Eels and Daniel Johnston - probably my favourite two artists. Not surprised he covered it... this could have been straight off his Blinking Lights album.
I remember that video. It's My Favorite Game by the Cardigans. I used to play music out there in Yermo/Daggett ,CA. Its also the town where Erin Brockovich was based around.
@Chucklefang this is so random and weird but im actually on the phone trying to get a better car insurance deal and watching this video... waiting on hold im reading the comments...weird!
I've long thought that the nearest artist to Daniel Johnston was gonna probaly be Eels.... and I've just found this. Very very good, although still a million miles from Daniel versions.
Daniel johnston verison is great. Kathy McCarty even does a okay verison. One of my favorite, is some dude on youtube, screen name mynamesche. He does a nice one. Maybe my favorite.
In all fairness, they're borrowing off of an even-less known musician. Not to say that Daniel Johnston isn't good, I love his lyrics (and The Eels' rendition of the song), but it doesn't do much for their fame.

Interersting how the Eels version is more tragic than the one of Daniel Johnston. Good job, regardless!

daniel johnston's live version is much better than this. the eels are okay, but the way they perform it, it sounds like a country song.
