IMNSHO, no one can match Ella. She is my guru (?). And she was a GREAT human being.

I think this is a really good try, but the original is still better.

Ok, I suppose it’s not entirely a fair question since Neeson wasn’t singing.

I am convinced that Eighties Music led to stalking and the “Nice Guy” trope seen so often today.

Lucy_Gothro1 · January 21, 2021, 1:13am

Um…stalking’s been around a LOT longer than that…even in music.

Rick Springfield doesn’t hold a candle to Tommy Tuntone.

Lucy_Gothro1 · January 21, 2021, 5:24am

Or John Lennon.

The melody is so happy but the lyrics are among the saddest.

The Hu outdoes Metallica on their own song.

As much as I love the original - I was a high-schooler back then and it has real nostalgia value. That voice, those lines. But the way the Hu does it almost makes the original seem weak by comparison, which is really something when you’re talking about metal.

I love the Hu! Which is funny, because I also love the Who!
