  • Can any of you fucking assholes trying to cover this tune not mangle it. Every version except the original sounds likes tow alley cats fucking. This group should be put in the electric chair for this awful version.

  • Oooh a BRUTAL cover. I am sure Emmett Otter is rolling over in his grave. This group should have practice the tune some more....the lead singer is a little off with the music, It's so bad though, it's good in a way. I watched this twice. I give props to the hot chick who did a good kazoo solo!

  • Have yet to hear a good cover of this great Paul Williams Classic.

  • The singer sounds like a goose choking on a wood of steel wool. Actually if you just replace him and the guy on the guitar and the jug blower and the chick on washboard and the violin guy and maybe that fellow on the end knocking on that tin can or whatever...youd have a pretty decent band!

  • More Cowbell!

  • Why!!!!

  • There is 3 things I think made this music rendition stink a lil bit.

    Firstly, the people wouldn't shut the hell up... too much noise from the crowd.

    2nd, there was no violins in the band and sure don't remember a COWBELL. A guitar & banjo was played.

    3rd and finally... not every was singing in melody/harmony with the song. either that or the mics weren't matched in sound volume.

  • They were cheering cuz it was finally over

  • oof
