Needle in the Hay (It's a Beautiful Day)

[BerLouise]

this could have been cool, and then I read your shitty description

[bigevil180]

Hey, if Kermit the Frog can play this song how he wants, why can't you?

[ihaveacar]

Not even close to playing the song correctly. You are a horrible singer. You raped one of the greatest songs of all time. You are a fucking asshole for doing this.

[ryanloritz]

@ihaveacar Chill the fuck out, dude, this is just supposed to be funny.

[python08]

fuck this

[andyxparty]

this is a little offensive.

[tophatmcbabs]

This is awesome. I love and admire Elliott Smith and I think he would find this rendition to be amusing. In fact, I know so.

[TheJameySuede]

What next?? Gonna rewrite some Pogue's "Clean New Town" Cash's cover "Not Hurt" why not fucking Beethoven "Sunshine Happy Day Light Sonata" I hope you get cancer, this was the worst idea ever.

[DiceProductions]

@TheJameySuede Can somebody give this man a kitten please?

[TheJameySuede]

@DiceProductions I really think I might hate you for this...I can't fully explain why.

[andrewizz]

@TheJameySuede Going through a cancer is too serious, "but you idiot kid, you don't have a clue." I know he butchered the song, but that comment... is really disproportionate, and I don't really know why the hell has it got thumbs up. Measure your words please, day by day youtube comments are more offensive and brainless.

[Grungerocker4489]

@TheJameySuede The worst idea ever was being down on someone. You just tried to defend elliott smith with the one thing he hated most. I respect your opinion, but respect others. It's music and an interpretation. If you don't like, then you don't like it. There's no need to be sour.

@twizteq1

The original work of art you find so meaningful is special enough to you that you misspell, egregiously, the name of the artist. Nice work.

[banshek7]

idk why but i liked this, thank you.

[seevendaycandle1]

Is this a fucking joke, Seriously, THE FUCK MAN!

[peacelovemusic2461]

i love elliott smith and i dont find this funny if it was a joke then okay but dont call it a depressing old song... elliott smith had more talent in one finger than you do and this is pretty offending

[Bio69]

This MUST be a troll attempt, therefore I lol'd.

[dgudman88]

nice juxtaposition... RIP ES.

...by the way the chords are still minor ...switch it up to major and keep the lyrics..

[dgudman88]

@dgudman88 i dont even know if the chords are minor or not....but the guitar music is still melancholy to me

[MegaMandrake99]

I don't care what anybody says... this is a cool rendition. Usually these attempts to change lyrics fail miserably but you did.good. When I'm down I sing this. In particular girlfriend drugs part. Oh Yeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh! Peace.

[supersibbers]

I call troll on this bullshit.

[bradchill]

It's a beautiful day, and you did a beautiful job. Rock Out with Your Socks Out:)

[tophatmcbabs]

this is such a funny rendition!!!! cheers! :)

[Amarant1994]

Something about this seems perfect, almost like it's a blissful hallucination- like he's lying to himself. Of course I like the original better, but good job there man.

[MegaMandrake99]

No Fuckng way!! now i can roll with this song and not think about suicide

[MegaMandrake99]

I GOT ONE F...N COMENT...B>>>D...ASS.MAN...

[nintendcoreXX]

Thought I'd give this a thumb's down to even it out with the thumb's up. Someone please give it one more

[JBattenMusic]

you guys ever think that they made this video just to get the reaction you guys are bitching about? obviously the lyrics are horrible and the song isnt even in the same order as elliott smith. sounds like they were joking around more than anything.

[tmfansports]

Fuck you for even associating Elliot Smith with U2 - disgusting. I hope you rot. 

[ivantbng]

Good intention, wrong song. I'm 100% sure Elliott is very very pissed right now, wherever he is.

[BETonthisHORSE]

nope

[NabeelMusic]

@BETonthisHORSE I concur. Your "Message in a bottle" was so much more entertaining.

[FromUnderTheRock]

@BETonthisHORSE  this kinda appeals to my glass is three-quarters full mentality.

[BETonthisHORSE]

@FromUnderTheRock -i say dump that shit out and pour something different.

[j669]

This is blasphemy!... This is madness!!!

[MegaMandrake99]

@j669 THIS...IS...SPARTA!!!!!!!

[wirsindhelden0]

haha i love this

[xPURPLExKILLERx]

i hate you

[betno1hastakenthis1]

How dare you. I hate you and I hope that you die. R.I.P you destroyer of art. On second thought, I dont really want you to die. But, I still hate you. Peace.

[Pissugar]

LOL man you gotta have big balls to do this shit and not even play the original chords right, praise you

[jcolten11]

The only thing "depressing" is replacing the lyrics of a genius with that of Bono's. Tom doesn't deserve to play these chords, i'm sorry to be so harsh but Elliott Smith is a musical god and 'Needle in the Hay" is one of his masterpieces. Tomorrow tom is going to graffiti the sistine chapel...again.

[taffystucktonguetied]

@jcolten11 Actually, if you listen to the song/read the lyrics/know anything about U2, you'll notice these are his original lyrics and not the one from the U2 song "Beautiful Day". You're entitled to your opinion, but you should at least try to be informed before posting something.

[mewbonzaii]

I appreciate you being original, but you could at least show some appreciation for the song instead of calling it 'a depressing old song'. Yes it was a bit depressing, but it had more meaning because of it, and what he was saying. Sorry to be so negative.

[chasethecolors]

Wow, way to call it "that depressing old song." Personally, this sounds just as depressing, only the lyrics are god-awful.

[twizteq1]

I feel bad to leave such a negative comment as you have obviously put the time into some interesting lyrics that approach the song in such an opposing way. But looking through these positive comments I feel as though I have to point out that you have disrupted a piece of art that has been both inspirational and humbling to me every time I listen to it. I personally think that Tom has butchered the original which far surpasses this version in every way. RIP Elliot Smith.

[p51abc]

@twizteq1

Piss off you wanker. Elliot Smith killed himself with poison because he hated himself so much. You love his self hatred and would give head to it if you could in your love his image of self hatred. Good luck braniac!

[twizteq1]

@p51abc Wow...Did Elliott Smith tell you personally that is why he killed himself? You have no idea about the reasons he did what he did, nor do you understand the reasons behind my respect for the original song.

[twizteq1]

@p51abc

It is wrong for you to assume I agree with his opinions on life using my comment as a basis. You don’t know me at all. I could make a similar baseless interpretation using your comment and speculate that you are full of angst and outward hatred. I wonder what the homosexual undertones of your comment mean about you? Good luck simpleton.

[LotusHacker]

@twizteq1

wow what's the big deal. i dont see anyone bashing on the sad kermit video because it doesn't stay true to wes anderson. chill the fuck out people.

[katanphetamine]

Thank you for doing this cover. For some reason, it's easier for me to listen to than the original. I'm going through a rough time, and the melancholy soothes me...in other words, I just wanted to say thanks.

[SchizzoSchizzo]

wonderful song and hot man

[ElWeasle]

Hilarious :') Nice one man.

[THOMASkaaz]

[voonpohyin]
