You are receding

And an auxiliary poll:

[Poll #315664]

I originally refused to believe it wasn't really well known, but now it's looking like I'm wrong :(

There are probably many Pink Floyd versions of the song. However, a band called the Scissor Sisters have covered Comfortably Numb, see earlier Friday post.

The cover isn't J-Pop, but it's far closer to it than it is to prog-rock :)

And closer to "the Chipmunks" than either.

If I thought the Scissor Sisters were making a serious effort to improve on the original, then their cover would be a bit annoying. Since they're just being daft and messing around, hating it would be like hating Mike Flowers Pops.

Nah, Mike Flowers is definitely in the "silly cover version" category but at least has some vestige of musical talent, rather than sounding like some stoned students trying to do the Bee Gees.

(that being said, I quite like the Scissor Sisters track I've heard that isn't Comfortably Numb, it's not like the band are lacking in musical talent. Which implies that this travesty of theirs is deliberate, which is far more worrying)
