I am in love with Ewan McGregor!!

[BlueJean1138]

@19steph83 omg me too he's amazing

[Calleban8356]

Outstanding boy>3<3<3....

[CoolCakey]

that was funny

[saltonowl]

This is the best version, in my humble opinion.

[tzoyia1]

and that's exactly what I do in the office when alone

[19thcentury]

"Shag", meant sex, or 20 years later in South Carolina, dancing style.

[19thcentury]

Simply great, every "kid's" dream then. It was the SOCK HOPS, THAT REALLY BROUGHT US TODGETHER FOR THIS MUSIC. Great rendition, fun.

[donjaysus]

not even close ewan, not even close :(

[badhat17]

fuck off mcgregor, no way near gene vincent

[parrotgirl87]

omg how lovely is he!

[mark7325]

Loved this mini-series ,some great old songs ,but most now blocked because of copyright . Sounds like big music company spite . Either buy it -or do one ! .

[montyxxrlzxx4eva]

EWAN MCGREGOR!!!!!!!!! I MISS HIM SO MUCH!!! WHY DOES HE NEVER SING IN ANYTHING ANYMORE!!! MOULIN ROUGE WAS SO GOOD!!!!!! ;-(

[Musicaljunki]

who gives a flying crap about wether he was lipsynching? its frikin ewan mcgregor! being hot as always!

[19thcentury]

This was the version that I remember from about 1957, he also had a eariler version. This version was from the movie with Jayne Mansfield. But, I loved them all.

[SINNERSTRONG]

the drifters did the original money honey, and gene shits all over elvis

[Theblogger96]

OH MY GOD!  HOT! XD

[hhhangelofmusic]

this song is a rip off of money honey, and gene vincent sounds a lot like elvis in it. if you listen to money honey by elvis presley and compare it to this song, they sound exactly the same!

[19thcentury]

You may laugh at his look, but just add, a black leather jacket, white silk scarf, jeans and loafers, with white sox. That was our look, all 16 years of me. Yes, that hair style was popular, "bad" like.

[19thcentury]

Yes, it was from the movie, "THE GIRL CAN'T HELP IT", with Jayne Mansfield. The earlier version was excellent, but this version was great. Gene Vicent looked different in the movie from the earlier 'tubes".

[problem49]

From the first lick it's totally evident that we're observing a poorly lip-synched version of the real thing. Ewan couldn't park his entire career in a fraction of Gene Vincent's shadow.

[TeSSiTra]

Ewan you had my heart at " be bop a lula " xD haha u are quite amazing !!! truly!!

[knird]

Great, every real Rockabilly likes to be like Gene Vincent

[cccgolfusa]

When this song came out, every teen guy I know was doing it in lip sync, but no one could duplicate Gene Vincent's delivery. Great!

[19thcentury]

This is the version I remember in the late 50's. Great, simply great, especially when they throw their hats off. But the beat---wow.

[bon1042]

@19thcentury Oh yes.... that beat, one of my favorites when it came out, 1958 or 1959 I think. Can't find any of this kine of music on radio today. It's all noise and they all sound alike to a great extent.

[dmroxs]

It's a shame he didn't sing. Ewan would have done it justice and added his own magic to it.

[RockabillyMike5120]

Just to clarify, this is the original Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps recording. Ewan is indeed lip syncing.

[mrarches]

dont be stupid,ewan is def singing

[leoseries]

Why bother mate! If people don't know this is Gene Vincent singing then they don't know who he is anyway!

[meharidude]

lip sync..it is indeed the original recording, but with some reverb added to it.

[CallumJStewart]

@RockabillyMike5120

And lipsynching badly!

[mrnobody89]

@RockabillyMike5120 Yes.... Yes it is the original Gene Vincent recording.

[TheSunRecords]

Gene's music lives on...

[TheCanelones]

te amooooooo

[nanobot1995]

he looks like tom hanks here but ewans awesome

[pendragoney]

he's so young here!

[TallulahRenae]

He Soo Doesnt Sound Like That Anymoree! Thank God!

His Voice Sounds Much Better In Moulin Rouge - Best Film Eveer!!!!!

[allikl7188]

I'm pretty sure that he's lip-syncing because I saw him in another clip from this show and he was singing a song I own and it sounded EXACTLY like the recording- he's good but he's not THAT good

[meharidude]

But he never sounded like that, what you hear is Gene Vincent and the Blue caps.

[ettyburton]

Ewan isn't singing there....

[slikster1765]

Ewan McGregor is so hott in the black...

what am i talking about? he's hott anyway he looks.

[redwaz]

[Lasher29]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOL AMAZING! I have been waiting to see that dialogue since I last saw it...As in....Hmm let's see....16 years!..Thank you so so so much for posting!

[ROGER459]
