  • ¡ Great job !

  • Takamine pride!

  • Hey man, great job! Where abouts can i find some chords for this song?? Cheers from canada

  • Michael.J.Fox in his free time.

  • nice voice man check out mine...

  • mike masse and jeff hall smash this cover

  • Comment removed

  • Nice cover pure voice...check ours !

  • @Pulserythm hi just heard your track the quality was excellent, check out mine if you want mydtrtv mat burke dont count the rainy days

  • Awesome cover of this song, dude! Are you playing it half-step down or something?

  • this is just beautiful...

  • Dropping this to F would probably be perfect for you instead of starting in A. I had a problem with King of pain by the police until I heard Alanis Morisette do a cover of it and she dropped the song 3 notes. Finally I was able to sing it without going too deep or too high. I know you probably want to stay true to the original key but remember, the musicians can change to suit the singer a lot easier than vice versa. your voice is spot on by the way. If anyone ever says otherwise... jealousy lol

  • red face at chorus...awesome...nice cover

  • Really good! i mean it :)

  • could you send me the tabs?

  • Pop

  • amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing cover.... good guitar style + good voice = awesome cover!!! congratulations man!

  • I bless the rain down in Africa!

  • the high notes are to high for most singers i know....:-) me including...i tried to cut my nuts off...but.....

  • You look like Michael J. Fox

  • awesome buds ... do you play it in half step tuning ?

  • woow, very good!!

    you´ve got a really good voice man! soft but still powerful and just beautiful!

  • Great job. What key did you sing it in? The chorus is indeed ball-busting. Harmony helps even it out a bit, but it's a stretch for any performer. What note do you top out at in this song?

  • I like it better when the whole doo doo doo doo doo doo doo bahh thing is sung like in choirs

  • Nice job. !

  • amazing eighties cover!

  • Damn. This is rad! I think you killed it! Nice job

  • holy shit... meeegashie is right...you do have a beautiful voice! ;)

  • Andy McKee does a greta instrumental cover of this song. If you haven't heard it I would strongly suggest looking it up on YouTube, I think you'd really like it.

  • If you are singing right on the limit, like the chorus in that song, shut eyes, it looks better...

    I don´t agree the oppinion that it is too high for you, but realize, that it is your highest tone and you can perform it thou as well....

  • I don't like the original too much, but your acoustic cover the best I heard ever - great voice and guitar playing

    Greetings from Germany

  • @apolitz1 .. i agree .. ur voice and singing skill better suites the lyrics.. but totos good too

  • I don't like the original too much, but your acoustic cover the best I heard ever - great

  • Really amazing!! Love it!!

  • as long as your enjoying who cares

  • great cover, added to my favorites. This is possibly my favorite cover ive been able to find. You have a fine voice sir, dont let the high note comments bother you.

  • As my four year old would say...."my bad". But anyways...good job man. Keep on rockin.

  • Dude....we can see your mom in the background !

  • @mdscbo dude.... thats my missus in the background :/

  • @mdscbo

    hahahahahahaha :'D

  • @mdscbo fail mdscbo...^^ FAIL

  • good job

  • géniale ... vrément je vois pas comment on peut critiqué un tel talent ! super cout de gratte :p

  • The beginning is in 4/4, not 7/4 !!!!

  • Hi Clint it's Jennie, remember me? This is still my favourite cover of yours, just gorgeous.

  • WOW WOW WOW Nice Cover!

  • nice really liked the harmony on the chorus and i don't know who the idiot is that said it was too high for you but there wrong

  • I think you did a great job!

  • Not F#. I meant D, haha

  • Your guitar must be tuned to like, F# standard or something, haha

  • i don't know why that guy has a problem with your chorus, i reckon you did it swell! love this song

  • NIce job

  • I find that singing is easier when you stand up.

  • sounds good great job, you actually have a very good voice ( don´t worry i´me a married man )

  • good job man, who ran the second voice? was very good, congratulations =]

  • splendid job!!! :) 

  • bravo!

  • Tell your wife to do those clothes by the washer, stop sitting around! lol Good work on the song!

  • What tuning did you use? Message me! I'd love to know!

  • Nice cover ! One of the best for this song !

    How can we download this cover (mp3) ?

  • Good effort! Like the funny faces on the high notes. :)

  • Pretty good (high notes too). :)

  • haha love your face when you´re singing the high notes

  • The high notes are way too high for you. You started off nicely, but the chorus is just not suited for you.

  • @JoshaHoudt ahh well im not getting paid for it and if a few peeps like it then thats good for me :) although I do agree with you don't look to much into it my friend, its just music and take it light heartedly

    surely the high notes are worth it for the silly expressions on my face eh ;)

  • @babs2002ukus

    well done dude. love this song, and FYI Its your version i repeatdly play in youtube, not Africas.

    Ignore, JoshaHoudt. talks nonesense :-)

  • @babs2002ukus dude idk what joshhoudts voice is like but i have ZERO vocal skills and would KILL for even just yours. i thought it was a very well done cover.

  • @babs2002ukus I think you did very fine on the chorus. As the notes are at the high end of your scale, they weren't over it, though. Good job! You got a great voice, dude!

  • @babs2002ukus sounds great, idk what this guy was talking about

  • @babs2002ukus dude you did fine on the high notes. you were on pitch and everything. obviously you're not gonna belt out that G, but you hit it fine, and the harmony sounded nice. don't worry about that kid.

  • @babs2002ukus dude you did fine on the high notes. you were on pitch and everything. obviously you're not gonna belt out that G, but you hit it fine, and the harmony sounded nice. don't worry about that kid.

  • @babs2002ukus

    haha:D

  • @babs2002ukus

    thats the meaning I think

    play music with your heart, not for money

  • @JoshaHoudt whachu talkin bout willis? he sounds great!!!

  • @JoshaHoudt I don't hear how the chorus should not be suited. I think it feels really right (and good).

  • @JoshaHoudt i don't think he did a bad job on the chorus at all. It was pretty close, but its his own style i liked it

  • @JoshaHoudt

    No you are wrong. He may make silly expressions but his voice is fine, he is neither flat or sharp and it is indeed high but he manages pretty well.

  • @JoshaHoudt it's not his fault he has a deep voice -.-" stfu and listen to this beautiful cover u fag! this guy rocks

  • @Aleksand89 , oh right. I cannot criticise people if it's not their fault they're not good at something. How foolish of me! Tell me though, are mistakes ever one's own fault? Nobody WANTS to do something wrong... 8-)

    Oh, and also: Dude, you 21, judging by your nickname. Don't you think the days of calling people names, also on the internet, should be behind you by now?

  • @JoshaHoudt well i'd say everything in your face but i couldn't, anyways didn't meant anything bad, just that i know what's it's like not being able to hit high notes, i have a fucking deep voice too, just listen to this guy :D

  • @JoshaHoudt Actually disagree, I thought they sounded pretty nice. Brave as well to attempt them

  • @JoshaHoudt I have to disagree, no offense. He can handle the high notes. He just didn't put enough heart into it. He just needed to open up a bit more and really belt out that chorus!!

  • @JoshaHoudt This chorus is not meant to be sung without massive autotune. Watch Africa live and you'll see that they can't sing the chorus either.

  • Great cover....helped me learn it by watching you.....Thanks.

  • Great cover....helped me learn it by watching you.....Thanks

  • super

  • nice cover :)

  • Great cover and the chorus is difficult to sing but you did a great job

  • LOVE....love....your VOICE

  • nice cover

  • reverb much? or did you double over your voice or something?

  • Good effort, it's hard to reach the high notes in the original key, unless you or a beautiful lady dips her hands in a bucket of ice and squeezes your scrotum. That's the only way I could possibly sing the high notes.

  • no question...you have a beautiful voice.

    Great job!

  • I love your sound man. Very talented. Can you tell me what series that axe is your playing. Also, how about your system. What do you have there? Mic...Beta or Sure? Mixer? Speakers/Amps? Thanks!

  • Thank you, Sir. I really enjoyed this cover. Sometimes I like to hear a quieter version of a popular song. That way, you can really feel what the song is trying to say! Good job.

  • Elle est accordé comment cette guitare?!

  • awsome job i love that song OUTSTANDING

  • Amazing cover of one of my favorite old songs.

    You have a beautiful voice with great tone and depth.

    You look a bit like Michael J. Fox, too, which I'm sure you've probably heard many times before.

  • Fantastic.

  • That was pretty awesome (:

  • wonderful !

  • Que bueno.. Te felicito.. Realmente muy bueno..

  • Wow. Awesome job mate. Addittional voice overs were pretty pimp too =) *reaches for the Washburn Dreadnought...*

  • not bad; good techno mixing with your voice and stuff. good cover to a hard song to sing.

  • Could you please upload tabs??

  • Hi Clint,

    Jimmy here from NY. Great chord changes. Low vocal range for you. Maybe use a capo? Keep playing!! Too bad your so far away. We could jam. Peace. Jimmy

  • im not really a fan of this song but i like the way you did it man! That was pretty awesome!

  • When i was looking to you face i though "his voice maybe it will be weak"

    But when you start to sing it goes like wow.

    Nice voice you got there man! Keep rocking :)

  • what chords are you using for the chorus?

  • @bantryrocks Em, C, G, D

  • @babs2002ukus yeah those are the chords i use. im working on a cover for this song - should have it up in a few days.

  • @babs2002ukus how about the barre chord? good work btw!

  • OMG!! MICHAEL J. FOX?? i love back to future!!! (y) i didn't read the comments, but i'm sure, that someone else did this joke before...i know :P by the way, nice cover man!!!....now the power of lovee!! yeeah!!

  • OMG!! MICHAEL J. FOX?? i love back to future!!! (y)

  • Great cover man. I like it!

  • Your wife? Maybe it's the high camera angle that makes you look tiny and younger. I honestly though it was your mum. But anyway that's irrelevant. Great cover dude. I loved it. Ignore that other douche as well. habsman1.

  • like the rendition and the vocals were sharp. great job on a difficult song. rock on dude!

  • J'adore! =)

  • Love how your mum (?) is just chilling in the background with a cup of tea! Good job on the cover!

  • @doncasterroversfc hehe its my wife :) and thanks matey

    -Clint

  • @babs2002ukus You look so young; I thought it was your mum too

  • Comment removed

  • Best cover I've seen around, great job! :)

  • Honestly, I wasn't expecting a good cover bt it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... Good job

  • is this really your voice? is it really you singing?

    if it is, you are Fantastic!

    but, who is singing your background?

  • I feel this is what the song would've sounded like if Toto was irish

  • @habsman1 wow your special aren't you..... the other childish comments on the other videos are deleted and your blocked... move on prat

    -Clint

  • @babs2002ukus Forget about habsman1..

    He's just jealous he can't play the guitar like you.. :D

  • I think you look like a young David Bowie! Keep rockin and great cover. I was wondering how this song could be performed on just an acoustic and you nailed it!

  • @habsman1 are you sure you're not waiting to graduate? Have a think before you comment because that was uncalled for.

  • @habsman1 Normally Id find remarks like that funny..

    But this guy is actually really good haha

  • @habsman1 Are 'you' in a special class, You express your opinion like some grammatical failure that some retarded ppl in those school for hopeless persons exhibit. Pls try to read out aloud what you have asked above and then go home and sleep because, you fail.

  • I LOVE IT!!!!!! You are so amazing!!!

  • Who the heck is singing back up? Is it the lady in the back with the blue sweater?

  • @fret2424 it is overdubs that i did afterwards you hear my friend

  • I guess your playing to a pre recorded track, How else could you get the vocal harmony part on the chorus? Any way nice rendition - good job - you make it look easy.

  • @RadarELTee nope i recorded the harmonies 'after' the main track was recorded :)

    and thank you for the props :)

    -Clint

  • Ball busting indeed, great cover!

  • One of the best songs. Ever. EVER.

  • good going cliterus
