It has to sing Bob Marley's "Redemption Song" at least.

Well, they did do Don't Worry, Be Happy, though it isn't Marley.

Hmm, it can't really go wrong, though I'd really wish a Marley tune.

Ahhh, I found Bee Gees!!! "Melody Fair"

Brilliant!

And a suprisingly tight version of "California Dreamin'", even thought I don't like the original at all.

"Let It Be" - Beatles. Word.

Wow ... just listened to this and I'm sure glad I did. I'm gonna hafta retract my early comment about having a way to go, etc.. Not heard vocal emulation of this quality before, ever. Very, very cool.

The Youtube clip comments mention that the "guitar" solo is Realstrat, meaning computer-based software tone generation played from a keyboard! Man ... Jan Hammer, eat your heart out! I recently stumbled across a Realstrat rendition of "Cause We've Ended as Lovers" by Jeff Beck, which I link here in case anyone is interested in hearing it. It ain't Beck, but it's still pretty amazing, especially to keyboard players who like to emulate electric guitar solos.

Thanks for this!

A good rendition of the song Apologize, but it's a bit too quiet.

And a weirdish and kind of crappy We Are the Champions.
It's with Sweet Ann, no music though.

And a certain other song as well.

I'll look through the 70s, 80s, and 60s music threads to find songs to search for.

Lol, Quietus. Here's Stand by Me for you.

Some of those English pronunciations made me laugh.

**desert** · 03-19-2009, 03:47

You mean Engrish.

Thanks. (guh, why acappella....). "The Model" is another one.

There are many classic/hit pop songs, mainly under Luka Megurine and SweetAnn (other than Miku).

"Endless Love" - (Richie/Ross). LOL!!!

"Luka" - (Suzanne Vega). Awesome. Very well done.

"Karma Chameleon" - (Culture Club). I was expecting "Love is Love" first, because it's a ballad.

"Crazy For You" - (Madonna). Done by SweetAnn. I can barely hear the vocals.

"Heaven Is A Place On Earth" - (Belinda Carlisle). This one is well recorded.

"Time After Time" - (Cyndi Lauper).

"Somebody" - (Depeche Mode).

"About A Girl" - (Nirvana).
