Can't

[ElectricNeonBlue]

why does the intro sound like teenage mutant ninja turtles?? :D

[s0merand0mdude95]

it's the skaa remix!

[Darvys]

It really sounds like a noise, not a song. Hoooraaayyy for doctor noise :D

[vesleMari]

I love this cover, but I still like the original better! :)

[TheBloodMoonShines]

This song is amazing. :D

It reminds me of AFI, a lot...?

[reinix]

God, I love your covers :D

[MichaelKenneth19]

theyre like fags that having a gay party at their house and its so not cool

[bo0kw05m]

Is it hard to play guitar with that mask on?

I love this cover, but it won't download on iTunes :(

[doctornoise]

@bo0kw05m practically impossible haha

[virverum]

Yours is by far my favorite version. Excellent work.

[doctornoise]

@virverum thanks so much <3

[Marj12592]

I love the woah's in this so much. haha One of my favorite parts of this version.

[doctornoise]

@Marj12592 yaaaay :)

[LEEKIMHOUNG]

what the .. ?

[iownyewall]

Bill's covers make me happy to be alive. Then, the originals.. those are like pure gold.

Awesome cover, I think I love all three versions.

[doctornoise]

@iownyewall there's a million versions of this song now, I love 'em all too!

[smashleyBFMV]

i love the original video

[kaylenfalse]

I just realized I wasn't subscribed to you. How did that happen? hmmm..

[OhmigodAreyouserious]

A lot of people don't seem to understand that the point of covering a song isn't to make it better than the original. They're so different, I think it's ok to like both.

[doctornoise]

@OhmigodAreyouserious ;) you are correct.

[bekabee24]

This is so freakin epic!! Win for doctornoise! Seriously, I can't believe how well this song fits in this style.

also - wow.... I am disappointed by the amount of people on here who don't get the point of a maxi single....lol

[doctornoise]

@bekabee24 welcome to a world where stupid is allowed a voice xD

[breakthroughassault]

this is still one of my favorite songs ever

[doctornoise]

@breakthroughassault cheers mate!

[countcube]

I love this version, you rock!

If anything, it's at the very least better than the ALL CAPS version, which I also quite enjoyed

[781228XX]

I like this. I think I'll buy this.

[Pollishus]

i love the original and you guys did a cool rendition of this ;)

[SmileysAreMagical]

i prefer the original video

this just seems tacky and as if ur making fun of the original which im sure ur not

but it annoys me

so even tho i prefer ur version the original is better

:)

[Lugiaheart]

The original is better.

D:

[Dunn0ne]

i think the original is better.... (I THINK)

[MichaelKenneth19]

this is stupid the original version is best

[iownyewall]

@MichaelKenneth19 I understand you don't like it, but next time try not to be so rude.

[FlameDemo]

I do like it, but I'm sorry, any song without Tom Milsom just isn't good enough for me ]=

[doctornoise]

lol, is that your way of saying... no song is good without Tom? you may be his biggest fan ;)

[FlameDemo]

@doctornoise i adore him! haha!

[peacelover1651]

poor little puppet i say give your self a mouth and sow the little girls mouth together so she nkow how it gfeels

[kkhaydee164]

awesome :P

[MsSparta14]

its ok but my fav is still the original

[duuumb]

friggin awesome

n___n

[pennpluto14]

a little Irish drinking songish but i liked it, a good cover, you put your sound to the original well.

[holdthescuzimanAINT]

ahhh!

I like the original. but then making a cover that changes it to my favorite music genre?

5 stars.

[Adrianboxcarracer]

Good Cover...Better then orginal :)

[LadyLizzyLizard]

No it is not

[Adrianboxcarracer]

yes it is ;)

[j21721j21721]

no its not

[punkslilncs]

Yes it is :)

[mrmonkey238]

I think the music was to loud for the song it is suposed to be a nice soft beat

[xXxkillerxkerstinxXx]

i kinda like it haha

it sounds pretty wicked

[RethParish]

Nice attempt.

[scarpredator247]

I like the other one better

[shiningeyes999x]

Haha this is cool. but I like the other original better.

[doctornoise]

I'm glad you enjoyed the song!

[kyomaru411]

this is a happier version of the song lol. I love this too!

[doctornoise]

hooray! cheers

[emobutterfly12]

wth man

[doggiking]

so much better!

[doctornoise]

I'm glad you enjoyed the song.

[XpriceXofXbloodX]

i liked this version alot better

[doctornoise]

I'm glad you liked it.

[abbeycat104]

i like this version ,but it conveys a different meaning to the original.

[doctornoise]

tiz true. ;)

[Ramboclot]

For some reason I feared for the singer to fail...but he didn't. This version is way better than original.

[doctornoise]

you dare question me?! ;) I'm glad you liked the song.

[bobogej]

very nice

[doctornoise]

thanks bob

[Becky2266]

LOVED IT! :D

I love the original song, and I love your cover as well! :)

[Francis9105]

You should make some original ska songs!

This cover is fantastic.

-Francis

[latestranger]

Blade, that is aweosme. But remember, Bill has also been a baseball, basketball, rugby, and tennis player, among other careers as a children's book author, a lawyer, a MLB manager, a drummer for Medeski Martin and Wood and a guitarist for Good Charlotte.

Bill, why didn't you tell us you were so accomplished?

[doctornoise]

I didn't wanna sound all braggy pants. Duh. XD

[punkslilncs]

Are you kidding me???

[Blade5468]

Bill Martin (born William Wylie Macpherson, 9 November 1938, Govan, Glasgow) is a Scottish songwriter, music publisher and impresario.

Wow, Bill, I didn't know you were this old. Or Scottish.

The irony is insane though, that guy being a songwriter and all.

[FreqyBiker]

it doesn't matter hopw many times I hear this track- the intro STILL sounds like the original theme to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles!

Bill- quality cover, as always.

[cazxpenguin]

hah i thought it sounded like teenage muntant ninja turtles too :)!

awesome cover bill

[punkslilncs]

I'm not hearing it.. and I so was hoping to, I love TMNT.

[doctornoise]

haha, that's funny. Thanks a lot! :)

[owningyourfinances]

LOL - Rock on man!

[dougiedannyluv]

*favorite*

Absolutely amazing. I love your nerdness:)

[doctornoise]

haha, thanks mate

[L0VEgun]

lenore ftw

[erfelgamazig]

That was the awesomest thing I've ever seen, Bill!

[Silver1226]

I lvoe your music ^__^

[emmfan09]

This was awesome, Bill! Can't wait for Subreality!!

[kisachan18]

SO JOKES!

[E290]

lol wow awesomely cooly

[shaylaluna]

This is very creative. I really enjoyed but I think I enjoy the original better, the song is slower and seems to fit the meaning. Nonetheless this is more fun to dance and scream along to.

[xxxSinead96]

I love this so much. It's truly epic <33333

[doctornoise]

thank youuuuuu

[GinAnMaCa]

This was very awesome, both the music and the video.

[PaulSaysThings]

oh hey look, its adam. i didnt know him when i first saw this.

[smilinglimpet]

that's really awesome.... :D surreal puppet masks ftw!

[CaptainWilhelm]

SKAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[thetallkid]

since when has the late doctor noise ever done anything remotely emo??

[LifeNeedsWork]

This is love. As always. :D

[AshleyDough]

<3 Awesome cover, as always, Billiam. 863 stars.

How'd you do the marionette thing? I'm fascinated and slightly confused.

[xXDiscoLemonadeXx]

Awesome Bill! I like how you incorporated bits of Alan's music video into yours. The mask is epic! :)

-Jenea

[PrimusTool08]

Damn, that's a fuckin' cool video!

[adamskaviolet]

Oh, wow. This is so awesome.

[spazzumgurl]

Is that @adamwmichaels who pops up at 0:53. I think it is. :) lol

[spazzumgurl]

Your pure awesome nerdfighter comebacks make me smile Bill. :)

[blithium]

I think you mean. . .HE'S EPIC!

[spazzumgurl]

Yes, that is in fact what I mean Blith. Reading my mind again are we . . . tsk tsk tsk.

Seriously. Epic.

Emo. Never. *rolls eyes at non drocker ignorance*

[blithium]

. . .follow adamwmichaels on twitter. . .

[ItTakesII]

Awesome, really like your cover (of course), the masks are slightly creepy but I do like the concept, especially the puppet strings.

-Julian

[longse0]

ugh! Practically emo!

[doctornoise]

are you just making a joke? (removed my previous comment just in case you were)

[longse0]

sort of kind of not really

I like the song though

the music video was just emo what with the puppet thing and the mask and everybody wearing grey striped shirts although the chorus was cool...

[doctornoise]

then i should have left my previous comment up then. Ska / Punk and grey shirts is not emo. Emo is a style of music derived from the hardcore scene in the 80s, later renamed for the stylings of bands like the Get Up Kids and Sunny Day Real Estate in the 90's. Emo is a word that has now formed itself into absolutely no meaning whatsoever, cept for people to use it when they want to talk poorly about someone. It means absolutely nothing.

[longse0]

that's cool, didn't know there was that much history behind it

[punkslilncs]

Sometimes you put me in awe.

[SupremeAmanda]

You did an awesome job on this one. It sounds completely different than the (amazing) original, but in an awesome way.

Look forward to see what you come up with next.

[Marj12592]

Haha this is so awesome.

[charliepace101]

very great, another fav. of mine. XD

[hazelizabeth]

Wow, awesome!

Paper mask ;

^_^

-Hazel

[cupcakes0711]

When this video first started I was like "Woah Bill, whatcha doin' there..." but then you won me over (yet again) by the end of the first verse. Arguably better than the Alan/Tom version--and that's saying something. *kudos*

[doctornoise]

yaaay I'm glad you enjoyed it so much cupcake!

[thhelix]

This was just Awesome.

Bill, you need to cover EVERY song ever written.

[doctornoise]

hahaha, that's a tall order!

[htpo]

your covers tend to be better than the originals

[doctornoise]

I approve your comment. lol... seriously though thank you

[WanderingConfused]

LOL The mask made me think Jhonen Vasquez.

Awesome job!

[doctornoise]

ooooh, yes I can see that. Ed's drawing of that character kinda looks a Jhonen style too, if you ask me. :)

[UncoProductions]

awesome XP

[doctornoise]

thanks unco!

[WasItJustMe]

Great cover. Didn't really know what to expect but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

[doctornoise]

haha, thanks much

[sawdust4stardust]

this is amazing! i didnt think you could do anything better than the original song but its fantastic, awesome job!

[doctornoise]

thanks stardust!

[sammicula]

I loved that. good job! :)

[doctornoise]

thank ya gurl freeeeeeen

[spixdon]

This was amazingly well done. I love that you took it to a completely different genre of music and really made the cover your own. Great job on using some of the imagery from the music video for 'Can't' as well. I don't think that I can say enough positive things about this cover. You are incredibly talented and I hope you continue making music for a long time to come.

[doctornoise]

thanks thanks thanks! I really appreciate your descriptive comment (and would if it was criticism too). you rule spixdon

[loboanjo]

awesome bill awesome

[doctornoise]

appreciate it lobo

[MusicIsFreedom42]

LOVE it.

Well done :)

[doctornoise]

thanks!

[doctornoise]

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII wanna rock and roll aaaaaaaaaaall niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight! AND PARTAY EVERY DAY!

[hopeonatenspeed]

you are so much fun.

[CleverestWitch2188]

I always seem to love your covers of songs, Bill. You take an awesome song on it's own like "Can't" and turn it into something fun and rocking.

How do you do it, Bill? HOW?

-Sara

[doctornoise]

I sold my soul to the make alternate versions of songs devil. XD

[dedicatedrr]

Cool, like the video :D Love this version! (And the other one, too. It's hard to pick XP)

[doctornoise]

no need to pick, they're different enough that you can listen to both! :)

[shawnmarie2004]

Yay, human marionettes!

Loved the cover! I should have a review of the CD shortly so that I may own this fantastic piece of music. =-)

[doctornoise]

[AdmiralGreenscreen]

Loved the group you got together. You should put some of these in HD sometime.

[doctornoise]

I actually would, but I don't have an HD camera, so it wouldn't be worth it to expand on the resolution :( wish I had one though

[shaha403]

Loved it! Very interesting take on the song =D

[doctornoise]

thank you shaha!

[xGlowFliesx]

Ahhh I can't wait until Taking Leave comes so I can do the blog entry to get this!

'Tis fantastic!

[doctornoise]

yaaaay, I'm glad you purchased it!

[GoldenGryffin]

Hah this was great fun. You really made it work as a ska tune :D

[doctornoise]

thanks! ska/punk used to be about all I listened to back in the late late 90's. :)

[superj0kes]

i can't even tell you how much of my hero you are.

[TMBG1337]
