Love Sponge, the Song

Love Sponge, a song originally (and awesomely) by Buju Banton. listen here.

Was redone by Gianni and Sarah and is accompanied by a great music video as well!

<3 This song speaks to my heart <3

Gianni and Sarah are also part of a musical group called Walk Off The Earth.

They are incredibly gifted and can play basically any instrument / make anything into an instrument.

I found them through their UNBELIEVABLE cover of Somebody That I Used To Know.

I know, I know - that song is played OUT. But if you havent seen this is not to be missed. Watch here.

T  U  R  N.   I  T.   U  P.

Oh, I got a man that's always late

Any time we have a date

But I love him

Yes I love him

So I'm gonna walk up to his gate

See if we can get it straight

Cause I want him

Yeah I intend to have him

I'll just ask him

Is    you    is    or    is    you    ain't    my    baby

Well, the way you're acting lately, 

well it makes me doubt

You were still my baby, baby

But it seems like my flame in your heart, 

well it's just gone out

A man is a creature

That has always been strange

Just when you're sure of one

You'll find that he's gone and made a change

Is    you    is    or    is    you    ain't    my    baby

Well, maybye my baby found somebody new

Or is my baby still my baby too

Unfortunately, she is very choosy with what projects she takes on, and is also very expensive. But, rightfully so. *sigh*
