Another song I didn’t know - I’m beginning to feel like a heathen. GO WATCH THE MOVIE NOW!!! 1 Quote

thedrunkbunny Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 One of my favorite songs. So glad to hear Billie sing it. Definitely something to look forward to each Monday. 2 Quote
Q-Man Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 That one vocal phrase in the chorus sounds nearly identical to The Longshot's "Keep Me Satisfied" and now I have that song stuck in my head. Great cover this week! 1 Quote

Great cover this week! Well they both were written to deliberately sound like Beatles songs so there are certain key signature sounds that are gonna come up repeatedly 2 Quote

I guess this video is a way to use material from that show/ a homage to it and new york without really bringing out the actual footage. If I could choose one show from the past to see, it would likely be this one - small venue and an amazing setlist. Quote

Clockwise Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 I'm so lucky to have been at that show, amazing night. Billie is fucking perfect on this song, this was meant for him to cover. I love it soooo much! 1 Quote

Did he land on or near you? I was just a little bit behind the part of the crowd he jumped into. I couldn't believe he just did that shit. I think I've said this before, but I distinctly remember thinking there was a fire in his eyes that night and an energy I'd never seen before or after. Obviously in hindsight it makes more sense, the wheels were falling off. 5 Quote
Slave To The Network Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 WOW! That was phenomenal! His voice sounded perfect and it was all exquisitely produced. Billie just keeps blowing me away with these covers. I feel so lucky to be a GD fan right now! 3 Quote

WhiteTim Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 It’s funny Sunday night/Monday morning on my Hangout group video call we watched That Thing You Do spent a few hours after talking about how great the music was in the movie and boom few hours later Billie releases this cover I wonder if he has my google account wired 😂😂 1 1 Quote
That Dude Posted April 21, 2020 Posted April 21, 2020 While the latest cover is my least favorite, it still sparked something that has lead me to my latest listening adventure. Fountains of Wayne have always been on the outskirts of my musical habits. I keep up with what they are doing, but haven't really given them much attention. But after slogging through the career of Hoobastank, this is such a breath of fresh air. Not the best rock music I've ever heard, but certainly better than a lot of artists out there. For a band that has some success, these guys have surprisingly little money. According to google, they are worth 850,000. That's a lot of money for me. But that's the lowest net worth I've ever seen for a band with international success, even at a lower level. I'd put them around the same tier as Bowling for Soup, but even those guys have millions. 11 Million versus Green Day's 85 Million or whatever, but man. Anyway. They are decent band I've tackled a couple of their albums so far. In my top 200 bands, which is alright. Quote
