  • The perfect song. Flawless cover. well done man

  • @shaffer2112 - thanx el mucho

  • Nearly perfect!

  • @JPPraterCO08 - thanks el mucho :)

  • Loved this version thanks for posting!!!!!! Your a true artist!!!! Thanks again!!!!!!

  • @foody1277 -thanks for stopping by to listen!

  • garbage !

  • This is a great attempt at duplicating the original. But what's the point in duplicating America, except as a learning exercise? This player obviously has musical talent: he should use this and evolve his own personal version.

  • @rodmeister74 - thanks for the comment rod. i've tried to evolve in my personal versions, but it's like a challenge to me to see how close i can get to the original. your point is valid and understood.

  • very nice

  • thank you

  • Have to admit that the thumbnail attracted me to this cover. That's not my style but I admit it does have its advantages. My cover has like 9 views though it's only been up for a few months. This song is obviously one that has been covered to death but it's a great song and that's the mark of a great song. People love singing it and hearing it. Rock on!

  • Thanks for stopping by George.....you too, should ROCK ON!

  • Seemed to have missed this one, love America stuff, very nice!!!!!!!!!

  • Thanks very much :-)

  • If you don't have that many pictures, I'd recommend slowing down the panning and lingering on each for longer. Unless you're ADHD I don't see the point of so much flickering.

  • Mate I would pay to see you sing like this live.

  • thanks mate! save your money for someone who can really sing. :)

  • It's strange. But this is closer to how I remember the original song went, and felt like. Thanks!

  • thanks for listening!

  • It's not but I have to give these guys credit I think this is how the song would have wanted to have been played. It feels more like this is the real song.

    Jim

  • thanks for listening Jim!

  • Not a bad job at all, enjoyed the tune thanks for the post.

  • thanks for stopping by.

  • show all the pictures you want ... in my world there's only one 'sister golden hair'

  • OK, whatever.

  • such a good song....my father used 2 sing this

  • i like ^-^ band

  • thank you!

  • I always loved the song (musically), but hated the 'golden' hair part. Blondes are so stuck up and people think they are so great. There is something wrong with that. They are'nt better or more beautiful than girls with dark brown hair and I get sick of society making the rest feel like the gum on the bottom of someone's shoe. There..i said it.

  • Yes, you did. I hope you feel better now.

  • Lyrics aside....this song encapsulates the purity, harmony and good ole days of my childhood...and this rendition is freakin AWESOME!!! Thanks for the memories dude!

  • thanks for stopping by xman!

  • guys like girls who are different and unique so for some reason we like blonds. I really don't care, but blonds with blue eyes attract me. I don't know why.

  • what is so unique and different about blonds? there are a zillion of them out there. not ALL guys like blonds thank God, many prefer brunettes. It's just all mean and stupid really.

  • where I live in southern California blonds are rare. I like red heads too, but many I know are albino. They are a little weird, but still hot.

  • i dont think all blondes r stuck up. i mean, im brown haired, but not all blondes r stuck up. i know how ur feelin. i met some blondes who stuck up and think the world involves around them. but not all blondes r like tht

  • Great Cover

  • Bitte! Vielen Dank für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.

  • I clicked on a "Recommended for you" link to this song, I start listening-sounds real good, and the singing comes in and.....whoa, that sounds like Dave. Then I look at the JUNKMAN name! How did I miss this? Awesome job. I've always loved this song.

    Randy

  • Thanks so much, Randy!

  • this is truly incredible very solid the only thing i would change is the openong electric guitar but A++[=)

  • Thanks for listening!

  • Beautiful rendition!  You guys are pros!

  • Thanks very much, but it's just me alone.

  • Wow, you are truly talented. I like the way you slowed it down a bit and enhanced the instrumentals and vocals.

  • thanks again!

  • Very nice man. Very America like !!
