You wanna know it’s like to be the guy to sing in a song cover like this? It’s basically what life is like when stuff just “works”, the real guys that deserve the kudos are these 3 fantastic gentlemen that made the process so straightforward and enjoyable for me 👏 But big thanks for all the lovely comments 🙏 While I’m at it, if you wanted to know more about what it’s like, here’s a behind the scenes video 🤓 th-cam.com/video/xLa4MhbWM7Q/w-d-xo.html
You sneaky bugger Crafty! You’ve been keeping quiet with your vocal talent 👍 Awesome job mate. A surprise always makes my Sat morning even better with SingitLive. 👌
Thank you. I can now tick Crafty singing lead off my wish list. Excellent Crafty. You should sing more often. I will watch the BTS later. The cover was excellent.
The Breakfast Club is a great movie and this is a great song. Really full sound with just the four of you - we get to appreciate Damo's bass and nobody steps on each others frequency range.
Wow! Crafty on vocals was such an awesome surprise! Not to mention you guys performed a flawless version of a classic and didn't need a stage full of 14 people competing for attention. 4 artists, great energy, massive talent!!!
REALLY, and he can sing too? A true sleeper! Great job Crafty, Darren and Singit Live crew! It's 1985 and my fist is raised in the air in respect to you guys and the Breakfast Club! Thanks again for the great Friday night 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Crafty you are freaking awesome this really threw me for a loop when at first, I was anticipating Darren taking the lead on vocals. I literally had to do a double take when I realized it truly was crafty singing lead." LOVE, LOVE, LOVED "it. Bravo your positive and vibrant energy always shines brightly when you participate in singitlive productions and even more so here with you singing lead.
Damo and Mario chugging along keeping the rhythm section tight, Crafty finally upfront on Vox, and Darren with the side to side head banging... SWEET! God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏
My dad used to tell me, don't worry too much. The past is over and the future hasn't happened yet.. Singit Live and the entire crew is a weekly reminder to throw away the garbage, enjoy the soulful music and embrace the love. Thumbs-up to Crafty for giving us another side of his musical talents.
Mario Marino really stands out here. Shuffley little number with a great driving rock feel that requires some pretty nifty footwork. Well done indeed, great chops!
Great work guys! And Crafty taking a lead vocal. A nice change up for the SingitLive crew. Such a full sound for a four piece, just shows what you can do. Loved Darren smiling almost like a proud dad :)
In the behind-the-scenes footage on Crafty’s channel, Darren shares that he doubled Crafty’s guitar-playing by placing it in both left & right channels in post, hence the lusher sound-but still really impressive, seeing how it’s just 4 people in the room! 🎸 😮 🤘
Dazza realized he was on a winner with his smiles early in this song, KraftI did an excellent job with the vocals and the band did the rest....Loved it....😊
Amazing vocals Crafty! Wonderful and excellent work by Darren and all as usual. Also great to see Damien! He's usually lurking in the back! :D Nice to see you front and center!
Craffty has a great voice,never knew he can sing like that and he looks so cool in those sunglasses. This is brilliant,much better than the original. Thanking You Hazel in the UK 🇬🇧
Crafty, you NAILED this solid. What makes the original so perfect is the relentless, almost mechanical drums/bass groove to include the perfect fills. Damien and Mario, you took this all the way to the house and back. WELL DONE.
I knew Crafty could sing, but I didn't know what a lovely mellow tone his voice has. I think he'd do an an awesome job of some Bowie classics. Just saying.... :-) Good job all.
Crafty wowee you had us all dancing in the kitchen tonight!! Darren we loved it, spot on!!! Damien the girls loved the cap and scarve very chic, and always the drummer King Mario!! Sing It Live does it again!! 👏👏😊
I take my hat off to all of you! I am a massive Simple Minds fan. I’ve heard many covers over the years but none have captured the essence of Jim Kerr’s delivery….until now! Great work Crafty! It’s taken almost 40 years for me to accept a cover but you have passed with flying colours. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
Great vocal Crafty...close eyes and all those great scenes from The Breakfast Club come to life. Awesome all round and Darren getting into it having fun...excellent. Iconic song and brilliant take on it.
Who woulda thunk it. this one has everything even Crafty singing Jim Kerr like.Huge keys, rock solid bass, and a close up of the twirl. What's not to love.
What an AMAZING surprise this is! Extremely Well Done Crafty One ! What a great job by you gentleman doing so much with just 4 of you. So who’s next, Mario or Damien? What a gold mine that small room is. Each instrument playing equally great parts along with Crafty & Darren’s vocals was excellent I tell you, EXCELLENT!! Thank You fellas
I think the reason that most bands dont cover this song is Jims great vocals , that truely made this song a classic - but I must say that Crafty smashed it. I think this is one of the best covers around. Darrens production was superb again. The whole band are just so talented.
Nicely done Crafty! Thanks for taking us back Darren! Loving the stick twirling Mario. #SingItLive #CrafyMusicMan #Producernerd #MarioMarino #BassGoose
Outstanding as always. So much good here, but I do wanna point out the absolute chill drummer. I love a good flashy drummer smashing things now and again but this cat just casually nails the song.

Good work man
50 hours is a short time to prepare. Darren is such a taskmaster!
Bravo Crafty
Crafty, tell Darren to pin this comment! 📍
As a Scotsman who loves simple minds….that was pretty friggin epic…great job guys…and great sound!
I'm an Irish man living in England listening to Aussie guys playing a fabulous track by a Scottish band. Now that's what I call International!
Dude; that is funny! I think Quentin Tarentino can come up with some sort of movie about it. Hey, Thanks for the chuckles dude. 🙂
I didnt know Simple Minds were Scots.. I learnt something new today
@@stephenwallace7288 Since 1977 :)
bunch a white dudes ;)
english-speaking...
I NEVER THOUGHT CRAFTY COULD ACTUALLY SING HE'S FANTASTIC.
Crafty !!!! Perfect voice for this song 👍
💯 Like a glove! 🧤 (not like OJ’s 😂)
As I was listening to Crafty, I thought his timbre would also lend itself well to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy.” 🤣
Waooooooo!
You sneaky bugger Crafty! You’ve been keeping quiet with your vocal talent 👍
Awesome job mate.
A surprise always makes my Sat morning even better with SingitLive. 👌
Saturday for you, Friday night for me!
Agreed, distinct and enjoyable voice!
Does that make him a Crafty bugger?
Awesome rendition and perfectly done😊❤
Crafty can sing !! It’s like one of those sleeper cars. You see them quietly coasting and all of a sudden BOOM it goes 130 MPH 😅 good job mate !!
Are you telling me that THIS MUCH great music is coming from FOUR guys?? Unbelievable!
The man has an amazing voice, plays the guitar like a pro and manages his own hair. The man is just the package.
His voice is not that good tbh
Thank you. I can now tick Crafty singing lead off my wish list.
Excellent Crafty. You should sing more often.
I will watch the BTS later.
The cover was excellent.
Yeah!
The Breakfast Club is a great movie and this is a great song. Really full sound with just the four of you - we get to appreciate Damo's bass and nobody steps on each others frequency range.
This was fantastic, but I'm so old, I remember when songs like this came out on their own... There was no "Breakfast Club" yet. Great job, Crafty!
yep great comment. ...Darins past band now has become full blown orchestra really can't tell who is playing what. Keep it simple works the best!
Wow! Crafty on vocals was such an awesome surprise! Not to mention you guys performed a flawless version of a classic and didn't need a stage full of 14 people competing for attention. 4 artists, great energy, massive talent!!!
The way the band plays sounds very close to the original recording.
as good as original. takes me back to the 80's again. im 67 now, but still enjoy classic 80's great job guys
Me2222222222 the best 80s 😊
80's F O R E V E R !!!
Crafty stepping up on lead vocals on one of the most iconic movie soundtrack songs from the '80s. Great job!
What is the movie, please? I love this song.
@@diegolima8755 The Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club
Fabulous movie too
uhmm... that caught me by surprise. His voice was perfect for this song. Good as always.
Crafty bringing the powerful vocals, love it !!!! Awesome job gentlemen !!!
Crafty rocks the lead! And love the camera work as Mario lays down the iconic fill! Go Sing it Live 🤘🏼
REALLY, and he can sing too? A true sleeper! Great job Crafty, Darren and Singit Live crew! It's 1985 and my fist is raised in the air in respect to you guys and the Breakfast Club! Thanks again for the great Friday night 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great cover ! Top vocals ! 👍👍🇦🇺
Four guys, huge sound. Crafty you crushed it! Everyone was spot on. Thanks mates! ❤
Definitely an example of what a great Cover sounds like
EXCELENT JOB !!!! that guy is pretty Crafty on the vocals lol . Well done all !!
Ooooh look at you go!! Crafty the singerrrrrr. Nice one. I should’ve interviewed you for the BTS! 😂
Would have been cool. Next time...
Crafty you are freaking awesome this really threw me for a loop when at first, I was anticipating Darren taking the lead on vocals.

WEPA!
This is a bass and drum tune; Mario and Damien ran a clinic. Great feel.
My dad used to tell me, don't worry too much. The past is over and the future hasn't happened yet.. Singit Live and the entire crew is a weekly reminder to throw away the garbage, enjoy the soulful music and embrace the love. Thumbs-up to Crafty for giving us another side of his musical talents.
Nice job Crafty, voice is perfect for this one.
3:45 might be pop musics greatest drum fill and dude just nailed it. Another great post. What a nice father's day gift.
Crafty is becoming one of my favorite TH-cam personalities. He just loves life! The band brings life every Friday! Thanks
Hey Crafty, absolutely fantastic version......please give us some more of your vocals.
Great job Crafty and Sing it Live. Bringing it week after week
Mario Marino really stands out here. Shuffley little number with a great driving rock feel that requires some pretty nifty footwork. Well done indeed, great chops!
And he's freaking reading it!!! Mad respect.
Great work guys! And Crafty taking a lead vocal. A nice change up for the SingitLive crew. Such a full sound for a four piece, just shows what you can do. Loved Darren smiling almost like a proud dad :)

Absolutely nailed this song. Crafty needs to be upfront on a David Bowie song….I can hear so much Bowie in his voice it’s insane 👏👏👏
I agree 100%
Exactly
Great job Crafty!!!!!! Didn't know you could sing like that. Man-what a nice surprise!
Amazing the amount of sound you get from a four-piece band.
Duuuudes !!!!
Crafty, A Home Run!!!! Need More!!
Dazza realized he was on a winner with his smiles early in this song, KraftI did an excellent job with the vocals and the band did the rest....Loved it....😊
Fabulous! Crafty, you’ve gone and done it now! We will expect much more of you on lead vocals! You are just too cute! ❤
Amazing vocals Crafty! Wonderful and excellent work by Darren and all as usual. Also great to see Damien! He's usually lurking in the back! :D Nice to see you front and center!
Crafty!!!! Excellent!
Crafty has talent, class and vocals. Well done sir.
KILLLLLLED IT! 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥 Y'all gotta do "Tainted Love" Soft Cell with Crafty on lead! 🎤👏🏾
Good one! 😃 💯
Official song of the 80s.. Nicely done
HOT DAMN!!
Crafty steps into the spotlight and smashes it!!
Everybody take a bow, that was perfect!
It's 1985, the island of Paros, Greece, and a fishing boat is just off the beach blasting this song. Thanks for the flashback and memories.
Craftys voice should be playing on the radio now. I'm surprised some big time group hasnt picked him up and make him their front man.
Craffty has a great voice,never knew he can sing like that and he looks so cool in those sunglasses.
This is brilliant,much better than the original.
Thanking You
Hazel in the UK 🇬🇧
I knew Crafty can play guitar but never thought he,could sing like this.Briliant
Theme song of the 80s. Love it!
wow, crafty!
Thank you for taking me back to the summer of '85! Too many great memories to mention...and this brought them all flooding back! 💙💙💙
80's , Breakfast Club, Simple Minds Just brings out the feeling from my youth,
Brilliant positive vibes
Crafty, you NAILED this solid. What makes the original so perfect is the relentless, almost mechanical drums/bass groove to include the perfect fills. Damien and Mario, you took this all the way to the house and back. WELL DONE.
If I didn't know them and you told me this is the original band, I would believe you 100%!
1985 - "The Breakfast club" - What a great version - Well done to the "Fab Four" on a tight production. 👏👏👏👌👌👌🎤🎶
Wow what a voice! “Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty!”……
I knew Crafty could sing, but I didn't know what a lovely mellow tone his voice has. I think he'd do an an awesome job of some Bowie classics. Just saying.... :-) Good job all.
Crafty wowee you had us all dancing in the kitchen tonight!! Darren we loved it, spot on!!! Damien the girls loved the cap and scarve very chic, and always the drummer King Mario!! Sing It Live does it again!! 👏👏😊
That is super.
Love Crafty! Great song!
Wowwwwww...!!!! Great song and magnificent performance. Love this iconic song of the 80´s Regards from Mexico. Keep going Singit Live😀👍
Great work Crafty
I take my hat off to all of you! I am a massive Simple Minds fan. I’ve heard many covers over the years but none have captured the essence of Jim Kerr’s delivery….until now! Great work Crafty! It’s taken almost 40 years for me to accept a cover but you have passed with flying colours. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
High praise! 👌
If this song don't get you putting on your "joggers" to go and "seize the day" nothing will, love it ♥
And that's what just 4 talented musicians can do......no more hiding your vocal talent now, Crafty!
Whooo hoooo Crafty! First time I've seen you fly solo, loved it!! Gutted we didn't get to see you live with the crew a couple of weeks back!! 😊
Can we say that Crafty is "Simple Minded"?
Another great cover by S.I.L.
Go for it Crafty front & centre lead! Excellent performance.
Crafty nails it! Sing it Live does the best covers. What great talent.
It looks like just about everyone can do lead vocals, simply amazing.
I've watched dozens of this groups covers and there isnt a bad one anywhere....literally nowhere ❤
Yes yes ❤ crafty actually sounds like david bowie on this 😂 love it
Great vocal Crafty...close eyes and all those great scenes from The Breakfast Club come to life. Awesome all round and Darren getting into it having fun...excellent. Iconic song and brilliant take on it.
This song has one of the greatest drum breaks ever.
I always give you all the same criticism. Excellent,Excellent and then some.😂😂. Just some great musical magic.
Who woulda thunk it. this one has everything even Crafty singing Jim Kerr like.Huge keys, rock solid bass, and a close up of the twirl. What's not to love.
Just heard LLB do this....underscores what a great version this one is.
Very sweet! Would love to hear your take on Spandau Ballets 'Gold' or other.
Crafty!!! Wow...four talented guys in a basement knocked this one out of the park!
Waaa? back up vocals, rhythm guitar, animated rascal !!! Yes... and now a STAR! Good call, Darren.
Just one word.......... 'AWESOME'
And just like that it’s 1985 and I’m reliving my memories as an 18 year old! Thanks, guys.
Y'all look like you are having a great time. Excellent homage.
What an AMAZING surprise this is! Extremely Well Done Crafty One ! What a great job by you gentleman doing so much with just 4 of you. So who’s next, Mario or Damien? What a gold mine that small room is. Each instrument playing equally great parts along with Crafty & Darren’s vocals was excellent I tell you, EXCELLENT!! Thank You fellas
Darren has a golden ear for musical quality, top notch singers & musicians & production.
Would love to see Mario take a turn, since he’s sung backup many times.
And I bet he would bring a lot of personality to the vocal as well.
Believe it or not Mario’s kit will fit up front if he chooses to play & sing. Darren did it a few years back with another drummer.
I think the reason that most bands dont cover this song is Jims great vocals , that truely made this song a classic - but I must say that Crafty smashed it. I think this is one of the best covers around. Darrens production was superb again. The whole band are just so talented.
That was OUTSTANDING Crafty!!! 😀 And Darren looking as proud as punch! Well done everyone.
Go crafty , rate good 👊
Nicely done Crafty! Thanks for taking us back Darren! Loving the stick twirling Mario. #SingItLive #CrafyMusicMan #Producernerd #MarioMarino #BassGoose
Thank you guys, always making your best effort to give us good, very good music!
what a voice and great harmonies. Keep em coming gang.
Amazing! Sunglasses back on at the lalalala kick-in moment was epic!
Outstanding as always. So much good here, but I do wanna point out the absolute chill drummer. I love a good flashy drummer smashing things now and again but this cat just casually nails the song.
knocked it out the park. good vocals
Wow Crafty! You nailed that mate. I love this song. Perfect voice 🙌❤️
Lots of "Hey's" from you?
Love the crisp sound of Sing it Live. HSCC is very, very good. But I think this team is even better!
Excellent.
