Everybody Wants to Rule the World | Tears for Fears | funk cover ft. Cory Henry

[@jacksonbuller1707]

Dear Cory: You have no right to be that jaw-droppingly funky. Signed, everybody.

[@izecjaxn9971]

The AUDACITY!

[@markkubiak8296]

Sign me in, Man!!

[@TheDangerRandy]

I appreciate that my guy.

[@jonnyDmay]

Cory's phrasing on that vocal line; "... when the walls come tumble-ing down..." 😍

[@DarcyCrumb]

Like butter

@1:51

[@Mark-tm8fi]

Bro that bass player is one of the most solid players ive seen. every note he plays is so juicy, and he plays exactly what the song needs. love it!

[@thehighams]

Agreed, he's doing all that magic on a Squire Bass VI too, no thoughts, just vibes.

[@tedsmart5539]

Soloman has got the phat slaps!

[@bepitan]

@@thehighams seems too low for a baritone...is it going through an octaver?

[@bmcfarland96]

I’ve never seen anyone use a Bass VI to actually play bass, that’s sick as hell

[@gbkiet]

@@bepitan its a six string bass that is 30 something inch scale and looks like a jazzmaster type electric :) big props to bassist for actually rocking that thing

[@Gogogamer123]

This guy is 100% under the influence of a groove.

[@Benisuber1]

The drums coming in was incredible.

[@nico.m8346]

He sure warmed up as the song went along.

[@Alk333_fan]

That’s Louis Cato. He was with Snarky Puppy for a bit, and puts out some great insta content.

[@ThePoodleStrudel]

Louis Cato - also the guitarist for Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Jean Batiste and Stay Human band). These people are so talented!

[@dpalma86]

What snare is that?

[@aidanschram9652]

Louis Cato can basically play any instrument and sing, too much talent 🥵🥵

[@Laochraiceann]

The quality of musicianship in pockets covers is mind boggling.

[@tedhastings8828]

My dad died in April. He loved this song. Thank you for this lovely memory.

[@erix1971]

My condolences… this is such a lovely interpretation - he would have loved this one too! Stay strong.

[@odaneeubank697]

So true

[@breearbor4275]

the drummer and bassist absolutely killed it, this groove is amazing

[@ondolite3789]

Guitarist is important also. This is Fela Kuti style afrobeat.

[@davidschwartzberg9534]

The drums are so tight- best Ive ever heard...no hyperbole. Unreal

The crazy part is that's not his best instrument.

[@davidbyers1151]

Check out Louis Cole. Also funky and tight.

[@xbotseven5400]

these drum sticks.. playing with bass and guitar.. wounderful.. (btw 2nd keys nearly dies listening to corey haha)

Cory Henry and Louis Cato. The world just can’t get any funkier now - I couldn’t take it.

[@AndrewBakke]

It don't vibe any harder than this.

[@daankarstens5118]

Once you add Vulfpeck i think its gonna _Get FUNKIER_

[@Intermernet]

I definitely heard the next pop. The funk shall now be within me me.

[@arnebey]

Folks, that's Louis Cato thowin it down funky-big-time on drums! He's Cobert's band leader after Jon Batiste left. You usually see him with a guitar! WOW! Unbelievable groove!

[@tedwilliams185]

He was the first drummer of Snarky Puppy.

[@MrDangerousshark]

Y'all got Cory Henry?!?! So stoked for y'all!

[@TylerBrainerd]

I actually asked him about this when I saw him in 2019. He said he was trying to get schedules worked out with Scary Pockets, so glad it finally happened. BTW the other thing I asked about was a Cory Henry/Vulpeck tour, which he is also into... someday.

Cory is a keyboard beast. Everybody knows that. This man can sing! He's a better singer than a lot of artists with hit songs. Big names, I'm talking about. Get this man an album of pop songs to "Cory-fy." STAT!

[@bisratezra8247]

Coryfy! Yes!

[@kathybramley5609]

He should be at least as well known as Ed Sheeran!! Or Jacob Collier, not sure if he is!? But that pressure is a bit ... another thing, being a *big star* compared to a slightly underrated genius phenomenon whom musicians admire and want to play with! The latter cosy niche is probably much more inherently rewarding.

[@remcotauran5273]

nothin like it. I knew a guy who sawed off the legs of his so he could load it in the back of his blazer and take it to gigs.

[@josefgordon7712]

Singers, bass players, guitar players, keyboard players. Lol the dude is so dope

[@SolidSmashies]

Heard he got a new gig 👀

[@victoriabell9546]

This has to be one of my new favorite versions of this song! It gives me major Curtis Mayfield and Marvin Gaye vibes, and especially Cory Henry's voice!

[@MauriceOdell-y4l]

Donny Hathaway tones and vibrato here and there also. Whew crazy

[@michaelcorts1870]

Cory Henry keeps getting better at singing! love to see the versatility.

[@alexd9341]

Right!? He clearly has been working on his chops.

I keep coming back to this video. Can't believe Cory Henry's performance or Louis Cato on drums. Unbelievable.

[@josh123guy]

Made my morning. I can hear Jack saying.... "YUS! More of that!" Cory's vocal's keep getting better and better!

[@theoya]

Saw Cory Henry and couldn't click fast enough. While he was as incredible as I expected I wasn't ready for the drums and bass. Holy cow was that some crispy snare.

[@shrimptunes3463]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it looks like a DynaSonic tuned, miked and played to perfection!

[@patoques]

This is the next level after the next level of good music.

[@AMTunLimited]

This brings me back so much. I used to play and sing this EVERY NIGHT in piano bars and gigs.

[@devgupta9206]

Cory Henry and Luis Cato ruled the world and Solomon Dorsey, Jack Conte, and Ryan Lerman let them run wild in vibing into another dimension.

[@johnlightle4245]

I'm feeling that "woo" at 4:35. This is truly among the all-time scariest of pockets.

I've watched ALL Scary Pocket's videos. With respect to previous featured musicians, Cory really takes you to the next level. Keep it up!!

[@joeyyoumans5253]

SCARY HENRY. CORY POCKETS. Man, I used to skip opera history to listen to Cory Henry and the Funk Apostles and Snarky Puppy. When he preaches his sermons on that organ it's enough to make this agnostic feel the gospel.

[@nathanwafflart4199]

Ok if we're talking about an all star lineup of pure funk?? This is it right here.

The bass is straight up killing everybody [queue Gary Oldman in Léon: The Professional] EVERYYBODYYYYY. The drums were insane, Cory just ... I don't know there's no more words at this point. Dude !!! Your library of covers is great but this one was beyond that.

[@duncangrant4580]

This is simply sublime. Also, amazing to think the original hammond organ technology is approx. 90years old. Let that sink in. It is and will remain such a unique sound, even in it's modern digital format.

Older if you start with the Cahill Telharmonium.

[@zacharyjakubiak3949]

[@filipkosmalla6252]

@@6strbassplayer when it comes to bass vi there's not much choice out there. It's either super cheap chinese copies, Harley Benton (not that bad), Squier, then Fender, and then we go into super expensive territory that I haven't checked yet

Holy crap! That was sick. I love that song. Special place in my heart for Tears for Fears over the years. I was curious to see how you guys would "funk" this one. Man, it started out fine. No surprises. I was excited to see the organ. And then at around 2:20, this just exploded in an unexpected direction. So good. Lean but tight drums, cool bass cooking along, enough rhythm guitar to fill it in and that organ setting the world on fire. BAM!
