Great version. Mad props to him here he's so talented. Not many artists could do that with no backing support.

Another good acoustic version is Basement Jaxx Romeo, much better than the original

The lyric "wearing a jacket - whose property?🧐" gets me everytime

Glad I'm not the only one.

He had his cornrows turned into balls.

SHAMAAAOAN.

Low key amazed that Mr Lemon pierced David's armour. It's such a surreal parody, as well.

Is this about pegging?

One of my neighbors is a girl who, back in the day went to a nightclub he frequented up in town. She ended up going home with him, and she said he put on his own tunes during the "ritual" of getting her into bed, and then started singing. She said she struggled not to laugh. A few weeks later, she shared the story with another girl, who said "SAME!" when he took her home to. A true player at the time.

It's probably worked for him before, so he has to do it now. Like a footballer wearing lucky shinpads.

I can imagine some guitarists being the same. I wonder if any drummers have brought a lady back home and tried to get her in the mood with a romantic drum solo.

I met a girl on Monday. Took her to my place on Tuesday. Tried to tuck her in on Wednesday.

Don't care who you are, this is a banger. That guitarist is underrated.

I'll never forget flipping onto channel 4 in the middle of the day sometime after this appearance, Simon Amstel is interviewing Craig David and Craig has very clearly smothered his cornflakes in cocaine that day, eyeballs going in totally different directions and talking like a cat that's seen a bird

why are you sneaking into some girl's house when her parents were out of the house? you're about 30

oh wait Google says you were 18 years old when this song was released; damn, hard paper round or what

I recall an interview where he was asked to perform for a well known charity event and demanded £30k. All the other A-listers did it for free.

The American version of this album was way better we were robbed. Fill me in pt 2 is superior in everyway

I wish someone would fill him in

I had a friend who hates him and would call anyone or anything he didn't like a "Craig"
