Toxic Audio - Big Yellow Taxi

A Capella is not a genre one hears very often. Perhaps it's out of style or too difficult to do well.

Toxic Audio seems to have it down. They're known for their instrument-free renditions of some popular favourites, like "Voices Carry," "Come Together," and "50 Ways," a spin on Paul Simon's "50 Ways To Leave Your Lover."

Here, they cover Joni Mitchell's song "Big Yellow Taxi", which, for clarification, includes the famous lyric "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot." Give it a listen and see if it grows on you.
