I laughed... I was at a Divine Comedy gig a while back and his amp was going a bit funny so while they had to fiddle around with it he started playing "Postman Pat, Postman Pat... Postman Pat had a black and white cat...". He's lovely irl, according to my sister! She told him that I've always said when I have a song in my head the National Express always makes it disappear, to which he replied "Oh yes, just replace one crappy song with another!" I love Neilly. :)
This is amazing, I don't know how anyone could really disagree with this? His voice really does a lot more for me than Josh Homme (as much as i love the QOTSA) and I love its folky element. More please!!
This is a wonderful cover, and gives what is already a fantastic song a huge amount of depth "Violin!" Mosquito song with an orchestral vent would be amazing.
I absolutely love this version, as do the QotSA version. I think what i love about this version is you can individual pick out the notes where in heavy rock they are very clusted as 'power chords' I think its a fraction slower too. Oh come on it makes Banjos cool! I mean im a massive fan of DC (come on bring out some new stuff though) and found QotSA via this cover. Weird that! Oh and for the record, nothing is ever 'better' then the original.
@jiok84 Though I agree 100% with everything you said, I must point something. TDC is not a rock band and their music is not supposed to be rock. This is a cover, and I don't think it's supposed to sound powerful as the QOTSA version. It's a very funny version of a very good song just for the pleasure of singning a good song.
Very cool rendition. What's he talking about before they play the song though? Am I just not familiar with his sense of humour? I'm pretty positive Josh Homme and Mark Lanegan wrote the song...
@Mista117 lol pompus was the only word i could think of, i was just being a prick. anyway.... ive been a guitarit for about 8 years, theres nothing better on earth is there?
@jiok84 please tell me you didnt just write that comment. you thinl people dont know this isnt queens of the stone age? do you know what the purpose of a cover is????
genious stuff, ok so hanlon seems like he is up his own arse, but his stuff is real, there is so much fake shit out there right now, I love 'a lady of a certain age', love any tune got soul
I think he's very self-aware with that ego, he definitely was when he was trying to be a star but at this point he pokes fun at himself (at this concert he even says "oh look at him, back with his ego again.")
@RcEdits No, 3 and a half years. that and i had to compare this to the original as part of my diploma...i only put as a guitarist because the original is a rock band therefore if i put what i put without it its just another person who knows nothing about music or orchestration. it wasnt meant to sound pompus, plus who uses the word pompus anymore...
It's shocking...it's muddled and awkward and at best, really doesn't suit the divine comedy. Just because they have a small orchestra it doesn't mean you automatically have to say you like it more than the original....it doesn't make you a better person.

Love the Divine and love Queen of the Stone Age!!! Never thought the two would meet... and there you have it, thanks Mr. Hannon!

i love queens of the stone age and the divine comedy, this version is fabulouse!
I'm a big fan of QotSA, and I have to say, this was just amazing.
that's really awesome! neil hannon is the most charming person in music
Neil Hannon is so wonderfully quirky he's more quirk than man.
He speaks so sincerely I believed him about the Heinz Wolff thing for a second.
This is amazing, I don't know how anyone could really disagree with this? His voice really does a lot more for me than Josh Homme (as much as i love the QOTSA) and I love its folky element. More please!!

Mosquito song with an orchestral vent would be amazing.
I am glad you found this. You will be pleased with the rest, I hope.
This is a song by QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE from an album called SONGS FOR THE DEAF,it rocks...
Just brilliant, 5 stars. wonderful version of it.
It's interesting how well the song translates over. Took me aback somewhat. Good song, in both permutations.
seeing them at somerset house in july. im massively happy.
awesome version, genius
Genioussss!!!!! Awsome man!!!
Neil has made me learn how to feel again.
OUTSTANDING!
amazing! the haters are pure heavy rock fans..
like this bands music wY back and still sound good
Love it!!!!!!! 😊
I absolutely love this version, as do the QotSA version.

great man brillant version
LMAO ! Excelent!
1:27 starts the song
great great great!!
this is pure class exellent
As a guitarist, i really like this... its different but good different :)
Genius.
Took me a second to realize he was kidding about the heinz wolf cabaret writer originally writing the song.

meeting neil in a few weeks , looking forward to it !
why the banjo 5 min odd. everthing else i love.
I tried to find the original he mentions but just kept getting vids of cats on pogo sticks.
My only complaint is the levels on the vocals.
A gentleman
amen.
@Mista117 lol pompus was the only word i could think of, i was just being a prick. anyway.... ive been a guitarit for about 8 years, theres nothing better on earth is there?
Hmm...maybe a team up of The Divine Comedy and Queens of the Stone Age? Just a though.
Both versions of this song sound good, at least to me
stupenda
@Mista117 as a guitarist? you made that sound really pompus, have you been a guitar for like 5 minutes?
@jiok84 please tell me you didnt just write that comment. you thinl people dont know this isnt queens of the stone age? do you know what the purpose of a cover is????
check out Andrew Balkwill - No One Knows
Yeah, he's just joking around with that story. :)
Je pense que c'est vrais, Alannathegirl.
just a question, the history of "heinz wolf" is real? but i don't know
no one knows
this guy looks like a mix of daniel radcliffe, daniel craig and vladimir putin xdd
I can see a bit of Joe Gilgun in there too. (The guy who played Woody in This is England)
and the voice of Jim Morisson...somehow.....
Lena Flannagan ??? Nah. He has a good voice and its quite deep but nowhere near as good as Jim's !
as you wish,mate! i was just a bit ironic concerning the comments above ;)
still, he has quite a similar voice as Morrisson had:) but the way he looks like...... who cares?
Incredible version. Simply brilliant !
Of course he's joking, Josh Homme made that song.
genious stuff, ok so hanlon seems like he is up his own arse, but his stuff is real, there is so much fake shit out there right now, I love 'a lady of a certain age', love any tune got soul
I think he's very self-aware with that ego, he definitely was when he was trying to be a star but at this point he pokes fun at himself (at this concert he even says "oh look at him, back with his ego again.")
No one knows when or where the 8 people above had their sense of humour removed
great version, but I miss coked out of his mind josh speaking during the song
@RcEdits No, 3 and a half years. that and i had to compare this to the original as part of my diploma...i only put as a guitarist because the original is a rock band therefore if i put what i put without it its just another person who knows nothing about music or orchestration. it wasnt meant to sound pompus, plus who uses the word pompus anymore...
excelent o c*ar*alho !!! o gajo não sabe cantar********
Queens of the stone age rulam
Jesus Christ, I think this is the most awful and abrasive thing The Divine Comedy have ever managed to produce.
good version but his singing is awful
It's shocking...it's muddled and awkward and at best, really doesn't suit the divine comedy.
Just because they have a small orchestra it doesn't mean you automatically have to say you like it more than the original....it doesn't make you a better person.
wasnt that impressed sorry.
