Fakers - Scissor Sisters

In the same vein as the most Fakers post, today's will be another cover of Pink Floyd. This time the song is Comfortably Numb (link is to the original). Anyone who's listened to the original would describe it as slow, psychedelic, mellow, and awesome. Scissor Sisters manage to deliver on the last one, but fall short in the other categories. The song starts off with a trademark Pink Floyd sounds, but quickly takes on a hip hop beat, electronic sounds, and crazy dude's falsetto. The chorus' melody and feel are all but lost as they take on a whole new feel, and almost a new meaning. Bubbly, light beeps fill any empty space Pink Floyd originally left, but work unbelievably well. To make things simple, the first time I heard this version, I didn't realize it was the same song. However, if I didn't recommend it, I wouldn't be writing about it. For an entirely different but definitely enjoyable experience, listen to the Scissor Sisters' version of Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb.
