Wilco Worshipper Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Funky IATTBYH Sent to me by an old high school friend who doesn't know Wilco but knows I KNOW Wilco! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 This is the most awesome cover ever! And it almost totally works, which I'm still scratching my head about. It's actually been around a little while, and there's an alternate version up on youtube which is more just a performance video. (The singer needs a bro/manzierre in that version, unfortunately.) But the guy's got balls, for sure! Was this really posted on Wilco's facebook page at one time? I could imagine that Jeff would absolutely LOVE this video! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's been posted here two or three times - since last summer, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 It's been posted here two or three times - since last summer, I think. Sorry, it was just sent to me tonight... EDIT: In my and my friend's defense, she got it from something that was just posted on Gimundo today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

choo-choo-charlie Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I've seen the in-studio/rehearsal version of this. The singer's got some serious man-boobies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thejokeexplained Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I've seen the in-studio/rehearsal version of this. The singer's got some serious man-boobies. i like it better then Wilco's version. I would love to see Wilco rework that song like this version live with the Calexico horns backing.

Guest Speed Racer Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 This cover gets worse not only every time I hear it, but also every time I think about those times I heard it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

OK, that'll be our official crazy ass fan request for Solid Sound--"Hey Wilco, Via Chicago wants you to do a funky soul version of IATTBYH!" (Just kidding. . . or am I?)

W(TF) Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Ummm.....disturbing. Still, I guess anything that brings black America closer to the Wilco fold can't be a bad thing. The lack of diversity at N.American Wilco shows is always a weirdout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MCHowdy Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Why does anyone think this is done well? It's pretty bad. Every single time it's posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shakespeare In The Alley Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I think it's a great cover, but I can see how others wouldn't much care for it. Regardless, I give them a lot of credit for making it their own instead of doing a straightforward cover. I think they released this as a single (or something like that) so Tweedy must approve of it.

I like the way their cover has evolved since it first made the rounds a year or so ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
