What a honey! Great taste in songs too and BRAVE to Uke it and upload. Thanks for making my day! Get a manager - promote - tour Australia!! I'd pay.... P.S. Can I request Another Satellite as your next one!?
I just came acroos this and I really, really enjoyed it. I think you have a lovely voice and thank you for sharing. Especially such an incredible song.
this is just so charming , it really honours xtc in the sweetest way imaginable ( there is another cover of this song by Freedy Johnston which is nearly as great as this;-}
I am looking for a naturally and cheerfully singing girl for years now to play retro stuff like the one you sing here. You come pretty close to what i look out for.
Why are the best people always the ones who are somewhere else?
Hey Whitney. That was a charming version of XTC's "Earn Enough For Us". XTC are one of my all time favourite acts. It's always heartening to see someone else has heard of them and even has a go at one of their tunes. I say: "Bravo for having such good taste in music, Whitney."
There is a tribute XTC album titled"A Testimonial Dinner"The version of this song,a cover,is fucking great.Also,the cover of "Another Satellite" may,gasp,be better than the original.If you like xtc,find this cd.peace
And thank you for your response to my 5 facts tag, it was great! A good friend of my family adopted two children from Russia, they are adorable! So congrats! Im very happy for you, you have a lovely family, dog included!
You make stuff 'catchy', girl! (I still can't get Cupcake Count Off outta my head. 'F-five cupackaes l-left!' See what I mean? I'm gonna hit replay and maybe this song will replace Cupcake song in my head. 'Started with ten-n!')
How about a kid's song about 'shapes'? Can't recall any good songs about 'shapes' from my youth. And they're kinda important, shapes are. Where would we be without them? ...Just a thought.
Wow. Very impressive.

You are too cool! I have liked this song ever since Skylarking was released.
I like XTC & Ukes and you are the first I've heard put the two together.
Thanks
ONWARD!
