Scud Mountain Boys - Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves free for downloading

honestly, richie sakai's version is much better

yeah this is good but if your trying to beat cher you dont have to try very hard. but i think they can make an even better version

great version of this classic song by Cher.

So, soooooo boring. Holy crap that was slow. I had to turn it off halfway through.

This cover of Gypsies gave me an appreciation for the song that the original never did. Probably says something about my inability to recognize a well written song because of my disinterest in Cher when it was released. Another song that gave me an enhanced appreciation was Freedy Johnston's cover of Witchita Lineman several years back.

How can anyone say this is better than Cher's version? I mean, c'mon. I think I may have just died listening to this dead version.

I commented on this seven years ago. Guess everything comes full circle... kinda like this story song.

The Cher version is half as long and twice as good

Very interesting cover. Hats off to the Scud boys for putting a completely different spin on the classic original. It's pointless comparing it to Chers version, this evokes an entirely different set of emotions and a completely different listening experience. As, in my opinion, a good well executed cover should do:)

guys and girls, don't compare it to cher. Cher owns the song, obviously, this is just a different take, appreciate it for what it is - a darker, moodier version. They would not have copied it had they not had an apreciation for the original themselves.

If I can get through this song without falling asleep, I know I can accomplish anything

Hey! How did you get the sound to come out so clear on yours? I uploaded a couple of SMB songs yesterday and they're really fuzzy-sounding?
