This guy is very talented! He knows how to write, arrange, sing, harmonize and mix and make it look easy...my favorites are Yesterday and Quaranqueen. Amazing...I wish I had half that skill.
@TJ Thunder Forgive my bad English Mr. Thunder, this most certainly falls into the 'is' category; I myself was very inspired by this creative masterpiece and have rewritten a slayer cover and recorded my vocals over the top of an instrumental version I found on youtube, I called my song Banned from Devon (after their South of Heaven album). ...and thank you for an intelligent response; glad to see someone consider the structuring of English instead of using emojis. Good health to you mate.
Isn’t it awful?? U.S. here. I cry & pray for all of humanity. The devil is working overtime. God said it would go down like this, but still… Sad times.

I am from Italy. I took the lockdown seriously and I didn't go out except when necessary but didn't experience stress or anxiety or cabin fever. However when I heard ambulance sirens, I was reminded of how things were going out there
Your lyrics are very funny and so cleverly constructed, every next line is a surprise, nothing predictable. Keeping some words from the original song or changing them just slightly in places where they are most familiar to our ears make this " remake" even more endearing.
The best I have seen! I am a huge Simon and Garfunkel fan and I saw this and thought, "This will be stupid, but what the heck." I loved it. You made my day!
I cannot tell you how many times I laughed during this song.. is it the stress?.. I think in part.. I also felt like crying.. maybe I'm hysterical.. but regardless of my state.. (because of the situation we're going through ).. this man is really so talented.. can you believe how good he sings and really how clever he is.. I'm ignoring how handsome he is because he's married..
People, let's get this one over the first 100 K. Love your poetic lyrics " My excuses, like silent raindrops fell". We've all been there. Greetings from South Australia
Some people are born with such talented ambition I’m so glad I listen to Mr.Kiffness talent, I love his voice…….keep the songs going, and thank you for sharing your love of music.
probably the best parody have ever had the pleasure of watching. Sung faultlessly with well fitting lyrics. Quite emotionally draining in parts but also very funny....well done , outstanding
Greetings from Los Angeles! You have to send this to EVERY 'Late night' comedian (Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Cobert and John Oliver) ...you are going to be an International sensation!! No pressure but...keep them coming!!!
I must admitt, I absolute adore your songs. They gave me and still give me such bright smiles over the lockdowns here and the still difficult time I experience. Thank you so much for your contributions. May whoever you believe in watch every step you make.
I love this song so much that I chose to listen to your version even though I have the original on tape, CD, video (unless my kids recorded cartoons over it), and on the very phone that I'm watching you on as I type this! Your lyrics and your voice... perfection!
This song has always meant something special to me it's such a spot in my heart but now it's completely touched another spot in my heart to wear its happiness and I had laughed so hard I was almost ROFLMAO. I understand why you didn't call was because you know what they say unhappy wife unhappy life LOL. I love how you spliced the two videos together and synchronize them. Please keep these coming.
You did it again! Loved it. There's so much the US and South Africa have in common. One guy jaywalks and 20 cops show up! You're bringing us together . . . aparty.
We are in lockdown in Montagu, Western Cape. Police patrol here often, sirens blaring. We love watching the Kiffness songs and then try make up our own lyrics. Going to have fun with this one!
BRAVO! You & others doing this art deserve a SPECIAL CATEGORY at SUNDANCE & CANNES FILM FESTIVAL. I KID YOU NOT. 🧺🤩🎵🙏🏾 You're an INCREDIBLE singer, songwriter, arranger, videographer.
You're a real genius, Kiff. You bet l'll be going over the lyrics over and over again! Art Garfunkel will be proud! Keep up the good work. Love, from "also Semi Lockdown Malaysia".
Notice they tell you what symptoms come with the virus but none about the isolation : restlessness, insomnia, irritability, indigestion, desperation, hopelessness, anger, panic, claustrophobia, manic depression, ..etc
Mary Broderick So true... I think the desperate depression resulting from the isolation will have more long lasting ramifications than the virus itself in many ways......
Drgnfli It's easy to speak that way if you've never suffered clinical depression. And isolation makes depression so much worse. This crisis is already causing murders and suicides. That's nothing to laugh about. Mental health is no joke.

Bloody brilliant! The best part of this lockdown is seeing so many awesome parodies coming out! Made my day (even though I have no idea what day it actually is anymore...) 😂😍
I am listening to this in the beginning of November, at the corona capital of the moment, Belgium. This really made my day. Pure genius. Thank you so much.
Me to its hard to believe this guy does not like have a least 200k in subsribers but it take time for things to cacht on some times in this new cyber virus shit world we live in now
I will definitely be a new subscriber because I just found this guy. What an amazing voice. Since he couldn't contact his wife he should have used his one call to phone Margaret.
It is only our "opinion" that he is good? What a GENIUS observation. I only THINK that filet mignon is good but somehow as I am enjoying it I don't sit there thinking, "You know, it's REALLY only my OPINION that this is good and if I had 'true culture' I probably wouldn't even like it." I guess it had never occurred to me that as individuals we were not allowed to have our own opinions. I must confess to being a bit confused as to why you would be bothering with a video that is self identified as being a PARODY when a person of "true culture" such as yourself could be listening to one of the hundreds of thousands of videos of music by the masters such as Bach or Beethoven or Mozart. Just a gentle point that you might want to consider...nobody much likes a snob, darlin'.
This is the anthem of my nights, walking trackways, towpaths and across a moor, all the time keeping an eye out for the bat flu stasi (I was smuggling non-essential easter eggs across town lines, but that market has dried up recently🤫).
By far the most creative parody so far. The song choice is perfect & successfully sends a message of haunt & humor. Amazing...great job. Certainly something unique to share with others. ☆☆☆☆☆

Why am I only finding this now??? Oct 17/2024
This is just spot on perfect!! Beautiful, actually.
3 weeks later, we're only finding this now. I guess I'd better have a closer look at the Kiffness videos.
Damn
Every time I find another Kiffness gem I am astounded at the raw talent.
This is seriously good.
Genius!!! (as always!) even without cats, birds, doggos etc.
Real..honest talent.
Luv the sincerity and straight face! Thanks Kiffness, this deserves an Academy Award.
This guy is very talented! He knows how to write, arrange, sing, harmonize and mix and make it look easy...my favorites are Yesterday and Quaranqueen.
Amazing...I wish I had half that skill.
This guy is great!! Not only is he clever and can sing, he’s just plain lovable!
Why aren't you more popular? Your talent is freaking outstanding.
Can't Agree more
Because he lives in south africa. He needs to .over to another country get popular their then move to another like pewdipiedid
@@MdVaDc Pewdiepie only moved to the UK because the broadband was better than Sweden.
This is probably the most unique parody that I have seen so far and follows the original song perfectly. Well done!
Really great Beautifully and well done
Rounds up to a nice 100 likes, lol.

I discovered the Kiffness last week and became an instant fan! Living in South Africa is amazing again thanks to your awesome talent.
This is gold! After all these years still feeling support. We are not alone in difficult times! Thank you for this masterpiece. God bless!

This is fucking genius. Who can make such a legit quality parody cover of Simon n Garfunkel is a real talent
STEVIE RIKS
His voice really suits this one
EXCELLENT!!! , I wish my grade 7 class had practiced this version in 1971 ,...... Brings tears to my eyes .
Parody is an art form. You've got it down to perfection.
check out Al Doane 'The wreck of the Hillary Clinton'
Pretty much it's hiku a form of rhythmic poetry where words rhyme. Most music is like that, and I love reinventing songs.
Adam Schiff likes a good parody!
Sarcasm and parody is also a sign of high inteligence
I love your kind of wacky! Grew up listening to Dr. Demento... I love your smart funny senses!
Revisiting my favorite lockdown parodies! Its been over a year, still makes me laugh!
Austria is in fourth wave lockdown right now and again it's you who saves the rest of my sanity. Thanks for your great work. 💕
А я спасалась и сейчас, когда на душе -- дерьмо, спасаюсь тирольскими напевами!!! ❤️🎶👏💐 Но это парень тоже замечательный!!!! 😍🎶

Pretty much what I was trying to express. Less emphasis on making the lyrics fit & more in telling your story. Love it!
That was beautiful.
The one dislike is from my wife.
Why though?
I have a feeling the laundry is still not done...
Its awesome bro, thanks
I pray to God for you to be safe and to walk the line😉
😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
You forgot to do the laundry
The loundry is still waiting
😂😁😂
I played the original of this song, on repeat, during my pregnancy in 1998.
So had a good laugh to hear your version.
I hope that you find the bridge over the troubled waters.
Very clever and insightful!
@@treesarae Hello, it is hard work. Being South Africa maybe there are diamonds on the soles of their shoes

Yes!! Agreed! But she can think "lucky me"!! Ha ha 😊
I started crying watching it. 😢💔
You're married to 30 people and never knew! I loved this version, just couldn't laugh because it's the sad truth.
I agree...and he is rather pleasing to the eyes!!!
I watch this all the time. First time i saw The Kiff and am huge fan since epidemic started. Congratulations on your beautiful wife and son ❤
People, let's get this one over the first 100 K.

I'm enjoying all your parodies, but I think this is my favorite so far! So clever. I second the vote for a 'Day-O' parody!
This man is a genius.
U make this lockdown just a little bit better for me man
You and the Mrs. are noble and beautiful souls. Thank you for being beacons of light and creativity in this ever darkening world.
You have a beautiful voice. I’ve listened to this at least 15 times now and can’t get enough.
I’m really impressed by the way he can sing. I love his voice so much.
You are proving the high value of art to mankind in this difficult situation. Thank you!
OMG that is so cool and it had me on stitches 😍
HILARIOUS in such a subtle manner!
This parody is the absolute best that I've heard of any song. I find myself coming back over and over to listen to it, it's brilliant!

It is highlight of the parodys .I have cracked up so much to Kiffness. Stay safe and well All.
All he had to tell the cops was "I didn't know what time it was"...they may have let him off :-)
Someone did I want to know what day it is a parody of I want to know what love is.

Well-done, and please keep more coming.
Thank you, dear, from Brooklyn, NY.

Beautiful.

The BEST of all the parodies I’ve heard! Absolutely delightful!
it's a little to fast to match the original tempo
OMH, I laid back in bed, thinking this would be a beautiful, calming song. All I did was laugh, thank you, needed the laugh more ❤️
