Mister Blue Sky cover, Tony Visconti

[BennOliverr]

Love it. The ending is very interesting and soulful and all that. Good stuff.

[himself801]

Kind of a Flying Lizards take on the song like there version of "Summertime Blue"

When ELO's version was first issued it was a favorite of David Bowie's son and Tony's hung out with him, maybe this is his way of fracturing it.

[shelly10538]

I love his work with T. Rex, Wings, Sparks and Bowie but I don't know about this, although it gets better as it plays out.

[Ac3Jay]

Ha. I do this shit, where I talk out songs and burst into songs randomly.

[SookieNVelo]

retarded

[steviebeebishop]

back again a month later, cause i LOVE this! it is art. silly people, he's not attempting to "sing" i believe that the monotone vocals contradicting the actual meaning of lyrics is the reason why this cover is so fantastic. love this!

[williegofar95]

i dont get it :S

[laconchetuputamadre]

Man, did I ever wanna kill someone....

Please don't fuck up my favourite song. You suck shit so much it makes me cry...

[derrytift2]

[derrytift2]

Or Mister Rude Guy.

[steviebeebishop]

"mister rude guy" hahaha snap!

[speedformercy]

@laconchetuputamadre take a chill pill dude, I don't like it either, it's not how I would prefer this song, but it's not THAT bad

[maddiks]

boo it sounds like a stoned guy trying to rap until he gets to the corus. then it just sounds like some mice trying to sing

[kaz0lace]

holy shit he sucks so much ass

[Thuno]

I love this!!!! It's awesomely god awefull!!!

[shogunblade]

He [Tony Visconti] sounds like what would happen if William Shatner (singing) had a baby with Tom Brokaw and the lubricant that held it together was a recording station and some unknown psychedelic drugs strewn around the office.

[steviebeebishop]

based on the other comments i thought i wasnt going to like this.....i actually really enjoy it! i would totally put this on my ipod.

[Giovan95]

This guy does NOT know how to sing!!!

[Twtichy]

[ricky2taan]

[AbercrombieInFitch]

[fukiboy]

[Messibles]

wtf is this this this this is .......... crap i mean listen to it it is horrible i like Lily Allen's way

[Nemobaby411]

were u trying to make this worse than it was?? its HORRIBLE! if u werent trying to make it worse than eww

[derrytift2]

It's not me singing. It's not my version. I only posted it because I thought it was radically different from the original and was worth sharing with everybody else. Tony Visconti is actually a record producer who has worked with the likes of T-Rex and David Bowie. This is one of the rare occasions where he sings. Anyhow what is the point of doing a cover version if it sounds the same as the original?

[derrytift2]

By the way, nice website! Keep up the good work with the horses!

[heykoolaid19081]

that guys not hitler hes just speaking german and by the way, he said your video was good

[xde18]

FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

[YoullNeverBelieve]

I think this worse than Lily Allen's.

:S

[DerStechaDeinaMAMA]

Gay Lord

[derrytift2]

Hitler!

[DerStechaDeinaMAMA]

Aber Richtig Frankfurter Würstschen Für Das Wunderbare Talent !!!! -_-

[DerStechaDeinaMAMA]

;) Don't get me wrong Robbin Williams

[Berrino94]

Disgusting

[Giovan95]

he sounds like he's talking. bitch he's suppose to be singing. GAY! lily allen's version is better

[MelaniePortrip]

Well the original is best... And I heard Lily A's version first, and liked it better first, then I heard the original and it's just so much better than Lily's.

[Drratburn]

Lily's version is TERRIBLE compared to the original. The originial was modeled and supposed to sound like a Beatles song...Lily's version just sounds bad.

[MelaniePortrip]

Ok...

[Giovan95]

is there a way someone could take this video out of you tube. this bitch does not know how to sing for $#!*

[loszhor]

The lead singer is too monotone but thankfully the chorus is really good so I faved it anyways.

[Segagensis66]

This creeps me out... 0_0

[JackXIII]

Well, the Chorus actually sounds good, but the guy's singing I kinda dislike, but still... IT MAKES ME FEEL HAPPY WHEN I HEAR IT! (Interesting take on the song though, seriously)

[derrytift2]

On the original ELO song where the DJ at the start says "Todays forecast is for blue skys!" I always imagine that this version is what the DJ would have done if he'd had carried on throughout the rest of the song as well.

[coolpeople08]

This is really creepy. Lily Allen's wuz ALOT better

[RandiCandi11]

wow. and all the people were saying lily allen messed this song up. take a look at this loon.

[WordsSilenced]

im scared now after this

[xoxochi]

oh my god, he sounds like a rapist. O.O

[derrytift2]

Why doesn't everybody just chill out? It's a SONG for christs sake! This cover was done way before Lily Allen's. I just provided the graphics as something to look at instead of a blank screen. I like both versions.

[xoxochi]

why does that dude sound so damn creepy?!

[pinkkunoichimayu]

pardon my french but... BONJOUR!!!!!ahem. sorry. wat i meant 2 say was... DAMN U!!!!! DIE!!!! I HATE U BASTARDS!!!!!

[fairyatluvland]

that's just plain effin mean.

[Turtlex95]

This sucks!!

[Berrino94]

WHAT IS THIS SHIT?

[xoxochi]

Lol

that's what I was thinking.

[AmazingShoestring]

Wow, his singing is so effortless! No really, I mean he puts no effort into his singing. Please, tony, leave this style to the big dogs like will shatner.

[xoxochi]

uh...

[TeqnoShaft]

Hahaha...at least it was technically picking on the ingenuity of Lily and not ELO :)

[Segagensis66]

That was just plain f*cking mean to lily

[whirlpoolzend]

Alvin and the Chipmunks did a good version too...plenty of 'oomph'.

But who can really touch the original?
