Mika Covers The View's "Same Jeans"

Maybe a bit old news...but I don't care. Mika covered The View's "Same Jeans" on Jo Whiley's Live Lounge on January 31st.

You can listen HERE but unfortunately its a YouTube link. Sorry...I'll eventually learn to be a bit more crafty with turning fancy things into MP3s.

Listen for the odd little bits of Brimful of Asha that Mika ads in and Walking In Memphis as well.

I really have a soft spot for this dude...I don't know what it is but he's not afraid to take risks...and thats why everyone loves Mika.

Oh...that and he's uhhh pretty much the next Freddy Mercury (BOLD I know...but see him live and you'll get it)
