Marcio, Brasil

[ancigire77]

Best version I have ever heard.

Best hat I have ever seen.

[bgpiper]

You eclipsed at the end! I just now caught that.

[iulenny]

Made me smile

[harristhecavaliers]

me too!

[edfmx86]

you got quite the voice

[JugglingJokers]

This is amazing because it're really sung from the heart, it seems.

I'm sure that the original had a few F-bombs in it!

[MartialGandhi]

The hat is ridiculous and i love it.

[francescorengifo]

Ohhhh you said fuck! :P

[hoogpah]

fuckin brill....class.

[peu239]

she is not cute, she is beautiful!

[kulangotses]

she's cute

[ianclivewright]

Oh, nice hat as well.

[ianclivewright]

Her voice is a feathered false fractured wing, dragging slighty as of a young wounded bird.

The friction of its touch a gentle kiss, as of cool dew in a bare foot meadow blessed with cool spring sunrise.

The smile is perhaps the knowledge that damns us all, the wing will break, and the wound be oneday mortal.

But to move others, even briefly, with a show of wounded pain, is to touch others, and change perhaps some orbits, dripped once with dark disdain.

Better that, than life immortal.

[bigdjindustriez]

Yeah ok bud, she's not gonna bang you. But nice try.

[ianclivewright]

hmmm, well geography never really made that an issue. You know that annoying size of the planet thing?

[taberdab]

That was one of the most beautiful posts I have ever read.

[ianclivewright]

"one of the"?, who is my rival, lol

I did another one for the same woman, singing I will survive, you might like that too?

But thank you, I'm glad you liked it.

[treatyourselftolunch]

Riiiiiiight.

ANYWAY...

Bizarre, fascinating rendition here. Did you throw in the Old School expletive? And that's obviously a hat for the ages.

[moalor262]

Yes, It is just as beautifull comment as your others.

[k14pc]

Hahaha, 1:10 is great. I didn't catch that at first =D

Even curse words sound pretty when you sing them =]

[marlkameley]

nice hat .. great song..lol

[DianaFrilms]

faaaaabulous!

[sagarana12]

Are you Brazilian? Your profile says no, but the comments say yes. Well, American, Brazilian or whatever, you're very good. This Total Eclpse of .. with influence of the Dan Band was excelent. Congratulations.

[jesuinogrilo]

Você é linda!!!

[lecabannis]

every time i see you ... i'm still loving you!

[billleboy]

wow! great song!

[777User]

You are one angel, im right?

[guxinho]

gostei das expressões da mocinha ao cantar!

parece tão concentrada e ao mesmo tempo tão descontraída...

[clattermachine]

you really should make these into mp3s and spread them all over the internet. these are brilliant.

[buscobanda]

Nice voice and you are beautiful!

[gerrsonsantos]

Muito Bom!!

Very Good!

Mui bueno!

[gward75]

Very nice!

[ColinCashin]

I've watched this probably ten times and I just noticed the eclipse! Brilliant!

[meisha1971]

Yes, that was ingenious! Nice job...

[jotaeme14]

you have a very sweet voice. Congratulations

[degill76]

Oh Old School.....

[DroidJaw]

You cannot curse with fruit on your head. It's the law.

[mamasume73]

I fucking love it!

[claybartenbear]

amazing

[kommos]

Che voce meravigliosa! Grazie a voi le mie giornate lavorative passano più in fretta.

[mexicoypaz]

i have not words you guys are great

[maurieer]

Yes, i would say it`s awesome.

[muttleschlitz00]

it's like, if richard cheese and rachel yamagata met in an 80's nightclub and had a chance encounter that spawned triplets.

and hey, by the way, i don't mean that in a bad way at all. i like richard cheese. and i ADORE rachel yamagata. it's just my way of saying that you guys are some kind of awesome.

[estigger]

Great!!!

[mugittid]

i love you baby

[theflashg0rd0nator]

Bossa nova banjo......nice :D

I like it.

[alteredchords]

that was.....refreshing, thanks

[xis333]

just wouldn't be the same without the hat?!....GUINNNESS!....why yes!...i think i'll have another!

[DanLSand]

Brava!! I would "never" cover that, as the original is like.... an overproduced... ice pick. But you have given it fresh life, (and I'll admit, it is not an awful song!) Nice arrangement and visual composition too!

I agree with blondstallion, you are... quite mad.

Keep it up!!

[bobharris77]

LOL!! "I fuckin need you more than ever"

Mercedezzz, you may not be the greatest musician on Youtube, but you are more fun than anybody I've heard before.

[FrozenRev]

I this better than the original. :D

[FrozenRev]

I like * ¬_¬

[djdevo]

Cool Beans! :)

[harbinger320]

haha so cool

[LOBEJE]

SYPERRRRRRR!!!!!

[xis333]

supa-sta!

[blondstallion]

Mercedez of the Bluelands, you are quite mad. And the most stunning girl i've ever seen. Ever. (i've seen some, owning the koolest bar in Amsterdam, the Lowlands)

P.S. live bossa every sunday, drop on by with your Bouzouki, your Cavaquinho or your Balalaika. And take the guy with the melodica please.

[nekopheliac]

sweet she dropped the F bomb! haha

<3<3<3

[teufelhunden70]

Love the hat. LOL!

[cesitaramor]

muy buena música...

[stillpug]

a fuckin need you more than ever... hahaha !!!!! i'm ripping this video!

[xis333]

just what can be sexier than a hot chick in a silly hat,playing banjo,and singing 80's tunes!....sexy i say !!!....lol!!!!!...seriously...­very sexy!....hhehehehhheheh!

[xis333]

Ms. spears is a train wreck...lol////!!1....Mercedes is not a train wreck

[funnyguise]

it's refreshing to see such a beauty love music. Usually they're just wanna be pop divas... Good on you!

A little better mix on this one. Look into getting an mbox. You can mix the sound and sync it to your video!

[sunbeams7]

really appreciate your work with the underprivaledged musicians, of central america, but cant help feeling your talents are wasted on the "Care in the Community"program...seriously.­.get a Band

[MickSmooth]

I think she looks much happier than lets say Mrs. Spears... doesn't she?

[mototype2]

Awesome! I loved it!

[burningbeing]

Very nice, thank you. Makes me feel like I'm on the school bus, except better.

[sumboy]

Great arrangement of the song!

[Gargonzolaisstinky]

I absolutely love your hat.

[GibsonAndVega]

You're tempting me to get my tenor banjo out of the closet. Haven't played it for twelve years.

[bpted]

You are the first person who has been able to make the four-string banjo an instrument that has meaning for me.

[liliandecelis]

love.....always

[gold5701]

You are simply too much!!

[antiethos]

This made me smile and laugh. You are so cute and funny. I love it. More! More!

(More banjolele too!!!)

[atmaroon]

Smokin.. Please post more english songs like Total Eclipse of the Heart, etc.. You should make a cd. Ps. I also play the banjo, but I don't have that killer voice. Again, Great voice.

[lexolo]

This clip reminds me of the Muppet show, in a very positive way of course. I absolutely adore you!

[enlyzer]

Mercedezz, you should definitively record "Tinha de ser com você", by master Antônio Carlos Jobim. I'm sure it'd be nice to see you people playing the song.

BTW, great job, as always. Bonnie Tyles is the appex of 80's style cheesiness.

[l33tmaster104]

I'd hit it.

[mercedezzz]

I'd totally hit anyone named l33tmaster.

[DominickValenti]

@mercedezzz Pretty sure he meant the dude in the red

[chitarra]

Sweet version!!!you are so Beautiful!!!!

un beijo!!!!

[KernelFactory]

I absolutely hate this song, regardless who would have sang it. However if I had to hear it, I much prefer to hear you sing it. Good job on a bad song.

[babadosfca]

i love the Carmem Miranda "Chapéu"

[listeningriffin]

you(all) are amazing

[GutoCucci]

Very sweet! 5 stars.

[Bertiklein]

Hi, a real nice JujuBananaRaeggae - there´s nothing left, but Mercedezz has to gurgle up her throat with a couple of Glassplinters to reach the Bonni Tyler Version....lol.

[bpted]

You are wonderful! Love the hat, love the song!

[file83]

Nice, you did the "Old School" version! "I fucking need you more now than ever!"

[MUNJOLO55]

Nice jazzy voice Mercedezzz... No words...

[guitaress1]

It rocks! This song is a wierd form, it's like three or four songs put together. It's 2 minutes til it gets to the Total Eclipse part, and then in her version it keeps going from there. I love that. And is that a price tag on your hat? It's a Minnie Pearl/Carmen Miranda hat then.

[mercedezzz]

It is a price tag! I wanted to show everyone what a deal it was. Only US$4.99!

[guitaress1]

Score! Where the heck do you shop! You must have good shopping mojo.

BTW did you see the French version duet of this with Bonnie Tyler? It's under "Turn Around" or "Si demain" Don't you love Youtube?

[mercedezzz]

I checked out the "Si Demain" version. So incredible. I just shook my head in wonder.

Actually Marylee got it for me (and one for herself) at a costume shop near her work, by Cabrini Green.

[headlightsunderwater]

This is fantastic, great atmosphere. You and your band give me a reason to smile.

[bgpiper]

Wow. What a great cover. I loved this.

[art2liv4]

Ja ja ja! I'm rather certain that this rendition has an antecedent in a karaoke bar somewhere. Total eclipse of Bonnie Tyler. Nice tremolo on one of them murky guitars back there.

[AllexRichard]

haha...muito doido...

[violaozim]

I'm having flashbacks... the backing vocals sounds great!

[iglooLoki]

I love you lol

[apenascris]

Mercedez, I looove your voice!! Lindaaaaa!!!

[sonnenberg]

Truly, this is genius. I've never been a fan of that era, but this is immortal... "I f*ckin' need you more than ever"... I hadn't heard that line before... Love the guitarist's smile at that point...

[sonnenberg]

Beautiful. Props to the Pips back there, but Mercedes, yer a dream!

[sunbeams7]

Magnificent, I love your sense of humour!

[marinho58]

As marcelo75 says, there is always something special about your clips. The position of everyone, the composition of the view in general, your staring at the cam....

Nice subtile jokes, associations.

Always Synthesis of text, music, words, movements, image

You are really very complete artists.

I've become a Bossa Saravah junkie..

[antiscialbtrfly]

You are made of awesomeee.

[uking]

special effects!ahahah!

[elbozz]

I could listen and watch you play for hours.

[spudwillis]

you eclipsed each other at the end. awesome.

[MiticoBule]

Very good!! Nice song and pretty performance...

[vivajay]

You totally eclipsed your backup players/singers at the end of it. Pretty funny...You reminded me of that singer who did Mama, Yo Quiero or whatever that song is called from the old Tom and Jerry cartoons with that fruit hat on. That would be a perfect song for you to do.

[Pablo668]

He he,

Great job guys! Finally a version of that song that's not by Bonnie Tyler..that I actually like!

Props to the Carmen Miranda hat btw....

[frugihoyi]

Brought a smile to my face, thanks.

[wedafux]

Thank you for remembering carmem in this hat and in this sweet sing... that's an intelligent intrpretation of her romantism and joy... girl, you always rocks!!!

[thedrunkenpilot]

i too love it when a cover is actually interesting and not just someone's crappy attempt. this is awesome, as always mercedes.

the best is you've got the wedding singer version hahahahHA. I fuckin' need you more than ever mercedezzz!

[BertsBreeze]

nice had

[alkirob]

It's cool when somebody does a cover and adds so much style to it. Great job, team.

[joadha]

Strangely touching. Charming and f'n hilarious. Five (non-eclipsed) stars!

[Lensei]

Loooooo...OOOOO...LLL!

[itirzotir]

Love the hat!!! : ))

[troubleclef]

sweet!

[Nanpa0]

Carmen Miranda,,, where is your dancing?

[ichigoemi]

i like your version

[marcelo075]

This is awesome...so much to love about it...the hat, the staring at the cam...the position of everyone, the eclipse at the end....and I am pretty sure you slipped in an extra word during the chorus around 1:12...laughed my ass off. good stuff.

[mercedezzz]

Thanks, Marcelo!!! It was really fun to record and we did a lot of laughing ourselves. The hat was a gift from Marylee. I sent her on an errand to buy some fake mustaches and she came back with this gem -- only $4.99! I left the pricetag on, as you can see in the video, because I want everyone to know about the great deal.

[mistresspav]

:D

:)

so so nice and beautiful

[184928237]

yes, that is a beautiful hat indeed.

[brazilianposer]

I SOOO want to be like you guys! If only I had beautiful hat that I could wear just like that one....

This about made me cry.

[Jorsh123]

Haha, I love it. Nice Old School reference in there too.

[proffmongo]

You guys are sooooooooo much FUN!!!

Thank you!!!!!

[faithm]

i totally enjoyed this. :D i love that song. so bad.
