Exactly. Everyone seems to be basing it on prior hatred of the song... like "LOL obviously I didn't like SBM, so now that's out the way." It's like an in-joke.

I think it's the best non-cover in Uke Dongs. I like it a lot. I'm guessing people don't like the full-band version because it probably feels redundant.
Yeah, I'm a fan of it on Uke Songs but I'm not impressed with them including it on LB.

Ahh! I like what I'm hearing there! Regardless of whether or not it should be on the album, it's going to be a nice song.
Fake.

I'm not sure. I'm guessing its:

1) resentment on its inclusion
2) nothing really added to the original version
3) seems wildly out of place on the album
4) some people didn't care for the original version

Judging by the poll in the original SBM thread, most people really liked it.

If it sounded anything like that I would love it.
+1

Mike, can you make an 8-bit version with a normal voice over?
I wouldn't know how to remove the Uke if thats even possible. I just sometimes fool around in Cubase a little. :lol: I don't know much about audio-stuff.
OK, can you try making your added keys 8-bit?

And then we all go "I'll dig your grave, we'll dance and and sing":

I made this space version for you. Maybe you will like that. I'll...better go to sleep now.
