[TheFamousLoser]

[S0NiCCCCC]

i love this band, but this cover was something that shouldve probably stayed under wraps...still props to them coz they dont give a shit what we think :)...the fact that theyr featured in FLCL so much shows that theyr random like that

[arnauts12]

They know *waaay* more English than I know Japanese.

[razorlikeblue]

Better than original. ಠ_ರೃ

Problem? ಠ_ಠ ೃ

[REFL0X]

Verio kirred the rare-e-oh star!

[foyourethetubedick]

[menswear2112]

This is simply an outrage. Unworthy of the tie wrap around the neck of the bag.

[manualLaborer]

[MrTakenao]

the pillows is awesome artists in japan, but this is not matching for them.

英語で上手く表現できたか分かりませんが、

ピロウズ自体は大好きです。

でもこのカバーは正直あんまり良くはないですね。

今のピロウズがどんな風にこの曲を演奏するか聴いてみたいです^­^

[flatbaIIs]

well u guys try and learn and sing a new language thus playing instruments

[PinballWiizard]

The Pillows write good music, and are a good band. It's not their fault, their engrish is engrishy. This is pretty funny

[astudem]

[mikel9292]

[feindhortmit]

[maselar]

初めて聴きました。ピロウズは好きだけど、これはちょっと合って­ない気がします。特にコーラス…申し訳ございません…。でも、し­っかりした演奏は健在なので聴きやすいですね！

[framjam44]

[framjam44]

[Filipinoidol]

@framjam44

and they would easily destroy alot of english bands as far as talent

[TrippyKitty08]

i love to sing "Oh Ohh" like him

ahhh! i love the pillows no matter what they do!!!!!!

[iceteaguy]

The fact that they suck at english makes the song and the band even better.

You think fuckin Fall out Boy would try to sing in Japanese? fuck no.

The Pillows are the best evar.

[mattskell]

atleast their trying :/

[porroyorro]

wow destroyed that song way to go

[WingZero75]

Fuck the bozos. The Pillows kick ass.

[Kazenokakera]

[Forevermoonlight13]

[EweTubeCritic]

This SUCKED!

You should be sued!

[djrem]

LOL.

[pokemonmegaultrafanr]

THIS SUCKS :(

[G1NZOU]

@pokemonmegaultrafanr Listen to their other stuff, normally their music is really good, just this cover doesn't work.

Listen to "Wake Up, Dodo!" and maybe you'll change your opinion of this awesome band.

[pokemonmegaultrafanr]

@G1NZOU Dude , i'm actually a fan of The pillows!, i love them, but this song Sucks :/

[G1NZOU]

@pokemonmegaultrafanr True, it does.

It's the only song I've ever heard from them that's bad.

Why did they release it, I know Sawao sometimes has really bad singing but I'm surprised this made it through the record commitee.

Unless it's a hidden extra song that they did just for fun, the funs one way though.

[pokemonmegaultrafanr]

@G1NZOU I know! all their songs Kickass! but this cover totally sucks

greetings from mexico :)

[G1NZOU]

@pokemonmegaultrafanr (^_^)

The Fakin' It cover is awesome, makes up for this one.

I'll forgive them because of their other great songs.

[JeffSims009]

These dumb japs don't even know what the words they are saying even mean, they just memorized the basic sounds of each syllable.

[PUFFYsaidgo]

@ JeffSims009

Shows what you know. The lead singer knows English and writes many of his English-language songs. Way to assume things about people whose first language isn't English.

[JeffSims009]

Knows english? I am no linguist, but these guys do NOT know english.

Sounds similar to what I would sound like were i to ape the syllables of japanese.

[PUFFYsaidgo]

@ JeffSims009

Just because someone has an accent, that doesn't mean they don't know a language. There are certain areas that a person is good at when learning a language. Some are better at speaking it than writing it, some are better at reading it and speaking it, or whatever other combinations are possible. In school, I could read and write Spanish, but I couldn't speak it well or even decently. I couldn't pronounce some words and I paused to think of what to say. Of course, that was a

[PUFFYsaidgo]

[CONTINUED] while ago, and now I've forgotten but a few words, as I don't need to know it in daily life. Though, that could possibly change in the future.

He has a decent grasp on it since he writes their English songs. Obviously, he's not a master at English, but to say he doesn't know it would be incorrect.

[Knulp79]

Hey, Jeff. How do you think about western guys wear the stupid Kanji T-shirt? I'll bet they never know that meanings even they wear. I think your opinion is called as "ethnocentrism". That means that you are narrow-minded idiot.

[JeffSims009]

Well thanks for the assumptions, nah, you must be very intelligent.

[tulioguimaraes33]

thanks for killing a good song

[modalauxiliary]

Engrish makes everything better.

[Jorieketjuh]

eww.

[maddog050]

holy crap this is awful

[ihatesunnysideups]

They killed the song!

[kakathemainman]

pmslpmslpmsl

[Hotsoup0000]

Horrible.

[Reyaar]

this makes me lawl

[PoeticTragedy65]

._. I prefer their japanese..

[redcodefinal]

HEHE awesome cover.

[SatansTorment]

sounds like a homo!

[KamenWeil]

Meh, I like The Pillows, but I do NOT like this cover whatsoever. The engrish just killed it.

[sweetnsourserenade]

@Kee715 that's a little harsh... you can't judge a band based on one song, especially when that song is a cover in a language that is not their own, and was probably done just for fun at a concert. I'm not attacking you or telling you to love them - just saying that's kind of a rash comment to make.

I do agree that it's not very good at all. but it's not like this was a single. and can't professionals just experiment and have fun sometimes, too? or be imperfect? they're only human...

[Kee715]

Yes, you are right. I posted that when my mind was "not running at full capacity" (mega tired) and when I am like that I tend to post things that i tend to regret or not remember (or both) posting later.

*Removes comment*

[Aweena]

;) plus 10!

[emobitch33]

haha i think it's cute...

:)

[adamsand10]

it's sounds like his vocal coards are getting cut in have by pliers!

[HAMPI100]

Absolutly horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[simsohi]

my ears hurt! and i swear he says vladimore killed the video star!

[Futurescreepers]

@HAMPI100 U CANT SING :/

[nipojapan]

TOO BAD!!!

They don't really understand this song!!!

[SephurMcGoul]

So, the Pillows don't speak english, and if they do, they have a very large Japanese Accent. They're really not out of tune, but yeah, this isn't one of their better ones on pronunciation.

[alther745]

um i almost shot my self listening to this

[NatashaViola]

.......wtf?

really crap.

[armouredhen30]

Terribly terribly bad

Out of tune but good at the same time!

[guitarhero9990]

what language is this?? lol

[adoughty09]

lmao

[Charadeur1]

The Pillows are great.....terrible cover though.

[kyo374]

いいなー。

原曲の良さが全く崩れてない。

[mattsteibler]

sounds like the guys got a lisssp

[AlanKenny101]

aweful....

[zombiesatemyretro]

[radix9523]

[podtheguard]

[podtheguard]

pants. good try and funny but not as good as the wrong trousers. or wong trousers. i'm in trouble. i'd better wadio for help. i don't try to sing aisian songs because i'd suck.

[DigestedGoose]

Sounds like a few drunk lads on a night out got on the karoke.

[EvilFuzzle666]

it was bad till the guy started singing....then my ears pushed the headphones out.

wtf is this shit O_o

[SamanthasLover17]

that's just gross...thx for fucking up a good song...man...

[jordo10101]

not as good as the wrong trousers

[ttoiletpaper]

@jordo10101 ahaha i juuust watched them before this vid :P and these guys suck. reminds me of a duck at some parts :P

[THEGREATMAX]

I love this version. :D

Engrish for the win

[ILOVEAAR974]

the cant sing

[DEEONETHIRTYSIXZERO]

Woooo! Man this budah lovinq freeks craked me up!!!!

[lordenrique]

I think they did a pretty good job on it. I know Sawao's English isn't all that good, but I like it.

[TheBigplrbear]

0:39

OH OH!

LMAO

[spike456321]

japan^^

[aguyok]

This video killed something alright.

[kouinetsu]

LOL, Is that Manabe doing the Owa Owa part?

[Penguinicide]

Ew

I don't like it all

o.o

Please tell me they are foriegn...at least then they'd have an excuse for butchering the English language.

[BeatPau]

japan

[Yoshikkko]

They are Asian, they have very good songs though, but they totally ruined this one, I don't know why. They do the OST's for the Anime FLCL, it's totally worth watching.

[culo9999]

japanese

[ESPsplit]

Radio killed the Videostar!!!

[FloatingCarousel]

Adorable!

I love them so much :D

[Yoyokilla1]

i lol'd 5

[TaiyouShounen]

I love this song, with Pillow cover, I love it more!

[johnnyk2112]

This is a VERY good cover

[babylonangelsushi]

im a huge fan of the pillows but well u know they cant just kick ass at everything....and a cover song is a cover song...its never supposed to be a way better version of the original

[tiffany111twisted]

this is hilarious. well done The Pillows

[myeternalways]

rrooofffllllmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaa­aaaaaaaaaooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooo

[Hurricanesss]

They're japanese + it's LIVE... Give them a break

[itzfawkinsam]

yeah, true that they are japanese, and it's live.

so everyone here trying to say they are bad, you try to cover a song live in japanese, and see how you do.

so I give this band props.

its a classic

[Happinessbunnyyyx3]

I love it when Sawao tries to speak ANNNNGLISSHH :3 i'ma upload their "When you were mine" cover =DD

[ubbecykelkedja]

WTF is this? Are these guys professional? Really?!

[PoptartOverlord]

Oh god, horrible version

[Qhiu]

this is a pretty cool cover it's like the best one i've heard! well i like it more than the other ones =p. THE PILLOWS ROCK!

[SailorSolarstar]

O_O!!!

[limsniff]

This is great ! this is fucking great!

[patrickakapapoo]

how many ppl remade this? lmfao

[marktoon7]

its becasue their chinkys they cant speak english properly

[jfoxhurt]

dang there accent is kwl...the that said o waho..he sounded like antoney off of smosh!!

[foodeater18]

I wonder how many people know The Pillows are a Japanese rock band...

[emceecg]

apparently not too many =o I pretty much only know them thanks to FLCL

[Dabeeble]

I didn't realize until they started singing. Then I thought "What the hell?" and then I looked at the picture and thoguht that english is proabaly not their first language.

[m0nkekyb0yzzz]

love their accent

[dusty107010862290]

sounds like they have retarded mouths terrible

[Colest503]

Ironic isn't it? You mock them for their sub-par command of the english language and you express it through this excuse of a sentence.

[wbttk]

Dude gave it a shot. I hated it, but now I dig it the same way I like the California Dreamin' japanese cover. Its like just the right amount of bad to make it quirky good. Congrats pillows, you screwed up just perfect.

[MrDoobie6]

Are they singing so shitty on purpose, or are they really that crappy?

[russianfantastico]

Yuck.

[TheRealmsOfGold]

This cover is great evidence for why the keyboard should not be a "forgotten" instrument in contemporary rock. The synth work in the original is part of what made this song what it is.

Also this guy needs to take a voice lesson.

[jkvocalist]

Next time put the pillows either over the speakers- or better over the singers face until he passes out and doesn't rape our ears again with this dirge!

[jkvocalist]

Absolutely fekkin' terrible!!! What a bunch of losers- who the hell are they?

Talentless idiots!? It's obvious the 'singer!!!!' is embarrassed to be 'singing' it- or is his voice usually that shit!?

The original wasn't a classic but this reaches a new low! Bloody awful!

[SilasWolfe]

Fuck off you dopey British faggot. The Pillows are awesome. Obviously English isn't their first language.

But tons of non-English artists attempt to cover English songs.

[jkvocalist]

@SilasWolfe

LOL

Choke on it. :P

[abrilbunbur]

the voices suckssss!!!

[velvetchiharu]

this is so odd... but i favourited it anyway i guess..

[luvyup]

thier voice suck

[toreyama]

a perfect song for the pillows to cover, but it could've been better executed

[Toyomasterz]

the pillows is a good band but sadly they're not good with english songs they should stick to japanese songs, bec. its sounds better on them~

[gregieb0i]

fuckin pillows, hellz yah.

[liujj119]

sucks!

[darebinroad]

This is the second best cover of this song.

All the others are equal first.

[BluesASC]

He's trying his best to sing this. Listen. JUST LISTEN. Yeah, his English is terrible and he messes up some of the lyrics but he's trying! HE'S TRYING HARD DAMN IT!

[Zeyegin]

lol-he dont speak english-he speaks ENGRISH!

lol

[Flyingpapaya]

joke band
