The Venus In Furs - 2HB (Roxy Music Cover - Vocal By Thom Yorke) [1998]

[JohnnyLovelyMusicVid]

I hate Thom Yorke's singing. He ALWAYS whines. that's the main reason i can't stand radiohead. on the other hand, roxy music is my favourite band, so you can see how this is insulting to me.

[Petisco1111]

fabuloso...

[mayclark]

I hate bernard buttler, but I almost like him everytime I think he was behiend this song.... thom yorke... as amazing as always!!!

[ThePabloemery]

this is so gorgeous

[jirdimaster]

This shows Thom's versatility, i thought for sure it wasn't him until he hit a certain note.

[franciscoarqui]

la gente debería escuchar esto

[spiros11386]

2hb= To Humphrey Bogart.... song is all about Casablanca, really beautiful

[amishnation]

I dedicate this song to every true friend I've had in my life!

[LmnMrnG]

Huge Radiohead fan, Huge Velvet Goldmine fan, and it took me 10 years to figure out that it was Thom Yorke singing these covers! haha

[Czotie]

Dude, learn to upload good quality stuff man, how can you listen to this!?

[sm0kindatg00d]

[fladgyglitz]

The secret weapon = Paul Kimble.

[amishnation]

This rules.

[goodtimesforachange]

Haha! Thom yorke is such a shit singer it's hilarious. I now know why he sticks with his moaning singing.

[BunnyLynnBoofay]

So amazing... What else is there to say....

[JackM2409]

@marymolon43 its on you tube

[LPValentine20]

I can barely define Thom's vocals!It is so changed!)))

[TroyaE117]

Not bad drumming.

Good stuff at 2.29 or thereabouts.

[deliry]

実はオリジナルより、こっちのほうが好き、だなあ…

[zardozreed]

Who's the drummer? Very tasty work. Thom Yorke did a great job on the vocal but prefer Bryan Ferry's - i watched the flick when it came out and again a few days ago - cant get this song out of my head. Velvet Goldmine !! Any film about Bowie and Lou Reed needs to be seen.

[2HB2HB]

Thanks Vagina (that sounds so bad)

[2HB2HB]

Thom Yorke from Radiohead? It's good.

[VaginaWash4u]

@2HB2HB love your screen name :)

[coralaisly]

this movie has such great music...

[Juanito8290]

damn what a sad song ;-;

[Narcissiaxx]

I think this one was used once in the movie, but yeah, the one at the tribute scene is sadly not on the album :(

[cynthiailly]

i'm a big radiohead/thom yorke fan and i'm surprised by this recording, it sounds nothing like him!

[toddgoodfellow]

beautiful song!

[rchlboyd]

thanks for posting this

[ByronVortex]

As a Roxy fan who has been there since the off(hey , try carryin the first album through the school yard amidst the Zep and Purple heads) this is indeed a marvellous piece of work...no stupid comments of what or who is "better".Mr Yorke does a truly great interpretation....

[vanityvehicle]

With you MrJoshua ... I think it's the drumming, there's a couple of extra snaredrum hits in this version that make the rhythm much more driving. Having a slow melody over a quite fast rhythm like that just does something for me - like 'Unfinished Sympathy'...

[coconutman1987]

one of the most versatile singers

[nitjifor]

imho it does sound like Thom Yorke but as if he had caught a cold. nevertheless, a wonderful song. thanks for posting.

peace and love

[anorexicbuddha]

this cannot be thom yorke

[BitterrPill]

Most definitely Thom Yorke singing. Amazing, eh?

[chrismitch34]

@BitterrPill brian ferry not thom

[BitterrPill]

@chrismitch34 This is a cover, undeniably with Thom Yorke on vocals. Please don't create confusion.

[chrismitch34]

@BitterrPill my bad

[acrobat741]

It is. Amazing singing too.

[anorexicbuddha]

@anorexicbuddha ha now i hear it again and definitely see that it is him

[simoamendola]

ti amo sempre

[jserdarevic]

I know that this version was credited to Venus In Furs but I have a sneaking suspicion that it was labelled wrong. The guy sounds like the singer from Shudder to Think. I really don't think that's Thom Yorke...I could be wrong but it sounds way too much like Nathan Larsson...

[fuckedradiosbashka]

really. its thom.

:))

[kittycat27]

REALY IS THOM YORKE????

[MrJoshua2020]

I know I'll probably be lynched for this but I enjoy this version in a lot of ways more than the original. Musically the first one by a landslide, however vocally Thom Yorke has what this song needs. PS. I hate Thom Yorke.

[govpavlicek]

well, he even sounds a bitlike Bryan Ferry. Usually I think it is ferry/Roxy Music who knows how to cover things, but in this case Thom Yorke actually made the cover sound better...

[jum1801]

I'm with you. And, yes, I have to roll my eyes at the Thom-Yorke-is-john-Lennon crapola too.

[losghost]

@jum1801

I have a sneaking suspicion that Thom would roll his eyes as well.

[ErinGreywolf]

I know what you mean. I love the original, but after I heard this I keep having to pull it up on youtube and listen to it instead. I might have to buy the soundtrack now!

[crystallove18]

@MrJoshua2020 lol

[chiphead777]

@MrJoshua2020 by hating Thom Yorke you miss out on 4 of the best albums ever made, OK Computer, The Bends, Kid A and In Rainbows

[sizyx]

ah thom yorke i've always loved you but you can't make it as bryan ferry ! but that's a good version.

[charisfulone]

I still like Roxy's version better by a long shot. The drums in Roxy's are better as well one of the best drum tracks I ever heard in song.

[Indielbloodsear]

I like the movie version better but can't find it anywhere :(

[Orsojka]

Movie version? Is that different?

[zimzum5]

Yeah, The movie has two versions of this song, one is singed by Brian Slade and the other version is singed at the end, by Jack Fairy. The first version is this, where thom yorke is the singer, and the other is singed by anyone else...

[Indielbloodsear]

I love the jack fairy version :(

[19galliano65]

BRIAN Slade + Jack FAIRY = Bryan Ferry???

[covitamarie]

@Orsojka In the first appearance of the song, when Brian is singing, he says "take two people romancing" but toward the end of the movie, the song is sung again at a tribute, and it says "take two people, romantic" as does the original Roxy Music version.

[jessihugh]

@Orsojka In the movie it's sung by the Jack Fairy Character. Its more of a soft, breathy version.

[ironbuttermilk]

@jessihugh There's 2 versions in the film, one by 'Jack' the other, earlier one by 'Brian'. Seems like they re-recorded the vocals for the whole damn 'soundtrack' album. . . . which sucks I think, and is confusing.

[ScooterGirl9988]

@Orsojka This version is more like the original Roxy Music, while the one used in the movie was closer to Bryan Ferry's solo rendition. I think it was done on purpose so people would think that is WAS Bryan Ferry singing. Alas, it wasn't.

[mdarque100]

@ScooterGirl9988 regarding original 2hb or velvet goldmines version youtube or film... this is the version from the sountrack for the film. and i swear from the film as well. if it is not the same in the film (which i swear it was) it might have been directors choice to pretend it was the actor doing the live song.if i recall in the time frame of this song its a montage of his rise to success, quick edits and random mock video shoots... so maybe the film version is just edited different

[roflpantsmaster64]

@Orsojka wow youve obviously never heard roxy music

[spiros11386]

@Orsojka I'm not really sure, but I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers sings it in the movie.... could be wrong though, don't kill me

[Sm0k4bl3]

@Indielbloodsear isn't this the movie one?:p

[Indielbloodsear]

@Sm0k4bl3 xD haha I definitely meant the version at the end of the movie

[Sm0k4bl3]

@Indielbloodsear Yeah your right, when that Jack Fairy starts singing i just noticed it.

[swccmty]

@Indielbloodsear I have the movie versions... but was simply taken form movie directly..... yes... movie´s version is better....

[napoholic]

Thanks for uploading this!! VG was the first time I heard this song and I love this version so much!
