Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz with lyrics

[Espanhold123]

So where are the lyrics?

[marti1254]

@Espanhold123 there's this amazing new thing which is called "description".

[clearacres]

As a young GI at Ft Ord, Calif, being told what we should think, and every time our left foot touched the ground to yell "kill", Janis was a rerinforcement to remember our idenity. I wasn.t strong enough to resist in those days, but I could listen. She sang from a place within the soul I can only hope to hear. From Khe Sahn to today, she atill brings a tear! I'll never be able to say good-by to my long gone friends, and I'll always remember Janis with them.

[jimmybluemoon]

love Janis but the music ruins the song

[moonster652]

I'm with lilcary....... why bother? I'll never understand people Stupid girl probably likes Celine Dion!!

@lilcarly2000 I have to know two things. First, if you don't like Janis Joplin's voice, why are you spending time out of your day looking up her music? I can't stand taylor swift, so why would I check out her music on youtube? Second, lets hear you sing one tenth as well as the lovely and wonderful Janis with as much power, emotional connection, and individuality that she holds in her voice. Get out of here with that negative energy.

[cadence0dakota19]

her voice is very unique and easy listening.

[Phil86vie]

hm.. i guess i will sing it every night before i go to sleep,,, oh lord won't you...

thank you Janis for this song

[Rooioi]

This is music!

[lilcarly2000]

SHE CANT SING EVERYBODY!!!!!

[marti1254]

@lilcarly2000 oh gosh, tiny girl, go and play with your barbie and stop annoying :)

[eyeontruth]

@lilcarly2000 Your right a unique and different voice unlike any you have ever heard no place in music . She needs auto tune so she can sound like every other artist.... R.I.P. Love

[eyeontruth]

@lilcarly2000 srry *"has no place" dont wanna get bashed over grammar huh?

[thatfoolbiff]

@lilcarly2000

No, darlin'....YOU CAN'T HEAR!!!!

[Locha095]

Havent heard this is awhile :)

[OIAGoat36]

RIP Janis.

[Jakeman219]

Please don't feed the trolls and they will die. I love Janis

[dreamweaver97]

[mcd1727]

[TheMeyz]

Genial; Ich liebe diese Frau und ihre göttliche Stimme!

[TheDnBGamer]

Check out Alabama Shakes, she gets the closest to Janis like no other.

[jessevardaman]

[MISSCKM79]

My grandaughter loves this song.Liberty is 4.

[ArmaniDziadzia]

Halo?

Nie ma polaków ?

Janis Joplin baby baby..

[aekoriginale21]

NO MORE R.I.P she's so beautiful..

[RainingInMyHouse]

I remember my best friend and I screeching this on a road trip when we were 10/12 haha. Her mum put it on to try and annoy us but we absolutely loved it, she didn't see that coming!

[aguanteyocarlys]

Hola, Una pregunta, de donde es la musica de fondo?? Es la que se habia compuesto para este tema o se invento despues???

[fatimameme]

Good song...funny what we ask the lord for...always the impossible...

[cjhrjone54]

lol

[officeredeye]

Oh Maria. Plese help me, In my crazy world. Please just say,"We are the one"..

I want real tomorrow. We believe...

[blondebutsmart01]

Every time I hear this song I burst out in laughter because my mom sings this when she's drunk.

[1classywoman]

@blondebutsmart01 no you dont. thats a lie just to make your life sound some what entertaining.

[marti1254]

@Fobo5s Same with your comment :)

[festus2tonne]

@marti1254 WIN ALL THE THUMBS UP :)

[marti1254]

@Fobo5s Allright, but thanks for commenting :D

[Fobo5s]

@marti1254 if i offended someone im sry, i just wanted to honestly express my opinion

[ndrockyou123]

@Fobo5s This is not just a song this is a piece of history, if you cant understand that you should at least respect that piece of art wich changed a whole generation and brought new standards to the world...

[runtubefantasy]

@Fobo5s this song is awesome. I wonder what type of crap you listen to.

[Pikagasm]

@Fobo5s you dont hear the soul? u probably think justin bieber and rihanna are talented...

[dylanbuchanan94]

I am sorry for all of you who can't appreciate music for what it is and have to criticize a song when it doesn't live up to your fuckin standards. And Criticizing one of the most popular rock goddesses of all time when you don't amount to shit your fuckin self. I thank you all Janis lover's. And God bless rock & roll where imperfection makes it what it is!!!

[adam88356]

THIS IS SHITE !!!! NASTY NASTY NASTY , PLEASE MUM MAKE IT GO AWAY. WHY RUIN SUMTIN SO PURE AND SIMPLR WIV HORRID 80,S SOUNDIN CRAP. FECKIN EEDJITS .

[MsGedankensindfrei]

This totally sucks donkey dicks. The original song is acappella without any lame musical accompaniment whatever. Who the fuck added this track to the original vocals?? They should be drawn and quartered.

[marti1254]

@MsGedankensindfrei Also sollen sie getötet werden, für ihre Ansichten? Ich glaube du suchst dir mal besser nen andren Nickname . :)

[FinallyunderstandU]

without even trying she makes my soul faint her soulful voice is so real n awesome.. ((=^.^=))

[teknoladybug]

[westwind1998]

Here's a prayer you can sing!

[cscdigitalgraphics]

Wonderful song. Thanks for sharing.

[jeffluvsfishin]

whos this ignorant whore? she sounds awful..

[cperdueKN]

@jeffluvsfishin what a terrible thing to say.

[madiboo104]

@jeffluvsfishin This is Janis Joplin, she's before your time. (;

[SoldatoSwagger]

so Lord won't you bring back the old janis.....

[trinach93]

@iloveramunepop17 nobody cares how old you are. if you like a song you like it. you're not cool all of a sudden for liking something at your age.

[iloveramunepop17]

@trinach93 I'm not trying to be cool I was saying that its neet to be my age and like such old beautiful music. and don't come at me with ur attitude, if u didn't like what I was putting down then u could have just thought that and kept it to urself.

[1classywoman]

@iloveramunepop17 he also could of just gave you a thumbs down like i just did.

[chineefood]

@trinach93 i heard u like a lot of cock lol

[Fobo5s]

@trinach93 hes not cool for liking it as me who dislikes it, who is cool then? : > i guess nobody listening to this crap, times when music like that was popular... lets be honest... SUCKED also i think Justin Bieber is God compared to this

[flashunter02]

@Fobo5s

a monkey is a genius compared to YOU..nobody listen to this music??? are you fucking kiddin' me??? if you don't like Janis Joplin go listen to your music and leave us art's lovers alone!! Janis Joplin is legend, you're a fucking cunt

[LaloLaughCompany]

This song is very short! 

[neldarabbitflat]

written by her on a napkin in a bar when she and Kristofferson were hangin out!!!

[turdfucker2]

@neldarabbitflat no it wasn't.

[taleydaley2012]

Ahh, crap, I actually drive a Mercedes Benz...

[veada1]

some people just don't appreciate good music



[veada1]

great song



[motobecanlivecom]

@YourBoss2012 you don't really 'get things' do you...

[motobecanlivecom]

blasphemy!

[marti1254]

@motobecanlivecom Let us thank God for blasphemy xD

[1classywoman]

@marti1254 You'll be writhing in Hell for that sacrilegious statement. Satan will tear your sorry flesh off with his Demon knuckles. Heathen!

[marti1254]

@1classywoman Why are so many stupid christs on earth? Tell God your problems, or a piece of crap, which is as good as the allmighty fictional guy in Heaven. And of course, christs like you can't be a little bit tolerant. Learn to accept other opinions or go praying, seriously.

[iloveramunepop17]

@1classywoman ok let me tell u something God wouldn't give me a thumbs down for expressing my opinions on a song! its to small a situation for u to be acting like that and I know what I wrote was a missleading goofy comment but that comment was between me and someone else. I was standing up for myself WITH THAT PERSON not u. I am a Christian child and u have no write telling me what God could have done to me. Go find someone else to say rude things to because u found he wrong one

[bogdan1988boieriu]

@motobecanlivecom you are missing the point of this song

[motobecanlivecom]

@bogdan1988boieriu it's satirical bro

[zeppelin67637]

@motobecanlivecom God said onto me, "Tell motobecanlivecom to shut the fuck up!"

[motobecanlivecom]

Blasphemy!

[UppyCuppyCake101]

lol i hate this song xD

[73Crissie]

IM 38 AND I NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION :)

SHE IS SO HOT.

[eljanio]

She drove a porsche......

[ICHKatiaRe]

¿qué pasa con las 27 personas? se equivocaron de botón

[MsBrookeisme]

Janis we love love love you! We miss you!

[MrRastaley]

i miss your voice, Janis, i love your voice darlin

[glewallen22]

man just listenn.!! loll(:

[brittnygurl3000]

Dear lord Why dont you by me some more hero-ine... worked hard all my life time,

[noam31995]

listen to asaf avidan.

great israeli singer, he reminds her a lot in the voice !

[TheMethewall]

amazing....anyone knows chords of this version? sorry for my english..thank

[ballistex]

Oh my god, I just discovered that this isn't some 14 y/o class project and that someone actually put the poppy piano behind this treasure to be included on the greatest hits album. Why? The original wasn't good enough for them? Jesus Wept!

[hannolanpelto]

really good version .voice of of janice is really "praying " ............ she really had a gift from God .......something much more than than....mercedes benz or colour tv !!!! <3

[willsi8]

My favourite song from Janis, but I prefer capella version (without music) because of the force from the singer. Includes at the end "gracias" and the name Mercedes in good Spanish. Thank you very much Janis Joplin. Rest in peace!

[Melmann95]

God bless? This song is anti-religious... Listen to the lyrics before you start posting shit.

[CoD6aholic]

g-eazy made a remix for this song and its amaning look it up someday if your a fan.

[kenobi360]

@LaTuaCantanteAmanda its funny how the words "slut" and "God Bless" come from the same person.

[zokail]

oh lord won't you buy me a Janice joplin?



[CONXINXINA1]

oh lord, won't a buy a murcielago

[holcroft1969]

Hell yeah :D

[cabiria2011]

Amo questa donna, l'amero sempre!!!.

[cabiria2011]

Amo questa donna, l'amero sempre!!!.

[wwfww]

please daon't let me dawn!

[zodyce]

Never heard this version before but I like it a lot. It doesn't take anything away from Janis's wonderful voice, on the contrary. The piano part works perfectly and her voice sounds as beautiful as ever.

[mario73926]

Well, I didn't want to offend your religious beliefs.

It was my bizarre way to see things sometimes.

It was late at night.

Please accept my apologies.

[carpoolz]

just listen



[extremebordum]

Everyone is entitled to there own opinion

[whazza]

I like the original much more, but this is an interesting take. Can't believe all the bs negative comments though.

[papypapamamy]

Damn, why am I born in 1997... Why not 1953, just for see what was Woodstock and all this legends...

[ballistex]

Jesus this is absolutely horrible. There is a special punishment awaiting you in hell.

[marti1254]

@ballistex xDD of course, in "hell" xD

and you'll go to heaven with god and jesus and shit like this? xD

[ballistex]

@marti1254 No, my soul was bought and paid for long ago by the First of the Fallen. But this is like the Miley Cyrus version of this song.

[marti1254]

@ballistex SO, the next time if you want to tell somebody that a video is bad in your opinion, say it like this and leave out the stuff with hell xD

[ballistex]

@marti1254 Sorry, didn't realize I was dealing with the youtube hell police.

[Correbombita]

@marti1254 This video is horrible! And you're a histrionic fanatic.

[marti1254]

@Correbombita The video is made of one picture? so how can it be "horrible" ? And why do you think I'm a histrionic fanatic?

[KillaKlan513]

@ballistex You are a noob!

[ballistex]

@KillaKlan513 Oh now you've gone and hurt my feelings. How will I ever cope knowing that I don't measure up in your eyes?

[Vitamin0Elmo]

@ballistex are you deaf? go back to church you freak. janis is amazing, she is honest, you can hear her pain and everything that she sings has a REAL meaning unlike all the pop music today.

[Vitamin0Elmo]

@ballistex Maybe you should try some manners? Honestly you’re wasting your time trying to offend me and spending all day coming up with a smart ass answer to my comment. Good on you. I made an observation and unlike you Im open minded to what people say on here. I am open with all music and actually listen to a wide range. You obviously have no appreciation for music or anybody else’s opinion, so maybe instead of criticising Janis you should just listen to other music if you don’t like it.

[ballistex]

@Vitamin0Elmo I was having some fun with this but I just checked and found that I was having fun at the expense of a young girl, so you are correct, I should try some manners. You can chaulk this one up in your win file but I hope you find time to listen to the original recording, the way Janis wanted to record it. Then hopefully you will realize that she recorded it a cappella for a reason. She had a talented band but she knew this song could fly with her voice alone.

[mario73926]

@ballistex Yeah, but while she'll be entering the gates of Hell in style, riding her Mercedes, you'll be queuing up, out in the scorching sun with far away bathrooms, amongst all those bus loaded suffering Christians waiting for their names to be called up...HA!

[ballistex]

@mario73926 Well, I guess you certainly told me.

[JumpingTomato]

@ballistex Your mother is terrible and will go to hell for giving birth to you.

[ballistex]

@JumpingTomato Oh she'll roast for much more severe crimes than that. Please give your mother my best, I'm sure she's proud.

[DrikaMaell]

Melhor de todas..

[CornStoveIowa]

watch AMANDA OVERMYER sing this same cover song MERCEDES BENZ at all her concerts while on tour promoting her new Album SOLIDIFY (itunes). You can see Overmyer's version also posted over YOUTUBE ...

[RikBison]

I like this remix.

[jasewgtn1]

I've never hated a song, but I"m sorry - DIslike to the very max

[JKnight16oOo]

@jasewgtn1..back in them days it was a littlefunny

[Frogbob93]

lol colored tv

[akras617]

i love all this real rock, music is not the same these days. wish i was around during the time of Woodstock

[Waynecampbell111]

This is the last song I remember my granddad sining before he passed away 2 years ago. Rest in peace.

[GearDragon5]

@Waynecampbell111 Your granddad was cool



[1quinbyboy]

oh lord wont ya bring back the 70s

[mrrich1733]

Not bad for a little high school Homecoming Queen from Pt. Arthur, Texas - just wish she would have stayed around a little longer

[Ciganylelek]

This song will never die, my 4 year old daughter can belt this baby out with the best of them (though she thinks having to say a color tv is pretty weird LOL)

[blitzieable]

I am sorry to say but the youth has no manners most of the time, clearly showing her age of 5 years old and a mentality of a chimp, what a sad remark by Kanimwhite84.

back to the tune, I love the guitar to begin the way it does.. great tune

[marti1254]

@KanimWhite84 calm down xD

I didn't made this "remix" but it think it sounds good.

[mrmojow]

@KanimWhite84 Shut the fuck up moron!

[BlindTruths]

@KanimWhite84 Wow, psycho moment much, buddy? It may not be the best in the world but it's not that horrible.

[djs0793]

@KanimWhite84 dude youre like 27....act like it.

[DeFre57]

Janis, i'll be in love with you forever ... RIP

(and welcome back if ever you wanted to be among us again...Pls share these words with Jimi and Bob :)))

[fikirsabitch]

Kinda sucks that I missed all the rad shit that happened in the 60's-80's. The Beatles, The Runaways, The Velvet Underground. What do we have now? Ke-dollar sign-ha, Lady Gaga, and other shit. What sucks the most is that in the future, the shit that we produced now will be considered "vintage" and my great great grandchildren will be worshiping Kanye like he's a freaking legend although he can't compare to Janis Joplin or Kurt Cobain or Jimmi Hendrix. Such a fucking shame...

[obbieman]

This was originally live and accapella. Whoever posted this just added the background music.

[UnshackledWoman]

hmmmm this is a version i never heard...

[Nashoudemire]

Thank you Janis...you gave me happiness :)

[dirtylittlehippiex3]

i'm 18. i wasn't around when she was alive, but i grew up on her music. rest in peace janis. you are truly an amazing and beautiful woman. janis joplin lives.

[TheStuartWallace]

I think I was born about 40 years late D:

[computerpurple]

I LOVE this song. The LADY Janis Joplin will not be forgotten. Betcha by now she has moved on from a Mercedes Benz to one of those far out "The Jetson's" ( cartoon) kind of cool car, cruising around in Heaven.

[SynesterBlack]

You got to love Janis.

[mirbuckle]

aw whats wrong with you? can you not hear the ppppure soul in her voice and songs?

[mirbuckle]

such a pity you left us so early janice. something totally gut wrenching about you. u were just brilliant and this is 2011. cant even begin to imagine what you must have been like in the late 60s. x

[tyzer23]

if she didnt wait all day till 3 and got a job she would have saved up for atleast the tv

[Denny7983]

I am 19,

This is what i call MUSIC. The music now is shit, people needs to be like Janis.....

RIP Janis a lot of people love your music even 2 this day.

[mtsbjzsb]

18 people drive porsches

[asotochu85]

17 people are mad because the lord didn't buy them a mercedes benz.

[boygirl500]

I feel cheated...I never got to see her live in concert...I'm only 16 but I've been listening to her for years. No matter how bad it is she always makes it better. :) I love this woman.

[garganrose]

@boygirl500 your not alone i to wish i could see Her and Jimi Hendrix perform at woodstock but i'm only 24.

[TheKrisAdair]

Dear God, We'll give you Miley and Justin if you'll give us back Janis and Jim Croce...

[roms059]

@TheKrisAdair so true...
