No one here has seen Zodiac, eh?

That's why this chestnut is getting some airplay these days. See the movie, then listen to it again, folks.

If I HAD to be there, I probably wouldn't be. I would choose to be somewhere else.

Most excellent indeed! His taking voice is hypnotic and the song is killer. Pooh-pooh on the pooh-poohers! They should all go back to their Fall Out Boy websites where they belong.

This has got the be the most comments for a song's initial playing I've seen on RP.
Not sure if that's good or bad.

Hahaha...I almost gave it a 2 just for the fun of it.

But, I went with my first instinct 1.

I thought the CD was skipping...

"Voice as an instrument...", NOT!

Try Liz Fraser.

If this is a greatest hit, I'd hate to hear his bad stuff! :o

The only time I've heard a live hurdy gurdy, it produced a vibrato effect.

Absolutely the most cringe-worthy song I've ever heard.

The Hurdy Gurdy Man likes to grunt and talk out loud to himself. This is pathetic

Think of his voice as an instrument, in it's own right. As for the song, ya got me!
