These guys are not just exceptional in using their untrained voices to produce the standard vocals required for this piece, but they are effective storytellers, too. Considering that is is quintessential American music, having these provincial lads from central Philippines convey not just the sound but also the narrative of the song is nothing less than amazing. Much respect.

On so many songs the drummer and Ron (guitar/keyboards) sing together and it sounds like one single voice. Someone is shooting this and handling the mixing board and doing a killer job of that too.

Yes they are now I believe. This is no doubt because they are sooooo freakin' good. But there are also very good cover or show bands prior to them in the Philippines before. Unfortunately they didn't have the technology that the REO Brothers have in today's time. Had KZfaq become available during the 70s and the 80s, probably there are so many cover bands like the REO Brothers the world can Watch and know. I bet viewers around the world would get confused who will be their favorite then. But I can say that, the REO Brothers would have been one of the most famous or one of the top-5 then.

cc: The lyrics were originally "Mrs. Roosevelt". Paul Simon played riffs of the song as filler music for "The Graduate" during filming. He changed the words to Mrs. Robinson for the movie, but didn't have a completed song at the release of the film. It wasn't till "Mrs. Robinson" became a hit after the movie was released that he finished the song and recorded it. He said the "Joe DiMaggio" line came to him in a stream of consciousness. He wasn't sure what It meant, he just liked the way it sounded.
