  • This is truly awful. Its nice that you employ a special needs singer and all, but man, this shouldn't even be on the web--its really that bad.

    I do congratulate you on being able to drug all the sound guys so they can keep a straight face through this farce.

  • Hey thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. Which Thompson song should we cover next? We may just do an all Thompson cover album, but with a ska backing band. I think you'll really dig it.

  • i saw a kid on a bike get hit by a car once. as he was lying in the street yelling in pain, he didn't sound as bad as this singer.

    I didn't have a camera to film it, but it would have satisfied your invitation to the other posters to do a better job.

  • I know life is confusing right now and your body is going through a lot of changes, but once your mom takes you to the gynecologist and they explain what's happening, you'll feel better and won't be so angry all the time. Grrr. Being a teenager sure is tough!

  • @hexicola Seconded. It might have helped if they had actually been playing the tune of '1952 Vincent Black Lightning'.

    Knowing the words is NOT enough!

  • Don't worry boys, this shit is awesome!

  • What the hell is everyone going on about? This is a really good version - not a smidgeon on the original but when you're covering one of the best songs ever written what are you gonna do?

    As it is this is probably my favourite cover of this; different enough from the original to actually be interesting, and it works well with the country-tinge you gave it here.

  • Solid work, gents.

  • man, this is really bad. get a real singer and you might be alright. unbelievably bad.

  • is this supposed to be funny? what's the matter with the vocalist? is he trying to emulate a particular sound, or is he really just that bad?

  • Now i know what the taliban was warning us about. I'd rather have acid in my ear than listen to this crap.

  • the only thing that's confusing is your belief that you have talent.
