Gary Numan & Little Boots - Venus In Furs

[deadsonrising1]

stuning

[dstdvl]

crap

[soloymon4]

NO.

[swampdodger33]

interesting...the darkness is missing though,

[aecoulson]

@Hammersmith80 I do like your music, though - respect!

[lunicodanone]

Ah! como amo a esta mujer.

[leonakita]

lmao @ 'Little Puss' playing one finger keyboard @ 0:30- 0:40 then breaking into some killer cracker style tambourine. I dont know whats worse, that or Gary wielding an electric guitar that he couldnt play for shit if his life depended on it !

[sonofsilence]

Nothing on the original. It's lost that edge completely. Just sounds nice instead. Which I guess means they've lost the point of the song. All the same I have added this to my FB group dedicated to cover versions. It's called "The Guilty Pleasure of Cover Version".

[FTJosh]

The more I listen to them together the more I get bothered that they aren't making an album together. I don't think I could ever get tired of them.

[MaaarningBeeky]

why on earth wasnt this released as a single ?

[binitials]

There's a bit of Fad Gadget and early Depeche Mode in this, but maybe these guys should get a bit more stoned to get to the level of absolute artistic perfection and genius displayed in the original version.

[ChrisVanOz79]

top coalition!

[kvkrob]

Somehow this song is unbreakable(sp). Much like "The Model" by Kraftwerk any version of this song is worth hearing. By the way, try "The Model" by Snakefinger. Also "Venus in Furs" by Beck. P.S.- Snakefinger "Man in the Black Sedan". Of course the original song by Velvet Underground "VIF". See novel by Leopoold von Sacher-Masoch,father of the term 'Masochism'. The Marquis de Sade(120 Days of Sodomy) being the originator of 'Sadism', thus the popular S&M subculture.

[binitials]

@kvkrob 120 days of Sodom, not Sodomy!

[waheex]

is the name little boots from the roman name for Calligula?

[animalglonk]

this is why we can't have nice things



[sl3ptsolong]

The chorus sounds like it should be in a childrens tv programme.

[DancingSpiderman]

Kissable little Miss Vicky. My Honie.

[jocksilver7]

...I mean she uses the microsynth like a tazer! Wasp-y!!!

[jocksilver7]

severin, severin, are tazers electric?

[jocksilver7]

don't whip the android! at least he made the human effort to cover it in an original way - it's not perfect , but it just sucks so slightly one can hardly notice. I wonder whether the girl-child was aware of whom she was singing with - it's Gary bionic-yoddle for Christ's sake! And she yelled as if he were Ozzy!

[raydex63]

Not great but as I've been a fan since 1979 I kinda like anything he tries, sort of go along with it. It's just a shame some people feel the need to knock him (or indeed anyone) on here, nice and anonymous. Would they say such things to the person's face? No I doubt it, the cowardly backstabbing British way is better & safer eh.

[MissPankhurst]

Brilliant. One of my favourite ever songs! Love it! It is my ringtone.

[Hammersmith80]

Not heard this before. It's a terrible performance from Numan. Little Boots is right on the money with her vocals but 'ol Numan is completely out of his depth. Doubtful she will work with him again.

[darklord20042002]

RIP Paul gardiner Great rendition by numan tho, Gazza keep the army going !

[gummboote]

One of the worst, stupidest cover versions of all time.

[bckm54]

um...no.

[tutlisa]

oh gary how old are you

[tutlisa]

oh god gery how old are you

[PaulMcGahan]

Not that good, sorry guys, it was boring actually

[janochanotariusz]

velvet underground karaoke....this cover sucks soooo bad

[bigdunk9]

oh lord

[justnicknet]

This is fucking FANTASTIC

[numanettetrish]

Love it. xxxxxxxx

[amanecerOT]

love VU*

love GN*

and (probably) love LB...!!

[Babaziba]

Gary's first verse a note too low (sound problems I assume since the melody was intact) was vaguely painful but it ended well.

[Dracopol]

1:42 Smile for the humans, Gary. Smile. They'll think you're one of them.

[iiimusika]

@Dracopol gary numan are you from pleyades????

[Dracopol]

@iiimusika Do you mean the Pleiades? Hahah. Is he a gray? A reptiliad? I don't know. I laugh at UFO/extraterrestrial bullcrap.

[garboil]

does anyone else think this is a tribute to Paul Gardiner? - it sounds a lot like his arrangement....

[guywholikesvids]

@garboil funny you should say that. He doesn't say this, but Paul actually did a cover of this shortly before died. So I think your right. Hey, anyone else going to the show at the Concorde 2 on 18th?

[jokingpants]

Man this is weedy! Big fan of Gary, but this is just a bit of gimmicky nonsense!

[jennivega2001]

Really like this cover. Love Gary, went to see him in concert with my dad in Glasgow when I was little :)

[rexel666]

Gary Numan is a legend; it's fantastic that he's still around and doing his thing.

[Aghamorad]

Wow. Very different from the original, but still equally as good. Glad to see Numan still at the top of his game.

[halose7en1980]

Classic cover of a great Velvet Underground song

[GUNSandMEASURES]

pretty great stuff!

[paradoxstate]

what can you say but fantastic :) lets hope Gary does more with other artists like this. but have to agree with vularen these two should release a single.

[vularen]

wow what a pairing , they should realse it as a single , watched the show was brill
