please correct me if i'm wrong, but that sounds heavily autotuned.. or could this guy really get that low with his voice??

[u/MonsieurLeDrole]

Hammer, shovel, pickaxe, but you can only see 3 of 4 tools. What is the right clone holding? Love the camera shake when they all hit the base note at once. Nice touch!

The best version of this covered by the Yale Spizzywinks

He looks like Nic Cage in ConAir.

Meh. Now and forever, this is the best version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJnERje97jw

Guy in OP just sort of... misses all of the soul of it or something. Trying really hard to sound low, singing out of his nose and failing to enunciate. With his freshly poofed hair and brand new tools from home depot - hammering a hammer? And his boring tempo mixed with zero emotion. Pff.

Sounds like he's trying to fuck your granny, but looks like he's after you're little sister.

Which of these lads looks like they'll get you?

A true song of the working man. Song about hard work with low pay sung by a clean pretty boy with soft hands....

[u/torndownunit]

This guy definitely has a big dong with that voice.
