@xrayeyesb4u I wonder if you would say that to Sean Kingston. Or Puff. Or Eminem n Lil' Wayne. That's what creative people do, kiddo. Took something old and create something different with it. I doubt Ben E. King is rolling in his grave, and I didn't hear Sting and Haddaway complaining either.
I'm in two minds about this, I like what Dove have done with it, but it's a little tainted by the female vocals, they sound like they've been quite seriously auto-tuned.
This is cringe-worthy. A God-awful butchering of a brilliant song. It's actually physically uncomfortable to listen to it - I've got as far as the organ solo and my my is really to explode. Terrible, terrible, terrible.
@MrDaveLoCo Hey, thanks for taking the time to comment, Dave. Neil Finn loves this version and he has immense taste (and talent)! Some people on here need to be educated!
@RUSH731000 And all over a song?? That Neil Fin actually loves? The only people to use terms like "Douche Bags" are usually people who are perfectly described by the term! Try and find some friends and develop some outside interests!
Ive looked for this song for ages and never found it til nw. Think it got to number 2 in Ireland? And i saw them in panto all those yrs ago (as themselves performing). Havent heard it in ten yrs and nt disappointed! cheers
@JohnKillrory Er... except Neil really loves this version!! If you don'yt like rap, fair enough. But Crowded House recognise good music from wherever it comes from.
@paddle9 My boy friend loves it.I Myself Prefer the Girl Singing The chorus.She does a great job.Then again The boy friend looks kinda like the fellow on it.
This is like a remix cover, and it's really interesting!
I like how they kept the same concept with the inspiring lyrics and made it their own style. I also love the woman's accent when she sings, so beautiful :)
This is the only hip hop/rap I like because it actually serves a purpose and isn't just noise. I'll definitely have to share this with friends and family now. Thanks for posting! :D
"american black music" não está entre minhas preferências, mas a batida dessa versão desse clássico dos 80's me agradou deveras. Surpreendi-me inclusive classificando-a no código "+10X"!
I have tried for WEEKS to find this rendition of DDIO by Dove, but I can't find it. I can't even find Dove on iTunes period. Are they really not on iTunes, or am I just not looking in the right places on the iTunes store???
they just used the name and some of the lines of the song, including the hook to hawk this shitty version. The chick can't really sing so she uses the r&b trick, and the rap verses are worse than WIll smith
I personally liked this "cover". It is hard to find covers of songs that are impossible to cover because the original song and sound is sssooo unique. I liked this because they added their own twist to a classic and one hell of a song. :D
Love this interpretation of the song,had the cd single when it was released,but I never saw the video until now.Thanks so much for posting it,great version..
Honestly, I love Crowded House, I was a big fan since their "Split Ends" days. I'm not too thrilled with this version. I think Six Pence None the Richer did a wayyyy wayyy better job with not butchering this song.
However, the girl's voice is very nice but her eyebrows are bugging the hell out of me!
It's not a cover. Like most hip-hop/rap style songs, it takes a great song and does something different with it. Heard Paul Young's cover? It isn't good... ;-)
Absolutely butchered this song. Real talent write there own new material, this is the quick talentless way out, to butcher someone else's song as a cover ;-(
Besides the grammar issue (which is just childish to point out btw) i realize this is not a straight cover, that makes it even more talentless in my book. if you are going to cover a song, then cover a song. But don't mutate the thing.
What this song is, as i said in my previous post, is a butcher job. If it were a straight cover of the song it would be just that, a cover. The artist here butchered the song up so it could now even be classifies under a different genre for heavens sake.
@whynot: I stumbled upon this video and decided to play it as I rememeber it when I was a kid. You must be a Crowded House fan then? Well even when I was young and heard this song I thought the track a well over played as a song in general. Butchered is a bit harsh. They did their own take on the track. I suppose you like covers to be the exact same as the original. No? Oh you said real talent come from those who write their own material. I suppose Hendrix butchered All Along the Watchtower?
Yes, of course im a crowded house fan, but that's pretty much irrelevant here. Butchered a bit harsh?....I definitely don't think so. Do i like covers to be the exact same as the original?...No, of course not, but for it to be a cover and be released under the same song title, it should at least resemble it's former self, with the exception of the chick saying "hey now" over and over again, there is really nothing left to remind the listener of it's former self.
The way that i see this is a band that is just too lazy to think of there own music. It's very simple to toss some lyrics onto an already tried and true track and get positive feedback on it.
It should have either been produced under a different title (because it is not a cover) or as a cover should have stuck more to it's original being.
I just think it's absolute rubbish, but again, thats JMHO.....
Man this song reminds me a being around 13-14 n headin up ta these chicks up in raheny we were meetin an playin pitch n putt in st.Annes haha,ALWAYS makes me smile no matter how shite im feelin!
I put blow your mind up. Would love to have met the band - wonder what thy are doing now (apart from Hazel - with the Lyrics game and all that!). You're lucky.
The band were Graham Cruz, Done Ade and Hazel Kaneswaran. Kaneswaran was chosen for Girls Aloud but was 10 days over the limit. Born to a Singaporean-Indian father and Irish red-headed and freckled mother, Hazel was brought up in the working class area of Blanchardstown in Dublin, Ireland. As another Asian girl was rejected at this stage, Girls Aloud ended up as an all-white group. Make of that what you will, with recent unsavoury news articles in mind.
dont mean to be a pest, but when u say Hazel was picked for Girls Aloud and rejected.... remind me, as its wreckin my head... did she not choose to leave at bootcamp or whatever it was called then, because she was pregnant??? were they not going to allow her to stay on despite age, but she was going to be due durin live shows, so she pulled out to give someone else a chance??? do i remember that right ????
Mate can you please please please upload this as a torrent to piratebay or isohunt...Had teh original cd years ago but lost it and have been scouring torrents for this for ages with no luck.
Thanks 4 your comment. I have it on CD - the same CD this video was taken from. It was another great track... Can we upload audio tracks on here (without having to do a montage)?

Please also do your research - Neil Finn loves this version.
Now - it isn't, by definition, a cover. It takes the basic song and does something different with it.
And, if you look elsewhere, they wrote their own song - Blow Your Mind.
The best and most original artists have done great covers - there is no shame in it.
