Burning Down The House - Talking Heads Cover

Our acoustic cover of Talking Heads - Burning Down The House.
High Quality Link - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8xCwZzC_y0&fmt=18

Also covered by Tom Jones and The Cardigans in 1999 for Tom Jones' 'Reloaded' Album.

I've been so ill recently with the Flu - So as you can tell I've coughed and spluttered my voice in to a husky mess... nevertheless thought it sounded pretty cool.

Hope you enjoy!

you guys are GREAT!!!

pshychol killer is the only song I knew of TalkingHead, didn't know there is such as style of them, I like this a lot!

by the way, the weird acoustic guitar has super long bridge and tiny soundhole, but still sounds great!!

[misspopanoche]

Hey.. The 'weird acoustic guitar' is a modern replica of a Maccaferri type jazz guitar. It's an archtop and very middley but very blanced. Maccaferri's were used by guitarist like Django Reinhardt - have a look for him on youtube.

Thanks for a great comment.

I'm not gonna lie I usual bash most covers especially just a couple of folks jammin' on YouTube, but this was actually pretty cool and catchy. They got my "like."

[Otit712]

Wow, this totally reinvents this song. I'm so used to the bombastic approach of the original, who would have thought this song could sound so different and be even cooler!

[kellygiluk]

What a fabulous voice!
