Eh, respectfully I disagree. The beat is so well crafted in the original. Lines like “I’m a microchip off the old block” are so fun and cartoony, they almost sound out of place in this soulful, nearly gospel form.
It's different genre. And it's not creative. Original one has unique mix of alternative soul with drill'n'bass and rap. This adds only gospel chorus. But you can hear gospel song in the same album.Album was unique in that way that every song has got their unique sound and this is typical soul. Good ofc but not for this album. It's like Beck from Odelay who rewrites his song from that album and sings it as Sea Change. It's not cool
I wish Cee-Lo and Modest Mouse would have created more of these immersive downtempo alternate recordings. He has such a unique voice. Love this track so much.
Hitting hard right now! So much meaning.. Gnarls Barkley albums are definitely in my all time favorites. Over ready for that 4th Cee Lo and Danger Mouse !

Thanks
Yea I know
Thank you
I remember when he started with the rap group Goodie Mob , he is very talented
@@pheonixcom Goodie Mob has new album
This version always gives me the chills. Beautiful
Is definitely a classic. It was really beautiful
I miss the old RUclips video where you could actually see the live recording of this song/album
Yes indeed
This is all I found, so far. This performance of the song: ruclips.net/video/CEJ47e45Ozk/видео.htmlsi=QLaSdvXdp_T7v8Z0

Me tooooo
Please don’t let this version die I have to be able to show it to my future kids!!!
This should have been the original version of that song....
For real
Never that bro.
I look it up at least 59 times a year
This version is so much better than the original!!

this version has a lot more emotion, it's beautiful.
Totally agree. Like this one a lot better than original.
But where is the original?? Is that the one with the sock puppets?? Lol. That video was crazy.

My absolute favorite version! Cee Lo Green and Danger Mouse are the Truth!
me too .it's so much better
Always find myself coming back to this
ALWAYS lol it’ll just randomly pop into my head 😂
This track has so many levels
He’s clearly feeling my emotions for me
I wish Cee-Lo and Modest Mouse would have created more of these immersive downtempo alternate recordings. He has such a unique voice. Love this track so much.
Thought it was Danger Mouse that did the tracks with him.
So sad I can't find the video this performance anymore
Go to Vimeo.com and type it into the search box and its there was searching for it for a while myself. Transformer and Smiley

Ah but behold there is benevolence
Behind this but I don't stare enough
Be careful 'cause I'll kill you
With kindness
That's why I'm dressed quite neatly
'Cause it's easy and discreetly they seek me
And when they reach me and see me they
Believe me completely
I'm a real live wire I ain't lying
If it's between me and you I ain't dying
I can transform, I can transform,

Behold the beautiful and bold everyday I
Wake up to be new
Oh but it's simple but they still
Can understand why
I think I can, I think I can,
I think I can oh can I?
I'm a microchip off the old block
You know not but I was a robot
And I sold rock and you would get
For sho shoot with a gold
Glock boy I rode pac
Something that you won't see again
What the hell might as well be a friend
I can transform, I can transform,
No telling who I will have to
Be again.

Such a great voice
need this on spotify!
I hate that the video of the recording session is no longer here on RUclips
Marvelous song!!!
Real talent!
I've been looking for this version for years!! Now i need the Abbey Roads Smiley Faces recording!
This song and album is way ahead of its time
Man I wish they didn’t take down the original Abbey Road video. It was awesome!!!
this melt my soul...
awesome acoustic version
Hmmm, there used to be a live vid version of this of their performance, by another uploader... Was a beaut'
MsSpaceCake I know. I used to come to it. Why is it down
Timothy Figgis
Not sure... Maybe the up-loader deleted their acc, or google did. Shame was a good vid!
+Timothy Figgis copy right it said... my favorite too...
I used to have the video of this performance up on my channel, but it got taken down. Copyright BS.
*****
Please try get it up again man
! There is always a way round the shit, ooops sorry... (n;
Bloody amazing lyrics.
I remember when there was a true version of this... Never let them diminish you.
Yaassss baby ♨️♨️
I love this one!
My favorite song
Been looking for this rendition for ages. Ty ty ty
Here in 2022 and I'm finally...FINALLY using this reminder (this song) as the very theme... of life itself. 💪🏾
I resonate with this version far more than the album version. Wish spotify had it.
Amazing!
Love it
This song would have been worthy of being a single if it had been made like this instead of how they made the original one.
2020 quarantine vibes!!!
Be quiet
Wow. This is the good stuff. U got some serious talent
I love this ♥️ 💜
Constructions (vibe and) Unite!
Another fantastic track - thanks xx
Suga baby lo Salute!!!
Lord I just wanna see them perform this is person. One good time
High Vibrational Energy!!! November 22, 2021! Transformation!
love it.
Yes, lawd have mercy!
super
great one.
This version of the song isn't actually on the St. Elsewhere album, which is sad.
That fact broke my heart when I purchased this, I was so pissed when I realized it, this track is 🔥🔥 and always will be.
Now thats a hard ass song!!! 👍👍
I was a robot, that sold rock....
LionPeltLoinCloth bruh the meaning behind that one cedar
Benjamin Grayson I can transform, I can transform, ain’t no telling who I’ll have to be again.....
Well done Cee-lo
He was another black male statistic. Its hauntingly poetic
Why can I no longer find the video of this performance? It could put you in a trance 😍
Who dares to thumb this down?
He's basically saying watch yourself I've lived many lives, right now I'm dressed in a suit because I have to be, but I've been around and can go back to being gangster quicker than youd know but you should just be my friend and I'll show you something new
Worlds on fire
They used to have the video! Wonder why they took it down.
(Let's take it)
I, I, I, I I I
I transform (I can do it)
I transform (I can do it)
I transform (I can do it)
I'm a Transformer
I, I, ooh I, I I I
Know how to transform (I can do it)
I transform (I can do it)
I'll transform (I can do it)
I'm a Transformer
I'm just being myself (hoo)
Plus I gotta be me too (rah)
Silly of me to think that I couldn't
Bring myself to be you
Ah but behold, there is benevolence
Behind this, but don't stare though
Be careful, 'cause I'll kill you
With kindness
That why I'm dressed
Quite neatly, 'cause it's easy
And discreetly, they seek me
And when they reach me, and see me
They believe me completely
I'm a real live wire, I ain't lying (hoo)
If it's between me and you, I ain't dying (rah)
I can transform, I can transform
I can transform without even trying
I, I, (oh child) I, I I I
Know how to transform (yes I can)
I transform (watch me do it)
I transform (watch it)
I'm a Transformer
I, I, (oh child) I, I I I
Know how to transform (yes I can)
I transform (oh, watch me do it)
I'll transform (watch it)
I'm a Transformer
Now I'm someone else (hoo)
Come on up, you can be me too (rah)
Behold the beautiful and bold
Everyday I wake up to be new
Ah but it's simple, but they still can't
Understand why
(I think I can, I think I can, I think I can)
Or can I?
I'm a microchip off the old block
And you know not, but I was a robot
And I sold rock, and you would get fo' sho' shot
With a gold glock, boy I rode pac
I'm something that you won't see again (hoo)
But what the hell, might as well be my friend (rah)
I can transform, I can transform
There's no telling who I'll have to be again
Sing it
I, I, I, I I I
Know how to transform (yes I can)
I transform (watch me do it)
I transform (why?)
I'm a Transformer
I, I, I, I I I
Know how to transform (yes I can)
I transform (oh, yes I can)
I'll transform (oh lord)
I'm a Transformer
Why did they take down the live version?
Yes what happened to the video??
