I've been posting this everywhere. It's insanely addictive and brilliant and I don't know why. I don't need to know why it's so great though. It simply is. Fantastic stuff fellas.
I love all your work but this is just the best ever! I'd love to go and see you "live", Do you ever do any "gigs" as such. You have to start making CD's or at least put some stuff up to download.
I´ve never heard the original song (I came to Gus videos because I´m a long time REGGAE&SKA fan) when I first saw this. It´s incredible, and totally EPIC on 1:25 min.
If you accept suggestions, how about a Toots and The Maytals or D. Dekker cover? Thanks.
I know this was done in 2006, but I frickin' love it! You two really need to get you some time in a recording studio and do some tracks. Covers, originals. I don't care, just make some Vinyl (CDs for these modern critters, lol) and put them out there. I'd buy a copy or two in a heart beat! Amazing cover, just simply amazing!
Why would it matter that this was done in 2006? Don't say you're one of those 'modern critters' after all? But deffo agree on their need to record and tour mucho and pronto.
@gritstoner It was in response to the fact they said it was new one and I just caught it 4 years later, that's all. I hate modern music. Most of it sucks and is extremely unappealing.
@shadowsofvibrate That is a Red Sound Dark Star (XP2). A digital synth from the late 90's. Isn't that expensive these days cause it sound's well not that great in compairson to later builded VA-Synths.
WOOT WOOT WOOT!!!!!! You Guys are awesome!!! I love this. I've been watching your Ukulele take on 80's pop and loving it....
I think it's just that you guys are just having so much fun that people can't help but enjoy watching this stuff. WAY TO GO!!! My other half has just seen it and walked away with a big smile on her face too.!! Thanks Guys!!
I commented on this ages ago, but I have to do it again, I love it so much! I actually prefer it to Numan's version. Can the keyboard teddy make a reappearance in a new vid..? ;o)
I'm the uke playing wife of Gary's original lighting designer.....you guys are wonderful. It was hearing you two that made me pick up the uke in the first place.
I am amazed by the way you took this completely alienated song--one of my favorite songs--and made it warm and fun. It's not just the ukuleles--it's also the irrepressible warmth of your vocals. You guys are obviously having a good time, and it's infectious. Thanks.
Guys this is awesome. I love all of your ukulele vids, but this is my favorite. Mixing Tubeway Army with an instrument championed by George Formby shouldn't work, but by god you've made it possible!
Gary Numan stole this song from you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome
