We are doomed.

[Richard Steele]

1. Dude, if you can't tell a mandolin from a banjo, you're too doomed for anyone to help you!

Mandolin...banjo...
Totally different heads- TOTALLY!

[speedoo]

2. Oh I know the difference.

But the delivery chap didn't. Now he knows, I'm sure.

[Richard Steele]

3. Well, let's hope he never mistakes them again! nm

[donheld]

4. So he's not from Alabama

So he's not lived with a banjo on his knee, so give him a little time to learn. :D

[opiate69]

5. Wow.. that's actually the first time I've heard that song..

and indeed it is pretty crap-tastic..

[Frank Cannon]

6. I'm guessing this is "Dance Tonight"

Ain't no way I'm clicking that link.

They're playing that goddam iPod commercial 40 times a night. It's everywhere.

Like my grandpa used to say, if you have to work that hard at selling something, it just ain't worth selling.

[speedoo]

7. It is.

The video version, as opposed to the Apple ad.

I had no intention of tricking anyone who does not like it into listening to it. If you don't like it, great. Just no need to say it more than a few times, wouldn't you agree?

[Frank Cannon]

14. ???

I'm not sure what you're getting at. I didn't mean to imply that you were "tricking" people into clicking your link. No one could ever be that cruel.

[speedoo]

15. Heh.

1. I have no idea what I'm getting at either, so don't worry about it.

2. I know you did not mean to imply anything.

3. Ummmm. I beg to differ with your last sentence. I've seen it done. Many times.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Jesus, that was pretty awful. What a shitty video.

The tune is kinda catchy, though. The words stink. The video fucking sucks.

Sir Paul - time to retire.

[gollygee]

9. The reviews were right!

that song sucks.

[underpants]

10. Garreth is now a postman???

:evilgrin:

[Bassic]

11. A mandolin sounds a lot better than a banjo does

:D

[ProfessorGAC]

12. I With You

I've got a nice one. Neither has much natural sustain, but at least a mando has some.

[Bassic]

13. Also, a banjo sounds a lot dryer than a mandolin

It's designed that way, I guess.

[Bake]

16. Ha! We banjo players scoff at your puny wooden instruments!

HA! Take that!

17. Unfreakingbelievable -- the video concept is a rip-off

I'm blown away...at least he didn't have to go far.

Compare:

George Harrison - I got my mind set on you
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmpG-ba4syQ

arrgghh it's driving me crazy trying to remember that song that has that same vocal where they go ooo-ooo-ooo-oooooo over and over again....in this song they do it at the end of every verse and it was a really popular song.

[ok_cpu]

20. I can hear the song you're talking about

but I can get the name either. Just that one little bit.

It's killing me...:crazy:

[idgiehkt]

21. It think it reminds me of this song

Matt Kearney - Nothing left to lose
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kgurEvegWI


I think this is fairly recent, actually...very pretty vocal.

[ok_cpu]

25. That's what was in my head too.

Thanks for ending the suffering.

:hi:

[idgiehkt]

26. yeah it's that

kind of 'howling' or whatever...for further reference, see the following:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58CZcCvwND4&mode=related&search=

:rofl:

I much prefer the Matt Kearney over the McCartney :hi:

[Greyskye]

18. would have been better...

... with a mandola or a bouzouki, instead of a mandolin.

Banjo's are right out.

IMHO.

[Inchworm]

19. If Jagger does it with a banjo...

I'm quitting :)

[hippiechick]

22. He ain't got nothing on 2 REAL mandolin players:

Chris Thile - of Nickel Creek
http://youtube.com/watch?v=zZJoqjNOSQM

http://youtube.com/watch?v=GQ9TYBjZs2k


and Beau Stapleton - formerly of Blue Merle
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Op-hZBOT4BI


Those boys iz da' shit! :applause:

[trof]

23. Right. Paul's a strummer, not a picker.

ANYBODY can strum.

[hippiechick]

24. So that means there's hope for me too?

I think mandolins - played correctly - are awesome! :)

[idgiehkt]

27. I like Rhonda Vincent's mandolin

this is a nice song (I don't know how she rates as a player but I like the way they use it in her band)
