I just watched "If I Only Had A Brain" again (like I haven't watched it dozens of times since my first time!) I LOVE everything about this video! I love your balladic (is that a word?) rendition of the song, I love the way the film looks like something straight out of the 30's with all its "imperfections." And, oh yes, most important of all, I love the childlike innocence in your voice, Cat... Look at me -- I'm standing up and applauding - again!!
Really one of the best versions of this song I've ever heard sung. Arrangement, pace and sparse guitar is perfect, and puts the focus upon the singing and the words.
Hey Cat. I will not bore you with me musical history. One question though.... Are you doing your own background harmonies in this video. I would bet that you are? Let me know if I'm wrong or right. All the best, Jeff sukosd
Your rendition is awesome. And...you just gave me a great idea for a parody with the current nutcases in our U.S. Congress. This will be a blast to create. Thank you for your wonderfully whimsical version of a legendary and iconic song! God bless you!
My dad and I used to sing this song all the time. Now I’m getting married in Oct and I really wanted to have this song as our bride/father dance. This is the perfect cover for that!! Does anyone know if I can download it anywhere? Or if it’s still available on her patreon?
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers Consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be scratchin' while my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain. I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le, In trouble or in pain. With the thoughts I'd be thinkin' I could be another Lincoln If I only had a brain. Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore. I could think of things I never thunk before. And then I'd sit, and think some more. I would not be just a nuffin' my head all full of stuffin' My heart all full of pain. I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry, If I only had a brain (Theres some humming and shit here) Oh, I could tell you why the ocean's near the shore.

I love this song so much. It's a bit like my own personal theme.
I have heard no other covers of this song as beautiful as this!
I couldn't even wait for the song to finish before I was out of my chair, on my feet and APPLAUDING!!!!! Thanks, Cat...
Haha! I couldn’t even wait to finish reading your comment before I was out of my chair applauding! Thank you for your support Michael! :)

Her way of singing space Odyssey literally takes you I n a long journey into space. Absolutely love this song from her.
this song is stuck in my head when at work
Growing up in EC class and not being as smart as everyone else I’d always resonate with scarecrow . I wish there was an Oz who could fix me .
We all have our strengths and weaknesses, my friend. The only thing we can do is our best! Sending you good vibes from Canada!
@@catjahnke thank you and I’m starting to except it now . Beautiful cover btw .

The greatest lyrical song in Film history.

Love this recording, Cat. From a Sudbury fan...
Hey Cat all the best for tonight! The lovely 'ethereal' sound to your voice in your background harmonies is truly gorgeous. (great recording Darren).
I like her necklace. She wore it in another video as well. Her voice is soothing.
absolutely delightful darlin'.

This was a treat to hear. Thank you, Cat, or a beautiful rendition!

Jeff Sukosd These are all of Cat's harmonies. She does all the arrangements and plays all the instruments too. I produce and master all her music.
This is so good. I love it..Thanks Cat!!

Your rendition is awesome. And...you just gave me a great idea for a parody with the current nutcases in our U.S. Congress. This will be a blast to create. Thank you for your wonderfully whimsical version of a legendary and iconic song! God bless you!
I'm a little late to the game, but did you do it?
Not yet.
I wanna download this
You can! There are download instructions in the description for a free download of the song. :)
Sweet voice!!
So cute👏

Congratulations on your wedding Lisa! I’d love to be a part of your special day. Send me an email to info@catjahnke.com and I can hook you up. ❤️❤️
Seems like the composer, Harold Arlen, deserves some kind of mention.
Ack! You are so right! Thank you! I’ve added his name to the description.
I could while away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers
Consultin' with the rain.
And my head I'd be scratchin' while
my thoughts were busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain.
I'd unravel every riddle for any individ'le,
In trouble or in pain.
With the thoughts I'd be thinkin'
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain.
Oh, I could tell you why The ocean's near the shore.
I could think of things I never thunk before.
And then I'd sit, and think some more.
I would not be just a nuffin' my head all full of stuffin'
My heart all full of pain.
I would dance and be merry, life would be a ding-a-derry,
If I only had a brain
(Theres some humming and shit here)

Little does the brainless Scarecrow know that the more you know the worst the pain and life ain't gonna be a ding- a derry. lol
I live for UA-cam comments like this
"There's some humming shit in there"
"Life ain't gonna be ding-a-derry"
I have to agree with Scott Jones that I live for comments like this too... ❤️

My Mom's Maiden name is "Strauss", we have Jahnkes in our Family Tree . Maybe we are related !
Omg you bear a remarkable resemblance to the New Zealand prime Minister
That’s a new one. Haha! In the past I’ve heard Sarah Jessica Parker a lot, and even Ellen(??). I’ll add this to the list. 😂
What key is this in?
I haven’t played it for a while but I think I play it in C with my capo on the first fret, so it comes out in C#. I hope you can play along! :)
I love you😍😘
Back atcha!
❤❤❤
I hope your neck forgave you for providing the world with such a cute treat 😂
Haha! It was all worth it. :)
what if you had only a _small_ brain...😔
Siri
Brains are highly overrated.
Hearts, on the other hand, are undeniably necessary. :) ❤️
Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez'sTheme Song .... hahahahahahahaha ...
The singings good! But the ...acting? that goes w the song is so incredibly corny. It's hard to watch.
I completely agree. “Incredibly corny” is exactly right. Haha! But most people seemed to like it so I left it up. Why yuck someone’s yum? :)
