that's four words. true? signed, the rapists

[cagwa]

You've raped one of my favorite songs.

[rsmko]

yeh shoulda checked with you before risking it. there's no excuse for being amateuirshnes.

[MrKen19056]

Cole Porter was active in the '80's?

[woundedhorse]

Under rehearsed and the vocals are real bad but surprisingly the guys have the right chords which aren't easy to work out. She's maybe a better singer than this would suggest. Hats off for getting the chords right though.

I was almost tempted to report this video as inappropriate. There is no word in the English or Arabic language for that matter that can describe how appalling this is.

[LOOKN450]

Maybe the vocals needed a bit of refining, still, as a tremendous XTC fan, it's very rewarding to see someone pay homage to such a complex piece, and for the most part pull it off pretty well. XTC was,in my opinion anyway, the best band of the eighties ... screw the hecklers ...

Take this woman away, blindfold her, then shoot her for the savage murder of a classic XTC song. This is a criminal version.

[iwokeuphalfundressed]

Man, I hate this woman. You destroyed my favorite song, bitch.

@rawilson you mean anyone in a drunken stupor who doesn't get this. just because there's a lot more to being a musician, much less an artist, than technique (be it good to middling, or even bad), & even though one man's vomit is another's treasure, the "Portsmouth Sinfonia" these guys are NOT...

[todddillingham1]

perfect :)

[rawilson]

@ultrasound6 Stay pro man. Make sure it's all pro. Don't stray from anything PRO.

[rawilson]

Anyone who doesn't get this ain't no fucking musician. This is a fine version of a great song. Dumb-ass haters, continue on your blind trajectory of idealizing "art" as it conforms to your pre-fab aesthetics, and leave us to the real deal. RSM FTW.
