Best cover ever!!! That was absolutely awesome! Thank you so much for doing that. That has totally made my day. It really suited your voice, and I love your ukulele arrangement. The simplicity of it really suits that song. (And Corser was looking as cute as ever). Thanks so much Russell, you rock! :music:
 
Great job! I think thats one of your best:D

thanks man! that means a lot.

thanks Michelle! it's a really fun song to play. the lyrics go by so fast, i found it hard to catch my breath. it's like he's almost "rapping"! okay, maybe that was a bad comparison. but anyway, thanks again for introducing me to this song. cheers!:)

You're very welcome, and THANK YOU again for the cover!! Yes, I think that even though it's probably one of his easiest to play, it would be one of his hardest songs to sing. As well as the speed, he just alternates between two notes most of the time in the verse which I think would be really hard to sing without it sounding monotone if that makes any sense? Anyway, that's how it seemed to me when I tried it. You did it perfectly though! By the way, I played it to a friend last night and her first comment was that you sung it better than Ben Lee :)
