i only have to thank gnarls barkley for giving this massively underrated song by an also underrated band the popularity that it deserved.. thank you gnarls barkley keep up the good work!!
@stevobath What the funk is wrong with you?! he is one of the best singers out there! you got peanut butter in your ears? or are you just deaf? sheesh.
@boonaga911 Did I say I didnt think he was a great singer? Even if I didnt like him,its a personal thing.It would be boring if we all liked the same thing ALL the time. Okay I made a silly joke based on how he looks. Im sure hes heard & seen it all before! Oh,I love Gnarls version but still prefer the original.I hope that covers all the bases so to speak? :)
@stevobath god...I love him..haha, if I was older I would so go out with him lol:) okay what ever I don't think he's ugly?? just different opinions here:)
Although I like this version, there's something about the original Violent Femmes version that I like better. I think it's the Xylophone that puts the original over the edge for me.
Love It! Addictive , donno when can i stop listening to this, so beautiful in its mix of genres and beats.. wanna experience the same, dowload the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im, Remove the slashes.
Abbey Road accustics are incredible. I had a tour given to me by Nick Webb an engineer who was mastering one of my singles, including the huge film score studio at the heart of Abbey Road - awesome and well worth a visit!
Luv to see where Cee-Lo has taken his career... I could tell when was with the Goodie Mob he could always do more that hip hop. ....very talented dude... A cross over artist ...yet not a sellout. And where are the rest of those dudes from the Goodie Mob? Haven't heard a thing from them in years...
@rikmomentary I'm a little surprised when people talk about it as if they wrote it, It's a violent Femmes song people! Dangermouse and his band did a nice job though, but cmon, do a little research people
@koala8 I dunno, I just personally believe that people should know where something came from. For example, all these kids today, don't realize that if it wasn't for blues, jazz, and folk, their music wouldn't exist today. They just think deathmetal, hardcore punk, or anything just sprung out of nowhere. It was a gradual change over time.
@rikmomentary Seriously? That is sad. I thought the Violent Femmes still had more cred than that. I was just thinking a few minutes ago while looking for this version of this cover that this one of those songs that will never go away. It will be covered periodically from now until the end of time.
Violent Femmes cover!! He has great taste in music. very good cover. his voice fits the song really well. he should do a bob dylan song. maybe subterranean homesick blues or something else from when dylan went electric
whoa whoa, relax dude. New vocal style, don't get edgy. Just saying, he's got a non-articulate manner of singing so he sounds hoarse and as if he has a hot potato in his mouth. I dig this song though.
of course thats what makes gnarls even cooler, the fact that they would cover the femmes is unbelievable i showed to some of my punk friends and now they fuckin respect them so much more
Man, Cee-Lo is something like a magican with his voice... he has the greatest voice ever... I've heard nothing but Gnarls Barkley for about a week, and still I'm not tired of hearing it ^^
