Jonathan Coulton covers Billy Bragg's song The Saturday Boy at his first ever London concert on March 20th 2008.

Sorry for the bad video quality, my camera is rubbish. It kept refocusing the entire time.

  • this has to be a first - I was prepared to utterly utterly hate this, but it's actually utterly utterly wicked! superb cover!

  • I'm glad you liked it. It probably helps Jonathan it a huge Billy Bragg fan.

  • Yes this guy is funny, look up his songs.

    What booing? Did you watch this video?

    A boring cover would be if it sounded the same as the original, the fact that you think the original is better means you think it sounds different, si it is not a boring cover.

  • Yeah, the audio is the important bit, and that is ok.

  • I had never heard of Billy Bragg. This song and Joco's performance of it where absolutely beautiful, and I was so very impressed by it.

  • @Kentkoren Twat.

  • Words fail me. Well, they don't, I just don't want to embarass myself.

    Thanks for the video.

  • Wow I love JC and BB, never realised JC was a BB fan! Have to say I prefer the fugelhorn in the original version, though :P

  • Wow I love JC and BB, never realised JC was a BB fan!

  • I'd never heard this song before, so I don't know what I was expecting when I heard Jonathan Coulton sing a sad song.

  • ..having said that, however, the mouth organ solo is solid. Good job on that

  • You're charming but this is dreadful. Don't sing his songs with that stupid voice of yours. It's not pop idol!

  • just fucking gorgeous - reminds me of growing up in Ipswich and unrequited love!

  • As a BB fan I wanted to hate this but I can't.!! Respect to JC

  • I was at this show and had not heard the song before, but it was very emotional for me nonetheless. Great cover.
