Her voice and the vocal harmonies remind me of Karen Carpenter a little (which is a good thing). That whistling part was pretty bad though and almost ruined the entire song for me.
It's the whole song, really: The "Close to You" chord rhythm of the piano, the sweep of strings, the close-mic'd vocal, the double-tracked voice in the chorus, the "ahhhh" backing, even the drum sound... If this thing wasn't meant as a Carpenters homage, I'm a banana.
Great song. Most "Tim & Eric" stuff is jokey/parody. I kept waiting for the "funny" part in this one, but as the song kept playing, I was like, "Wait, no, this is actually just a genuinely wonderful song!"
@BruisedEyeSockets I'll tell you how is kinda long,download the vid .flv would be cool,then convert it into mp4 with good sound quality any ipod video converter should do the job, then with an audio converter turn it into mp3 and done you have your song,xilisoft audio converter is very good
Just go onto iTunes, they have it as a bonus track, otherwise, it's not on the CD, unless you live in Japan. I don't have any of The Bird and the Bee CDs, but I have almost every single song of theirs on my iPod. They rock, and their interpretations of Hall and Oates songs are modern and fun!
@rusty1491 go to the wiki and look at the track listings under japanese bonus track and it is there. but i dont know what this song has to do with japan.
Thumbs up if you seen the episode and found this song YAAY!!!
