These people who are saying shit about Daniel are stupid. Just because this isn't that auto-tuned Ke$ha shit, doesn't mean it isn't good. Daniel Johnston has been doing this for years. Mad props.
Can I just begin by saying I am the biggest Beatle/Lennon nerd. Like. I have a Lennon tattoo. Yet this cover, to me, is beautiful. Music is 50% sound 50% emotion. And HOLY SMOKES Daniel Johnston revs that emotion up so much. I love him <3 Well done DJ
Damn, he is so out of tune. I don't care who he was, whatever he was he is not anymore, with that voice, no way. If he is old or ill, he shouldn't show up singing like this wtf. Some ppl just don't wanna quit singing in time. He could keep writing/composing...but singing? No....unless the audience is deaf!
hah yea i know how he sounds...BUt thats like part of it...You should check out the documentary made about him called The Devil and Daniel Johnston...HEs manic Depressive and like some of the songs he wrote were just like very weird but great songs....So hes like this famous underground obscure songwriter..And hes also an incredible artist google some of his drawings very cool...
everyone who says shit about this guy are so stupid. He is a legend. His lyrics, drawings, and his background is amazing. Maybe you should find out who he is before you talk crap about him.
@ninguemvj can you tell me who he is? why is everyone praising him as a musical genius...i'm sorry i seriously find nothing special about his voice...?
@ForzaAquila Hi there friend. It´s not just about his voice/music. His whole history is an amazing tale of weird stuff and bad decisions. And he never gave up. I don´t know, you might still not like the music or Daniel for that matter but check out "The Devil and Daniel Johnston" (a documentary) and you can see who he is and part of what he´s been through and how he got what he wanted. I like his voice, his music and the human Daniel. He´s not an average pre-fab "star". Hope it helps. Cheers!

i've been searching info about this guy, and... i don't understand his "art", so i guess it has to be little funny or "art funny" lol!! I give you everything i've got for little peace of voice...
Alright, here's my opinion, and I know I'm gonna get it from hardcore Daniel Johnston fans out there, but I don't think that the guy is that talented. I mean from a music theory and musicianship standpoint, I just can't get into his music. I wish him all the good fortune in the world. But I just don't get what's so special about him.
Mike, I think before we start getting into this it would help to know what music you're into. You mention "music theory". Are you a Frank Zappa guy? Phish? What's up? If you hear enough of his material in the right mood, you should be able to draw a parallel from his tunes to some of Lennon's, McCartney's, assuming you're into the Beatles. Have you seen the documentary on Daniel's life? That might help you get into his stuff as well.
I've seen "The Devil & Daniel Johnston", and personally I think that he should've signed with Elektra, and stop drinking so much fucking Mountain Dew. And yeah, I do sorta kinda like Zappa and Phish, but my favorite groups are Pink Floyd, The Grateful Dead, and of course The Beatles. I dunno, with Daniel's stuff, it sounds amateur-ish to me. Like right here, he's trying to sing "I'm So Tired", and he's not on key most of the time. I guess I'm just too analytical about music.
I certainly do recognize if music has feeling and emotion. Of course I can tell that Daniel's music is way more interesting that anything put out by evil corporations (I just wanna say right here, FUCK HANNAH MONTANA!!!!). I'm just saying that I have my list of preferences and Daniel Johnston unfortunately isn't on that list. That's all.
i dont think it's so much about his actually technical musical talent per se (like singing in key for example) but more about his songwriting skills and the personal aspect of his music... i mean, he's certainly not for everyone but one has to at least appreciate what he does
this is Daniel Johnston doing the cover if you know anything about music you will know that he is amazin maybe not the greatest sing but he has wrote some great songs, no your music before u comment on it.

che majo, creo que no tenés la más mínima idea sobre dan johnston. no es todo afinar o no afinar en arte, especialmente cuandoe stamos hablando de genios.
CHE, qué buena banda! IM GLAD THAT HE´S PLAYING WITH SUCH GREAT BAND! CONGRATS, THATS SO GOOD NEWS.
Actually (and I could be wrong, so sorry if I am), I heard that Daniel's been losing his teeth over time, and that could lead to a newly developed lisp. Or it's been there since forever, like kieran514 said. Like Isaac Brock's. Fuck, lispy singers are so awesome!
