  • i feel the love :P

    grtz brush

  • I love Paul Simon and Vampire Weekend, LOVE THIS SONG!

  • This is incredible.

  • This is FANTASTIC!! not a big fan on 1:17 where paul simon is still in the background but that just so that you can keep hold of simons riff i assume, but I think i will be ripping this to my ipod!

  • AMAZING! You should mix more of their songs! Paul Simon sounds like a chipmunk at first lol

  • Comment removed

  • I still don't quite get them, they suck at singing!!

  • @jabrother Respectful of your opinion, I would be curious to know a few singers (or their bands) that you would consider to be great! FYI I think that a portion of the Paul Simon vocals was electronically transposed to match the key, I am sure he is not normally that high pitched :p

  • haha awesome. Now someone should just do this with Blake's Got A New Face and Paul McCartney's Christmas song. I swear those two are the same.

  • Good ear. They have such similar and complimentary sounds, love it.

  • Massive key change at 1:25 - Interesting!

    Not normally a fan of "reworks" like this, but it's quite refreshing.

  • Zero dislikes. Represent.

  • What's up with the hate for Vampire Weekend? They're not hacks, they're just a band that was influenced by Paul Simon, like all bands have influences. Paul Simon is one of the great musicians of the past 50 years, but there's no reason these two can't coexist.

  • Ezra Garfunkel?

  • god i like the original a lot better!! also i can understand paul's lyrics, i can rarely understand what the hell vampire weekend is singing about.

  • What a great collaboration and tour this would make. Thanks for this.

  • Wow. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! AND YOU DID IT! OK! OK! Thank you gorillathrillers, and the internet. And Youtube. And the academy.

  • wow nicely done this is amazing

  • This makes me happy.

  • Both had the same influences. Both are great. Their influences are greater!

  • somebody could walk into this room and say your life is on fire. It's all over the evening news.

  • thank you for spreading the truth about these hacks, it's disgusting that they can make money off someone elses song

  • I don't know how I haven't seen this video yet; I've been making this comparison for almost a year! Nice job.

  • I am kinda in love with both of these songs, and you have made me SO happy!

  • pretty fuckin sick. i wonder who vw listened to growing up?

  • :O

  • Paul Simon's voice is too quiet.

  • <3

  • Love how VW claims they didn't rip off Graceland. Whatevs..

  • @avesane exactly!!! it's outrageous what a bunch of hacks

  • Wow. Not bad at all. I love Paul's music and was very scared when I first saw this. It worked out nice.

  • the paul simon bar is very high. but you hit it !

  • LOVE this. very well done, thanks for sharing it

  • Perfect! Crazy Love Vol II was my exact first thought when I cracked open White Sky last night! I had to google it to see if anyone else heard it, and here you are...

  • Lovely, what a treat!

  • Thank you! I enjoyed this so much!

    AGAIN, AGAIN!!

  • Lol... I don't know why everyone thinks they're so simlar... at any rate - well done video. :)

  • Is this a new Paul Simon song? I never heard of it. Vampires?
