You wanna know it’s like to be the guy to sing in a song cover like this? It’s basically what life is like when stuff just “works”, the real guys that deserve the kudos are these 3 fantastic gentlemen that made the process so straightforward and enjoyable for me 👏 But big thanks for all the lovely comments 🙏 While I’m at it, if you wanted to know more about what it’s like, here’s a behind the scenes video 🤓 ruclips.net/video/xLa4MhbWM7Q/видео.html
You sneaky bugger Crafty! You’ve been keeping quiet with your vocal talent 👍 Awesome job mate. A surprise always makes my Sat morning even better with SingitLive. 👌
Thank you. I can now tick Crafty singing lead off my wish list. Excellent Crafty. You should sing more often. I will watch the BTS later. The cover was excellent.
Wow! Crafty on vocals was such an awesome surprise! Not to mention you guys performed a flawless version of a classic and didn't need a stage full of 14 people competing for attention. 4 artists, great energy, massive talent!!!
The Breakfast Club is a great movie and this is a great song. Really full sound with just the four of you - we get to appreciate Damo's bass and nobody steps on each others frequency range.
REALLY, and he can sing too? A true sleeper! Great job Crafty, Darren and Singit Live crew! It's 1985 and my fist is raised in the air in respect to you guys and the Breakfast Club! Thanks again for the great Friday night 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Damo and Mario chugging along keeping the rhythm section tight, Crafty finally upfront on Vox, and Darren with the side to side head banging... SWEET! God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏
Crafty you are freaking awesome this really threw me for a loop when at first, I was anticipating Darren taking the lead on vocals. I literally had to do a double take when I realized it truly was crafty singing lead." LOVE, LOVE, LOVED "it. Bravo your positive and vibrant energy always shines brightly when you participate in singitlive productions and even more so here with you singing lead.
Great work guys! And Crafty taking a lead vocal. A nice change up for the SingitLive crew. Such a full sound for a four piece, just shows what you can do. Loved Darren smiling almost like a proud dad :)
In the behind-the-scenes footage on Crafty’s channel, Darren shares that he doubled Crafty’s guitar-playing by placing it in both left & right channels in post, hence the lusher sound-but still really impressive, seeing how it’s just 4 people in the room! 🎸 😮 🤘
I take my hat off to all of you! I am a massive Simple Minds fan. I’ve heard many covers over the years but none have captured the essence of Jim Kerr’s delivery….until now! Great work Crafty! It’s taken almost 40 years for me to accept a cover but you have passed with flying colours. 👏🏻👏🏻👍👍
Mario Marino really stands out here. Shuffley little number with a great driving rock feel that requires some pretty nifty footwork. Well done indeed, great chops!
Dazza realized he was on a winner with his smiles early in this song, KraftI did an excellent job with the vocals and the band did the rest....Loved it....😊
My dad used to tell me, don't worry too much. The past is over and the future hasn't happened yet.. Singit Live and the entire crew is a weekly reminder to throw away the garbage, enjoy the soulful music and embrace the love. Thumbs-up to Crafty for giving us another side of his musical talents.
Amazing vocals Crafty! Wonderful and excellent work by Darren and all as usual. Also great to see Damien! He's usually lurking in the back! :D Nice to see you front and center!
Crafty, you NAILED this solid. What makes the original so perfect is the relentless, almost mechanical drums/bass groove to include the perfect fills. Damien and Mario, you took this all the way to the house and back. WELL DONE.
Crafty wowee you had us all dancing in the kitchen tonight!! Darren we loved it, spot on!!! Damien the girls loved the cap and scarve very chic, and always the drummer King Mario!! Sing It Live does it again!! 👏👏😊
Yet another fantastic rendition by the SIL musical crew! Hard to believe that there were just four musicians performing that tune. You guys rock! 👍👍🎤🎤🎸🎸🎹🎹👏👏
Craffty has a great voice,never knew he can sing like that and he looks so cool in those sunglasses. This is brilliant,much better than the original. Thanking You Hazel in the UK 🇬🇧
Some songs were meant to be discovered/invented no matter what. It would no surprise me if Martians had an identical Tune , its a great musical piece over all. (underrated work of art)
What an AMAZING surprise this is! Extremely Well Done Crafty One ! What a great job by you gentleman doing so much with just 4 of you. So who’s next, Mario or Damien? What a gold mine that small room is. Each instrument playing equally great parts along with Crafty & Darren’s vocals was excellent I tell you, EXCELLENT!! Thank You fellas
CraftyMusicMan where have you been my friend. You can really sing. We only have seen you rock the guitar. Darren - let CraftyMusicMan sing more often. We like CraftyMusicMan. Bring him back.
Bass Player's hat & scarf fit this tune "Perfectly" Awesome cover. I loved those vocals. Great playing from everyone. The mix you guys get is also top notch! You made me feel this tune like the original. Thanks for your channel. I've been hooked for two days. hahaha
Hi Darren.I am from the UK and Crafty sang that wonderfully.Couldnf tell the difference between the original. Thanks Darren,Crafty,Mario and whoever was playing guitar at the back ofthe room(sorry dont know his name). Best Wishes Hazel
Outstanding as always. So much good here, but I do wanna point out the absolute chill drummer. I love a good flashy drummer smashing things now and again but this cat just casually nails the song.
Wow. Beautiful. You all are amazing together, chemistry, synergy, top notch, first rate. Crafty, your talent is always forefront, vocals blew me away, immensely talented. Darren, will go down as one of the greatest QB's/Coaches/Coordinators of all time (to coin American/Canadian football jargon). Band is top rate, as always, everyone you bring in is pure joy. My favorite Utube channel. Once again, thank you.
I knew Crafty could sing, but I didn't know what a lovely mellow tone his voice has. I think he'd do an an awesome job of some Bowie classics. Just saying.... :-) Good job all.
I’ve always loved this song, but Crafty, in his behind-the-scenes video, goes into how the band didn’t think anything of this song, either! 😂 Multiple bands passed on it, so this song has a fascinating history.
Beautiful soothing music👍 Soulful....Lively....nailing the rhythm!!! ❤Hard to describe songs as these... from the heart of musicians to an appreciative audience!! SUPER!!!😊
Yes.....get in there Crafty. Great to see you as lead singer, smashed it 👊. Would love to hear a rendition of alive and kicking sometime as this was mine and my best friends song who suddenly passed away late last year.😢

Good work man
50 hours is a short time to prepare. Darren is such a taskmaster!
Bravo Crafty
Crafty, tell Darren to pin this comment! 📍
As a Scotsman who loves simple minds….that was pretty friggin epic…great job guys…and great sound!
Crafty !!!! Perfect voice for this song 👍
💯 Like a glove! 🧤 (not like OJ’s 😂)
As I was listening to Crafty, I thought his timbre would also lend itself well to Right Said Fred’s “I’m Too Sexy.” 🤣
Waooooooo!
I'm an Irish man living in England listening to Aussie guys playing a fabulous track by a Scottish band. Now that's what I call International!
Dude; that is funny! I think Quentin Tarentino can come up with some sort of movie about it. Hey, Thanks for the chuckles dude. 🙂
I didnt know Simple Minds were Scots.. I learnt something new today
@@stephenwallace7288 Since 1977 :)
bunch a white dudes ;)
english-speaking...
You sneaky bugger Crafty! You’ve been keeping quiet with your vocal talent 👍
Awesome job mate.
A surprise always makes my Sat morning even better with SingitLive. 👌
Saturday for you, Friday night for me!
Agreed, distinct and enjoyable voice!
Does that make him a Crafty bugger?
Awesome rendition and perfectly done😊❤
Thank you. I can now tick Crafty singing lead off my wish list.
Excellent Crafty. You should sing more often.
I will watch the BTS later.
The cover was excellent.
Crafty can sing !! It’s like one of those sleeper cars. You see them quietly coasting and all of a sudden BOOM it goes 130 MPH 😅 good job mate !!
as good as original. takes me back to the 80's again. im 67 now, but still enjoy classic 80's great job guys
Me2222222222 the best 80s 😊
80's F O R E V E R !!!
The man has an amazing voice, plays the guitar like a pro and manages his own hair. The man is just the package.
His voice is not that good tbh
Wow! Crafty on vocals was such an awesome surprise! Not to mention you guys performed a flawless version of a classic and didn't need a stage full of 14 people competing for attention. 4 artists, great energy, massive talent!!!
The way the band plays sounds very close to the original recording.
Crafty bringing the powerful vocals, love it !!!! Awesome job gentlemen !!!
The Breakfast Club is a great movie and this is a great song. Really full sound with just the four of you - we get to appreciate Damo's bass and nobody steps on each others frequency range.
This was fantastic, but I'm so old, I remember when songs like this came out on their own... There was no "Breakfast Club" yet. Great job, Crafty!
yep great comment. ...Darins past band now has become full blown orchestra really can't tell who is playing what. Keep it simple works the best!
Are you telling me that THIS MUCH great music is coming from FOUR guys?? Unbelievable!
REALLY, and he can sing too? A true sleeper! Great job Crafty, Darren and Singit Live crew! It's 1985 and my fist is raised in the air in respect to you guys and the Breakfast Club! Thanks again for the great Friday night 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Crafty stepping up on lead vocals on one of the most iconic movie soundtrack songs from the '80s. Great job!
What is the movie, please? I love this song.
@@diegolima8755 The Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club
Fabulous movie too
Crafty rocks the lead! And love the camera work as Mario lays down the iconic fill! Go Sing it Live 🤘🏼
Four guys, huge sound. Crafty you crushed it! Everyone was spot on. Thanks mates! ❤
Damo and Mario chugging along keeping the rhythm section tight, Crafty finally upfront on Vox, and Darren with the side to side head banging... SWEET! God bless from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🙏
WEPA!
Great cover ! Top vocals ! 👍👍🇦🇺
Definitely an example of what a great Cover sounds like
Absolutely nailed this song. Crafty needs to be upfront on a David Bowie song….I can hear so much Bowie in his voice it’s insane 👏👏👏
I agree 100%
Exactly
Crafty is becoming one of my favorite RUclips personalities. He just loves life! The band brings life every Friday! Thanks
Crafty you are freaking awesome this really threw me for a loop when at first, I was anticipating Darren taking the lead on vocals. I literally had to do a double take when I realized it truly was crafty singing lead." LOVE, LOVE, LOVED "it. Bravo your positive and vibrant energy always shines brightly when you participate in singitlive productions and even more so here with you singing lead.
Amazing the amount of sound you get from a four-piece band.
KILLLLLLED IT! 💪🏾🔥🔥🔥 Y'all gotta do "Tainted Love" Soft Cell with Crafty on lead! 🎤👏🏾
Good one! 😃 💯
uhmm... that caught me by surprise. His voice was perfect for this song. Good as always.
EXCELENT JOB !!!! that guy is pretty Crafty on the vocals lol . Well done all !!
Great job Crafty and Sing it Live. Bringing it week after week
Thank you for taking me back to the summer of '85! Too many great memories to mention...and this brought them all flooding back! 💙💙💙
Nice job Crafty, voice is perfect for this one.
Great work guys! And Crafty taking a lead vocal. A nice change up for the SingitLive crew. Such a full sound for a four piece, just shows what you can do. Loved Darren smiling almost like a proud dad :)

High praise! 👌
Wowwwwww...!!!! Great song and magnificent performance. Love this iconic song of the 80´s Regards from Mexico. Keep going Singit Live😀👍
Mario Marino really stands out here. Shuffley little number with a great driving rock feel that requires some pretty nifty footwork. Well done indeed, great chops!
And he's freaking reading it!!! Mad respect.
Great job Crafty!!!!!! Didn't know you could sing like that. Man-what a nice surprise!
Dazza realized he was on a winner with his smiles early in this song, KraftI did an excellent job with the vocals and the band did the rest....Loved it....😊
Ooooh look at you go!! Crafty the singerrrrrr. Nice one. I should’ve interviewed you for the BTS! 😂
Would have been cool. Next time...
My dad used to tell me, don't worry too much. The past is over and the future hasn't happened yet.. Singit Live and the entire crew is a weekly reminder to throw away the garbage, enjoy the soulful music and embrace the love. Thumbs-up to Crafty for giving us another side of his musical talents.
Crafty has talent, class and vocals. Well done sir.
Thank you guys, always making your best effort to give us good, very good music!
Amazing vocals Crafty! Wonderful and excellent work by Darren and all as usual. Also great to see Damien! He's usually lurking in the back! :D Nice to see you front and center!
HOT DAMN!!
Crafty steps into the spotlight and smashes it!!
Everybody take a bow, that was perfect!
Hey Crafty, absolutely fantastic version......please give us some more of your vocals.
Crafty's voice would be perfect for Billy Idol songs!
Cam has Billy covered, so to speak.. they did Rebel Yell already and was really good.
Crafty, you NAILED this solid. What makes the original so perfect is the relentless, almost mechanical drums/bass groove to include the perfect fills. Damien and Mario, you took this all the way to the house and back. WELL DONE.
Fabulous! Crafty, you’ve gone and done it now! We will expect much more of you on lead vocals! You are just too cute! ❤
That was OUTSTANDING Crafty!!! 😀 And Darren looking as proud as punch! Well done everyone.
It looks like just about everyone can do lead vocals, simply amazing.
1985 - "The Breakfast club" - What a great version - Well done to the "Fab Four" on a tight production. 👏👏👏👌👌👌🎤🎶
Crafty wowee you had us all dancing in the kitchen tonight!! Darren we loved it, spot on!!! Damien the girls loved the cap and scarve very chic, and always the drummer King Mario!! Sing It Live does it again!! 👏👏😊
If this song don't get you putting on your "joggers" to go and "seize the day" nothing will, love it ♥
Wow Crafty! You nailed that mate. I love this song. Perfect voice 🙌❤️
Lots of "Hey's" from you?
Yeah!
It's 1985, the island of Paros, Greece, and a fishing boat is just off the beach blasting this song. Thanks for the flashback and memories.
Wow that’s a top shelf performance! Especially the vocals. It’s like I was hearing the original! Man I enjoyed that! You guys certainly can SingIt!
Official song of the 80s.. Nicely done
Yet another fantastic rendition by the SIL musical crew! Hard to believe that there were just four musicians performing that tune. You guys rock! 👍👍🎤🎤🎸🎸🎹🎹👏👏
This is a bass and drum tune; Mario and Damien ran a clinic. Great feel.
Como falamos no Brasil quando alguém arrebenta no som, humilhouuuuu, show!
And just like that it’s 1985 and I’m reliving my memories as an 18 year old! Thanks, guys.
3:45 might be pop musics greatest drum fill and dude just nailed it. Another great post. What a nice father's day gift.
Crafty nails it! Sing it Live does the best covers. What great talent.
Craffty has a great voice,never knew he can sing like that and he looks so cool in those sunglasses.
This is brilliant,much better than the original.
Thanking You
Hazel in the UK 🇬🇧
Crafty, A Home Run!!!! Need More!!
Some songs were meant to be discovered/invented no matter what. It would no surprise me if Martians had an identical Tune , its a great musical piece over all. (underrated work of art)
WOW Crafty!! Who knew you had such a powerful voice and could sing like that! Great job!👏👏👏
Yeah didn't know Crafty could sing...wowsers!
Crafty!!!! Excellent!
80's , Breakfast Club, Simple Minds Just brings out the feeling from my youth,
Theme song of the 80s. Love it!
What an AMAZING surprise this is! Extremely Well Done Crafty One ! What a great job by you gentleman doing so much with just 4 of you. So who’s next, Mario or Damien? What a gold mine that small room is. Each instrument playing equally great parts along with Crafty & Darren’s vocals was excellent I tell you, EXCELLENT!! Thank You fellas
Darren has a golden ear for musical quality, top notch singers & musicians & production.
Would love to see Mario take a turn, since he’s sung backup many times.
And I bet he would bring a lot of personality to the vocal as well.
Believe it or not Mario’s kit will fit up front if he chooses to play & sing. Darren did it a few years back with another drummer.
CraftyMusicMan where have you been my friend. You can really sing. We only have seen you rock the guitar. Darren - let CraftyMusicMan sing more often. We like CraftyMusicMan. Bring him back.
One of my all-time favorite songs...great job boys!
Bass Player's hat & scarf fit this tune "Perfectly"
Awesome cover. I loved those vocals. Great playing from everyone. The mix you guys get is also top notch!
You made me feel this tune like the original. Thanks for your channel. I've been hooked for two days. hahaha
Love Crafty! Great song!
One of the best facking covers EVER!!!!👍👍👍
I knew Crafty can play guitar but never thought he,could sing like this.Briliant
Go Crafty!!! Holy Smokes man!! Awesome pipes, who knew!!😁
80's the best and forever best Music Movies and Greatsoundtracksera Nostalgietime ❤❤❤
This song has one of the greatest drum breaks ever.
Bravi veramente ❤
Un abbraccio dalla Toscana😊

Whooo hoooo Crafty! First time I've seen you fly solo, loved it!! Gutted we didn't get to see you live with the crew a couple of weeks back!! 😊
Brilliant positive vibes
what a voice and great harmonies. Keep em coming gang.

Glad to see Crafty finally singing lead! great job mate!
Crafty 👏🏾 bringing back the memories ♥️ love it guys
He definitely makes an impression on everyone!
Craftys voice should be playing on the radio now. I'm surprised some big time group hasnt picked him up and make him their front man.
Wow what a voice! “Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty! Crafty!”……
knocked it out the park. good vocals
You did it again, excellent performance, very talented musicians!!!
I have but one word for this gem..........
SMOOOOOOOTH!
Bravo Crafty !
Did not think much of the original song back then... but your version is tops !
Superb production, kudos !
I’ve always loved this song, but Crafty, in his behind-the-scenes video, goes into how the band didn’t think anything of this song, either! 😂

Well, that was a jam. ❤😊 Love the surprise of Crafty guitar dude on lead vocals. Way to go. Mr. Shades. 😎🎸🎙
