Not bad, but I turned it off when they started adding their own bits that weren't in the original song.

Original was arguably the best song of 2009. I have the Owl City album, and it rocks.

I dig this and them, allot. By them adding their own flavor to the original, they are making it their own, which is what you are supposed to do when you cover someone else's material. Great version.

I agree. I just got introduced to this group from another fb friend and they really bring back the 60s and 70s group feel to me.

I agree! His voice is beyond terrible too. He just sounds so "white" for lack of a better word. LOL. His entire singing voice is affected.

This cover is actually pretty good though!

Define "sounds so white". I don't get it? If a person can sing, they can sing.

You got me! Well it's impossible to sound "white" since your skin has nothing to do with your vocal chords, BUT I just knew Owl City was white when I heard him on the radio without seeing him. I personally hate his style of singing and much prefer the cover you posted above.

owl city cannot sing. (technically)

his voice is digitally altered.

a lot of people dont realize that autotune isnt meant to sound like a robot. if used in a professional manner it can be very subtle.

i actually like the way autotune sounds i just dont like a lot of music made by artists who favor it,
