Don't Look Back In Africa - Beardyman

[jimbobbolooki]

I'm quite surprised nobody has yet made a "beardy eye" joke.

[recblackmeat]

Actually it's a Trinidadian instrument, first played and invented in Trinidad, made famous in Jamaica due to a more affluent trade and tourist route. Beardyman nails this song too!

[LightsOutChannel]

Paul simons graceland-ish :D

[MrSirTeach]

Dear Beardyman,

I have listened to this song many times and really enjoy it but I cannot, no matter how hard I try, imagine the lead voice coming from your mouth. Please put my mind at ease and feature this voice in your next video.

Sincerely,

Max

[XKageOokamiX]

It's so hard not to like a cultured music artist like Beardyman...

[Aliwoof23]

Mind blown o_o ♥

[MrHewholaughslast]

I'm very disappointed that you won't perform at my wedding in Italy. I don't live in the UK anymore so the opportunity to come and watch you live isn't there. :(

[MrHewholaughslast]

I'm very disappointed that you won't perform at my wedding in Italy. I don't live in the UK anymore so the opportunity to come and watch you live isn't there. :(

[sh4d0w225]

You gotta be jamaican Beardyman. Because Ja Maican me crazy.,

[kijikonoble]

Im so baked and I love Africa.

[djouroboros]

Holy god, is there any style you can't do?!? You're unbelievable.

[yorty007]

beardyman - do you have anymore African style like the beginning and the end of this track?

[verzeda]

@yorty007

Its sooooo nice :D I want to hear more african vocalage!

[eddFACE1]

"who think they're as good as the beatles but they're not. ."

I FUCKING LOVE YOU MR. BEARDY!

[recblackmeat]

INCREDIBLE

[thepeanutpixel]

[DrRubblez]

@ulgorol 

[ulgorol]

hey!! I'm from germany and your music is just fantastic, monkey jazz and the pure-vocals like your featuring with flute sounds great. And this song shows the possiblity of your special kind of music. go on and have a lot of fun!!!

For my part, I will tell your music in bavaria to every homie!!

cYa, ulgo

[Jenntasnim]

What the fuck I'm trippin! I've been beat boxing all of my life. I don't remember ever starting or anything, but that was nuts. i've seen Scratch (from the roots live) I've listened to Rahzel, and Kenny Muhammad etc. That was nuts though.

[OldSkoolMassiveRec]

[RastaRhymesOBK]

[lenrico]

[japthecrap]

[StellaOmega]

@japthecrap it's really like Ladysmith Black Mambazo at the start...

[mikecuzins]

[Alkatross]

[grumo81]

Amazing. Still trying to work our how you got the guitar to sound so real! 5*

[TheTruthCanes]

This song is the sex. Nice one Beardyman :)

Oh, and there can't seriously be anyone who doesn't get that it's a cover of Don't Look Back in Anger by Oasis can there?

[zorn616]

@TheTruthCanes 5 ppl did`t get that part..  ^^

[Hittman1422]

yup, pure awsomeness.... nuff said

[yourbuddyman]

Don't look back in Anger- Oasis

[thewatnow]

no really?

[vinnyvibes]

OASIS, but wich song?

[gusto68]

That's the shit! To me you are a livin legend bro!!! :)

[allywallybentlegs]

just gets better and better

nice one beardy

[CR4TES]

I used to want to practice all the time and try really hard to be an awesome musician; honing my skills on the keyboard, guitar, harmonica, saxophone, drums, bass and kazoo.

Now I realize I've been wasting my time. All I ever needed was a Kaoss 3 pad from Korg. XcD

[themennisspk]

2 kaoss pads... and a digitech jam man...

then some mad mad vocal skills

[vela0887]

beardyman is a legend, i love his e4 parking warden skit, esp the chocolate one!! yaaay chocolate.

[theestever]

Those vocals at the start - proper as in PROPER.

This cover version is just plain fucking amazing, I know how he does it (kinda) and it still astounds me - it sounds just like a full band and several vocalists.

Some of his stuff doesn't really inspire me but at his best - like here, the guy is a bloody marvel!

Thank you Man Of Beard for the big fucking smile on my face right now.

"Naa wot I mean?" Hahahahahaha... awesome.

[xEskimoEmilyx]

It doesnt matter what he does, it always sounds so good and everytime i hear him it just makes me smile.

lmfao keep going beardyman ; )

[tavk22]

Beardy u are really crazy :))

[deejayshoby]

:XX:X:X BEARDY MAN RULZ :X:X:X:X

[yeshperry]

your are immence Beardyman, i want to meet you so bad! You are my idol :)

x

[odi22865]

Im Sooo Happy i am alive in his time :)

im soo Glad ill stay almost as long as him on earth :D

[dddrum]

DAY yum! That's some kine o' riddim, keeed! Need I add, NO WAY, SIS! Da Gallagher Bruddas is KER- PWWNED.

[mat5swp]

This is just ridiculous, ive been watching all your stuff for the last week solidly mate, this has just blown me away! when are you in leeds?

[guyintightsman]

DUDE! he sounds just like lady smith black mombazo in the begining

[Zaning]

How does he do the steel-drum sound with his voice!?!?

[redbull7946]

mate release a album of covers done like this would be so gud! love the feeling doos song u did at google do the whole thing!

[apollyon1]

release as a single?

[MissHolliWould]

Is there anything Beardyman can't do?!!?!? AND he does it all well!!! Beardy you are making the rest of us look bad =P

[culinarynerd]

Heaven help us! Does having a schoolgirl crush on this brilliant bastard mean I'm straight after all?

[Stoli712]

Thank God for Beardyman. Oasis are useless, and the rubbish they spew has been turned into pure musical genius by A BEARDED MASSIAH! Well, he's pretty good. And He was amazing at the custard factory the other night!

[DJOpenMike]

he was awesome at the custard factory!!

[angelface1985]

he was at the custard factory!?!? ah man!! i ralised the genius of beardyman too late to see him in person... boooo :(

[balist0]

WTF beardyman!! you turned a trashy piece of britpop that I hated into something I barely have the words to describe using nothing but the twin powers of your face and mind. You sir are a legend!

[bluelueboy]

The performance is great, and the theme is just wonderfull.

Thank you so much for such a delicious break :)

[Garuff]

those steel drums can't be you. my frigile little mind refuses to believe that.

[ZintheHood13]

@Garuff It's actually very easy to make a sound like a steel drum, just buzz like a bee and click your tongue :P Or something along those lines, takes some practice xD

[MaTtAnDpAd]

@ZintheHood13 A steel drum is a traditional Jamaican instrument not found on any drum kit and is normally played itself in the street. It sounds nothing like any noise produced by clicking the tongue or buzzing.

See here to find out a steel drum is and why beardyman is awesome: watch?v=H-bTMbePj0A if you can make this sound feel free to post a vid.

[abigasm]

@Garuff he's an electronic steel drum that he plays x

[MaTtAnDpAd]

@abigasm have you read the description? The Bearded One doesn't lie :)

[cookiethemelonfarmer]

Well funny! Love it! I wonder what his inspiration was for this?

[jimjam5544]

OASIS!!!!

[dahlwin]

I love this song...

[millomloyal]

Beardyman = comedy genius

[jimmybob30991]

Beardyman = GOD!!!!!!

[kfijatass]

You did all kinds of music, but how about, something oriental :D?

[cmills5]

beardyman = sex

[123age321]

i am better

[arbhal]

yeah, we know... do you have something more to tell us?

[Drewdrops]

genius!

[JayD3luxe]

this song is si brilliant !!!

beardyman is like an god^^

nobody will ever win against him in beatboxing ;) he is the best !

[9Silent0Harmony2]

he is imagination!

[indyjones32]

After a while i forgot that this was all from one mouth.

Fucking brilliant

[zedooncadhz]

i know he does everything from his mouth but listening to it i really dont think he could be doin the quiet xylophone in the background can he?

[himynameismart]

everything.

[kaosblaze]

EVERYTHING.

[p8ballr]

BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!!

[flynegative]

Pure distilled genius.

[JensOstendorf3]

Pure and utter brilliance! Amazing stuff! This really puts Oasis to shame! Where does this guy get the ideas from?

[topbluffa1]

lol at 00:21 the click sound

[Frogmjf]

Its OASIS!! lol... they so wished they were there the Beatles so much haha

[smoggo1981]

hahahaaaa! fucking sweet mate. XD

[TwoTube2]

I love the obvious parody of Lady Black Mambazo'a style :) Weird but great reinterpretation of a quintessentially Britpop anthem.

[poocrumbleking]

hahahahaaahahaaha i love beardyman hes my hero hahahahahaahha

[FlyingSpanners]

This is the first tune by that band I've actually liked - arrogant talent vacuums that they are.

As ever, loving your work Sir!

[ugamat]

you are one smart cookie, beardyman. i loled a fucking lot! :D

[doojamaflick]

am sure i heard alot of swearing secretly in this....

[blupenguinTV]

yep, it's don't look back in anger.

it's made me giggle1 i love it lol :-)

[BMTHareinsane123]

might sound stupid but how is this like dont look back in anger?

[blupenguinTV]

if u listen to the lyrics and ignore the music u can hear it :o)

[BMTHareinsane123]

oh yeaaah lol thats well clever. thanks :)

[RubyStr]

is the band "oasis"?

[RixeDNB]

greaaaaaaat

[abominableangel]

i just want to know how the hell he did the kettle drum sound... thats a tough one id have thought

[AshleyDBird]

I love it. Unlike a few other people I can see Beardy doing this with a studio, he's amazing.

[ernie5394]

sounds like one of the "Sims Vacation" songs :D

[rivethead2007]

John Peel would be playing this if he were still around. :)

[rickinio]

when i sed shit i didnt mean it lyk tht i love beardyman hes my fuckin idol hes AMENSE

[odi22865]

This remembers me of when i was in Suriname =D

Well done Beardyman!

[downpressor]

absolutely freakin wild!

[rickinio]

he probs used his kaos pad to do it

[dsman19]

its done in a stidio....

and produced.... like profesional looping...

[dudeandy12]

he's used loopinggg

but its all still from his mouthhh :)

witch is amazinggg

[rickinio]

shit !

[rickinio]

i didnt mean it lyk tht

[petermallam]

Sounds like something straight off Graceland by Paul Simon...

[jimbodini1]

thats so great, love this

[mooxim]

backing guitar sounds, brass sounds and african voices in that one were very difficult to believe they were done by the beard. They must've been modified somehow surely. I'd love to see Beardyman recording that or hear the track isolated.

[hypermonkey13]

Look at the monkey jazz one

[mikeyD212]

Well I can completely see him doing the african voices too. The man's a genius, well within his vocal capabilities!

[floyd741]

That was awesome.

[WhatWasThat]

It's hard to belive he can do all this! But I know he does, he wins.

[Camoammo93]

beardy man is awesome but... i think he faked this....

[johnnyfezzer]

He is awesome, but what do you mean faked?

He does produce other kinds of music apart from beatboxing and looping and I think he did a good job. He just did mixing here I think.

Fezz.

xx

[jillybnz2379]

0>0 Love it~ WOW its Raw and U ROCK

Blessings, Jillywiccan )O(

[MonoTheLuke]

amazing, Beardyman!

[CaptainWilhelm]

[dsman19]

[KorbinianLooser]
