"Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead

Cover of the song "Fake Plastic Trees" by Radiohead. I was a little off with the high notes in the beginning, keep watching though I promise it gets better. =P

lyrics:

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plants
Just to get rid of itself.
And it wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out.

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love.
But I cant help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted,
All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh...

I joined just to post u a comment dude, but couldnt decide which one to write on, as they are all pretty damn good!

Your vocals are sung from the heart and you really connect with each song. Well done dude

[xylopolist]

Thanks, Daz. ;)

Very, very nice. As a fellow musician, I just want to say to those of you who post complaints about chord choices, the speed at which songs are played, the use of capos -- please be quiet. Covering songs is not about replicating what the original artist did. It's a cover, not a copy. That doesn't mean it's good. But it's not bad because Thom uses a capo at the second fret and somebody else doesn't. A cover is interpretation, not mimicry.

Xylopolist could take a sh*t and the dung from his very *ss could play and sing better than you. Loser.

Great job, xylopolist, as always!

Good one man! Interesting video effects too :) Check my cover if you get some time. Thanks, and keep up the good work :)

nice nice ..

[muertovivovillano]

Yorke's reaches those high notes by singing in falsetto or something like that... look it up on wikipedia.. its really interesting...

i love singing to his songs because of that... a very cool touch on his songs... altough i dont think my voice reaches that note :(

[freshgirl1992]

Beautiful voice :)

Never heard the original song before...but I like this cover :)

[konrad0611]

Good voice and that man but not for this song. More a pop-rock singer I think, hence your intense concentration on your own image on your computer screen. Either that or you have the words on it.

[plunger333]

really good...liked how you filmed it too.

[chipdspenser]

nice bro i crack a lot more when i hit that note

[quachelle]

It's obvious those high notes are hard. But you do a really good job!

Brilliant version mate. Unlike the other commentators, Im not looking 4 a carbon copy of the original. You bring an assertive personal approach which is good and should be acknowledged, which I do. Greetings from Cardiff UK.
