Hehe, this was awesome!!! I LOVE this song, perfect Dessy lyrics! I loved the chorus too, and you used the perfect clip choices to match the lyrics! Awesome beat use throughout, the song had a very unique and fun tune to it! Loved how you started and finished with Desmond watching a video about himself! Very funny video and awesomely done too, good luck in the contest!

Oh, very nicely done! I loved the little flare on the ring on 1:03 with the faint little "ring" repeat and I loved the countdown clock noises and the symbols you put up at 1:47, really, really nice touches! Great clips choices and I really liked that Desmond was watching the vid himself! I enjoyed it a bunch!

[Uruviel]

Ob-la-di ob-la-da... I know how to play this song on the piano (I had a book of Beatles tunes for the piano growing up. If I recall correctly, 'Let It Be' wasn't as hard as it seemed, and 'Ticket to Ride,' because of the range, was a lot harder than I thought.) Anyway!

Enjoyable straight-out from the song choice, obviously; there was no way this couldn't be entertaining. You did well by it though, and kept it flowing at a good pace even without heavy beat use besides that first drumroll.

I liked the arrangement on the twinkly piano bits after 'you and me,' and I liked the cheesy lens flare with 'ring!' (and that they kept that from the Beatles song, haha.)

Since the original song ends with Desmond staying at home and doing his pretty face, I had expected to see a little transvestitism, but hey, that's just me being a dork about the Beatles.

One critique: I thought there could have a little more emphasis in the downward notes in the bridge (the couple of "wha-wha, wha-wha, wha-wha, wha, wha" bars after the 'home sweet home' lines in the Beatles song.)
