i wish there was a recorded version of this!!
-
Awesome!
-
It's just a cover, kids. Instead of trying to compare the two, why not just enjoy them both for what they are?
-
I love the argument that a cover isn't as better as the original, because: "if it weren't for the original, then the song wouldn't exist to begin with." Christ,you're stupid. How do you even manage to dress yourself in the morning?
Obviously this is a better version. Paul Simon is a fantastic songwriter, but he ruins a lot of his own work by being criminally bland and overly polished.
-
haha i smiled @ 1:51
-
2:50 he talks smack about chevy but see him start the dance from the video? then he catches himself and stops.
-
this is good but people saying its better then paul simons are idiots simon is a legend and this kid wouldnt even have these "verses" without him plus simons voice is way smoother and fits this song perfectly
-
uaah :(
-
I'm gonna say it...I prefer Jens' verson to the original! I think he gives the lyrics a weird emotional edge they don't have in the proper one.
Okay, start dissing now. :P
