I agree. John Denver did do it waaay better. As far as I am concerned, his version is the best. But, when it comes to covers of his great song, I think that Hermes House Band's version cannot be beat! I also think that this song really shines with a woman singing the lyrics. I would love for Shania Twain to do a cover of this song.
look a tall these ratings on the comments, wich usally means alot of the same peaplo come all the time to listen ti this song, as i would say that is.
I love this song so so much. Hermes House Band rock. I loved them when I was little I still do. They always played this song on my Friday lunchtime disco and my Christmas discos and Christmas parites at my school. If anyone has this song mp3 format please pm me and let me know because I would love this song on a CD, my I pod and my phone so I can listen to it when I go to Cornwall a week on Sunday. What was the names of band members in Hermes House Band. I love Hermes House Band forever. xxxxx
i'm noticing some American people are really offended by this video, but the song does give bystanders who dont know much about american history and culture a cowboy feeling. thats it.
great vid, but the confederate battle flag doesnt belong in it. West Virginia was formed as a Union State, not a southern. but love it anyways, i just like to be "that guy" who picks that stuff out.
There's no possible way that this could ever be better than John Denver's version. This is some techno song. This group is clearly not American. They hear the song and think its about the old west or something. West Virginia is not the west, this song is not about an old way of life, and it has absolutely nothing to do with cowboys. John Denver loved West Virginia, that's why his version is so powerful. These people just love techno
well i don't associate 'country roads' with wild west, but whatever. how can you love america but hate wild west? it's pretty much the same thing. the damn country is ruled by cowboys.
This is the best country song ever. I cant think of anything that could top this. Still, it makes me cry 3/4 of the way through, great memories, does'nt matter what sort of good memory it is, this song would just remond you of it. =( jeez, i'm gonna cry!
John Denver hated being forced into a stylistic box - he wanted to make music for the sake of making music. With that in mind, I do not believe he would have been offended by this at all. The reference to Lubbock is relevant, as Denver did attend Texas Tech, though people from Lubbock watching this video would have laughed at the lushness of the woods, much like they did at the Los Angeles mountains in the background of the "Lubbock bus depot" scene from "The Buddy Holly Story" docudrama. ^_^
wow oh wow let me say as a guy from west virgina, and a huge john denver fan of this song,,, I LOVE THIS COVER!! and to all you smart asses,, no iam not a hillbilly, i have all my teeth and no i have never fucked my sister,,, i may have done my brother had i had one lol,,,,iam just your every day american fag lol any way who is the hot little buck in this video i sure would like to ride opps i mean meat him :)
y? do man u. fans sing this song at matches? all my family is from england and i love soccer (football) but i was born n raised in canada, so i am out of the loop on certain details.
stop writting shitty comments john denver was good but we need to make new videos and covers to satisfy our growing countrys such as uk, us, and canada great song!!!
You know what needs to be done. You need to stop screwing your mother every night. This is awful. Artists these days can't write a decent song so they take the older ones and ruin them.
"Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald": Band wears 18th Century naval uniforms aboard the Fitz, represented by a fishing schooner flying a French Tricolor. The canucks will love it.
"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen": Band wears furs, chainmail, and horned helmets to portray soldiers in William of Orange's guard. Queen Mary sings to her paramour as happy Dutchmen wave Nazi flags.
Oh my, the Dutch have an interesting understanding of US history. West Virginia missed the Wild West era since it was already thoroughly settled a century earlier. That Confederate battle flag was another strange element in this video, since West Virgina was pro-Union and broke away from Virgina over secession and became its own state.
Really?....I mean "this is a POOP"? Who cares if Olivia Newton-John's version is better? Maybe you should, instead of bashing this version, suggest that people look up the one you like better and draw there own conclusions.
So then by your wisdom Olivia newton John shouldn't have made her version. Nobody and I mean NOBODY will ever do it better than the great John Denver.
my previous comment was in reply to mackenziecleveland 12. The Olivia cover was a pale imitation of The original. I am a big fan of Hermes House Band. They do a good job of taking songs and turning them into Dance Covers. My favorites are (Is This The Way To) Amarillo and Live is Life with DJ Otzi.
It's a song about WEST VIRGINIA but they look like old western movie people. And there's a sign that says "Bank of Lubbock" which is in Texas. West Virginia and Texas are like 1000 miles apart haha
Ahh... this totally gives you that essence of good old American living. Like life back in the day lol. A lot of countries might hate us or w/e, but honestly I am proud to be American and NO ONE is ever gonna tell me it's bad to be proud. I'd gladly give my life defending this wondrous place I call home. The original of this song is great, and I like this one too. I live in Maryland, which is right next to the countryside this song talks about. It is quite beautiful here.
a good song can be translated into any genre, this is a prime example of that. I don't think John Denver would be upset, I personally think it's cool that one of his songs is being played to people that might not have heard it cause they don't care for country.
This video is straight. Yall need to check out Vthov's music though if you haven't... He lays down pure fire. Search "Vthov Obama Inauguration Song" and you'll see what I'm talking about. He's the truth.
