If anyone finds out where to buy it, can they post, please?
I, too, am one who likes the original. It’s a fun party song.
I normally find serious acoustic covers to be a dime-a-dozen and not terribly interesting, but this guy really hits it out of the park. Guy’s got soul and to turn a disposable pop hit into something with feeling without overdoing it and making it a straight-up parody is impressive.
Though it’s impossible to make a good lyric line out of multiples of ‘wiggle’.
Use Zamzar to rip it to a file format you can play and then burn it to a CD / upload it to a device that plays MP3’s or what have you.
I’ll do that if I can’t find a way to pay. The guy did a great job, I kind of rather pay a couple of bucks if it’s going to live on my playlist for a while.
Kudos. Always nice to see a person do the right thing.
Is it illegal to rip the audio from his videos as mp3’s? He put them on youtube as public files, so I guess I figured he wouldn’t mind. I have not done so yet, though.
You can message someone on Youtube and I’m sure he’s got a PayPal account set up.
It is a violation of copyright unless he has released the video under a creative commons license that allows for such things.
I’m a little vague on how YouTube works from the content-provider end of things, but I believe people who upload videos receive a cut of the ad money. Unless your video goes viral there’s so little ad money that this cut amounts to nothing, but this guy’s now had over 4 million hits to his “Sexy and I Know It” video so he’s probably making something off of it. Anyway, if someone wants to hear the song again and replays the YouTube video, Noah will get another fraction of a cent. If someone rips the audio and replays that, he’ll get nothing.
How do you know if he has? His video is available on mobile devices, which serves a similar purpose.
Because it would state that on the video description.
Lots of record companies post official music videos on YouTube, but that doesn’t mean it’s a-ok to rip the song.
He is now offering a free download of his song (I followed him on FB and he announced it this morning).
