Having listened to "Psycho Killer" by The Talking Heads, I have to say that I was not a huge fan of the song. However my favorite band "Cage the Elephant did an amazing cover. They kept the same lyrics, but when lead singer Matt Schultz belts out vocals (with his distinct voice) it allows this song to have some relevance. The acoustic bass is a huge success, as it is one of the first times I have actually heard/seen it. Cage the Elephant you have succedeed, in making this song "Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Fa Better" than the original.
Here is Cage the Elephant's version...
Here's the original...
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
I started to like cage the elephant within the last year or so. I never heard any of their acoustic stuff, but it sounds really cool. I play the guitar and drums so I really appreciate the whole live music thing. Good Stuff!
