Before I watched this video I read the title and I said this is your father's bands song because they always did an awesome cover of this song they actually did it at my sister's wedding and your Uncle Phil played the bass guitar and I was always amazed that he was able to play those fill ins so well. You guys killed it also. Awsome
I liked the Yes stuff better. I'm calling BS on the fake recorder solo at 2:36. You might have 'triggered' a MIDI source at best ...not to sound to bitchy & gnomish....but otherwise all is real good. You sing very well, too!
@@J3unG Dude. The recorder guy fakes the entire solo(!) And he's got a look on his face like he pulled it off. No chuckles by him like from the rest of the band! My only criticism w this particular video. (I did comment I thought he sang very well...yes?) I'm actually more impressed with many of their other covers I've seen, mainly because I admire the technical skills of all in this band - esp. Ritchie who is a monster on the guitar & can sing his butt off, too! And I've heard the excellent drummer play keyboard amazingly well. Obviously a genius!
Richie - I have commented positively on almost all of your tunes. However, the vocalist...mmmm...unsure about this guy. He's ok on kazoo, but as far as I can hear, that's about it.....could be a lot better given the great groove the band puts out.
No, Mate, thats how the bass line has to be played. "The song features a bass run performed by Bakithi Kumalo; the solo is palindromic as only the first half was recorded, and was then played backwards for the second half. The decision to reverse the recording was made by Halee, who noted in a later interview that this type of experimentation was common in order to make the songs more interesting." (Wikipedia)
Electrifying performance!
Amazing! Subscribed! You guys have so much fun, it makes people who don't play instruments want to join you on stage anyway. Thank you all.
Everything, everything perfectly ENUNCIATED! Band Geeks = fidelity.

That girl has so much energy! An absolute so to watch and listen to!
The guys ARE having FUN! This is what music is about! Been doing it too long to NOT have fun!!
Awesome cover guys. Thanks for the video.
What a killer cover of that song!! You make all of us band geeks proud!
Love your live shows
How can you not love these guys?
You guys (and doll, of course) are just toooo much. I love to watch and listen. Thanks for sharing all of your talents with the rest of us.
Unbelieveable what a great cover version. Congratulations from Germany.
Yes, your dad's band did this at my sister's wedding and I was saying, Holy crap they nailed this song. Uncle Phil on the bass amazed me.
Bravo Jarrett!!!
Always loved the bass line on this song 😄
Best cover i've found so far. :)
OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Loved it. You guys are awesome!
That was nice!
That was very interesting and fun to watch. Well done!
Great channel! Sick video bud x

Wow. That was superb!
Love you all. Keep up the awesome work!
Just listen the sound of Bass guitar and everything is all right
Very good Paul Simon impression
Hi, congratulations from Lyon (France)
The best thing about this was how enthusiastic that cute little chick was about singing back up.
ITCJon And one of the best voices you'll ever hear.
Great job Drummer!
excellent job you did it very well!!!!!!
There are covers and then there's..... .... .... ... .. THIS!
Amazing!
Fantastic....
All of you were great, but Mr Wexler wins this video for me. 90+ percent of viewers think Jarrett played that solo. ;)
Awesome cover as always
P.s is that Mclovin on the keyboard 🤔🤣🤣🤣
I've watch all your youtube videos .... I think I have a problem because I've watch some 2-3 times haha Provide more videos for my addiction lol
How fun was that??!! 😎😁😎😁😎😁😎😁😎😁
That Bass solo
Damn this is a fun song. You killed it. Nice job
May I have permission to use this song for an upcoming podcast? (My host's name is Al)
Holy moly Rich
This one could have been another home run.
But.............................
But what? It was excellent.
PS- guys SOUNDS like Paul.
Jarrett vocal is very good. It is hard to do Paul Simon.
You said doody, heh.
Slappin da bass!
So who's on Lead Bass? Talk about bum cakes, your girl's got'em. Andy's drumming goes to 11.
Keyboard player looks like my high school photo

idiot. this performance was the shit.

Who else was waiting to see if he'd nail that bass break....spoiler he did

the singer is very clearly . . . .. "OFF". . .
Not right for that song AT ALL
Singing FLAT most of the time.
No tone to his voice. . .
Just "Blah!"
@@richardrejmer8721 It was virtually IDENTICAL to the original, what ARE on about?
Good, but it lacks some power... Make the synth a little fatter... The main singer is real good. Good copy of Simon's way of doing it.
I think the girl should have sang this one, just saying.
Lead singer Grimace [Mcdonald's character] is luckily the musicians allow him to hang...
Thankfully you're very much in the minority. It was a spot on vocal rendition.
Hard tempo to keep, singer was slow but did well.
C'mon Band Geeks. Vocalist WTF?
Point taken. This is Band Geeks. They can't be all things to all men. Sometimes, close enough, is enough.
The vocals were excellent, what ARE you on about?
They could have paid someone to sing instead of someone to talk - off key
You've maybe not heard the original then...
Should have had the woman singing it. Just change the key. Pity coz the rest of the band were 'On' it.
Disagree entirely
Oh please! I'm watchin their hands, IM hearing two bass lines, but neither bassist is playing! Give me a break!
kkelleybass oh come on, he's not that bad.
a bit karioki awful poor out of tune singer bass saved it
yeah comments ar right the singer messed this up
two Basses? That's CHEATING, and its sacriligous!
No, Mate, thats how the bass line has to be played.

It's brilliant!
Keys way too loud. Keys belong in the background, not the foreground. This song is all about bass and groove.
