[@carlwerth]

This is jaw droppingly fantastic. Thank you!

[@-ooooooooooo]

I love the original and this version is just astounding

[@BM_24]

A really great cover! It gives a new perspective on this song.

0:53 - I absolutely love that you left in the stutter

[@Greenp1g]

Amazing! Can't wait to hear the LP!

[@robf1970]

I love the way you bring out the melody in the original. Can't wait to hear more!

It's like.... almost more schizophrenic than the original record is schizophrenic

I memorised this track years ago, and can still baffle people with it. Well done!

Awesome :D I memorized just a part of "Old fart at play", even recorded a little video on my channel. "Cleverly he dialed from within, from the outside we observed, that nose of the wooden mask, where the holes had just been a moment ago, was now smooth and amazingly blended, camouflaged in with a very intricate rainbow trout replica. The old fart was now breathing freely, from his perfumed, atomizer, air bulb invention. His excited eyes, from within the dark interior, glazed, watered in appreciation, of his thoughtful preparation."

​@@aakkoin Excellent! That really makes me want to memorize more of the Captains poetry! Some of it is pretty challenging, which makes it even more fun. Another very challenging band, lyrics wise, is Cardiacs. Sometimes the sequence of words just don't go together at all, but other times attempting to sing some of their lyrics involves long drawn out words, changing pitch. Have a listen to the last part of a song called Jitterbug. Even with the lyrics in front of you, it's a major challenge singing it. I'll check out your channel 😎👍

@@jeffreybarton1297 I like the sentence: "She had just recognized herself to be an HEIR!!!!! ...to the throne.

[@jeffreybarton1297]

​@@aakkoin Yes! Don was a real poet, with some genius word play.

[@aakkoin]

@@jeffreybarton1297 And it's funny! There's alot of humor in Beefheart, even if it's pretty dark and weird, and it's coupled with some heavy themes. Zappa in comparison is more like a joke, like children's music🙃 Don also had a childlike playfulness to his stuff, but at the same time I find it very thoughtful and mature. Don is the man💪

What's he holding? A tin teardrop?

[@glortora-morilya1337]

That's right

[@oldmeninchairs3365]

Absolutely brilliant. If I do a reaction to it will it clear copyright?

[@davidminnick]

Hi, thank you! It should; the Gs recorded every track themselves. The original recording of the song doesn’t appear at all.

[@oldmeninchairs3365]

@@davidminnick OK I will give it a try. I love your work!

[@davidminnick]

Thank you! Much appreciated!

[@oldmeninchairs3365]

@@davidminnick So I just posted my reaction to your track. I added some lyrics and even included a short excerpt of the Captain for context. It all cleared copyright! I hope it helps. Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the album!

[@davidminnick]

Thank you!! I’ll check it out soon! Much appreciation for doing this!
