  • Pure comedic genius!

    How nice of William Allen White to make an appearance in your video! Now I feel compelled to put him in my next video.

    Look for his upcoming cameo...

  • LOL, that's the spirit! William Allen White just doesn't seem to get enough exposure these days. I will be eagerly awaiting his appearance in your next video.

  • Very nicely, and well played on the acoustic without being able to see much. Kudos folks. I hope everyone you play this for appreciates it enough. Beautiful!!! Do you guys play "It's Not My Birthday" ? I love playing that when I'm alone.

  • Thanks for the comment! I'm actually not familiar with that tune, but I'll definitely look it up sometime soon. But one of my favorites to play has always been Doctor Worm. Love the lyrics.

    Oh, and just for the record, both of the dudes in this video are me. The mask was originally just intended to conceal my face so that there wouldn't be two of me standing right next to each other, but I actually liked the way it turned out, so I decided to work some close-up shots of it into the video.

  • Love it! Especially the voice. Sounds like Linnel

  • Hey, I remember you! Thanks for the comment. Your Don't Let's Start cover is still the best on YouTube.

see all

  • Vocally you sound like Elvis Costello :3

    Nice cover!

  • Great cover, I like the phone.

    I used to listen to this song (as well as this cover) quite a bit while going through a divorce last year. Good stuff.

  • Hey, this is really good! The bridge was funny.

    I love unchanging face of William Allen White. Makes up for his abscence from the actual video.

  • excellent cover. Well done.

  • hahaha! That phone was a nice touch!

  • nice. very nice. on a TMBG kick these days...just searched for this...and i'm pleasantly surprised.

  • yeah nice touch with the phone ringing.

  • awesome. I love this song, i like that you had it a bit slower than the original its really good. And your voice sounds a little like John Linnell ^_^
