Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer - Plays Pretty for Baby (piano cover)

My arrangement of Zolof the Rock & Roll Destroyer's "Plays Pretty for Baby."

My three YouTube channels:

- http://youtube.com/user/ToddGates - my musician channel

- http://youtube.com/user/ToddAllenGates - where I discuss the ideas in my book "Dialogue with a Christian Proselytizer" (a dialogue between a Christian proselytizer and a Socratic skeptic)

- http://youtube.com/user/ToddAllenGates2 - where I discuss the ideas in my book "Hunting, Gathering, & Videogames" (such as "Why do we have to work?" and "Why do we have to use money?" and "How should we define 'success'?")

> piano version definitely resonates in such a way.

Agreed--not all songs/melodies sound good on the piano (example: Metallica's 'Enter Sandman'), but yes, this one translates to solo piano very well!

> Awesome

Thanks!

I LOVE this! I'm 16, and just started learning piano. I've been watching all these great covers on youtube, and this one is definitely a favorite. I hope I become a good enough piano player to cover this song some day.

Thanks :)

When you're ready, I made a tutorial for this video (I posted it as a video response to this one).

> wish i could download this on to my ipod

I don't know the specifics of how, but I think there's a way -- google "convert youtube videos to mp3" and you should find a conversion site that will allow you to get a mp3 file out of this. And from there, you should be able to put it on your ipod.
