--> Pretty damn creative if you ask me. This is what I look for in cover songs, staying true to the original yet making it your own. Although, the very ending was cornball the improvised instruments were dope. Looked like they had a blast.

btw...wtf is this the most covered song or what?

LOL! A Cappella! (there was another a cappella one but it sucked, this one is better)

Video

lol i want an acapella band.

I'm mystified by musicians that can play and sing at the same time. Cause I can't. This was fun. I like it more than the original version of the song. Thanks for sharing!

That was truly rad! I do like that better than the real song! Song has been played 8 million times.
I'm impressed with his ability to sing and play those ultra fast arpegios. I guess you just gotta get in the zone. I can almost sing and play guitar... almost.... it's so hard. How do you do it/??

if you learn the instrument and lyrics at for a song at the same time its easier. so a certain word corresponds with a action.

something like that.

sprouts is totally right. it is easier if you learn the lyrics and song at the same time i think. though it totally gets easier the more comfortable you are with your instrument. it was definitely hard for me when i was learning the guitar.

lol i thought this was actaully by someone else.

but i guess that was just a cover.

great song.
i have something better than that video.... link

omf

ediiiiiiiiit.

BUSTED U JOEY!

lol

When my friend Jake and I lived in the dorms and we didn't really understand anything about emo except that it was a bunch of whining and really slow guitar, we made a song under the name Sadbook Neutrino 31 called "I Cut Off My Penis".

A few years later, after the Postal Service album came out, we did a "cover" version of this song in Fruity Loops and changed the lyrics to an expansion of the "I Cut Off My Penis" theme. My favorite line was Jake saying "In the morning, you cut my penis. In the evening, you cut my penis. Everyday, you cut my penis. And now it's gone."

I love the ben folds cover of "bitches ain't shit".
