  • I found out about the shins from garden state, my sis had it on vhs when I was in gr. 5 and I couldn't be happier that I found them through such a lovely movie. That scene where natalie portman puts the head phones on whats his face and 'new slang' plays :) *sigh*.. How lovely

  • i loove garden state and i think we are all not interersted in how you found them 

  • Who cares HOW you found The Shins? All that matters is that you found them! Damn.

  • well im kinda glad ive never seen the garden state because everyone says it sucks..... glad i found the shins a different way...

  • @rhomcy You should don't care what " evryone says" give it a try

  • Hey, I liked Garden State :D

  • THEY NEED to bring back this intro..fuck the modern conformist BS intro were it cuts str8 into it! we want more covers! AND TICKY TACKY!

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • weeds isnt the same

  • i don't like those 4 peoples xDD

  • 4 people don't like little boxes.

  • @JacobRobGarcia they ARE little boxes!

  • THIS INTRO IS THE SHIT!

  • FULL EPISODES: TV[.]USNETXXX[.]COM

  • I miss the "Little Boxes" intro into Weeds!!!

  • he does definitely NOT sound like Mercer...

  • why would they get rid of this song after the 3rd season? that was just not ok.

  • @Annoymous565 I think it's because they no longer live in Agrestic, so the song wouldn't be appropriate anymore. =)

  • @Annoymous565

    so they could make the episode longer ... fine by me if you ask.I do miss the song though

  • id love it if i got feedback from you all about my little boxes cover? its on my channel : )

  • This is one of the best intro song covers :D

  • prolly one of the best covers...

  • No one would know of this band if it wasn't for Garden State

  • @AdrianvsJak That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

  • @AdrianvsJak

    No one would know Garden State if it wasn't for this band.

  • @slackerton18 EXTREMELY false haha

  • @14lucas

    Extremely with capital letters eh? Well your right I actually saw the Garden State before I knew about the Shins. The movie was so bad everything that I have everything in my power to avoid sitting through such a dull 102 min. excuse for a movie. However years later I got a copy of Oh Inverted World & enjoy every ounce of it. So I guess you could associate one with the other via soundtrack however I never have& I apologize for speaking for everyone else with such an ignorant statement.

  • @slackerton18 no one would know this band if it wasn't for garden state

  • @donntrotter who the fuck cares? god damn hipster

  • @masterfark not a big shins fan actually. at all. just saying. these fucking bands. move to portland if you douchebags, assholes. grow nuts.

  • is it just me or does this not sound like james mercer?

  • YEEEEEEEEEEEEES <3

  • this song makes me sad... Everybody's the same.

  • favorite band and show together. the best

  • i remember hearing this and i was like whoa the shins!

  • best version

  • I hope they get suffocation or napalm death to do a version xD that would be awesome!

  • haha my history teacher showed me this song but from the original singer

  • wow how intresting

  • haha i know, we were learning about the 50's and suburbia and she played it while taking notes haha

  • Too bad it was made in the 60s =P

  • actually technically the original was done by malvina reynolds not pete seeger but everyone has done a cover of this song so its hard to see its roots... great song no matter who sings it and great analogy to american living lmao

  • this is a song from pete seger it's an awsome song. it esentialy disposes the average american life living and working for every peice of junk we buy in the world. very beautiful annalogy.

  • got the the lyrics messed up but nothing major, it doesn't effect the song what so ever. He got the color part mixed up, but no biggy.

  • best of them all

  • Brilliant. Captures the spirit of the original better than most of the covers.

  • i like this one second only to regina

  • i can't believe how totally rad the shins are.

  • I love them all but this my favorite vocals for any of them.

  • This and the Regina Spektor version is my favorite.

  • Totally agree. ;)

  • AGGH i love the shins. And weeds. And i want a "chris died for your sins t-shirt"

  • The Shins and Weeds together... Life is good.

  • Good rendition of the song!

  • i didn't even notice it was them until i looked it up ha

  • good show. i like the original theme intro better (p.s. the shins are amazing)

  • Not a bad rendition. I still say the original theme song was by far the best but it was brilliant of them to mix it up. (Elvis Costello was perfect!

  • To each his/her own. *Ahem* Its a good thing their voice boxes don't sound the same.

  • well said. ;)

  • best cover of this song and i think death cab ruined this song but still this makes it up

  • no way i loved the death cab onee

  • no waaaaay, the Shins?! i'm not up to Season 3, that's why... omg, i love the Shins, i love Weeds, i love the theme!!! (((:

  • No, the Shins didn't write it.

  • this man is correct

  • You're an idiot. Malvina Reynolds wrote this song in the 60s, then Pete Seeger: FOLK SINGER EXTRAORDINAIRE popularized it. There have been so many covers of this song through the ages, it's like the House of the Rising Sun of the folk world.

  • @spingk

  • @spingk wow.... This shows that Wiki really works.. WHO GIVES A FLYING RATS ASS!

  • This is definitely my favourite one. Linkin Park and The Individuals were good too.

  • My favorite one

  • <3 The Shins.

    I might be a little biased, but this is my favourite one.

  • LikeAcheeto, this is just the intro because there's an ongoing thing that every episode has a different artist doing the theme song.

  • Dude just buy the fucking dvd

  • where

  • not sure, i think sho(dot)com
