SR-71 - 1985 [with lyrics]

[SalamenceJacketJeans]

i like the BFS version and the SR71 version, :3

[dreaminggkatie2436]

this good, since it's the original.... but i've always known the bfs version as the original to me...

[np19parkour]

Isn't the lead singer in this the punk in the BFS cover?

[pennstate713]

@np19parkour No, Mitch is just doing solo recordings now. Also producing songs in TV shows.

[np19parkour]

@pennstate713 Sorry that was a mistake on my half, I mean the video? I believe its when there in black dresses and make up, he gives them a dirty look,

[pennstate713]

@np19parkour Oooh, lol yes, I believe that is him.

[SuperR1991]

Best catchy song ever

[TheLeeLeonard17]

@1:54 it says "Ask hersefl" never noticed it until about the third time round! (:

[hypemiitrudog07]

Bowling for Soup should go back in time and cause a time paradox so that they made this song. However, SR-71 gets credit for letting bowling for soup use their song

[AkeelaPyro]

Holeh shiyat. Lmfao. I love this song, it never fails to make me smile. I first heard it by Bowling for Soup, but that doesn't keep this version from being pretty decent. It does sound pretty much the same as BFS, but I did notice that some lines were DEFINITELY different. I think I would have to say I prefer BFS, if only because that's where I originally heard it, and their's is more... I don't know how to put it, silly? I did notice the "The rubber broke!" though. XD

[MYcatzR00L]

This was a pointless cover to record Haha. It sounds exactly the same as the original. Maybe if it were more metal or country.. I dunno

[soyourcar]

@MYcatzR00L This is the original :p

[jbinthacoc]

@MYcatzR00L it is the original you fucking idiot. bowling for soup covered it. look it up.

[Sanixlove]

My song :D

[coolspyro17]

This is currently my favorite song.

More people need to hear this. This song has such awesome lyrics.

[April6243]

I like this way better than the BFS version. <3

[killingdelilah]

im not big on correcting grammar on the internet but come on "here dreams went out the door" cmon man its "her dreams went out the door"

[dopeyhol]

im in high school and i think its amazing that it says her two kids in high school tell her shes uncool cuz she still preoccupied with 1985 when im kinda obsessed with the 80's and im in high school soo it would be awesome if my mom were still preoccupied with the 80's

[hypemiitrudog07]

We should know SR-71 made the original. However, SR-71 really made a mistake handing to Bowling for Soup. Bowling for Soup made the good version. I think this is ok, but Bowling for Soup really did a much better cover.

[the0nation]

BFS version is way better. I mean, these guys are ok, but BFS killed it. Jus' Sayin'

[thechannelofamazent]

@the0nation gotta say your wrong there my friend

[the0nation]

@thechannelofamazent Maybe if I had heard this version first, but I've been listening to BFS for way longer than SR-71

[dog070]

THE RUBBER BROKE!

[scribster100]

great song fry's voice sr71 its so amazing its like the best musical burger ever!!

[jtfrost27]

To all you dumbasses that think BFS's the original well ur a dumbass SR-71 wrote it and BFS coverd it

[getsomelead]

lol at The Rubber Broke

[TechnoWaffol]

@getsomelead Same. XD

[xhutathanatos]

the original which includes the line "shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnakes car" is SR-71

[Fiendish0Thingie]

@xhutathanatos they say that line in the cover, too, ya derp.

[smullendoremusic]

@twilightlover0211 look it up fag. this is original. and twilights gay

[adamjanu29]

@smullendoremusic

Best comment I've ever read.

[makeup4girlz]

@smullendoremusic Yes twilight is, but maybe you should be nice :) it is the original though just saying

[IIIArbiIII]

@twilightlover0211 honey. Song is from SR-71. BFS just cover it...

[makeup4girlz]

@IIIArbiIII Haha at least your nice about it xD

[Voltslav]

lol 1:59

[allen42b]

I'm more in favor of bfs' version, but they can't beat the line: "...what happened to me? THE RUBBER BROKE!" Wonder how many moms think that...

[PirateMikey1313]

Play this along with the Bowling For Soup cover. its awesome

[virusINJUSTICE]

bfs cover was awesome, but the guitar here is more awesome than the bfs.

[IPlayTehGtar]

Cant decide weather i like this version over the bowling for soup one...

[BooBerry141]

like if your gonna listen to this in 2085 i know i am :D

[Manwhichman8u]

@BooBerry141 wat

[Funkypear23o]

the rubber broke!

XD

[VenemaIkaon]

"The rubber broke!"

That line is the reason SR-71's version is better. Makes me laugh every time.

[PrincessFitzherbert2]

bfs version better

[WhyNawtProds]

Prefer BFS Version, Respect to SR-71 for Handing over Rights

[ronayne1996]

@WhyNawtProds If my theory is right then I think I know why you like that one better ;)

[WhyNawtProds]

@ronayne1996 Why do you think that is?

[ronayne1996]

@WhyNawtProds Do you watch the music video for the BFS version? If so, and you havn't realised it yet, then I don't think it matters.

[aguyandarock]

bfs is the original  and bfs's version is so much better

[manashrj]

@aguyandarock actually sr 71's version is the original one. but i agree with you that bfs's version is way better!

[aguyandarock]

@manashrj why havent they sued them yet

[Blayze13]

@aguyandarock They haven't sued because BFS asked and received permission to do a cover of the song.

[NumbFlynn]

@aguyandarock The original was SR-71.

[MatthewUrsaki]

I always listened to Bowling for Soups version, unaware this was the original, let alone it existed. I like this one a little bit more..

[ExpertDude13]

I had no idea that this was the original until now.

[theJorisM]

I like BFS better than sr 71, but for this song I'm choosing sr 71

[caitlinthegreywolf]

i love original



[ThinMint2009]

seriously people. its the same song, but bowling for soup changed 1/2 of the lyrics.

[KaztenStudios]

I love this song, but i do think it fits bowling for soup a little more. (i still like this version better though)

[MrStaetdler99]

I heard the bowling for soup version first and thought it was great, but now hearing this I realise this one is awesome as well, so I can understand why people get annoyed that bfs got famous off this but they are both great and slightly different

[xxxWolFangxxx]

SR-71 is a great band...im a little pissed that Bowling For Soup got famous off their song

[ThinMint2009]

@xxxWolFangxxx becuase bowling for soup is much more mainstream

[shipsandsluts]

@xxxWolFangxxx They got famous because Sr-71 gave them the song rights and helped promote it. The two lead singers are friends. Mitch appears in BFS' music video for 1985.

[gamerbeing]

sr-71 has better song than this...bfs gets the cred 4 this song

[DeadlyPawnageVEVO]

If SR-71 made this, Bowling for Soup perfected it. They are way better in my opinion. I like both bands, but with this song, I prefer Bowling for Soup

[puuiki]

is this wierd Al?

[blastedpotato]

This was one of SR-71's best songs and gave it to Bowling For Soup.

[jmcl8862]

quit worrying who wrote the damn song nd just scroll up and listen to the fucking music....GAWD !

[jmcl8862]

BFS soooo did not make this 

[ChubzChannel]

I started listening to SR-71 like a year ago, through people bitching in the commentsection, I started listening to Bowling For Soup.

Thanks bitches of the internet - Bowling For Soup is now my second favourite bands.

[dragonciv1]

this seems like the original but i love both

[JONASPuppy887]

I do like BFS's version a LOT better but either way it's an EPIC song

[randomlimit27]

personally i prefer BFS version. only cuz their guitar intro riff fits the rest of the song WAY better. but i do get mad that SR-71 barely gets any credit for it like they rightfully should.

[redsfan182]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[arcanumdown]

Classic song. If memory serves right, didnt Butch Walker write this for SR-71 then give it to BFS?

[mookkeypa]

@arcanumdown .. sorry dude, written by Mitch Allan - SR-71's singer. I know him personally. Look him up, awesome songwriter.

[pippa21336]

I like this one but, I think the BFS is just... better. It's funnier, catchier and I'm really glad they chose to cover it :)

I still think this one's awesome though

[thedeadtoad1]

bfs!!!

[Bobdb95]

the rubber brocke ^^

[cherry12947]

To be Honest the cover Bowling for soup did is better but that my honest opinion. :P and No, Im not here to start a war on whitch one is better. If you like this one thats fine, Im not complaining!!

[MrDoctorNintendo]

WHEN HE SINGS HE SOUNDS LIKE FRY!!!!!!!!

[cfcolly]

come on... really? they never gave any credit. This cant have been first?

[gzephier]

the original version, this one, is a lot funnier than the bowling for soup version lol jkjkjk

[kyshXx]

I feel so bad that I gave credit to Bowling For Soup for this song. This one is SOOOOOO much better!!

[AKExterminator]

Wow its like Sr71 wrote all the goods and dont get credit for it untill we do research ;)

[gamefreak944]

best song best band nothing can ruin their songs

[superstar1010109]

Fucking this is Fucking Beasted SONGGGG

[stormpegasus0666]

FUCK YEAH!!

[darktomacu]

Blackbird anyone

[darktomacu]

1:59 Best Part

[mvz1991]

the rubber broke ;)

[loveduckyinside]

I like this band lots but I like the Bowling For Soup version bestest. Both if these bands rock, though. (: Woo!

[sometimes347]

i love this song!!!

[pikapikafox]

i remember this song when i was 4 and i have been looking for it since then. i love this song!!!! btw im 12 now lol

[ledge24]

listen, Jaret Reddick, THE LEAD SINGER OF BOWLING FOR SOUP, was friends with this band, and WROTE THIS SONG 1985, FOR THIS BAND, hence REDDICK wrote the song, and technically its bowling for soup

[Nathpeggsy]

@ledge24 according to wikipedia ( i know its not too trustworthy) this band wrote the song first, and bfs covered it...

[theJorisM]

@ledge24 I'm a huge BFS fan, but I gotta say you're wrong. mitch allen from sr-71 wrote it and let BFS cover it since they were friends and it seemed more like a BFS song to him.

[mileyseldemiidebby]

This reminds of the time when I came into the kitchen and found my mom dancing to some really old school songs talk about akward

[kinyia7]

holy sh*t i only knew the bfs version then i read a comment saying this was the original and i gotta say....THIS TOTALLY ROCKS!!! lol i love this one way better

>-< but i still like the bfs one lol!

[BryarKellison]

This song should be on guitar hero!!! thumbs up if u agree

[compassedu]

why the lyrics are different from BFS's one ?

[computerpunk41]

@compassedu Because it's a cover. Well I don't know who is the original, there is a dispute, but from what I know this is the original and BFS made a cover of it, and when you make a cover, you make things your way, it's the same song but minor differences so it's your song.

[Blammeth]

It could matter less what you guys say, SR-71 gave them the song cause they didn't think it was them, so they gave it to THEIR FRIENDS Bowling For Soup (big mistake career wise) and, thought they play it for their last album anyway :P THERE WAS SERIOUSLY NO CONTROVERSY!

[dmastax1x]

Much better than bowling for gay soup

[xHaruKohakux]

Stop fighting...

The original is this, by SR-71.

[tamiiland]

Wow, first time I listen to this version. (: Sweet! <33

[guttershnipe97]

THIS THE ORIGINAL

I like both tho

[RougeX72]

FUCK YEAH!! 1985

[ThePrettymuchlovely]

What??? I thought it was she seen all the classic she knows every line

And thought shed get a hand from a member of dran dran?????

[The1PARAMOREfan]

@ThePrettymuchlovely fail

[StonyArc]

@ThePrettymuchlovely That's Bowling For Soup's cover, this one's the original

[MegaWolfsBlood]

@StonyArc really? i didnt know that. im not trying to be mean i really didnt know that.

[eveslmatrix]

@ThePrettymuchlovely this is the original

[lifeiaskedfor]

@eveslmatrix this isn't the original the original is by bfs,they have all rights to it

[beerealisgood4u]

@lifeiaskedfor no they dont. cangrats, your a retard.

[lifeiaskedfor]

@beerealisgood4u congrats aparently u don't know ur history :P

[kurtgaylor]

@lifeiaskedfor You're a dick, Get ya facts right before you write a comment.

[Cierra135790]

my mom says this is her song xD

[SydniBrothenTV]

I love the part with "there was music still on mtv" just how it sound with the guitar :P i think its amazing xD

[Excalibr5]

Since Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, way before Nirvana there was U2, and Blondie, and Music still on MTV, her two kids, in Highschool, they tell her that she's uncool cause she's still preoccupied, with 19, 19, 1985! :D love this song :3

[whatsupbato]

"HER RUBBER BROKE!" Hahaha

[Defenitelytrollin]

BFS and SR-71 collaborated on this song for all you fanboy gayfags... also spelling mistakes everywhere in this video.

[DarkestofTimes]

This version is different...in some ways. It's funny though lol. Both are great.

[draimanfan1984]

the lyrics got changed when bowling for soup did the remake.

[Kamakazi105]

arent the lead singers of BFS and SR-71 mates or something?

[Thief796]

@Kamakazi105 yeah they are in some relation so...

[MrRik338]

@Kamakazi105 yh they are

[Punkette43]

both versions rock

[rudorot65]

Are there other versions if so which one came first I've seen BFS

[musicVamp527]

All these years and I didn't know BFS's "1985" was a cover.

This one is ok, but I think I perfer Bowling For Soup's verison, this one is a bit too slow. But that could be because I'm used to the BFS verison.

[BrieIsAlsoCheese]

I like Bowling for Soups version better... Jussayin

[sjthorn]

I like both BFS' version, but I prefer this one hands down

[TruthTheSpeaker]

fuckin BFS stealing the sunshine once again

[990Barcelona]

I like both but bfs was better.

[XxXLovelyLyricsXxX]

I like Bowling for Soups cover better. they put a good spin on a great song :) that SR-71 made

[00luna]

Who cares about who sang it first? both bands kick ass and this song kicks ass as well :D

[Kling66]

Wow, had no idea that BFS was covering this song. I guess most people like the version they heard first most, so BFS are my favorite version. This is also a good version of a good song though.

All credit to SR-71!

[JesusWasBornOn420]

i like the lyrics in this one better than bowling for soup's version

[albertremong]

Bowling For Soup ROCK!! U know SR71 change the lyrics. it was best but the original is more best.

[Scott7946]

I love bowling for soup but to me nothing is better that the original!!!!

also they have different lyrics so!

[SubbingForFree]

What's the point of the same song by two bands..Personaly bowling for soups is better;)

[Thebrowntown1234]

EVERYBODY SHUT THE FUCK UP! WE ALL HAVE AN OPINION ON WHOS VERSION IS BETTER BUT THAT DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO VOICE IT. SO SHUT UP AND JUST LISTEN.

[Craigluver809]

Childern quit arguing cuz no one gives a sh!t

[PikachuxLove01]

Now, the only thing on MTV is pregnant teens. ._.

[PikachuxLove01]

I like this version better, but I like em both. (:

[9lk00583]

Both are awesome. Case Closed

[Craigluver809]

I lik this version. But bfs version is better

[BigClubPenguinFan300]

pfft bowling for soup

[HadleyLane95]

I can't even find the bowling for soup one. The one I found with lyrics won't work.

[MrsCookieMonster13]

Oh i like this.... i like the bowling for soup one to though

[WeGotAwesomeDisorder]

SR-71 gave the song to BFS O:

[MrRik338]

[portalfan132]

[fasty1996]

[Katherineyates14]

Haha! THE RUBBER BROKE!

[Napriz1]

SR-71 is very noisy...but it's better than Sum 41!!

Sum 41 rocks;

SR-71 DESTROYS!!

[sum41fan3434]

@Napriz1 dude, no way is that true. Sr and Sum rock out together!

[pkmn7777777]

this version is good and all, but the bowling for soup's version flows better and works the lyrics better IMO

[neo123sos]

@BladeofRa I'm winning. :D

[cmonkeypro]

it be funny if they mention walmart in the song

[shayprescott2]

I'm glad they gave this song to Bowling for Soup because I don't think the song fits them.

[huhlolproductions]

i like listening to this version, then to the bowling for soup version, that way you can really hear the diffrence :D

[XxIchigoXHalibelXx]

LOLS The Rubber Broke! This is the only late 90's early 2000's band I will listen to.

[joeski4]

THE RUBBER BROKE!!!!! XD
