Earbrass Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 I've heard this done a bit with morris and folk tunes - usually a major tune changed into a minor one. Great way to give a new perspective to familiar material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassace Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Don't like it! It has no soul, just a guy singing a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thisnameistaken Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Hmm. I imagine that was technically difficult to do, so well done to whoever did it, but the outcome is pretty plain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much nicer. Edit - now someone switch " Shiny Happy People" into minor. That'd be a real blast....
