I do really like his voice.

The official video is nice but I think I prefer the lyric sheet video.
The font is so cool.

Excellent!!!

I just wish more music was projected in this vein rather than the "auto - tuned" horrid horseshit that I hear on a more regular basis -- this is a war I can whole-heartedly support!!!!!

Viva la Soul baby!!!!

That Vance Gilbert thing hurts. Ouch. Really? Old dude with nothing better to do than act like a fool who's just seen his first music video?

Hahaha.. clever concept.  Too bad it just doesn't have anywhere near the class of the Cee-Lo  track...  If he made a listenable track, it would have been freakin amazing.

I dunno - one is a great song with lyrics the kids will latch onto - one is an amusing [and woefully underfunded] parody [and I do love parodies - I'm a sucker for them]... either way - approaching something that might be near a "melody" is a good thing - or maybe I just heard way too much "cookie cutter" / "aerosol" crap coming out of my youngest daughter's room for too many years and mistook that for actual "current" music [the older one was way into "indie" bands and stuff that ranged from Zappa to  70's punk to Billie Holiday and other stuff you don't expect most kids in their late teens to gravitate towards]

I saw him do it on some late night show.

He was asked to say a different word for the f-word.

He did that once, and then said the f-word afterwards.

It is a cool song. Good arrangement.

Cheers

... [and woefully underfunded]


One man's "woefully underfunded" is another man's "shitty".  The heart's there, just not the execution.  I guess he just didn't sell me on the whole concept of him having "more class"...haha.    

totally hear ya though.  it's appreciated!  I'm a stickler for parody too... to the point of being a bit of a parody snob!  Hayseed Dixie?  Hated em... (long story behind that tho..lol)

See I love Hayseed Dixie - and while I guess it could be a "parody" recording, I never looked at it that way... what I love about that record is that it shows that a great song will transcend genre -- there are a few tracks ["You Shook Me" being one of them] that I think almost work BETTER as bluegrass songs.  Could just be my twisted love of Bluegrass - I dunno - but they are great songs, and to me they transcend genre.

While "Lounge Against The Machine" was intended as a parody recording, that too shows that good songs can go anywhere and still be good - where "eh" songs need to stay in their original presentation to work.

I could be wrong, but that's my take on it and I'm sticking to it... and while I think the second "response" song is NO WHERE NEAR as good [or even in the ballpark] its still better than so much other crap I'm subjected to on a regular basis that I'm willing to give its shortcomings a pass.

As always - YMMV [though I am intrigued about why you're not into Hayseed - if you feel like typing the tale I'd be more than interested to read].

Peace.

That cee-lo track is one bad-ass funky tune!!  For once, something not sampled from an old recording!!!

Well, the Hayseed thing is purely just bitterness on my part..  I'll be the first to admit it.  

I was in a heavy metal bluegrass band before they surfaced that IMO smoked em on the "concept" end (ie: authenticity).  We had some vocal arrangements that took it to another level, and a front man who would have you pissing yourself...  

Just my opinion though!  We didn't last long.. other projects had us living in separate states a couple of months after we got it going.  

Like I said, I'm a bit of a parody (or whatever you wanna call it) snob...  The guys that I grew up w/ are questionable musicians but definitely brilliant writers and comedians.  I just like to see a concept given it's full attention (like musicians and engineers can be "perfectionists" I'm obsessed w/ seeing a concept through).  

I agree, some of those songs work better as bluegrass songs.  Even Pour Some Sugar On Me.  I'll try to dig some of our old shit up and send it your way.
