I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire - The Ink Spots Cover

[CaliberStone]

@joelcathey Dude! You're so good! You should keep up with these old-time songs, they really seem to suit you!!!

[rested009]

30 people couldn't start the fire

[bilili2]

You got talent, that's a fact, but I think your cover is too clean, too pop.

[tsutsukai]

I love your version. I love it so much, this video is what I see in my head every time the song plays during the game. Especially Mark with the teddy bear. But seriously, this is amazing.

[LiamAWade]

This is cute and jerky (in a good way)

[Shadowboy4011]

Who the hell can dislike THIS video!? OMG H8 you dislikers! :O

[chrisdeli7158]

wth 28 dislikes. amazing voice and choice of instruments, for real. its an amzing cover. no reason to dislike!!!!!

[wyldecut]

Awesome.

[feishey]

[machina12345]

[thesexysithguy]

OMG!!! FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!

[xOmGxitsxchris]

It was okay, just hoping for a bass tone.

[FFAxFeared]

You have an amazing voice ^.^ Ily Joel! ;)

[Younoobl0l]

@joelcathey I'm sorry to inform you once you respond to a troll they win because they got the attention they wanted p.s. good cover dude

[joelcathey]

@Younoobl0l Well, troll or no troll, I was actually perplexed by his comment. I truly didn't know what his intention was. Half of it was a compliment and the other half was just confusing. If that means he "wins," then so be it, I guess. Haha.

But thanks for YOUR comment. It is very clear and I appreciate it. :)

[abbottjacob]

I HATE THINGS

[SpanielDayLewis]

As great as you are as singing you might as well have just recorded yourself jizzing for 3 minutes.

[joelcathey]

@SpanielDayLewis I don't know if your intention was to compliment me, insult me, or give me constructive criticism... but you've failed on all accounts. I've never been so confused by a comment before. Hahaha

[AyeTreyDay]

@SpanielDayLewis har har har

[ManifestNightmare]

. . . .holy shit that was different. And totally freakin' awesome! Three Dog would name you the last, best hope for humanity.

[joelcathey]

@ManifestNightmare Thanks! 

[titanium53]

Elevator music version. :')

[Itynak]

[JoeLukeWalsh]

Link to Uke tab PLEASE!!!! XD

[NishisLP]

The Ink. Spot would be proud of you :D

[CrysisNerd]

By fuck you destroyed that song....

[MrCorndogEater]

Bravo

[MrCorndogEater]

Amazing cover

[MrCorndogEater]

This is proof that good songs never die, only technology advances

Behind that grainy sound there's an amazing song

[ScreamOnScreen]

I want to get in a boat on a sunny day and go down a stream listening to this.

[ake000]

I love this and i come back to watch this everyday

[wudsztokk]

And I just love you guys! Realized that its easier to learn for exams with your music! :)

[ANDYGLOV3R]

was thinking about this video today, had to come back and watch it again! great work Joel!

[m2tt7]

if " The Ink Spots "  can saw this video , im sure they would be happy :)

[XSLASH562]

Good job

[gamerlehu1238]

wtf this is the gayest cover ever the original still rocks.

[HDnoober]

Nnnnnyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaadon't wanna set the world on fire.

[goliathprime]

That lumberjack guy who keeps going on about starting fires is hilarious.

[deansusername]

How do you not have more views for this!? D: This is utterly mind-blowing D: Great job!

[MissMandaAU]

golly I love this so much! :)

great version of a favourite song! I particularly like all those versions of the talking bridge at the end! so many laughs.

[ROFLkopterFilmsLtd]

Sounds almost as if you wrote it yourself. I'm very impressed.

I agree with KimbaSahary. Good luck, I suppose.

Your Respectful and Obedient Servant,

-G. Josef Armstrong

[niceshotjones]

i like it but i like the grainy sound of the original

[joelcathey]

@niceshotjones Thank you! Next time, I will ignore 70 years of advancements in recording technology. ;) Actually, if you download "Civilization" on joelcathey [dot] com, you get a bonus version that is grainy. No joke.

[omganotherun]

Classy. Very classy.

[virtualpigmaster]

awesome!

[TheMindMaster6]

I wasn't a huge fan of this song of this song at first but as I kept listening it started growing on me.

[Dentarthurdent54]

You need to do "Anything Goes"!!! :D

[rockymark9]

OMG thats fantastic Brilliant

[eltigredor]

You are amazing, my friend.

[joelcathey]

@eltigredor Thank you!

[Galadoor]

i dont see how people can argue on a video like this.your voice is so calming.and your friend reminds me of john cleese.have you done the third fallout cover yet ?

[joelcathey]

@Galadoor Thanks! Yes, the third Fallout cover is "Easy Living" by Billie Holiday.

[MechanicalGeneration]

Lovely composition. Sweet take on it. Like the video presentation. Gotta say though, I do love the voice quavering in the original. Part of the charm, I find. Impressive singing voice. Can't quite reach the top note though, I noticed. Just at the point where you're switching between falsetto and chest?

[joelcathey]

@MechanicalGeneration Thank you. I will try to quaver more. I have to take issue with your last point, though. I'm not hearing what you're hearing. Could you please give me the min/sec mark where you're hearing a flat note?

[MechanicalGeneration]

@joelcathey Listening to it again, I couldn't pick it up. My mind playing tricks on me on the first take, probably. Flawless, then.

[KimbaSarahy]

you see... this is something that should be played on the radio.. i swear.. If this came up on the radio I'd be like :O <3333333333

[joelcathey]

@KimbaSarahy Hahaha.... Well, thank you!

[Philsmith133]

@KimbaSarahy Too bad it seems to be a rule that everything on mainstream radio has to get stuck in your head and annoy the crap out of you haha

[DESTIFIEDROCK]

Brings me back to the days of Fallout...=')

[Ilovetoplaytheflute]

Well, this has been my addiction for at least a week...

[joelcathey]

@Ilovetoplaytheflute Wow, that's awesome! Thanks!

[ak47popper]

shit version

[ak47popper]

@Dazzyboi16 It sounds you're the mad one, swearing and forgetting to use the grammar you learned at primary school. Run along little child. Problem?

[ak47popper]

@Dazzyboi16 What the fuck do you call Primary School? I've never heard it called anything else. Oh, what other videos like this do I go around hating? By the way, you're doing it wrong. It's 'umad'? Idiot.

[ak47popper]

@Dazzyboi16 why don't you respect the fact that subjectivity exists and that not everyone has the same tastes?

[ak47popper]

@Dazzyboi16 hahahaha fuck off. keep supporting this fat fucker if you want

[TheForeignGamer]

@ak47popper It's one thing to not like someone. It's another to flat out insult them. Fat fucker? Really? I wouldn't mind if you simply said you didn't like the way he sang or the way his voice sounds, because people have their own opinions, but you went too far. You lost your credibility.

[ak47popper]

@TheForeignGamer You are assuming I want credibility or your respect. I don't.

[watthehappawithu]

this is going in my epic music playlist

[joelcathey]

@watthehappawithu A-woo hoo!

[TheReKords1]

Wooow that's what I call truly an amazing voice, keep it up!!! What program do you use to record??

[joelcathey]

@TheReKords1 Thank you very much! I use Pro Tools. :)

[lakibug]

Uhh can I hire you for my wedding? Little brother showed me this...LOVE IT! <3

[joelcathey]

@lakibug Thanks a lot! When's the wedding?

[nayrneleh]

this is perfect

[SuperDavi5]

still not as good as the original but good anyways

[CrimsonShadow209]

@SuperDavi5 its better!

[117halo117master117]

Original is A LOT better.

[kyleangus]

@117halo117master117

If they showed the original, it wouldn't be a cover, would it?

[117halo117master117]

@kyleangus They did not make. Therefore its a cover.

[kyleangus]

@117halo117master117 That's what I just said.

[Dazzyboi16]

PLEASE SHOW ME THE CHORDS FOR THIS ON THE UKE I WANT TO SING THIS TO MY GIRLFRIEND PLEASE!!!

[Ruenne]

[Fallout3dog4001]

this song is great till 1:15

[kotoSTOMP]

Where did you go? :3

[joelcathey]

@kotoSTOMP Don't fret!

[Nikoman3139]

xD what an interesting take on the song! love it.

[canucmesucker]

you guys are fucking good,m why the fuck aren't you guys popular? That bastard KurtHugoSchneider or Yourfavoritemartian should go suck ass!!!!!

[joelcathey]

@canucmesucker Thank you. I'm not familiar with either of those channels, but yes... let the sucking begin!

[canucmesucker]

@joelcathey they're secondary channels that make music, made by those whose primary channels are in the top 100 subscribed

[CptSpiffyPanda]

i don't want to set the world on fire. I don't have enough matches.

*opens mail* Congrats sir or madam; you have won a life time supply of matches.

Well better get started.

[KlumzyThePunk]

Talk about a shitty pop cover.

[HandsomeHorribles]

This is great, man! I love your stuff. Your style suits these songs.

[joelcathey]

@HandsomeHorribles Thanks a lot!

[SmoothCollision]

omg! Dude is hilarious lol...

"inside your little itty bitty... heart"

[CODGODX5]

The guy with the beard ruined the song

[50CalPaintballSniper]

Fallout 4 for sure.... 

[Sarc37]

The outtakes are great.

[waxinpoetic]

I Love You.

[MayThemxaBeWithYou]

I can't listen to this song enough... I think it's been about a dozen times in a row now

[benpicard36]

Wonderful musical arrangement and if you could put the chords on your site or tell me where I could see them, then I might be able to approach that level of competence without your professional presentation. Love the harmony and the very funny fellow who can't make up his mind! HAHAHA!!!

[Anivae]

Luv it!

[namelessshe]

I love this cover! It made my morning! :D

[reeyuh526]

this is a great cover. sets up a different more relaxing vibe in my opinion. makes me think of the beach in hawaii or the caribbean with a coconut drink as opposed to the ruins of dc and hordes of super mutants. great cover

[AlfonsoLibronMusic]

I freakin love this vibe. LOL I don't know why but it brings me to a brighter mood.

[Kiriyama117]

I really dig this. The original is great, and you've somehow achieved a level of coolness in this one without it sounding too similar.

Nice one!

[superduperniceguy]

Awesome!! You're very talented!

[mrmoh2]

Good covers!

[reaper5727]

if i see the nukes falling ill listen to this before i die

[Square1production]

@reaper5727 Wait, I reserved for vault 77, should i cancel?

[MrDragonedge]

I don't want to set the world on fire...... it's against the law:(

[izaiahisback]

only one problem.. this version doesn't go with fallout.. :/

[orlandothx]

@izaiahisback yeah!! it does with the copacabana version :D

[lirow505]

I love this so much.

I`ve see it almost everyday! x)

[DebbieJane20]

This has made my day!! Excellent!

[allamomar]

great stuff, and ignore the haters, their opinion are cheaper than the bits it cost to send the characters to the screen.

[lewissaysdie]

you should do another series of new Vegas songs please !

[RinokenWright]

You, sirs, are so fucking awesome. *o*

Nice cover !

[Lightgaia11]

I normally didnt like this type of music, but now that i heard your remake of an old song with this music genre i am now listing to it..

[jivarojoe]

you suck

[BrodieThomsen]

@jivarojoe

you suck

[SnakeBite27]

the guy who did the speaking parts could be a shoe in for a Foghorn Leghorn voice :)

[ivansis2007]

it's great, a cover doesn't have to be the EXACT same rhythm... this is an excelent rendition.

[laundrylint]

I like it, but I like the original more. Just me.

[ycanticommentasanon]

This makes me think of Romantically Apocalyptic. Listening to this cover makes me imagine that I'm in the wastelands, in some corpse-strwen cafe, hallucinating that the world it still intact.

[godwhatafatty]

just... fucking... awesome

[superhippie87]

This is how you cover a song.

[HandsomeHorribles]

Your covers are excellent, sir. Super impressed.

[IvanladTM]

Dude this was great, you have a lot of talent.

[SisPackAbs]

its the Muzak Version!

I expect to hear this in elevators when i play fallout now.

[TheGeeHak]

This song goes well with my coffee and and mirelurk meat

[Red989]

A cover doesn't mean to play the same song exactly the same as the original artist. If it was like that, we wouldn't have covers like "All Along the Watchtower" and Johnny Cash's version of "Hurt."

[kingblood747]

I hate when people ruin good songs like this guy

[MisterBreezer]

@kingblood747 Idiot.

[anorman728]

Oh, and a quick message to people writing negative comments: Even if you don't like it, don't leave negative comments about it. That's just a mean-spirited thing to do.

[anorman728]

This was unexpected, but very good. It's often really interesting to see a different interpretation of a good song. Kind of like how Cass Eliot reinvented "Dream a Little Dream of Me," and it ended up being the most well-known version these days. I loved this version, definitely, and I'm about to download the mp3. Great job!

[ChiquitaMontlure]

I love it! Anyone who disagrees can dual me for the right to say this.

[goodtrumpeter]

and also, it is equally amusing that those who are posting negative responses mostly have the ambiance of a lack of thought or serious commitment to what they are trying to say. I don't know many people who are going to view comments laced with insults, profanity and nonsense seriously.

Nice work - kudos to the artist. Nice that you have been able to evoke such a grandiose response!!!

[goodtrumpeter]

I find it amusing.. There are so many posts.. debating whether this is good or bad? Are you kidding? Just the fact that each of the posters is spending so much time contributing to the promotion of the video is absolutely great, and a tribute to the strength of the piece/performance/video. Are you all trying to convince someone that the piece is no good? If so, why? or.. are you trying to convince the performer that his music is bad... if so, why?

[goodtrumpeter]

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I don't know the original... so I have no preconcieved notion warping my opinion or judgement. This is absolutely gorgeous.  What is all the debate about? "wrong tempo" _ are you kidding? This is an interpretation, and a beautiful one at that. Tempo is not something that is set in stone.. actually, nothing is set in stone when you are talking about interpretation... It seems that this is not a conversation about musical validity anyhow.

[demonmasterish]

This sucks so much GO SUCK A DICK

[sentafria]

Great cover, please make fallout new vegas covers ;D

[tantomoriremotutti]

How to ruin a classic...

[mcathey]

@tantomoriremotutti Really? Ruin? From the mouth of ignorance...

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

Do you call me ignorant just because I have different preferences?

What a polite person...

The original song, had a more dramatic tone... This version is happier. I prefer the original.

What's wrong with you?

[mcathey]

@tantomoriremotutti Your assertion that the song is now "ruined" because of a different interpretation seems ignorant to me. Your opinion that you enjoy the original better is fine, and yours to have and express. But the dramatic statement that the original is now ruined because many decades later someone else interprets it differently? It's not as if the original wax recording has been defaced because this version is now out in the world. Ignorance seems appropriate in this instance.

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

Does "ignorance" seem appropriate? Well, then I suppose you're right.

If you like the song you can write whatever you want, but if you unlike it you have to shut the fuck up or someone will tell you're an ignorant...

Thanks for the advice, I get it. Bitch...

[mcathey]

@tantomoriremotutti Did you even read what I wrote? You can express your opinion that you like the original, but the opportunity to do so graciously is lost when you start condemning something as "ruined." If someone sees a Picasso, and then goes home and paints their own version of that Picasso, that is their interpretation, love it or hate it, but it has no affect on the original Picasso. If you go see a Picasso, and then take a can of spray paint and a razor blade to it, ruined it then is.

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

Maybe the verb "to ruin" is different in English... As I said before, Italian is my first language, "to ruin" has a lighter value.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

I didn't mean the original song is ruined, I meant I don't like this version. That's over. Capish?

[MisterDoobs]

@tantomoriremotutti Isn't it "capisci?" :3

[tantomoriremotutti]

@MisterDoobs

Yes it is, but I thought you americans use this form...

In Italian "capish" is used in the dialect.

[mcathey]

@tantomoriremotutti By the way, excellent use of discourse by cursing and calling names. I'm sure you make your parents very proud!

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

English is not my first language... I'm still learning. Where I went wrong?

[tantomoriremotutti]

@tantomoriremotutti

In Italian the sound "cursing" is similar to italic, so I thought I make a spelling or a grammar error.

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

Ahh, I understand now... I didn't know what does "cursing" mean.

[tantomoriremotutti]

@mcathey

However no Offense I was just kidding... Peace bro...

[Wrestlemachine88]

THIS DESERVES MORE VIEWS!!!

[wellhellotheredolly]

you're so talented! I could listen to this track a thousand times a day. Keep singing, pleasepleaseplease. (:

[OriginalRum]

Love this song love this cover even more but the guy in the middle.. ehh pushin it

[JayJB998]
