This is an experiment in self-harmony. I've been seeing a lot of self-harmony, and a lot about it, from
colson,
The Beach Bears and
RhubarbCub especially. My last attempts were fairly laughable, but I figured I'd give it a shot again.
That's pretty much it. I would have liked to have more vocal tracks (there are but two), and I cannot snap or clap to save my life. I have good rhythm, I swear, my hands are just stupid. D:
Original song by Chumbawamba.

Oh, get up. You are worthy... you are worthy...
I wasn't familiar with "El Fusilado" so I had to Google it. I think it's definitely doable (hey, they did it!) but that chorus may be a bit ambitious for a harmony-singing novice. Since you seem to be familar with the song, you might back up to the second half of the first verse, which is just a duet.
Your voice skews a bit low (your version dropped approximately a fourth, from C to G, probably because you're afraid of being too loud in your mic), so sing along with the melody first until you're comfortable with that; then try the upper part, which might seem awkward at first but I think you can do it because I've heard your speaking voice creep into that register.
Lather, rinse, repeat!

It sounds decent to me! When starting to record myself I found that playing exactly in time with anything else was much harder than it appeared - when listening to yourself you're exposed to all sorts of little issues that the brain just corrects when you're actually playing it.
