This video is not a good representation of them at the peak I saw. But I love love love the song, and this is the only clip I could find of them doing it! So, "Favourite Girl" by ALT (lyrics in the comments queue as usual!):
I don't know what to say about that performance. There was this comment underneath it on You-Tube, however - sitting at -2 after seven months and surely about to vanish:
Elbemarle (7 months ago)That comment seems needlessly mean. Before you watch the video.
wow, they suck. All over the map! Tempo flapping in the breeze. Voices weak and quavering, gum-chewing, falling asleep at the keys, what the crap are they thinking? This is like talent-show reject bad.
Crazy, each of these guys is a world-class musician!
Well okay. Maybe not Andy.
Anyway. Anybody who knows me knows, a stauncher support of these guys you will find it not easy to find. But even the greats have off days when, to take a line from the song itself, they are not "feelin' it."

Every time I think about it
it's always the same
The look you gave,
it went right through me
ah
It's 10 O'clock at night here
12 O'clock your time
The phone connects us only,
over there it's bright
I wonder how you're doing
did you find your man?
Is this the truth we're speaking,
or just a plan?
When you realise,
you've got something
When you realise,
you're not afraid of nothin
You know it'll work
I'm telling you it'll work
it'll work!
I lie in bed at night
three weeks away
I know it'll be alright,
the moon's getting bigger every day
The weather's turning colder now -
it's summer on the other side of the world, and
I'm gonna catch a big fat plane
to my favourite girl
ooh
and when you realise,
you've really got someone
That's when you realise,
what it means to someone
to know it'll work
I know it'll work
oh yeah
Every time I think about it,
it's always the same
Every time I think about it,
I sing out your name
Every time I think about it...
Every time I think about it,
it went right through me
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting, for news of you
Waiting
I feel this charity
It's coming up inside
The wonders of your wheels and all of your lies
You're talking open words
There's nothing to hide
I know this is as worse as I feel in my life
Oh feeling it
Oh feeling it
Oh feeling it
Oh feeling it
Feeling it
Speaking it
Knowing it
Showing it
Feeling it
Knowing it
Speaking it
Showing it
There's a light in your home,
it's not so bright
but I can see it almost every night
I put my mind to yours,
there's nothing wrong
Just as if it seems to feel it coming on
Don't think about it
Don't think about it
Every time I think about it,
it's always the same
The look you gave,
it went right through me
I loved the song, but would have enjoyed it more without the visual..what a motley lot! Ugly.
But I did like the song very much.
All these gentlemen "clean up well" Eva - you'll have to trust me on that one! For some reason, though, they seem to be in a real relaxed mode here as far as that goes.
Which I'd have no problem with! Relaxed I have no problem with; this whole project had a funky, relaxed laid-back vibe to it that worked beautifully in their favor for the most part. But when it comes to putting a tune across, there's a fine line between a relaxed attitude, and lazy execution. In SF, they nailed this tune.
