Without sounding rude... Yes you are! He's a living legend!

He's the singer of the wonderful Super Furry Animals.

Not a bad version, nothing to write home about either.

lol, I'd never heard of him either and I've seen the SFA live at a festival (didn't really leave a lasting impression on me)

When I first saw Gruff Rhys, I instantly thought it was Griff Rhys Jones doing a cover and I was like WTF??

Imagine what that would have been like

Wet with love, it wasn't there
I was dreaming, you always are

I see the coins that were your eyes
My eyes shining like sapphires
I can't think, and I can't paint, I can't love!
And no one will, for money makes us up

Death to monetaries!

I'd quite like to hear that, actually.

Only me? I'll show myself out.

I'm not sure I like it that much.
It's not awful, just not something I'd want to listen to again.

Incidentally, it's pronounced "Griff." He's Welsh, you see.
