As much as I love the original, I like this more mellowed-out version more.

Hearing Colin and mulleted Ben take this on... it warms the coldest parts of my heart.

"Can you eat her/yes you can..." even Mr. Agreeable would give that lyric a nod.

Is there a mp3 of this floating around? My heart skipped a beat when I heard that they had done this.

right, i have nothing against anyone involved and i even secretly like the song in question, but seriously, that was horrible. like watching two mature students at an open mic night.

Wow. A lot of Gibbard head-bobbing action, there.

Does anyone know where to find an mp3?

A very enjoyable performance. I'm a big Blur fan, and I have no idea how anyone can say they 'fucked up' this song.
