Swann - Bobby Brown (Goes Down)

[@MrTheNugget]

One of my all time fave FZ songs covered by the exquisite Swann! Unlike most of Frank's work this is a very simple song to play on the guitar and is therefore ideal to learn for concerts at Church Halls and Old People's Homes. How I miss Uncle Frank, both as a musician and an original political thinker.

[@robertdyer8322]

Wow!! just....wow! I never thought anyone but Frank could pull this off. Swan... you are amazing! Thank you for doing this!!

[@tomspafford5368]

Greetings from 2023. Still loving this, so many years later

[@paulinebutcherbird]

I'm knocked out by this and think Frank - although he despised videos of songs in the main - would love it. Brilliant editing and depiction of the song. I'm disappointed I've arrived so late. Will check our your other work.

[@jeremystonecipher4159]

That was fantastic 👏👏👏👏

[@matthewperrier6147]

Good job !!! You display true art and talent to cover this Thank you

[@TheKwaze]

What a great version - I love that it's completely different to the original version.

[@nightgaunt800]

This is my favorite cover of any song ever.

[@HumanLikeMan]

Love it, totally different, keep his music alive!

[@brittneydirenzo2418]

[@c0wb0y2727]

this is sweet

[@SamuruJapon]

Magnifique, bel hommage au maître.

[@davell49]

So fantastic..!

[@spacegirlandthecowbo]

uncle frank was very very serious when he sang this .. especially ( as Jack pointed out ) when he performed at Church meetings or Old People's social clubs!

[@glinglin83]

great act, great cover, congrat ! you look to have fun ! how can people dislike this cover. She look to have fun that's the most important thing and people look to enjoy it what do you want more ?

[@mieldevries]

nice version!

[@SWANNMUSIC]

My EP "Show Me Your Love" is now available on iTunes ! "Bobby Brown (goes down)" included.

[@AdrianDiMatteo]

What a surprising choice for a cover! Ca me surprise que tu a choisi de faire un reprise of cette chanson! But I like it :)

[@museorpheo]

J'ai vendu des disques pendant 10 ans et je fais de la basse depuis 1996. Tant que je vivrai, personne n'aura le droit de dire du mal de Chloé Lenique, c'est comme ça.

[@Arendt-Foucault]

wow! I like it.

[@AMisfit]

I just discovered Swann by accident not too long ago while searching for Slayer's Angel of Death song on my phone's music downloading app... Okay, okay. Now I know what you're probably thinking. Slayer?. Look, I have a pretty wide range of musical tastes and Heavy Metal just happens to be among them so please, bear with me here. Anyways, I stumbled upon her Angel of Death tune and was immediately blown away at how beautiful of a song it is. Chloe's voice is just phenomenal and the guitar work on the song is just sheer ear candy. Being captivated I immediately watched her videos on KZbin. Not much info there, so I Googled Swann hoping to come up with her bio and discography and came up with Chloe Swann and a mere bit of added profesional info. Not bad however. Not bad at all. French, Beautiful, Guitarist, Song Writer and Composer. There's a lot of talent there. All I have left to say is keep it up Chloe. You're definitely going to very high places with that kind of talent. and you have definitely won yourself yet another fan. Yes, you're that good.

[@shipitintheremate]

Nothing wrong with some psycho emo metalcore or extreme black death rock, mixed up with some contemporary avante-garde and glitch noise-art. Those tastes in music and you're a regular son of a biiiiitch.

[@shipitintheremate]

I'm here because of your split the atom post.

[@AMisfit]

B uzzkill HA HA!!! No use being anonymous anymore I guess!!! Fuck it, I'm a Weirdo, Unconventional and Handsome Son of a Bizkit then!!! Oops, I meant Bitch........ And yes B, Noisia does know how to Drop some Heavy, Heavy Bass too.

[@SWANNMUSIC]

Thank you so much. It's very nice of you. Always good to hear that kind of stuff :) I'm releasing a self-produced vinyl of covers in September and i'm currently working on the 2nd album. Hope you'll like what's next ! ;) x

[@AMisfit]

Madame, I am blown away and am extremely honored that you replied to my comment. Thank you :) I would definitely Love to listen to your new music and download it to my iTunes file when it comes out. As I mentioned before, I really dig your voice and guitar playing (I too play guitar so I can pretty much recognize and appreciate good, talented musicianship). Your tunes are very well crafted, without a doubt due to your excellent song writing and musical skills. Oh and did I mention the excellent recording production done by the guys behind the soundboard? Yes Ma'am, sounds very clean. Finally Madame, If you ever decide to tour the States please, please make Las Vegas Nevada one of your destinations. I would really love to see you perform and experience your music live at least once in my life time. Once again, thank you ;)

[@ashleytart6365]

my favorite part is the shadpws and also the accent is super cute

[@standafan4141]

Swann, tu es très belle et talentueuse. Love ya

[@fliflo2]

Jadore !!

[@standafan4141]

Swann's got some very interesting choices like this one or Pierre Bachelet's Emmanuelle. I can't stand the latter but I can't stop listening to her cover. As far as Bobby Brown's concerned she makes it a little psychedelic and minimalist and that's the point, fed up with cocks on TV thinking the world is a karaoke machine. At least Swann gives her covers another spin. Love her work. And she's gorgeous too.

[@Scorpionswho]

Superbe reprise d'un morceau mythique. Tout est réussi dans l'interprétation, fallait oser défier le grand Frank Zappa, le résultat est excellent.

[@TheShagloop]

très cool!

[@TheShagloop]

Très chouette!

[@TinyFloyd]

nice job

[@mrh533]

The implications of this song are very interesting

[@andynicolet1498]

nice tune cover & video

[@hummingbird4444]

super voix

[@Alix777.]

Mais enfin mais pourquoi

[@daviddoucetmtl]

Mais malheureusement pas encore disponible sur Itunes Canada

[@robustelement]

I was brought here by Frank.

[@kirk8429]

sublimely hysterical

[@goatuscrow4135]

I wonder, wonder...

[@frankzappa4557]

Bad Zappa bad

[@kpteer]

This song is supposed to be funny, but you make it sound depressing.

[@Ivanatis]

excactly

[@frankzappaspussy7362]

who said that it is "supposed" to be anything.. it is what it is as a consequence of who is creating it and who is listening to it.. i think that it is all the more funny for introducing a darker and more depressing vibe..

[@Via-Media2024]

This is definitely funny....

[@jodelacruzrocks]

I was brought here by Freddie.

[@PHD18E]

Somptuous

[@theccpisaparasite8813]

what's their first language?

[@fuegoranou9705]

french, français

[@Luka_WiFi]

კაია

[@Ivanatis]

Frank would have hated it. And so do I. Please go away.

[@Some_S7IC]

Ivanatis how do you know if he would've like this or not

[@sapristioca1]

No creo

[@supermansdaddy7019]

+Ivanatis lmao says the guy who came here

[@seyhokaraaslan8166]

You take too much medicine

[@monoped8437]

exactly why he would have enjoyed it!

[@Vmaxi1200]

Anders aber gut.

[@Via-Media2024]

Millennial version.....

[@museorpheo]

Que devient Swann ?

[@goainge2]

Dreadful. It's too deep for your voice and you did not manage the groove at all. In addition, the mood is not right. It is not a sad or depressing piece.

[@leonidyevseyev888]

- have nothing against this video interpretation of the original song, BUT - if the girl was an American - it would have been MORE convincing! common, Bobby Brown is an American guy - HE HAS TO SPEAK (sing) with no accent! just mind this! the image you are trying to create has to have some level of authenticity. What would ruin the song, if a little Indian guy, or a Pakistani, with very little, or no, English - tried to sing this song --- this would have been a disaster! that's what I'm saying...

[@dwaynejane9840]

What kind of Shit is that

[@lucioluciolucio85]

Worst Zappa's cover ever made. This song should be happy and sarcastic, not depressing and sad

[@jeanlucferrigno5389]

there is a difference between sarcastic, depressing,sad..and blown out sensibility ,intelligence..and some sexyness...

[@brittneydirenzo2418]

Open that mind mannne

[@stephenmunson3020]

A song like this sung straight and sullen is ten times funnier and more effective than some cheesy smiling winking hombres playing it up. It passes for just a normal beautiful ballad until you finally catch on to the lyrics. This is genius. It was played often on french national radio JUST because it passed under the radar with it's low-key approach and that really made me smile. The male/female switch within the clip has got to make you 'get it?' No? Well done, Swann. Just as good as Uncle Frank's and I reckon he would have just given it a wry smile of appreciation.

[@synisterfish]

soulless and spiritless, relatively speaking..

[@synisterfish]

@@SuperBigWaveDave ... really? Didn't the mechanical music-box grid make you cringe? I just watched it again; it's fairly horrid.
