whoever thinks this is out of tune: you are showing your musical ignorance and complete lack of training. That is exactly the arrangement: and it is a brilliant arrangement at that. Kurt has immense talent, and creative vision is boundless. Please don''t embarrass yourself with further commentary.

@Vishinho17 Glad you like it. You and the other 23 must be tone deaf like Mr. Elling.

@hbdywtk he is out of tune? do you mean e.g. 0:20 or 0:56? he does it on purpose (maj7 chord i think). ok its not the same key as the original, but does it matter? imo everything fits together

I was the first to dislike this, which surprises me. He's way out of tune. Hasn't anyone heard the original Joe Jackson version? This sucks.
