Umbrella.. ella.. ella.. eh.. eh..

Uhm.. err.. SHUT UP!
I know.. I myself still can't believe that I'm actually posting this song on my blog!

I mean.. WTF! This is so not, borrowing from Mandy Moore, the kind of music that I listen to. But this guy is just.. I don't know.. he got it perfectly, just about right, not too much, not too little.

This ubiquitous, monstrous, overplayed, somewhat-annoying-if-not-appalling, hip-hop tune trade-marked by Rihanna was on my top list of not-a-chance-in-hell song, until I found the cover by this guy called Scott Simons.

It is actually a good song, a great song even. A well-composed, no.. not classic, but more like.. text-book arrangement of a good pop song. It got melody, lyric, and the hooks are just.. killing.

Anyway, take a listen here:



And compare it to the original version here:



And finally, another decent version from Mandy Moore here:
