After watching all of your videos with my housemates one day, I come back every few days or so just to watch this one. Pretty awesome one-man-band you've got going, it's amazing how much depth a melodica can add to a song.
Amazing rendition!! this is my favouirite all time song. i learnt it on piano (see my vids). Madness would be proud. have you done any more of their songs like this? :o)
Hi Betokan. I recorded the sound for each instrument separately using a condenser mic, then mixed those tracks down using Audacity (free program), then used that track as the main track on the video to which I sync'd the video clips to. None of the audio from the video camera is used, other than to help me sync the parts. Does that explain it?
Has anyone ever told you about GUGUG's videos? I mean, how many dudes can there be who play trad ska standards on melodica, uke, bass, and a few other instruments and film themselves doing it all? Well done, by the way, and sorry about the comparison
sweet, i love melodicas they are so addicting, i swear all my friends tell me not to play anymore and then i give mine to them and they play all day everyday
good, i like, i enjoy, i'm crazy about you cover ;)

takes a lot of breathing I guess
