@idwhite69 you are aware he produces all his own tunes and also a handful of other artists right? so even if he had a different accent he would still have an awesome music career.
its quite annoying how everybody on this bord i can see think this is a streets song.... its Elton John and this version was even made for the "40 years of radio 1" album, which was ALL cover songs.... this version is great! but its not original
I'm pissin myself at the proper comment wars, well funny! also pretty mint cover like, enjoyed it, has a lot of character, and the fact that its mike skinner just makes it legendary
He cant sing it, but thats not the point!, its just about the words like all skinners music, (and yes i obviously know its eltons not his), and personally think it was a warm up for him writing and making "the strongest person i know" off "everything is borrowed", anyon else agree? and the fact he cant sing it lends a strange kind of poetry to the lyrics.

Firstly, he's no singer, but he hits the notes and you can forgive him, because of his avuncular, laddish charm.
Secondly, listen to what the songs about - it fits so perfectly. If you don't have the cognition to imagine a little back story then switch off now - A young man who has nothing to give the girl he loves, other than his affection and this song he's written. And he's not a great singer, but its the best he can do - well, then it becomes beautiful. Transcendental. Perfect
@holifeet why are u on a forum about "worst covers ever" ...... thats like being on a forum thread called "music i wont like".....? whats the point in lisstning if u wont like it? mike skinner is fuckin genius! end of, and no he cant sing, but he never said he can.
Is this actually a fucking joke? Because there is no real reason why anyone anywhere would enjoy this travesty. I can't even begin to explain why it's so awful. Something perhaps to do with the abysmal talking on the verses, the piss-awful backing choir samples, the shit bitrate of the entire song, the foul drum loops that are meant to sound live but sound more like they were programmed for an N64 game and Skinner's feeble attempt at singing the chorus. Just awful, an absolute laughing stock.
@Nagsworth fuck off your a cunt if you dont like it go suck yourself off and watch glee with the virgin gang you fuckin jebend wankstain prick si tosser
Beautiful stunning song cleverly chosen. effortless and naturaly done. nice contrast to his usual stuff it feels emotional like its pouring from him... touching and such a versatile artist all of his albums r very different x
@Joe9017 Rich poseurs? You mean like Mike Skinner? No select group of people 'own' this song so there's no one to 'take it back' from. If you enjoy music, listen to it. There's no pretence that you have to be a rich poseur to listen to music where the guy can actually fucking sing. And there's no heartfelt earnesty in this cover version, either. All significance and beauty is lost. And I'm speaking as someone who hates the original version, too.
