  • people know that amy winehouse didnt write this right?

  • toots and the maytals monkey man

  • Comment removed

  • this track really shows how amazing her deep voice is

  • THIS is Amy Winehouse? Holy cow.

  • This is horrible, plain and simple.

  • listen to this everyday, got the vinyl, never ever get sick of this genius woman. rest in peace to a legend.

  • @MrBeckyYates ahum its because of the song not writtne by ehr so thats why its god only that voice

  • 139 people don't f feel the ska

  • @MrBushman123 this isn't ska, not even close

  • exelenteeee !

  • R.I.P amy

  • amy still rules..

  • @RubyRedOrDead9

    she didnt have it taken, she pissed it up the wall.

  • This has more than double the number of views that the Toots version has. What has this world come to..

  • @Iron1992MIKE if you don't like her cover why would you even bother coming here? you're as old as me, the world has come to nothing. you're just a bigot.

  • @infraball On what planet does this make me a bigot? I'm nineteen, and I like ska music. I came across this because it popped up on the right when I was looking at other toots stuff, I didn't look for this specifically. I love the fact that you think you should only watch the videos of stuff you like, thats ludicrous, I was just interested to see what this warbling waste of skin had done to it. And if you think music and culture hasn't changed during our lifetime, then you're just simple.

  • @Iron1992MIKE do you even know what a bigot is? the fact you have appear to have a negative bias towards modern music strongly suggests it.

    and did i say that you must only watch videos you like? no i didn't. but it would be almost unheard of if you had never heard any of her work before now to decide on whether you liked her or not.

    no where did i say that music had not changed, i said the world has not changed. stop twisting what i said and putting words in my mouth...

  • @infraball Yes I do know what a bigot is and the very fact that I found myself listening to a singer I don't like suggests that no I am not intolerant. No I don't have a negative bias towards modern music, I actually go to a lot of gigs not that it matters. Yes, I have heard her music, yes I do dislike her style, but what you seem to forget is that this is a COVER of a style of music very different to the styles of her biggest hits, which is why I was intrigued enough to click on the link.

  • booooogh... <3

  • @pifster300 fuck you. why didn't YOU die instead u ungrateful shitbag??

  • this cover isnt very good she cant really sing it. Toots & the Maytals 4 life

  • Fuuuuucikn' Great !!!!!!

  • I love you Amy!!!!!!!!!!!

  • You know? She's dead.

  • @TheSonicTacos Why... would you say that?

  • 1:24 reggae good!

  • ti amo Amy!!! <3 <3 i miss you!!

  • So much talent wasted by drugs. Why didn't you go to Rehab?

  • @austinthebookworm5 her death was unrelated to drugs its thought to of been from her not taking drugs that her fragile body couldnt take it.

  • Comment removed

  • she sounds drunk lol

  • R.I.P Amy

  • anyone who claims to be a musician and can't hear the absolute brilliance of amy wine house is baffling to say the least. this track might not show her off as much as others. but dude this chick was the one of the greatest female singers of all freaking time!!

  • @parachuteman4 no doubt.....she has an awesome blues/jazz voice........

  • AMY will live on in. She was an immense talent and she's indeed gone too soon. RIP Amy, true music lovers will love you forever. Cheers!

  • Umm I love her style Love her.. she inspires me to find me so wtf. Ahh she went to music school too by the way you no it all haters..And looked it payed of what you doing,, bitching calling her names...pick on the dead much ...If i could smack the smile of yuh face i would punk!! Oh I went to music school too and if yuh learnt your shit then you would no...Its a dogs ass out there in the real world so shut the fuck up loser..

  • Shut tha fuck up all of you! All your mouths spit out are OPINIONS. If you got nothing good to say then shut-up and make a song and see if anyone likes it then. Lets find out if you know what music REALLY is. Cause music is music is music. Some like some songs, some don't. It's all tha style you dig. Just stop. Your pointless pre-school debate is as useless as tha time you used to write it.....lol......that's pathetic. Now I got to go do BIG BOY things, like GTFOOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • @DekanOfEarth Agreed but I could'nt help my self lol..

  • I'm sorry but she's just a pop star do you know how hard it is to actually notate music, play drums, guitar and bass all together and maybe sing or sight read music for performance, i'm sorry but just because she's edgy doesn't mean shit its ass holes like this that make us musicians fucking pissed we don't get any where yet we put so much more effort

  • @hmcyo

    I CANNOT, at the lot of you who actually think you're better then Amy Winehouse...are we being serious? Or is this some sort of sick practical joke?

    I'm being serious, for those of you who do not like Amy I have two great pieces of advice for you:

    1) Stop listening to her music on YouTube?

    2) You obviously know nothing about her, or else you would know she influenced modern-day women soul and pop artists.

    So I suggest you all go to your local music shop and educate yourself.

  • @matthewthecoolkid People get degrees in music to learn notating, improv, composing, transposing and learning theory, yet they don't get listen to because the mainstream media is in to brain dead shit, look up jay greenberg, hes a fucking 13 year old that composed 5 pieces which is so much much more difficult than this shit, so maybe take some advice from @sco8d

  • @hmcyo The difficulty of one's music does not judge one's artistic capability, nor does it control their success. Success in the music industry takes drive and ambition & obviously much more; although the artist you feel should famous may seem to have those qualifications, also takes much more then that, it takes having the ability to be rejected time & time again before succeeding. You obviously didn't spend enough time in your music theory class. Go away. K, thanks.

  • @matthewthecoolkid you obviously don't know what music is so take some advicefrom @sco8d

  • @hmcyo You're referring me to someone else because you don't know what music is yourself....oh okay. HAHAHAHA! You're such a loser mate, seriously. 

  • @hmcyo What are you five....Life anit fare get over it.. Amy brought a whole lot more then what your not seeing.. Get your head out of the books start feeling and relating.. Then you can have opinion.. Hate shit gets u no where DUH!!

  • @hmcyo dood i love playing the music i play... Which is probably everything from jazz, pop, rock, hxc, country, punk, rap truely anything, but going gaga for a fucking singing twit that offed her self.. i guess braindead musicians are the same as their fans

  • @hmcyo So, just because someone's not got a whole band means they don't put effort in?

    And maybe the fact she can effortlessly pull it off means that she's a good musician...

    You can be skilled in one area and not in another.

    I'm sure if someone shoved you into a brass band or a show choir you'd have no clue. (Or w/e you're not used to.)

    Also, don't make it out that all musicians are under the same close-minded umbrella as you. Not appreciated.

  • 131 peoples are monkey man's...lol

  • Actually I knew her from rehab, Valerie, back to black... etc. I just have forgotten her the past 2 years, so know I just reminded myself how talented she really was :)

  • To the record companies; i cannot afford to buy much, but if i cheat a little, it is only a little and not for personal gain. Excellent cover, thanks for posting.

  • @sco8d What are people giving this a thumbs up for as I have stated before "I am well aware of the history of Jamaican music and of the influences of all artists from Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae

    my point was mentioning this junkie in the same sentence as Bob Marley.

    Bob had to work hard for years and went through many styles and different phases of Jamaican Music to gain universal respect.

    He had more songwriting talent in his little finger than winehouse had in her entire drug ravaged body

  • @Razor2305 Grow up.

  • @Razor2305 because Amy deserves the thumbs up hun :)

  • @sco8d was it specials that wrote this or toots?

  • @hmcyo toots, & the maytals were around long before the Specials :)

  • @auntypopup i know that but i couldn't figure out if toots wrote it first or specials it could be a thing like how hurt was written by nin then Johnny cash covered it

  • @hmcyo sorry wasn't meaning to sound facetious, it was written by Toots, & the Maytals in 1969, apparently they were having a dig at their manager with this song :)

  • @auntypopup you weren't at all and thnks!

  • MANKY MAN!!!!!!

  • monkey man oh little monkey man now i know you're a big monkey man lalala monkey man lalala waiting for my lil monkey man

    i luv dis song so much, sing it all dai

  • cool

  • the best can only be the or1g1nal chune..... performed and created by Toots and Maytals xD

  • IM A HUGE AMY WINEHOUSE FAN BELIEVE THAT !!!!!

  • My Favorite Version of this :)

  • The Specials version will always be the best in my opinion, but i do think they are all great versions

  • Amy is now in heaven and she surely met some of the famous stars that died...:)) ♥!

  • @Bazooka043 DON'T YOU DARE TO SAY THAT AGAIN,DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!!! You are a crack whore and even worse than that!!! You aren't real and people like you go to hell!!!

  • @Bazooka043 She was very talented and she was a beautiful person.....so i don't care if you don't believe...i believe and Amy is my anel,so you're not important to me...at all....;) Fuck you!!

  • Comment removed

  • @Bazooka043 And you are just a whore? :P

  • cool ♥♥♥

  • killed it

  • cool :D

    

  • I know it's wrong to speak ill of the dead, but Amy fucking murdered this song.

  • @marksoutof10 Are you crazy? This cover is simply amazing!

  • @LadyBrochTuarach i agree

    

  • @LadyBrochTuarach I'm not crazy. Amy's butchering of this song is to me the musical equivalent of having a red-hot skewer inserted into my head.

  • @marksoutof10 BITCH!

  • @pvrp115 Well, I'm sorry you feel that way towards me, but having been so fond of the original, then hearing this, I cannot recommend this version of the song to anybody at all. That's just the way it is, I'm afraid.

  • @marksoutof10 Anyway, it's just your own opinion. It doesn't have to be valid in any sense.

  • @sco8d no kidding dickhead.

    I am well aware of the history of Jamaican music and of the influences of all artists from Ska, Rocksteady and Reggae(in all its different phases)

    my point was mentioning this junkie in the same sentence as Bob Marley.

    so follow the comments and what people are saying in future you thick bastard

  • I love how Amy sings the lower notes. She is unbeatable! A unique voice and inimitable This song cheers. It's beautiful.

    I miss you so much Amy.

  • What a waste than beautiful voice gone forever

    R.I.P Amy x
