Whole Wide World (Cover)

I first heard this when I rented the "Stranger than Fiction" DVD. It is a song from 1978 I think by Wreckless Eric. He has a cool website... http://www.wrecklesseric.com/

I love the song and thought I would do a cover.
I layed some effects in i-movie.. hope I didn't over do it.
Peace,
J.L
P.S. my voice is scratchy at the moment but I don't think it hurt the tune any.

When I was a young boy
My mama said to me
There's only one girl in the world for you Whole Wide World
And she probably lives in Tahiti

I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her

Or maybe she's in the Bahamas
Where the Carribean sea is blue
Weeping in a tropical moonlit night
Because nobody's told her 'bout you
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Find out where they hide her

Why am I hanging around in the rain out here
Trying to pick up a girl
Why are my eyes filling up with these lonely tears
When there're girls all over the world

Is she lying on a tropical beach somewhere
Underneath the tropical sun
Pining away in a heatwave there
Hoping that I won't be long

I should be lying on that sun-soaked beach with her
Caressing her warm brown skin
And then in a year or maybe not quite
We'll be sharing the same next of kin
I'd go the whole wide world
I'd go the whole wide world
Just to find her
Wreckless Eric

@SMITHSCIENTIST Thank You! I would like to hear your other two favorites. Are they on YouTube?

[beccag235]

Hey that isn't too bad for a cover. Your voice is pretty good, I have heard a lot worse. It is all about your confidence.

[JackHL]

Thank you!

[finkbuilt]

I like that you did the lighting in the same colors as the original video. nice touch

[JackHL]

Thank you for checking it out.

[tmgrk]

Very good! I would like somebody to make this song in rock/ metal version :)

[mirandag408]

Weird echo... but it sounds good. :)

[JackHL]

Not much of a spin, more of a tribute to the man who wrote the song. I am a writer and out of a ton of videos this is the only cover.

my singing pitch was way off on some notes, I had a bad cold, but that also gave the scratchy voice so it's a toss up. I cringe when I here how flat I am on parts, but oh well.

I checked your videos, not too bad but the quality of the video and sound keep your songs from sounding as good as they could. It's all just for fun though, right? Right.

Peace,

J.L
