Thanks for listening and commenting Rene.
One curious thing I noticed about the original is that the pitched elements are all tuned up by about 30 cents (assuming A440). At least that's true of the official music video version on YouTube.

One of my favourites! I love TMBG and you did a great cover here, staying faithful to the spirit of the original. I would love to hear a cover of We Want A Rock by a KVR artist.

Excellent cover. This is one of my favorite songs of all time!
I think the mix is a little over compressed and the vocal is little muddy around 200-400Hz but the individual sounds are great and it's a fantastic arrangement.
Thanks so much for sharing.

They are one of my favorites too. I want to do a cover of their first version of Why Does the Sun Shine? (The Sun is a Mass of Incandescent Gas).

Very nice. The vocal parts fit together a lot better now. This'll definitely be getting a lot of play around here. I played it for Brit and she enjoyed it too.
