Sunday Smile - Blondie (Beirut Cover)

[TheHaigau]

suck

[Roxanna8294]

um........



[BergamoFirenzeSGV]

I'm not one for people doing covers of Beirut because they are so epic on their own but this is kinda pretty.

[bcom11]

why does this have so many dislikes? this is so good. nice mellow filler song for the album. not a single, but relaxing.

[Kknaap]

This song makes me so damn happy ! :) I truly enjoy it, and debbies voice is sounding very good here :D

[mgagl01]

@Halileet what do you win? Looks like we all win

[LulaMae]

@Halileet - you win! BIG time.

[jonneyd]

Glad they back makes me cry.

[orlvjerry]

I dont care what anyone else thinks about this CD! I love every song!!!

And ive been a fan ever since "Plastic Letters". This is her BEST work in years!!!



[sammiefyed]

I personally LOVE this song

[RaccoonBrigade]

Coming from a huge Beirut fan that doesn't really know much of Blondie (besides their hits,) I really dig this cover.

[rmiw92]

It's like they should be put away for crimes against humanity/pure beauty/ perfection on earth. I like Blondie, I just hate this cover

[FrenziedNarwhal]

You know....Blondie just isn't Zach...

[bollocksnlilies]

ruins the song for me. sorry to say it, specially because sb watches a video that one actually likes, but I hadnt listened to the cover version and now I m freaking panicking over this catastrophe. There can be no talk of another version of the original song either, because they just dont sing the same song.

[juangabrujita]

Me gusta la cancion pero la version original me parece mejor, igual es una bonita cancion

[BergamoFirenzeSGV]

Beirut will forever kick everyone's butt. Zach Condon is a gift to this world. This is a nice cover though. Don't be negative nellies! :D

[TheDarksEmpyrean]

Just heard the cd...I love it. This songs sounds great, like the end the end also..awesome. good to hear Debbie and the boys again ;)

[deadeye003]

oh God, what an awful cover, imho

[tikitadd]

When will people stop ruining Zach Condon's wonderful works of art? He's already done every possible thing he could to perfect them and they can't be improved; why do you see fit to desicrate the soul that he puts into these materpieces?

[WorkingtonWeekendTV]

@tikitadd I'd be inclined to agree, but he is playing the trumpet on this song/album, so I guess he's pretty OK with it.

[filk82]

@tikitadd Zach Condon performs the trumpets on this, so I guess he didn't have a problem with it. It's not so bad; it could have ended up being a really generic pop/dance cover by some "flavour of the moment" band. Not my cup of tea (and definitely not a patch on the original) but it's an interesting enough take on the song. Plus, it might point more potential fans in Beirut's direction.

[ViolettJeanTeam]

CHECK OUT VIOLETT JEAN! HER SHIT IS CRAZY! YOU'LL LOVE HER!

[blueshifted77]

Zach from Beirut plays on this, which is cool. The members of Blondie are fans. I thinks it's very well done.

[jas22]

this song sucks. the new CD is the best of the 3 most recent. i have been enjoying it, but i skip over this song. the guitar work in this band is abysmally lazy and boring. yet another ska beat from Blondie. 

[RMMM11]

Have you noticed that the covers that other artists make from Blondie songs suck?But the covers that Blondie make from other artists are better than the original ones?

[veggielord]

@RMMM11 no, in my opinion Beirut's version does a better job on this tune. Was kinda disappointed with this version but oh well, Blondie is still cool with me haha.

[MrDebbieHarryfan]

heavenly voice

[teendreamdeejay]

this is beautiful.....i'm so happy for debbie and the boys.....as for copyright infringement......not only will i download this but i will probably purchase the new record at least 4 or 5 times and i cant tell you how much money i've spent over the years on this group(gladly). artists don't receive any royalties when you purchase a used cd and i'll bet you've done that.........

[reelrootsryan]

f*ck yeah Beirut! New Mexico's finest.

[FrannyLovesUkuleles]

It's just not right...

[aotilt]

thought this was a great cover. then again, i'm not a jaded hipster! LOL! life is so good when you can enjoy things!

[chopinjoelman91]

I can't stand her covers of beirut. They are an injustice.

[sonnenanbeter89]

@chopinjoelman91 her? it's a band that covers this song

[christinaaaaa]

blondie is great for covering such a great band. beirut needs to get more credit. they are the band of the century!! <3

[y2jango]

Why make this cover? Awful.

[bernoulli01]

@y2jango because Harry's voice is something special, and because it is a great song which is not ruined by someone else singing it. Wonderful.

[funkstarnyc]

love it.....just go away you nasty people and stay away

[winstonstagthigh]

What a piece of shit, sounds like click and drag reformat under reggae tab 14 year old music school student shit

[Adriat1c]

@winstonstagthigh total truth.

[teendreamdeejay]

@winstonstagthigh whatever weinerbob, this is a good cover and i'm sure beruit(ooh a band name ripped off from lydia lunch anyway) will be thrilled if blondie sells a lot of this song for them.

[hattttts]

I'd say Beirut's original is far preferable. This one loses the song's feel in the transition.

[kraenk12]

this is blasphemy



[Grofazz]

Beirut forgive me but Blondie won this one.

[torason]

@Grofazz Blondie never looses

[kraenk12]

@Grofazz

lol

[eattothebeat75]

the good-- d day,mother,love doesnt frighten me,sunday smile,china shoes,what i heard.

the bad---wipe off my sweat and le bleu...ok but average compared to rest of album

[godisbad2008]

@eattothebeat75 I think mother it's a very simple song, I put it on the BAD, Le Blue is nice, the favorite D-Day!

[RaptureandZune]

@godisbad2008 "Wipe off my sweat" is really the only bad song in the album. After listening to it for 10X+ times, it still sucks.

[blueshifted77]

It's beautifully done.



[OWOA]

You can have your views on this but to upload & share defeats why this album was made. What about the hard work Blondie went to to create just for someone like you to feel the need to upload & maybe hurt the sales of this album... At least give it a year before you do this sort of thing!

[godisbad2008]

@OWOA yes, they made a great job on this album!

[petersp63]

When I first heard the cd I thought I wasn't gonna like it but then on 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th -24th -83rd hearing in fact It's not been off my MP3 when im out the album rocks!!! well apart from the slow numbers when its mellow heaven!!!

@petersp63 sorry you're right is a great album!

[ihasch]

If you are such a big Blondie fan whose opinion is so valuable, then why are you violating their copyright?

[godisbad2008]

@ihasch only to share this great song!

[RJLupin6]

@ihasch It's technically not breaching copyright since he's not being paid. Fair use.

[ihasch]

@RJLupin6-Neither are they. Oh well. The comment is out of context now but I'm leaving it as is.

[RJLupin6]

@ihasch I'm not sure what the context of your original comment was, but I don't really see anything wrong with it as long as it's legal. Personally, if the artist themselves asked me to take it down (I do have a couple videos on my own channel that it could happen with), I would take them down, even if I didn't legally have to.

That said, I think maybe a buy link to Amazon or something might be good for the balancing of it.

[kickyourmum]

@ihasch

You've also violated it by watching this video.

Catch 22.

[iluvdeboraharry]

I think "The End, The End", "China Shoes" and "Wipe off my sweat" are great ... as well as "Mother" and "What I Heard" .... :)

[godisbad2008]

@iluvdeboraharry "Girlie, Girlie" is so catchy that song works better as a single than "Mother".
