    Good gosh! This looks great! May i rip it?
    Sorry bout the phone bit, y'all. I didn't have much time to prepare on this. Lots of vocal cues in this tune and I didn't want to leave the guys hangin'. Also, if I messed up the lyrics, I'd never hear the end of it.

    One of the most important aspects of doing a vocal (or any instrument) cover is getting the timing and phrasing to match the original recording. Few can do it well, usually off on their own "interpretation".
