David Byrne - I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Live)

[UpdownCourt09]

He can't sing anywhere near as good as Whitney. Fail.

[germany10]

this song is great, i like his cover much better than the original, haha

[TheGreatGallbo]

All Byrne did here was take the Whitney label off of a good pop song and re-appropriated it into something else.

This is great ... don't hate on David

[amateursinga]

I didn't like it :( prefer the version whith Whitney's big voice.

[plumster]

He makes it so much fun and its both tongue in cheek but also a tribute to a great song to dance to.I was there and it was a fantastic atmosphere.DB was on top form.

[whiteej2]

You're crazy, this is the shit...one of the most interesting covers I've ever heard...and the damn synths!  It was an unplugged concert don't you folks watch PBS!!!

[dlweiss2]

i bet if whitney covered "naive melody" it'd suck

[momofthreegirls]

Awesome video

[freddieg86]

song suits synths better

[gcjacobs]

I hope Whitney doesn't see this, she'll surely go back to drug usage. Why would he even attempt this?

[punkieboy1]

I AGREE

[aeon2364]

qft

[civanlobo]

He changed the part "I need a man who will take ..." aahahah "I need a girl" David Byrne is great but Whitney is the Queen, Diva.

[DSB009]

"I just wanted to see if I could pull my tounge out of my cheek long enough to do this." Apparent success until about halfway through the chorus. I'd dance with you, David.

[VidiEdiDormi]

well said, what the hell i did.

[ire5]

alguien sabe si el que está al violín es Win Butler el vocalista de Arcade Fire?

[JDMACCC]

oh my lord this made me want to kill myself

[rickofavon]

Fail troll is fail.

[whatthehellidid]

he actually made the song believable. good job david!
