  • I like CCR, but WJ put something into this song it didn't have before. The drums, The march, The fire. He took you back to '69. All this hate I'm hearing, I doubt they were there with me! This goes out to all my fallen brotha's.. Raise The Flag!!!!

  • some folks (obama, bush) are born with silver spoon in there hand...only to 2send you off 2war, and when you ask them how much should you give, they scream ''MORE MORE MORE!..''

  • this is shit. CCR all day!

  • Why did he have to go ruin a great song? Some songs needs to be left untouched!

  • @904iLLuminati that song has meaning and he messed up. And he is a fortunate one he got out of hatti and got rich

  • Change/Different is good. Peace everyone Peaceful

  • I dont understand how people all come to a song with the same message and fight each other. Both versions go extra hard; I doubt if anyone commenting is a senator's son or millionaire! I thought both songs were about elites vs masses, but they got us to fight each other again...

  • wow is all i can say

  • bof bof this cover.

    i think he could do mutch better.

    so the original is much better

  • the original is garbage

  • Love both this version and the original..

  • Please people...stop ruin the originals...stop covering what's not meant to be covered!!!

  • Marvellous song for a great D.Washington !!!!

  • I love this song & Suicide Love

  • put a les paul in a man's hand and see how,he do's it.

  • Superb

  • I'm a huge Fogerty fan but the version is superb!!!!

  • I aint no Bush's son

  • just saw the manchurian today great concept i really liked it

  • Fantastic. Merci.

  • Horrible.. so bad!

  • @Holmer87 HIPER ULTRA MEGA SUPER horrible!!!

  • hey what drums r they using in this song

  • @leadfarmer13 Sounds like they sampled MJ's "They Don't Really Care About Us".

  • Yeah because you're really poor and unfortunate for being drafted into the US Military Wyclef Jean...

  • Can't seem to find this track on iTunes!

  • love this song it's good and if anybody can't see that well i guess you don't know good music.

  • I don't know the original that everyone is talking about in the comments, this is pretty badass though. Stayed in my head after watching The Manchurian Candidate. Great sound.

  • There they go fucking good music up.

  • @911firefight your right, it's not like white people ever fucked up black music before. The man is Haitian give him a break. in my opinion, he put the soul the song needed in it.

  • @wriley0012 You should not be allowed to have musical opinions if you think this guy put soul into the song. LOfreakingL. If you owned Capitol records, you'd be penniless before you reach the cafeteria. This was one of the biggest cover fails ever! Who cares if he's hatian? he could be from the galapagos for all I care. he still sucks ass.

  • @911firefight If I saw you in person I would say this and more: you are right about one thing, it's definitely your opinion. Thank God for that, and I frankly doubt if many people ask you for it. Stop trying to suck pub from 911, by the way. Everyone was saddened by that tragedy, not just you.

  • @TheeBajanbeauty Suck pub? Fuck you! I was one of the CDF Type 1 crews that was flown there to help. Changed my life. Now shut the fuck up cause you were never there and you can talk all the shit you want knowing that if you get your ass beat to a pulp for doing so there will always be one of me to pick up your brains from the curb after. You over opinionated and under educated bastard. GTFOH!

  • what a big pile of fail

  • Fuck offfff!...........what a shit load of wank!

  • great

  • wank. and really bad wank at that.

  • I cantt believe what copies of this cd are selling for,

  • Strange interpretation...but pretty interesting,

  • haha. soo many people mad that this version is fantastic. the best part of it is that it's not a straight cover. yes the original was well written, but this is a brilliant modern twist

  • What a crock of shit

  • So Good!!

  • Re: Manchurian Candidate .. anybody notice that this song can bear heard twice as ambient street noise (playing from passing cars)?

  • yahhhh that fucking perc is awesome!!!!!

  • Yo ,, wow that Boy Cleff ain't no joke ...him kill dis .... PLA PLA PLAAAAAA salute......

  • well said. kinda had a laugh that anyone would thing that Wyclef sounds like the great Bob. A big up for the Caribbean singers. Not a big lover of makeovers, but this one is tight!

  • This doesn't even come close to doing the original justice. I am absolutely baffled how anyone could actually thinks it better. The instrumentals are awful and the vocals are the same old wannabe Bob marley crap. What is up with black musicians like Wycleaf who aren't even remotely Jamaican singing in poorly imitated Jamaican accents? I mean I wouldn't mind too much if they weren't covering my favorite songs and butchering reggae music as a whole.

  • @ChuckinCho: Yeah and also I think Wyclef did a great job at re-interpreting the original! A cover is meant to be a creative take of what the particular artist is feeling from the original version! And Wyclef as 'afropsychadelic' said is Haitian, he is from the Black Island nations; a lot similarities between Jamaica and Haiti. You shouldn't comment on things you have no clue about. This take by Wyclef is great! And his guitar rendition is true musician genius!!

  • i much prefer this version over that old one

  • @lordofchaosrb no sir tyhe old one has the scratchy guitar its nmot complete without that aspect its sopposed to make you think about the war in vietnam

  • This song stuck forever in my head ever since I saw The Manchurian Candidate.

  • hmmm besides the lyrics this does not reasemble in any way CCR's

  • esto es una puta mierda no mamen ese pendejo no sabe q ´pedo nada q ver y siempre kiere andar metiendo su culo con los chingones para sobresalir me caga esa gente pendejo de mierdaaa.

  • Completely raped this song of its greatness.

  • Not bad.

  • I love this song! I heard it in the film last night and really liked it.

  • Also has anyone noticed how both Wyclef and Lauryn have successfully made multiple records. Where they redid a song and their version sounded better than the original?

  • @Urhoboman5 this song is not any where close to being as good as the original,

  • I heard this on Alex Jones radio show! :-)

  • opinions are like asshole's....everybody has one. Love this version but thats just me. Im sure some of you that are hatin prolly dig miley cyrus or fucked lady gaga and her supposed "music"

  • perfect drum works!

  • Fantastic cover. I am most impressed with this cover. Most musicians take risks with certain legendary songs and most of the time it comes out wrong. This is one of those risks that was definitely worth it. Thank you Wyclef.

  • all the peopling hatin i love CCR so shut the fuck up he obviously loves the band also so he wanted to play it his own way as a tribute so seriously just shut the fuck up.

  • This just sounds farmed in.

  • Comment removed

  • I feel like my ears was raped just now.. thumb down.

  • this tears apart the original. the words don't match the original's beat....AT ALL

  • Comment removed

  • Muito bom, adorei o filme e a banda sonora

  • i love it leathernecks

    Charlie 1/3 3rd plt

    Semper Fi

  • im at loss for words!!this is amazing!!

  • The movie sucked - but good tune.

  • Adding to my previous comment - I mean the REMAKE.

    The original is 100 times better than the recent remake.

  • Superb.

  • does wyclef do just the vocals or the guitar as well? the instrumental music is fantastic

  • @dpremsagar: wyclef has some guitar ability. dont know if he plays on this song, tho

  • great version of this song. in fact the best. and i am not black and i am not racist

  • Better than original tbh.

  • Definitely. Original's solid, but when I first heard it opening the film it pretty much became the most memorable thing in it.

  • Awesome cover!!!

  • Holy.... Isn´t there ANY song who will not be touched by this "black music artists" ?? Damn...

  • this is the best i've heard this song. well made and well deserving of a remake. I'm white and hate rap most black music but this is very good song.

  • @x11115 Nah dude, I have SO many memories with the original song, so this cover is to me, as if someone would do a Thrashmetal cover of "Raindrops prelude" or something else.

    so many oldieshave been converted to clubbeats, or beats for rap music and I don´t like it. It´s a different thing if a garage teenie band covers an oldie or if a multi-billion rapper makes a completely new song out of it.

  • Dude watch your mouth, the cover's powerful as hell.

  • @velozgz YOU like it. Alot of others like it too. But don´t blame me, cause I do NOT like it ok?!

  • He rocked that shyt...admit it, admit it

  • @naughtytosweet Naaaah, I can´t admit it.

  • Mad cause it has that ethnic flavor now? It is nice right? You feel it more right?

  • this is a great song.. which there was a way to download to ur comp

  • savetube and convert

  • about the onlyway i see to get a copy of this is to buy the whole CD or buy the whole album on itunes.

  • great song Wyclef and his charity yele haiti is being demonized by the establishment, red cross is probably the more damaging look what happening with the red cross during katrina, hats off to Wyclef he is talking the talk, and walking the walk

  • No shit Junglemike72. Well said.

  • Great Song!

  • wyclef is a serious student of marley, pete tosh, bunny wailer, fela kuti etc (i bet you people dont even know who those guys are)...anyway i aint no governors son!

  • Just the opening is reminiscent of Marley! He is fantastic. Mwen aime' Wyclef!

  • What a fantastic cover. What dreamlike, hot-gravel vocals.

  • Amazing tune

    Wicked thanks

  • I first heard this while watching "The Manchurian Candidate"...This is GREAT cover.

  • @cardinestelle Yeah i thought it was a pretty good job :) I just saw manchurian Candidate!

  • @cardinestelle me to its in tv right now and when i heard the song i waited till they write the songname and now im on pc :D

  • This IS a great cover of this song--I bet Fogerty likes this!

  • Better than CCR? you must be kidding right? no way lol

  • Naw this is tha' best version! So true, so true....

  • I'm sorry, but this version is 10 times better.

    The tune simply matches the lyrics better. The singer makes the song practically drip with a sarcastic, bitter emotion that comes when being given short end of the stick .

    I'm sorry, but the original simply isn't as emotional. The tune is up beat, and you're given the impression that while the singer feels there ain't something right with they're situation, they're just saying: "Oh well, that's just our luck. Let's make the best of it."

  • In my personal opinion(not that anyone was asking) you described it to a T. Just my 2 cents.

  • Dude, I love this cover. But I'm not really a big Credence fan overall, although I love some of their songs. Wyclef just nails the damned thing. I played this for my guitar teacher, and he didn't like it. I just about shit myself when he said he didn't like it.

  • I like both versions. Tho I would say he is taking a song that rang so true in the 60's and is so so true today

  • DAMN I LOVE THIS SONG-It took me forever to find it on youtube because I thought that it was called Prodigal Son-Damn I got lucky tonight to find this GOLD!

  • I had head it on infowars a gajillion times before one of my U-tube friends told me who did it and that it was from the Manchurian Candidate soundtrack.

  • better than the original imo

    i also got chills when i heard it played during the credits of the Manchurian Candidate

  • Beautiful. This cover sent chills when I heard it at the beginning of The Manchurian Candidate.

  • They wanna put chips in our brainnnnsss man

  • What a bas ass song i loved the movie too

  • Hey, does anyone out there know what album this is on? I looked on the Manchurian Candidate soundtrack for it, and all I saw was movie score music that I don't want to listen to. How can one acquire this tune on CD? I've been searching for this song on CD for probably over a year now. I just found out yesterday who friggin did the cover.

  • The sad thing about this song, is the fact that it's true.

  • i dont live in america but if i where you i would WAKE THE FUCK up :P........

    For real its no joke...Open your eyes before you die man.

    Peace

  • No shit. Most Americans are still happy and blind as hell as to what's going on. I'm an American, and I've been awake for many years. I try to get my family members and friends to simply look at the way they're being sprayed like bugs, and they think I'm the crazy one.

  • Sick song.

    ...DOWN WITH THE NEW WORLD ORDER.

    Resist Global Government and Globalization.

    Watch the "Obama Deception" and the "Obama Revelation" videos and wake up from the corporate wet-dream that has beset our nation.

  • Paranoia isn't funny anymore.

  • That's because it is no longer paranoia when CNN is calling for a new world order run by the same international banking cartel that tricked us into this mess. And now they are talking about food riots and martial law too... and building mass graves outside of phoenix and houston - when will you people wake up?

  • So CNN is actually calling for the NWO and all of these things you've mentioned? I did tune in around the time of the G20 summit to see what Michelle Obama wore though, and I remember some British douchebag talking about how great the IMF is. I can't stand mainstream media anymore and haven't watched TV for probably six or seven months now. I get all my news from Alex Jones or C2C or Alan Watt. The masses are never going to wake up. They won't even look overhead at the spraying.

  • i know it sucks but if history reapeats itself humanity will prevail. Ron Paul has propposed a bill im sure you know of to audit the federal reserves this will open a hole can of worms and get some of them scumbags in jail where they belong,. We the people must see that our congressman and house see this bill through

  • Alex Jones is about as biased as any other journalist in the US. He's terrible. Christiane Amampour is perhaps the best journalist in the world. And.. the best source for news is Al-Jazeera.

  • Any body who is real know alex jones makes the best political documentaries and that he his the NWO's biggest enemy, that's why people like you are always attacking him, many paid by the government just to attack him.

  • Al-Jazeera will just produce anything that attacks the US in-line with Russia Today. It's nothing special. A real man prospers and grows when they acknowledge their own problems not one that blames others for all their problems. I would not want to live in any middle eastern country over the US. You saying the Alex Jones is biased is just proof your full of shit. He is the biggest talk show host to go against the grain PERIOD. He has balls of steel.

  • You said it my man. You said it.

  • Anyone with intelligence doesn't watch any news network.

    That's like taking all your facts about the world out of the The Bible.

    Complete bullshit fed to you by people who just want to control you.

  • I wish i could find this track somewhere.

  • Its on the Manchurian Candidate soundtrack CD :)

  • I need to put that movie in sometime today when I get back home lol.

  • One of the few cover versions of songs I actually like better than the originals. Awesome.

  • thx been looking for this! excellent song!

    the movie was fantastic!

  • It's hilarious reading the more jingoistic comments this song has inspired, given its place on the Manchurian Candidate soundtrack, and the message of that film.

  • Love the drumline...Badd asssssss!!! Makes me feel all patriotic.

  • This is a bad ass song, get ready for the revolution fuckers, grab your guns, lock n load, they want our freedom? Pry it from my cold dead hands!!

  • Eh, let me paraphrase...

    Listening to songs like this is the only way I am able to experience "religious" feeling. Fucks with my mind..

  • couldn't agree with you more, bless the internet i coundnt afford/find such wonderful music with out it, and i woundnt be me with out it.

  • I'd kill for this song...

  • cant believe this is so unknown... crazy good this song. the song and d washington made manchurian candidate a good movie

  • heard this on the alex jones show

  • Me to!! Alex has awesome songs on his show and rarely ever talks about them.

  • I know!! His songs are always great. I agree he should talk about the songs he uses for his commercial breaks

  • HIS VERSION OF THIS SONG IS THE BEST...

  • @yuriboss Uh.. no. CCR's version is the best. They did write it you know..

  • @hvrock13 and Wyclef Jean really raped it..

  • @einmisanthrop That's for sure. Such a fail.

  • @einmisanthrop i listen to the original song by CCR but the original did not make me realize that it was a song against our powers at be....it was this version that help me realize what the original song was trying to tell everyone in America..... :(

  • @yuriboss

    no..just.....no

  • @yuriboss no actually it is really disgusting.. .
