Guys, c'mon. Covers by Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox are not meant to be replicas of the original. They are famous because they rework modern songs into the vintage sounds of jazz and swing. It's truly unique and quite impressive. The band and rotating vocalists are actually pretty damn incredible. Girlfriend and I saw them at an old theater here in Santa Barbara and we were blown away walking out of there that night. It was pure entertainment. Excellent musicians and a comedy show in between songs. Each vocalist truly has some pipes.
Their cover choices might not appeal to most of the DMB fanbase, but just the idea and production behind the whole thing is great IMO. You have to appreciate good talent when you see it.
I suggest watching some of their other covers on YouTube. They release a new one each week and many are filmed in a single take. Check out
Stacy's Mom by Fountains of Wayne,
Radiohead's Creep,
All About That Bass,
Macklemore's Thrift Shop,
Blurred Lines,
Sweet Child O' Mine, etc. Newest:
Shaggy - It Wasn't Me
Highly suggest catching them on tour if they come anywhere near your home. You won't regret it!
