New York City Buskers Sound Just Like the Beatles

From Matt Whitยญlock comes a tweet feaยญturยญing Amiri and Rahiem Tayยญlor, two New York City buskers, singing a spot-on verยญsion of The Beaยญtยญlesโ€™ โ€œEight Days a Week.โ€ Close your eyes and imagยญine lisยญtenยญing to John and Paul.

Accordยญing to their webยญsite, Amiri and Rahiem are twins from Bed Stuy, Brookยญlyn. And although they grew up โ€œsurยญroundยญed by hip hop culยญture and all itโ€™s gloยญry,โ€ they had expoยญsure to pop and funk, and theyโ€™ve steadiยญly built up a Beaยญtยญles reperยญtoire. You can find plenยญty othยญer Beaยญtยญles covยญers by the twins on YouTube. Enjoy.
