Very unexpected! This brave girl has a good understanding of what Fred Neil wanted. She is self ironic enough in her tiny English garden. Shes got freshness and charm, which is very rare today. And accompaniment doesnt compete with the 60s. Congratulations!

I think this is one of the coolest things I've heard in ages. Great voice, great arrangement, and great low-key "I couldn't care less" presentation. I'd go hear her perform in a second (if I weren't 4,000 miles away). I look forward to hearing more. If she had a drug problem and a bad attitude, she'd be a star already. Go Ruthie go! -Big fan in USA

Hi, this isnt really SAW, - - its a couple of samples from a magazine disk, an acoustic guitar, a dobro and a couple of violas, there are no cheesy synths

i used to think that stock aitken and waterman had reached the lowest point in pop music , but i hadnt bargained on the simon cowell/louis walsh empire- can we go any lower ?

@fsweeney1958 arite man we're quits now. all the best

@thenortherndrones

there, - ive changed it - now its your turn, but this will deprive me of the chance to make fun of all those outraged comments from 'mr angry of ballymun' and 'mr dissapointed of fairview' so you must realise the sacrifice i'.m making.

ha ha - i'll look out for the northern dolphins next time i'm in dublin.- there are no other vids of ruth shes a mum now, this was done in 2002, its hard for her to have time to get near a mic. but she still sings dolphins in the more 'traditional' style - all the best

[thenortherndrones]

Respond to this video... ..as for your stephen chatman experience, thats unfortunate. i never heard of the guy, but aye theres a lot of shit videos on youtube and our band is as guilty as others for adding to that. i still think you should change the title tho, as a compromise mayb we'll change the name of our band to the northern dolphins. id like to hear ruth stummin a guitar tho, do u have any videos of that?

[thenortherndrones]

@fsweeney1958 arite man relax. i dont have a prob with ruth or her singing here, i quite like her to be honest, but you gotta expect critism when you do a cover like this and give it the stock aiken waterman treatment. shows you missed the whole point of the original but thats fair nuff. what isnt fair nuff is the title . u prob wudnt have got any negative comments at all if you titled it with your own name or ruth, or just stated it was a cover, but then u wudnt have got the views either.

[fsweeney1958]

i think your comments reveal you to be more in the camp of Mary Whitehouse, the guy who shouted 'judas' at dylan, the people who called the police when they saw a john waters dvd, and the music lovers who booed the rite of spring because it didnt fit with their worldview.
