Amazing 'Sexy and I know it' cover #1

Linky.

Usually dislike the song, but he knocked it out of the park. His voice blew me away too.

Apologizes if it has been posted already.

There's a definite disconnect between the material, both musically and the lyrics and his style. They don't mesh.

I dig it. I'm checking out his other shit.

On the Mumford cover he sounds just like Marcus.

This is the kind of guy who needs to be on The Voice or something. Completely blows away the perception of what you see and then what you hear.

That was pretty good. Original too.

However it sounded a bit too muffled. I'd like to hear him without all the effects, like how he sounds in the intro.

Having never heard the original, I can't understand what you're saying. I think it meshes extremely well.

Oh hey, a post about an "amazing cover" of a popular song made by black people. Bet it's a white dude with a guitar.

*CLICK*

Yep.

*CLOSE*

Slowing down a song and playing it with an acoustic guitar like you're crying doesn't automatically make it better, any more than dropping a hip hop beat behind an acoustic song does.

Didn't then, doesn't now.

good voice, though.

Well....no one said it was better (even though I think the original is fucking terrible, whereas this is good.)

Also, isn't LMFAO white?!?

It's a party song turned into a folk song with some real traditional musicianship behind it. All I listen to is hip hop and I can still appreciate this. Stop being a douche.

You can't be serious when you cover an LMFAO song, it's not allowed.

Most entertaining version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyFSYA-u2dY (best part is about 2:20, by the way).

Terrible song, so any cover is instantly the better version.
