Don McLean - American Pie (Good quality)

[MsSandtime]

This song is about a great musician who died in a plane crash.I agree ,Not for OD's die's with drugs.I respect to those musician my time's they compose and sing.Beautiful song's Bon Dylan,Ricky Nelson and more.This is not for Whitney Houston.

[67queenofspades]

Why is there a pic of Bob Dylan?

[MrStarclassicDrummer]

a few comparisons the music=Buddy holly, ritchie valens and, jiles "the big bopper" richardson jr. American Pie=American innocence the King and Queen=JFK and wife the Jester=Bob Dylan lenin=lennon quartet=Beatles helter skelter= manson murders the birds=the byrds the grass=weed or marijuana players=all other musicians sargeants and marching band=beatles we were all in one place=woodstock lost in space=moon landing jack flash=mick jagger stage, fist rage, no angel born in hell=altamont

[astrid27m]

The song is about The Big Bopper,Richie Valens and Buddy Holly But if people want to hear, see and feel Whitney Houston,and anyone else while listening to it STFU and let them! .

[redtulips05]

That awkward moment when the uploader realizes that picture is not Don McLean.

[1calicracker]

How can anybody not like this song? Shame on you!!!!

[marinalynn1000]

That Bob Dylan isn't it?

[MrOppourtunity]

"And the three men I admire most. The Father, son, and the holy ghost" I'm almost certain that is a reference to the three talented musicians that died on that silent day. The day the music died.

[mucic4life217]

This song was written for Buddy Holly. He died in a plane crash. This is such a nice song, gosh I love it.

[wcharles19]

Why Bob Dylan?

[lukeandgianshow]

@wcharles19 He Died in a Plane Crash

[wcharles19]

@lukeandgianshow Bob Dylan is still alive.

[MechFreakGoreko]

playing this with american pie by don mclean and dust in the wind by kansas... you get a secret message....

[xLunidas]

@MechFreakGoreko Really? I'm trying it right now, but i don't hear anything :/

[blink182forlife1]

great song

[Shelbama]

why is there a picture of Bob Dylan???

[ChrisPenta]

@Shelbama Read the lyrics. "The jester stole his thorny crown" and "With the jester on the sidelines in a cast" Refer to Dylan taking the number one spot from Elvis in the early 60s, and Dylans motorcycle accident in 66 that took him out of the spotlight forever, to be replaced by the Beatles.

[SushiAU]

stop fucking talking about whitney houston

[JuniorSinister8D]

@xXMaryRevolutionXx

This song is about the three men who died on a Plane Crash. Not about "Whitney Houston".

She may be Dead, But this song is nothing towards dedicated to her.

[BelievetheSt0rm]

@JuniorSinister8D I hear Whitney Houston has been drug free for about a week now.

[r0llskyay0]

@BelievetheSt0rm

lolololol

[randolph772]

@BelievetheSt0rm yeah ....and she's gonna stay that way....too bad i can't say the same for YOU....

[BelievetheSt0rm]

@randolph772 You're making that assumption based on what? You see my joke about a drug addicted singer who overdosed on the same narcotics which she indebted herself with. So you're making the assumption that I will be a drug addict, simply based on a joke?

[randolph772]

@JuniorSinister8D buddy holly and the rest of thoes doper's were all the same as houston....don't try to put one doper over another

[bumpy686]

For being 16 and usually listening to this new wave music i love this song!!!

[BelievetheSt0rm]

@bumpy686 You're not special.

[NotSoSilentBob2627]

The last verse is huanting.

[xXMaryRevolutionXx]

RIP Whitney Huston. A piece of music has died and will be missed greatly <3

[manardi55]

@xXMaryRevolutionXx thats who you say RIP about? go on a whitney huston to say RIP. its just outta place here.

[cwbsol193]

@xXMaryRevolutionXx This song is about a great musician who died in a plane crash, not some whack job who OD'ed in the bathtub. Get outta here

[whosscrewed]

It was written by Dianne warren.. sung first by pavarotti.. and Dylan was a backup singer..

[melloncollie777]

This song is about The Day the Music Died

"On February 3, 1959, a small-plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa, killed three American rock and roll pioneers: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J. P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson,"

[SushiAU]

@melloncollie777 fantastic copy and pasting work of wikipedia

[melloncollie777]

@SushiAU Thank you.

[ArizonaLuke]

wrong -- this song was mainly dedicated to the death of American values and a slam on the hippie, Godless, counter-culture and violence at the Rolling Stones Alamont concert.

[NotSoSilentBob2627]

@ArizonaLuke You are correct, but it wasn't a slam against hippies. It was a realization of how far American had steped away from it's own values. But good on ya for seeing that.

[somreklam1]

why is there a pic of bob instead of don??

[sillygames]

@somreklam1 He's the Jester.

[shmucko13]

@themanyouwanttobe pls do not put jackson and music in the same sentence

[r0llskyay0]

haha who confuses mclean with dylan? what a tard

[101796bg]

@r0llskyay0 that is dylan. read the description dumbass.

[Blackadderification]

why use a dylan photo?

[willfrog3036]

one of the greatsest songs ever written hands down

[wherareI]

Okay...I'm sorry but why the picture of Bob Dylan?

[MrNocomment13]

American Pie.... Made by a german.... seems odd but hey he did a great job! prost!

[wherareI]

@MrNocomment13 Don McLean was born in the U.S.  NY actually.

[MrNocomment13]

@wherareI I was talking about the person that posted the video. And it may have been a different poster, i dont know i had been drinking lol

[juffan]

The song mentions Dylan at least. He's the jester that stole the kings crown.

[LindyMarks]

In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida with the full drum solo is easily 20 minutes.

[millelr]

can all european comments just stop ! american music rules!

[FlyingKoalaz]

@millelr

Music is not a question of nationalities, it's true that America has great artists but their songs can also be enjoyed by Europeans. Try to look beyond American borders and you'll see that great singers and musicians can be found everywhere in the world ;)

[atfatw]

@FlyingKoalaz  but not in england

[wtf66611]

The longest song ever recorded.

[alex67500]

@wtf66611 Nope, that's probably Another Brick in the Wall...

[mikhelandrew]

@alex67500 The Doors' song, The End, is around 12 minutes. But, there are MUCH longer songs out there, lol, so 8 minutes is nothing, really.

[paulv3rm3ul3n]

@mikhelandrew Echoes from Pink Floyd, 23 minutes.

[lhaarbye1488]

@paulv3rm3ul3n Tubular Bells part one on the Exposed album by Mike Oldfield :)

[mattmoin117]

@paulv3rm3ul3n there are arabic songs that are 40 minuets, but anyway PICK FLOYD FTW

[mattmoin117]

@wtf66611 there are arabic songs that go for 40 minuets

[iamGridLoC]

@wtf66611 It isn't.

[yarden4080]

great quality,weird picture(;

[CantGripLife]

What year was this song first released?

[hans233x]

@CantGripLife 1972

[Nortonork]

The high quality of the sound is worth the error of the image. Just close your eyes and remember where you were...

[southwriter]

What has Bob Dylan got to do with this entire song? Come on, use imagination: Buddy Holly, The Beatles, etc.

[juliasalesdemoraes]

i love this song ♥

[sabrinahyena2000]

I love this song with my whole heart... for those from CTY, its every CTYer's favourite song....

[rockyrigby]

Bobby D?

[sk8rpro321]

[beebledoggie]

[JoelNavaOfficial]

[Darkit2099]

@JoelNavaOfficial naw lol

[JoelNavaOfficial]

@Darkit2099 He didn't.. -___-

[sk8rpro321]

@JoelNavaOfficial i pity u..................

[JoelNavaOfficial]

@sk8rpro321 I <3 you......no homo, faggot.

[3rkid2]

Bob Dylan is mentioned a lot in this song, anyways.

[DudeLebowski69]

GODDAMMIT...... Every time i watch this.... i cry ;[

[GothMetalhead999]

@DudeLebowski69 same

[MrYahya0101]

[brittanyyoakes]

@MrYahya0101 lol, don't worry, they're like sheep :P everyone loves bob dylan, so they gotta too.

Awesome song !

[r0llskyay0]

@MrYahya0101

OMG OMG OMG

[TaylorTaller]

Good quality of one of the best songs ever written, but why a picture of Bob Dylan?

[imkool51391]

@TaylorTaller well...he is the jester

[sniperzBAK]

@TaylorTaller I agree with it being one of the best songs ever written and I also wonder why its a picture of Bob Dylan

[norskeez]

clean song though

[Garth53035]

This is number one song in my song list i love it somthing i would sing with everyone i know and to the world now this is real music

oh yea i kick ass on the drums in real and in th band hero game lol

[Tootiefly]

Thanks for a great quality video! I hate listening to music on youtube with horrible quality!

[custerpride]

Thia ain't Don McLean!! Duh!!

[rcarroll88]

Bobby Zimmerman strikes again!

[themanyouwanttobe]

Then: John Denver dies tragically, an amazing song is written in his memory.

Now: Michael Jackson dies tragically, his own songs are repackaged for maximum profit off the free publicity.

The music is not only dead, it's spinning in its grave.

[atfatw]

@themanyouwanttobe soon justiin bieber will be singing this classic song

[uclrichard]

@atfatw it was recently reported (in england) that justin beiber has grown a moustache. is this true and should it be allowed?

[masterknut99]

@themanyouwanttobe wasn't the day the music died about buddy hollys death?

[guysiddyfo]

@masterknut99 That's right. In fact, the whole American Pie album was dedicated to Buddy Holly.

[GunnyMcNutt]

@themanyouwanttobe This song is about Buddy Holly dying, not John Denver.

[fungirlparty]

@themanyouwanttobe What song was written for John Denver?

[eminem16100]

i can make u dance in my pants

[cristinahardrock]

I'm the viewer 50000! :)

[Grandiosanoche]

excelente..muy buena rola

[CommissarTom]

Guys just chill, we all know it's Don McLean, I mean even the thing that says artist above says Don McLean. This is probably the best quality I've heard on YouTube so lets enjoy.

[Huibino]

@CommissarTom

i second that.. i came from the first youtube link, then i saw this one (high quality) and it's just so much better... couldn't care less about the picture.. 

[BennyG0]

The funny part is that this is the best quality version I've found

[faz1991]

i bet there are people out there who genuinely think that this is dylan singing.

[fenegmac]

man dylan sounds a lot like don mclean

[mikhelandrew]

@fenegmac lol

[ktowne790]

Funny enough, this is the best quality version of the song I've found on YouTube...thanks Bob Dylan!

[marcusdegen1]

Realy? Ha fucken Ha.......

[redstarvictory]

come on man

[noelIsadore19]

this aint bob dylan



[2pacsrevenge]

trolls trolling trolls

[cremalimon]

Fine, Dylan really needed to sing as Don McLean to be in tune?

Good try, somebody get this chap to the school to learn who Mr Dylan is....

[febo2024]

Totally sounds like Bob Dylan... if he had a voice coach that is..

[pondrafi]

this is Don Mclean.. not Bob Dylan

[misspajammers]

My Lord, people. Come on. Do your research.

[MzJammy]

lol this is not bob

[Kastelot]

It's remarkable how similar Robert and Donald sound.

[Abasiga]

yeah... so this is the original version... lol

[Jitterbug200714]

At least the picture is Dylan.

[BigTymerPimp]

Get the fuck outta here! This was clearly written by Lady Gaga and Selena Gomez.

[trickyfeet]

This isn't Mr. Zimmerman

[Coppertunes]

This is Madonna

[ktakw]

This isn'tDylen.

[freezeandfry]

haha its so beatyfull to see how people cant saperate the voice of a 70's hippy fiting through protests songs and a pure voice (which only had one hit) of don McLean

[raindog491]

This is Don McLean singing not Bob Dylan

[misterweiss2]

The kid (he could NOT have been alive in 1972, or was still sitting in his own shit) who posted this obviously never bought a record by either Don McLean or Bob Dylan...

[nakarid1000]

por supuesto que es Dylan que les pasa?

[DrRobert501]

@nakarid1000 por supuesto q no es dylan men! es don mclean, d su album american pie, 1971, la voz d dylan es inconfundible y cualkier persona que sepa un pokito d él se dará cuenta q este no es

[LiberalElitistMedia]

I was 15 when this song came out. At that time, music was my very soul. What difference would it make, who sang it, to someone born in the 1970's or 80's? But Bob Dylan!? LOL The only American artist I know with a more distinctive voice might be Tom Waits

[LiberalElitistMedia]

Take this down or change the information you clueless fack-tard!

[TSgtZerfoss]

this aint dylan.......... this is Mclean...

[hsym100]

What kind of brain do U have, man? What the hell does do Zimmermann here? No one knows, except U, my dear!

[Elbrusbase]

Man its not Dylan, this is Don Mclean.

[Dillon84SF]

no Don McLean can acualy sing unlike bob dylan.

[jormorales100]

Es Dave McLean no Dylan

[iritian]

@jormorales100 Don Mclean* no lo critico porque yo hice el mismo error la primera vez que la escuche

[aivalisco]

It is Don McLean wearing a Dylan mask...

[Thomastpkiii]

McLean dumbass. Bob Dylan is actual in the song though. Hes the "Jester".

[fossilvivo]

@Thomastpkiii AHAHAH you are absolutely right. it's a funny mistake, though..

[Kabikaz]

FAIL.

Dylan sounds more groggy. COme on, how do you confuse these two? :|

[samiddd182]

this is don mclean^^ not bob dylan

[mefistofel3042]

Это Дон МакЛин, на смерть Дилана

[iriagrey]

Cómo puedes confundirlos?? :O

[balmeida69]

[pamelacompany1]

[zappator]

if you can not recognize don mc lean from Bob Dylan, don't even post on Youtube.

[lupagalism]

[DjLethal173]

Dylan is the man responsible for some of the finest music ever written.

This is not one of them - it was Don McLean!

[216luciana]

esta version me gusta mas que la original

[TheMuravera]

Bob Dylan sei il migliore

[Rufir]

hahahahhaha!

cara, isso não é Dylan!

Nunca! Tira isso!

O cantor chama-se Don Mclean...

[wildhias]

Was this "confusion" an attempt to generate clicks?

[Golda1960]

[DEMA95K]
