  • @horaciosi One word:BOOOOOOOOOOOOOBIES!!!

  • its the family guy one

  • I was under the impression the bird is the word.

  • Its ok

  • Richard Green's audition brought me here ;)

  • Awesome "Grungy" sound.

  • Maybe the best song ever, it doesn't matter who makes the cover of it. It is always fucking good song xD

  • I've listened to the KoЯn cover a thousand times, probably... But this one is better. :)

  • I know four versions for "Word Up": Cameo, Gun, Cocchino and Korn.

    I like them all individually, no comparison.

    This version rocks, anyways!

  • @MsMath777 and boss hoss

  • @grs231 and voltaj

  • "Off of the Cameo album Word Up!(1986)" . . . maybe the ORIGINAL Cameo version was off the Cameo album but if anyone tries to find THIS version on THAT album . . . well . . . sheesh . . . that AINT gonna happen!

  • THE BEST COVER!

  • this version is nigga rich !

  • This Version is the BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST and Million thousand trillion times BEST !

  • Fuckin ay!! This so rocks!!! Best version ever - great vocal, blistering guitar, in fact everything about it makes me wanna jump around the room. The absolute in cool.

  • I don't know why but this song always makes me horny. I could fuck someone up to this tune.

  • I find it odd that the band Gun is best known for covering this song.

  • i love this song. I wish Downtown Radio would play it.

  • and this ain't bad either........for a "Cover"

  • I love Cameo's original song, but Gun's version is stunning! Funk metal baby! :D

  • EARGASMSSSSSS !!!

  • best instrumental=this, best vocals=korn

  • korns version is better

  • In my opinion, this version and Korn's version is pretty much the same. The only difference is the singers. Either way, this song ROCKS and was the only good part about Barb Wire.

  • The original cameo version is better

  • I say its about time Pink did a version.  ;)

  • this version is pretty good, but the best is Koяn's version (:

  • This cover kicks the shit out of Korns.

  • @Teenager2thecore Eh, this is the original...

  • @Arcterion Eh, no it isn't...

  • @sarin82 Yeah, my bad, found it out later. :P

  • @Arcterion The original is by Cameo.

  • korns version is better, but i really like this version too

  • I like korns version better since i heard it before i heard this one... and propobly becouse its better to

  • This is the best version of this song.

  • Korn version is better.

  • Korn WHO?

  • @ahybsch ooh... just a little band from bakersfield california that kicks so much ass

  • i love this song from Barb Wire

  • @ElderGodBrandon when she dances on the pole

  • Barb Wire. A horrible movie... but at least it introduced this song to me. I like it a lot :)

  • ugly .....

  • This cover is way better than Korn's pansy ass cover.

  • @emielios188 Bullshit, this one is.

  • word up\m/

  • thx

  • I heard Sinbad perform this song on his latest Comedy special, he rocks it harder than anyone else to date XD

  • DAMN! How many peaple sampled this song?!

  • Where is Barb Wire?? :D

  • @jerrymail ha that was a funny movie

  • this sucks

  • I agree with dudman89

  • korn's version is the best

  • lol this kinda sounds like Korn...

    Theyre both real good though

  • I heard the Korn version before this one. I really liked it. But after listening to this the Korn version kinda seemed... lame...

  • @oskarius93

    I know what what you mean. =P

    This ones... how do you say...

    Fuckin' epic. =P

  • I don't know why everyone loves the Korn version more than this one. This one has so much more energy and just fucking kicks ass.

  • @onorebakasama word up!

  • I like Korn's one, but I think this one has so much more energy and variety in it, its got a lot more texture and I just prefer it in general, but I really do like how dark and twisted Jonathan Davis' voice is.

  • @yngwiesviking this. The two versions are better for their own reasons, small and big (like at 1:55, in the KoЯn cover, there is an echo of Up that sounds really cool, and other small stuff like that) so its hard to actually decide which is better.

  • Korn version is better

  • @19rk96 ya ur right korns version is better

  • fkn rocks!

  • I got many many many many.... versions of "Word up" (I'm a freak, I'm collectin all versions of "Word up" xD) - but THIS is the best one ^^ Thank you so much for uploading it =)

  • @ZibRocker Your argument was valid until you stated that one would have to be insane to have a different opinion than you.

  • Fuck! this version rocks...

  • This and Cameo < KoRn!

  • Sounds a bit more bad ass than Korn, Korn is good too but this version kicks asses!

  • I love Korn very much, but the original is the better song! ;)

  • this song sux the original is mutch better F'ck u guys sorry

  • daym if this is amazing today.... i wonder how it was back then! lmao rock on ,\,,/

  • this song is about getting down on the dance floor--not singing.

    this cover doesn't have the same funky soul and self-mocking sense of humor as the original.

  • 0:43 ; 0:51 autotune forever :D

  • you arent very smart are you?

  • @Korben418

    Of course... Autotune in 1986 hahahahaha

  • 1994 my bad... but Autotune was released 1997 so you´re still wrong.

  • why do you have a pic of cameo while this is gun?

  • both gun and korn cover this song well but be reminded that larry blackman and thomas jenkins of cameo wrote the music. give cameo the respect and appreciation they deserve.

  • @1999kenwortht300

    Shit film though the only reason i watched it cos pammy got her awesome ROCKING! tits at the time ;-)

  • I agree.

  • This Song makes me fly like Superman.

    Really this should be Superman theme.

    Now that's Cool.

  • Too bad such an awesome song had to be in such a crappy movie!

  • I think this is the best cover!!! :D

  • @miguelblakeON12 no no no korn is real bad ass, both versions rock the fuck out of the original rap one, but korn is real bad ass hardcore shit

  • wtf men? you suck.

  • @miguelblakeON12 hell yeah! fuck the thumbs down on you! i like korn, but cameos original version is 100 times better than any of the covers of it. respect the fuckin' origins.

  • Es la mejor version sin dudarlo!!!!

  • loooove this version of the song!!!!!!!!!

  • Saw GUN in May time at the Duchess, York. Loved it when they played this.

  • Woawh Awesome ... But I prefere Korn version , but this version is very cool +5 and favorit

  • Korn and this version are great :D

  • ok...this is persnally my fav. version and korn is my fav. band!but i think we can all agree that theyre all better than the hoss boss version.!!

  • the cameo version (and korn) voise is i dont know creppy or something but whatever i like this 1 better or mabey its just that i listend to gun first :/

  • KoRn Humilha!

  • The original by Cameo kills both this version and Korn's. They are okay, but something is seriously lacking: soul.

  • it's not all about singing, the cameo version has no insruments. :\

  • Huh? What do you mean? Cameo's version does have instruments.

  • wow, you don't even care about the instruments... :\

  • the original (cameo) sounds too boring to me.

    i don't like the melanie b version because it's pop.

    and the korn version sounds like pop too :\.

    this is the best version imo.

  • i heard this short part of this song in the movie the 40 yo virgin xD

  • surfjunkie42 has not heard mel b's version lol!!!!

  • Korn's version is much better. :/

  • This version I really find horrible.

    It doesnt come natural this sont to the singer...

    It sounds a bit too gay for me..

    ...by the way...I am gay.

  • fag

  • i like the instrumental better on this one

  • Korns one and this one are both pretty good.

    This one has a better guitar arrangement, whereas Korns has a better Bass

  • wot a version it would be if both bands combined to do this song! Now, THAT would be cool!

  • This version is the best of all <3

  • this version has a good solo and shit, but other than that, Korns cover is a million lightyears better

  • All Versions are good !

  • agreed i loke the korn version better i just wanted to hear this and i listened to the origonal

  • your mum is so much better than this

  • One thing is true...This version rocks more than others!

  • @TheBigBoss777 as you can tell by my name i will disagree, korn rocks this song, but it's only an opinion

  • @TheBigBoss777 korns version is better

  • I think this version has the better verse while Korn's has the better chorus. This version is better over all though.

  • i agree with the first part but I think in all Korns version is better either way both rock

  • *rolls up eyes and does a face fault * I have been looking for this version EVERYWHERE, but I couldn't remember the name of the group for NOTHIN'! LMAO! I'm thinking it's some long name, but it's "Gun"!! So simple! :P Well I've found it so now I can jam!

    Thanks so much for posting this! I love the original just as much, but I'm a rock kinda girl so I love this one more :) *rocks on*

  • The best version of this song

  • Great guitar arrangement. :-) Great singing also. Love the way the snare sounds like a gun-shot too. hahahaa I'm going to look out for more by Gun now.

  • from cemeo is the best!!!!!

  • i like cameo then korn and then this

  • Korn vocals are better, didnt like the guitars, didnt fit

  • cameo is the original.

  • personally i like this version better than korn

  • cameo is better

  • korn is better

  • idk the korn one is funkier sory like korn better

  • Never heard this version before. Very smooth. Like listening to coffee.

  • lol xD

  • I like all versions

  • A great song is great no matter who does it.

  • There's room for all versions. Chill.

  • Best cover as far as now...having as second the one from Korn!~

  • All the versions are COOL!!! stop being fanatic plz! Music is great all tipes and this song is just perfect XD |m|

  • Original is the best version :) Has the most power :)

  • Tastes are different, and people are too stupid to understand that...

    go out and smash your faces, punk!

    be so kind and let everyone his own choose

    I prefer KoRn remix too...

    so what ?!

  • sounds too 80's Korn did a better version

  • this is the best version! shut the f*ck up

  • ....and to those who say this cover is shit, then you all suck.

  • I mean it, this cover is much much better.

    I gotta find the Barb Wire soundtrack.

  • you should hear the rasmus/gun mashup of this

  • Korn 1

    Cameo 2

    This shit 3

  • I wouldn't say it's shit but your order is correct in my opinion.

  • yeahh

    its alrighhht

    but i lsitened to korn right before this

    so it seemed shitty

  • I agree! In my humble opinion it's Cameo, Gun, then Korn. And I am a big Korn fan.

  • KoRn made a fucking better cover ;)

  • the orginal is the best!

    this version is shit!

  • i dont like these covers

  • BEST cover of this song!!!

  • yeah this ones good but my favorite is the korn version.

  • seriously kick ass solo

  • this one's good but i think i like the KoRn version a bit better, but this one is better than the origanal (just my opinion this is still a really good song no matter who does it lolz)

  • This is perhaps my favourite cover of this song. Followed by Korn.

    The worst version would have to be the Scary Spice version. Ergh!

  • have you heard the boss hoss version? its awful

  • I actually think that BOTH this and KoRn's version are good. But I think that this one capture's the essence of the original Cameo version. In other words, this one stays true to the original, while giving it that Hard Rock feel to it. Korn, however, is more shorter and all you hear more is the bass riff and Jon singing. But, in other words, its just not really done right. But all in all, I still like both versions of this song.
