I think this version rocks.She puts so much emotion and concentration into the performance and tells the story beautifully! Anyone rubbishing Duffy's take on this song is obviously biased,a pretentious purist at best!
I love listening to Duffy's version of this song every week or so...I wonder where I can buy it? I NEVER get tired of hearing her rendition...Duffy ROCKS!
This is fantastic....Duffy captured the passion of the song. Paul Weller has done this while playing piano and also just playing guitar....so even he has his own 'take' on the song! I do like Adele, but Duffy does this much better than Adele with Paul.
I Do Not Care What You Think,She Has A Sublime Voice ,Paul Weller,s Song Is Brilliantly Interpreted."Sublime", A Special Modern,Fresh Version Of A Classic..........Bernard.
This was done on Radio 1's live lounge. Well played, amazing singing. Boring arrangement. She did this song live I think in London. The show was on the UK TV's BBC1 late one night years ago. Wish I could find that version it's amazing.
Probably the best cover was Michael Collings version on Britain's Got Talent semi final... that was a great version that got close to giving the original the respect it deserves.
really beautiful version of the song and i agree with aldasinger we shouldnt judge it by the original as duffy and given if a completly different feel which i find stunning. id like to see some of you lot do a better job!
If I didn't here the original...I'd probably like it. Maybe some songs should be alone. It just hasn't got the soul of the original Weller version. Could have imagined Amy Winehouse doing this. That would have been awesome!!
i luv her jazzy sound its so old skool its fab but the vibrato on this is kinda like an old sheep... not as nice as her other songs, but good on her for givin it a go
Pretty good...I like Duffy and a massive Weller fan...but a bit too much verbrato in this which I feel does kind of spoil it a little...but other than that it sounds really nice.
totally agree on the vibrato thing...everything I hear her do-o-o-o-o-o is--s-s-s-s-s li-i-i-i-i-ke this these days, I was very hopeful for her before she broke here in the states, and really could have shined on this Weller cover a little better.
Nah, this version doesn;t do anything for me... I perfer Paul Weller's original, his seems to flow better, you can feel the passion in his voice. Duffy seems to be focusing on making her voice sound 'jumpy', if you know what I mean.
It is obviously a great song. Duffy's version get's much better farther into the song. Imagine a real singer like Aretha or Warwick with this. Weller may have out done Bacharach on this one. Con
Nah.......What a load of Bollox!! That's really taken the soul of out of a classic!!!! Even Adele felt she couldn't improve or even match on the original!! And SHE has a hell of a talent!!
I'm a massive Paul Weller fan, and i think that this version has ruined one of my all time favourite songs. I don't belive that this song can be changed in anyway without making it sound awful.
What have they done to my favorite song? I need to erase this from my brain immediately. I appreciate different and an effort,but this clearly didn't work. Sometimes, just because you can change a song, doesn't mean you should. ahhhhh my poor favorite song. Wellar will be having nightmares if he sees this. : (
I'm absolutely obsessed with this song and am going around listening to every version of it I can find!
Breath taking
Come back to us please. We miss you Duffy and your unique voice.
Duffy great performance (miss you). Paul Weller is a musical genius.

so good such a brilliant talent bringing rough trade back to the top of the chartsssss
I think this version rocks.She puts so much emotion and concentration into the performance and tells the story beautifully!
Anyone rubbishing Duffy's take on this song is obviously biased,a pretentious purist at best!
Great guitar player here, mighty fine - thank you.
Kimmo Kananen agreed.
This is a fantastic cover ^_^; She has such amazing control over her voice, loving the slow vibrato! xxx
I wouldn't want to hear your music collection LOL
God that song left me shaking well over half and hour after it was over :O
Stunning
I love listening to Duffy's version of this song every week or so...I wonder where I can buy it? I NEVER get tired of hearing her rendition...Duffy ROCKS!
Wow!
unreal
what a voice
Skunk Anansie's Live in London Acoustic version is the best cover of this...check it out
Wow I like this one so much
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! She has her own style and it works.
It's good to see a different version of this song... duffy has done an amazing job on this...
I would have loved to see thos performance with Paul Weller x
love the song duffy with love from jeff
this is brilliant!!!!!
absolutely.
duffy the best . and best of all time
I like Duffy - which is why I wanted to hear this. But sorry, she should be up on in court for that because Christ! She murdered a classic!
I love the brit fem singers. Adele, lily Allen, dido, and duffy. My favorite brit fem singers.
This is fantastic....Duffy captured the passion of the song. Paul Weller has done this while playing piano and also just playing guitar....so even he has his own 'take' on the song! I do like Adele, but Duffy does this much better than Adele with Paul.
BEAUTIFUL..i cant stop listening...
Whaaa! chickenskin! goosebumps! kippenvel! Wat mooi...
I Do Not Care What You Think,She Has A Sublime Voice ,Paul Weller,s Song Is Brilliantly Interpreted."Sublime", A Special Modern,Fresh Version Of A Classic..........Bernard.
Such a great rendition of a already great piece. Kudos to Duffy and everyone involved.
Vrlo emotivno,Duffy bas ume to ;)
Duffy ya gorgeous babe X

Beautiful voice.
Uwielbiam jej sluchac.
Kocham jej barwe glosu.
Zachwyca mnie jej sposup wyrazania tego co czuje.
Chyba jestem gotowy sie Zakochac:).pozdrawiam
Amazing!!!!!
Weller's version is amazing,
but Duffy done the song credit with this cover, she is a true talent
Duffy is the best anyway.
Her voice is voice of an angel.
Greatings from Serbia!
Dont get me wrong here....I like Duffy a lot....but when I listened this one tears came to my eyes ..... from the laughter...
Probably the best cover was Michael Collings version on Britain's Got Talent semi final... that was a great version that got close to giving the original the respect it deserves.
Duffy Covers Paul Weller's You Do Something To Me
Duffy has a very old soul!
I've never heard anyone sing almost entirely in vibrato!!
Time to come back duffy
Why compare, both original and this version are great.
Please note everybody the likes outnumber the dislikes by about 6 to 1. Me I love it !
I guess that shows that the majority of people here and also in life, has poor taste. This is living proof.
What do you want? a version of those common ridiculous voice tune as Rihanna, Kesha, Ashley Tisdale?
i want original songs,not pop singers living off the back's of real musicians/singers
really beautiful version of the song and i agree with aldasinger we shouldnt judge it by the original as duffy and given if a completly different feel which i find stunning. id like to see some of you lot do a better job!
Chip monk springs to mind here! Sorry.
@whitbyjet65 +1, some songs, like this, don't need any special vocal skills, just emotion, which most artists lack nowadays...
Yeah wat a video
Works for me, and bollocks to the nay sayers. I'm sure the Modfather would appreciate it too.
Da iawn Duffy oedd hwna yn perfaith.
Ser :)
I think you'll find that weller has a far more positive opinion of Duffy's talent that your goodself.
If I didn't here the original...I'd probably like it. Maybe some songs should be alone. It just hasn't got the soul of the original Weller version. Could have imagined Amy Winehouse doing this. That would have been awesome!!
Vocal gymnastics!!!! just sing it bloody straight women Arrrrgggg
it just sounds like duffy
OMG what has she done to this song!
i luv her jazzy sound its so old skool its fab but the vibrato on this is kinda like an old sheep... not as nice as her other songs, but good on her for givin it a go
this is funny hahahh :D
I think Duffys version is better than the original, my opinion.
Weller all the way..as MC hammer said ÿou can't touch this"lets leave it there..
I can't believe it's not butter!
@speedyvespa in a weird key? you do know what a key is, right?
Oh dear what is she doing to this fucking great song... This is so Weller's song.
you go larry the lamb.
Weller will never ever be out done on this... just forget about it!!
Chris Pratt from Parks & Recreation on the trombone...
eek - I mean vibrato...but hey ho...you kow the score :)
KOCHAM TO
she sounds like barbie on helium, an utter car crash of a vocal!
Need to throw a piano on the start of this. She gets the mood of the song totally wrong, though I do like Duffy.
Absolute torture
Pretty good...I like Duffy and a massive Weller fan...but a bit too much verbrato in this which I feel does kind of spoil it a little...but other than that it sounds really nice.
totally agree on the vibrato thing...everything I hear her do-o-o-o-o-o is--s-s-s-s-s li-i-i-i-i-ke this these days, I was very hopeful for her before she broke here in the states, and really could have shined on this Weller cover a little better.
murdered a fuckin great song
She' s like kittie :)
Nah, this version doesn;t do anything for me... I perfer Paul Weller's original, his seems to flow better, you can feel the passion in his voice. Duffy seems to be focusing on making her voice sound 'jumpy', if you know what I mean.
It's not the vibrato, the song's not for her.
she does a good job on a difficult song, Weller's the man but Duffy's damn good too :)
Murdered
@maredox lool!
It is obviously a great song. Duffy's version get's much better farther into the song. Imagine a real singer like Aretha or Warwick with this. Weller may have out done Bacharach on this one.
Con
i like duffy but you dont get the same feeling then you with Wellers original
what is the matter with her voice?? dont like this version, yet to find a good cover of amazing Weller!
Fu*k me i think old weller has written a song only he can truely master, no other singer does this song justice.
Oh come on fellas? You neverheard a girl with a voice like the sound of a sawmill before
Nah.......What a load of Bollox!! That's really taken the soul of out of a classic!!!! Even Adele felt she couldn't improve or even match on the original!! And SHE has a hell of a talent!!
@Eightball69 don't listen then!
How I wish that were possible to go back and not have heard this LMAO. Where's a Delorean when you need one. : )
Good singer, original voice, but she rapes the song imo.
Nobody does it like Weller! the power, the emotion...
@jamievespa Yes, too much vibrato
she did something terrrriblllllle to this song :(
Yukk
slaughtered
I'm a massive Paul Weller fan, and i think that this version has ruined one of my all time favourite songs. I don't belive that this song can be changed in anyway without making it sound awful.

Yeah Daffy duck can sing!!! I always knew!! (or is it his little nice?? )
Good god thats awful...
Omg... Daffy nice cover but your vibrato on this song is sound like our folklore singers in tradicional wedding ceremony.
the worst version i ever heard,
terrible...
kermit would sound better!
Bloody hell, that's awful.
