The guy who shot this should get is ass kick.. The kid who did this deserves better quality for his strong effort in his impression of Thomas Dolby...
I've posted a link to it on the forum on TD's website, knowing that he sometimes reads the posts... no response as of yet.
"Budapest by Blimp" is far and away my favourite Dolby song, though every single one of them is wonderful. (The guy is not capable of producing a bad song...) It was hard as heck figuring out those chords but SO worth the effort. Raphi wavers in his favourite between "She Blinded Me With Science" and "Europa and the Pirate Twins."
Have you sent this to Dolby himself yet? This is pretty neato. I'm sure he'd be impressed! (And "Budapest" is definitely a worthy follow-up! I LOVE that song!)
(From the mom) That was December... for Christmas I bought him a keyboard and he's now picking out the songs by ear. I figured out the chord progression for "Budapest by Blimp" and that enabled us to do a credible version with me on piano and a little keyboard, him on keyboard taking care of the percussion and bass plus some of the synth parts AND the vocals. We'll post a video of that once I think we (mostly ME) have it solid enough...

I shot it on a cell-phone... the sound quality sucks.

Too bad you didn't have an better audio device because this kid is quite good. At times he sounds exactly like the original song.

He's got an insanely good ear for the details.
