Well isn't it just brilliant that The Fall can still shock and offend even after 30 years. However I am surprised at how precious everyone seems to be about the song though. Frankie will dig this. He knows any great pop song can pass the garage band treatment. And I hope everyone has been listening right through to the end. When Mark picks up his other microphone it makes all the difference. I thought Sinatra had appeared.
The Fall cover versions are not meant to be spot on like the real thing, they add their own eccentricity and style to them, I wouldn't be worth comparing it to the original.
Well the singer is too bust chewing gum. -Correction to my last comment.- That singer reminds me of a band director at a school I use to go to. Mr. George Vondracek at USCHS. Well his face reminds me of Mr. V's
so many stupid comments on this one. If you don't appreciate what The Fall and M.E.Smith have done for music you clearly don't deserve to watch this.. This is what it's all about folks..
I can't help but get the vision of an old ill-informed faux muso yank out of my head for some reason. somethings telling me you fit the bill try listening to something out of your comfort zone mate. you may find its a way to expanding a no doubt limited music knowledge.
can't sing??? he reinvented singing! this dude can sing and eat at the same time! (as this video proves!) this dude is a genius! when is some one gonna post videos form that show when he's takin' a poop while singing. brilliant!
