[Zender0zXD]

Ghoti Hook!!!!!

[scion6221]

Barbie girl is Homegrown----doesnt even sound like Mike herrera

[thescarletsilence]

[MrGAKBAG]

This is great dude, love the songs bro.

[ForAllDisparity]

Btw, Venerea with Love is a Battlefield is awesome as well

[coolkrumb]

Sick Video man, these are all sick covers and i would have chose similar ones! sorry for the douches keep making more vids, its always nice to get new bands in my playlist

[billiejoestrongarm]

that was awesome.

[MrAndroid30]

What's with this constant argument about genres!! Can't we just listen to the music!!

[EZmoneh]

I thought barbie was Sum 41- Blink 182 xD?

[RUDIE110]

none of this is remotely ska. or punk for that matter.

[shelbygt5ooe]

@RUDIE110 Reel Big Fish is a ska band and Ghoti Hook is a punk band

[JoeSchmo987]

@shelbygt5ooe and The Suicide Machines are ska/punk...Pretty quintessential band as far as 3rd wave/skacore goes..second only to Op. Ivy.

[legatotechniques]

super

[MrCristiaan]

barbie is from offspring lol

[ikefan101]

barbie is from mxpx

[s2fernando96]

@ikefan101 Nah, Homegrown, it's a common youtube mistake :P

[ikefan101]

@s2fernando96 u sure??

[s2fernando96]

@ikefan101 i'm positive bro. :)

[ikefan101]

@s2fernando96 ok then that makes scence why mxpx sounds different but ok

[borngentlemansam]

good choice of tunes dude. fuck them leave the video on.

[carldudesons]

barbie girl is from zebrahead fool!

[MrThemightyarbiter]

there is so much "love" here on youtube :D

[jrack13]

Ataris-Boys of Summer

RBF-Take on Me

Lagwagon-Brown Eyed Girl

Down by Law-500 Miles

Me First-Stairway to Heaven

[hatchet0dude]

good choices.... cept the barbie girl one

[Humanpunk77]

More shite the barbie song should be bad enough but you have to put up 4 more.

[andydude30]

@Humanpunk77 The barbie song was covered as a joke dumbfuck.

[Humanpunk77]

@andydude30 I think you'll find there's only one dumbfuck between us and it aint me. So what if it was a joke it's crap. Listen to Bad Manners or Madness they joke but still sound good. You are a thick knuckle dragger

[andydude30]

@Humanpunk77 They both sound good to me. Its called having an open mind.

[pataalez]

Este es el mejor! Ghoti Hook : Walking on sunshine :)

[charitydawnrisner]

wow. you people are cranky....

[ChemicalRomancerLove]

I thought it was bawesome! You did an awesome job! (I BET HALF OF THESE PEOPLE HAVE NO VIDS!)

[radioactivellamafish]

Like your taste in music. And in usernames ;)

[IIVVAANCC]

DUDE WTF!!! BARBIE IS MADE BY MXPX!!!

[laylalaylady]

@IIVVAANCC You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Home Grown recorded the "Barbie Girl" cover and released it on their "EP Phone Home" EP. MxPx has nothing to do with that cover (other than idiots like you making videos crediting the song to them) and it sounds absolutely nothing like them.

[momenthatilvefor]

the koopa version of 500 miles is way better

[LazySundayGaming]

Is the last one Me First and the Gimme Gimmes?

[FoximusPrime1]

Streetlight manifesto should be on here basically anything from 99 song

[meetbob94]

i thought

barbie girl was covered by zebra head

[mrnoname1]

i hate frostwire now, because songs 5, and 4 were said to be by me first and the gimme gimmes... along with a bunch of other shit i downloaded (most of which i found out was new found glory), but this is an awesome video, glad rbf made it

[lardassbob818]

i think me first and the gimme gimmes also do a good cover of walking on sunshine

[laylalaylady]

@lardassbob818 Too bad Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies never recorded any cover of "Walking On Sunshine". Not all punk covers are done by MFATGG.

[taygirl321]

Fail.

[sorfixx]

The band in the second picture is goddamn Less than Jake not Down by low!

[JennyLeik]

Goldfinger - 99 red balloons should be on this D:

[solarialan7]

pretty good, you should listen to some latin ska bands, you may probably get pretty caught by it, let me siggest you skalariak-maldita tu suerte, pretty good cuban stye ska :D

[lilmoglafar1]

@solarialan7 some good mexican ones like panteon rococo,inspector,salon victoria just some i like

[skumpunkoc]

thats cuz limewire sucks.... and people are idiots ... if i dont know a song or band i admit it instead of just trying to be like oh its this one.. an thats what most people think.... you did well LlamaArmy fuck all the haters..

[emeryDH]

Nice video, I love ska cover songs!

[risingdeathy1]

wtffffffffffffff! lime wire said the first two songs were the "me first and the gimme gimmes"......balls. damn you lime wire!

[froggerchik]

holy jebus ppl wtf back off. lets not ACT like all of the people calling this video a discrace and calling person who made it a retard are perfect. cuz we all know u arent. why cant u jst respect that it was a good try at the least.? if u like the bands sining why cant you be happy that they are getting more publicity.? it says who they are in the discription and the comments. so back off. cuz ur not perfect and unless your perfect you have no right to point out someones mistakes.

[LlamaArmy]

Is that better? Goddamn only like 8 comments out of the 172 had anything good to say. The rest were "Um wrong bands.... you are an idiot. a disgrace. you are an abomination to society, for making this video that has 2 wrong bands. Never have I met such a retard on the internet."

People make mistakes, don't be a douche about it.

[WhyLove]

@LlamaArmy that's all people have time to do on youtube is bitch about everyfucking thing!

[SkaMusicman777]

@LlamaArmy Haha lol I love your comment about how everyone's a douche. My only gripe is that I was expecting every song to have punk & ska elements, and then I realized you meant the songs were either punk OR ska individually. But that's ok, nice list!

[grimm00777]

@LlamaArmy it was a good try better luck next time

[BaristaBladeGrinder]

@LlamaArmy its funny in some comments ive repeated the same thing but then again its a waste of your breath and time :) but ur right so thumbs up :D

[ARIKHANZIN]

Jeez give the guy a break. Everyone gets bands wrong, it's not a disrespect kuz these are fucking covers.

[newpunker]

Dude the first song is not mxpx that band is homegrown, and the second band is not less than jake that is down by law

[nasonqjenai]

lame selection...2 and 1 ar good covers,but the best punk cover ever is Pennywise-stand by me,originaly by Ben King(btw it's from 1991 and I don't think that someone will do a better cover)

[TheXD1991]

@greatestxgift finished? Thanks 4 givin' me the opportunity to say something...that is the information I wanted, and thanks for sending tht link! There was no need to play on the card of offending...and even if u say that I am an idiot, or ignorant, never mind! Chill out dude, and don't act like an as*hole next time! Peace out! :D

[greatestxgift]

@TheXD1991 I believe you were the first person to say anything offense by calling me little kid names like "Mr. Shithead" for simply pointing out your ignorance. If you are going to call someone out for being wrong (as you did to nibyKamil), at least know what you're talking about and have the right information instead of spouting off more wrong bands. All it does is make you look come off as a complete fool.

[punkRawkk132]

I LOOOOVEEE REEL BIG FISH!!!!

[JoeAverage000]

I love the 500 Miles cover.

[themedia]

I don't know if it has been mentioned but... other mistake is "500 miles" is not LTJ but The Me First and the Gimme Gimmes...

[greatestxgift]

@themedia uhhh...no. It's Down By Law's cover. Why do so many stupid little kids think every punk cover is by MFATGG?

[jsk8er97]

th 1st isnt mxpx

[axl7ksk]

極真魂ｗｗｗｗ



[axl7ksk]

極真魂ｗｗｗｗ

[nibyKamil]

barbie girl... is't it NoFX cover?

Reel Big Fish - Take on me - propably the best cover ever

[kjoberk]

@nibyKamil Agreed on the RBF cover of Take On Me. I fucking LOVE that cover. 

[TheXD1991]

@nibyKamil no it isn't, actually simple plan featuring madden of good charlotte...:D

[greatestxgift]

@TheXD1991 You're absolutely wrong. The Barbie Girl cover is by Home Grown off of their "EP Phone Home" EP. Why do you comment on something you're clearly ignorant of?

[TheXD1991]

@greatestxgift ok, sorry Mr.Shithead, I wanted to clear some things...untill I see a live performance of that Home grown, I'll believe that you are wrong...:D

[greatestxgift]

@TheXD1991 Wow...you really are more ignorant than I could have ever imagined. You don't believe me when I tell you it's 100 FACT Home Grown but you DO believe it's Simple Plan/GC because you saw one or two videos on YouTube miscrediting this song to them. Since you are too stupid to do your own research to realize how wrong you are, here are two links to Home Grown playing the song live - youtube.(com)/watch?v=f-skzwoI­Po4 - youtube.(com)/watch?v=hB7DZwAl­5qI (remove parentheses)

[greatestxgift]

@TheXD1991 It's idiots like you and the uploader who post misinformation that are perpetuating this absurb believe that "insert shitty band" recorded this song. There are countless other bands on YouTube that are credited for the song but the FACT is that it's Home Grown's cover off their "EP Phone Home" EP. I had the CD when it came out so I'm 100 percent positive that's it's Home Grown. Hopefully this is a lessson well learned to not comment on things you are absolutely clueless of.

[kookiemoster1]

#5 Took some balls, Instant Classic!

#4 Not bad, not bad at all

#3 Job well done, gonna go download it right now

#2 Better than the original

#1 Lol! I like! Everytime I head this song it reminds me of Fry no matter who singin it.

[drmltj411]

you all are gay. music is what you make it. so fuck off :)

[Dericho47]

Down by Law is the band that does the 500 miles cover

[tigerstrike54]

@Dericho47 the song is called I'm Gonna Be

[Dericho47]

@tigerstrike54 Actually it's called 500 Miles. I know this because I HAVE THE ALBUM (punkrockacademyfightsong) IN MY CD PLAYER!!

The ORIGINAL by The Proclaimers is titled I'm gonna be(500 miles).

Thanks anyway!

[bmnew]

Anyone remember the show on fungus 53 that played nothing but punk/pop covers???

[xbendiistraw]

none of those bands have any hint of ska in them. it's all just punk.

[jessebr0wn]

@xbendiistraw not the covers, but you need to listen to the bands before you say they aint ska

[xbendiistraw]

@jessebr0wn I have listened to ska my whole life, and I have heard all of the bands' music above. Their original songs are not real ska. It doesn't even fit into the 3rd wave! it's just poser ska, with mostly punk.

[greatestxgift]

@xbendiistraw You are a completely clueless little girl. To say that RBF, Suicide Machines, and Less Than Jake don't have "any hint of ska in them" is just plain idiotic and I hope you're just trolling. I hate musical labels and genres but they are the epitomy of what 3rd wave ska is.

[xbendiistraw]

@greatestxgift Do you think that ska is just about the horns?

[greatestxgift]

@xbendiistraw hahahahaha...NO. First off, I haven't been the biggest ska fan in the last decade but all through out the 90's, I was really into the whole scene and played in a couple lame ska/punk bands. Second of all, you've already proved yourself to be someone who has no idea what you're talking about when you claim that none of these bands in this horrible youtube video have a "hint of ska in them". I hate when idiots like you post on things when you're completely clueless.

[xbendiistraw]

@greatestxgift all i'm saying is that these bands are POSERS

[greatestxgift]

@xbendiistraw ...that's not all you're saying because you also stated that none of these bands "have any hint of ska in them" and that clearly shows how clueless you really are. I'm going to humor you though...so what constitutes these bands as being "posers"?

[xbendiistraw]

@greatestxgift their lyrics don't express the true meaning of ska.

[greatestxgift]

@xbendiistraw Now here comes the good question sweetheart - What's the true meaning of ska?

[jessebr0wn]

@xbendiistraw i think greatestxgift is kinda trollin on you a bit but i do agree with him man, ska like all music revolves around what the band is singing about, there is no real essance or meaning in ska because what people sing about is the meaning or music, its like saying op ivy isint ska because there lyrics arnt upbeat or downbeat or whatever your criteria for ska is. that and the suicde machines early stuff is anything but poser music, same with less than jake

[BuuvMonster]

good stuff : 3

[greatestxgift]

And as you probably know now, Less Than Jake didn't cover the second song in your shitty video. It's embarrassing and disrespectful to bands that actually record songs to have idiots like you make videos with pictures of bands that have nothing to do with it. Please take your video down or change. 2 out of 5 IS pretty bad

[greatestxgift]

Wow, I am appalled how many idiots have listed this song wrong. If you don't know who recorded this song, why the fuck do you make another youtube video stating MxPx did it??? It's Home Grown and that's 100 percent FACT. This track is off of the "EP Phone Home" EP and it came out in 1999 by...HOME GROWN...one more time...HOME GROWN. And for the idiots on here arguing it's done by "insert shitty band who had nothing to do with this song"...you people are even more ignorant and stupid.

[gloriafitzgerald]

reel big fish-take on me (Y) love the song

[teoromero420]

choking victim does a pretty sweet version of "take on me" cept they call it "corporate trash"

[108MiALEE]

la unica que se salva es take on me

[ST8CPT]

mxpx doesnt sing that song?! zebrahead sings it.

[rjcustin]

@ST8CPT you guys are both fuckin retards homegrown covers barbie girl. what the fuck read a fucking book or some shit

[hatchet0dude]

fuck yeah dude!!!! i love all these covers.... but not so much the barbie girl one lol.

[jibordiban]

surrender by less than jake???

[fireblast111]

MxPx isnt punk

[dadibbels1]

thats not less than jake its down by law

[TheFacelessK]

i used to like mxpx when i was just getting into punk then i saw them at a show and i hated it

[duffbitch]

Barbie Girl is from homegrown dude!

[roku4ever]

500 Miles isn't by Less Than Jake, it's by Down By Law....seems like this vid has alot of mistakes.

[vbwake]

the MxPx version of 500miles is so much better than LTJ's.

[sayhoshin]

PUNKS NOT DEAD !!! :D

[hardlyeveron]

WOW... kick ass songs!!! WTG!!!



[8yume]

THAT WAS NOT MxPx !!! IT SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE THE VOCALIST, AND IT'S A KNOWN FACT THAT 'HOMEGROWN' MADE THIS SONG!!! WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM THAT MxPx MADE THIS!?!?!?

[MakingFaces]

The "Take on Me" cover by Reel Big Fish is one of the best.

You should listen to the "500 Miles" cover by Toy Dolls.

[jackandstewiearefrie]

its ok it was good anyway really my favorites

[MrCleanisdefeated]

isn´t MxPx, is Home Grown, you fool, from Phone Home EP (1999)

[mklj0]

woooo!!!!!!!! awsomeness!!!!!!!!!

[pzznutzz01]

MXPX song is actually Home Grown

[somedude1095]

Dumbass the Barbie Girl in this vid is by Zebrahead!!

[greatestxgift]

@somedude1095 It's sad that you called someone a "dumbass" for listing a song wrong when you're even more pathetic for trying to punk him by naming ANOTHER wrong band. You are truely a fucking idiot. Kids, please do a little research before making ignorant and pathetic comments and videos

[somedude1095]

@greatestxgift Ok? Dude its been 4 months since i wrote that comment and no one else was bothered by it. Wow excuse me i thought it was Zebrahead. Big freakin deal!!

[greatestxgift]

@somedude1095 I wouldn't have commented on your idiotic comment if you didn't have the nerve to call someone a "dumbass" when you've proved yourself to be the ultimate dumbass for not knowing what the fuck you were talking about. It's little fucks like you who perpetuate this belief that "insert shitty band" recorded this song and that's completely wrong to Home Grown who actually took time to record this. PEOPLE, PLEASE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IF YOU'RE GOING TO ARGUE ON THESE THINGS.

[somedude1095]

@greatestxgift Wowwww i just wrote that i THOUGHT it was Zebrahead at first. Calm down jesus christ its not a big fuckin deal!

[greatestxgift]

@somedude1095 You posted, "Dumbass the Barbie Girl in this vid is by Zebrahead!!" You didn't write that you "THOUGHT" it was Zebrahead...you actually had the nerve to call someone a dumbass when you had no idea what you were talking about. You should take this as a lesson well learned not to post ignorant comments in these things when you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. It makes you look like a complete fool if you haven't noticed.

[somedude1095]

@greatestxgift Dude seriously its no big fuckin deal just leave me and everyone else that you have a "problem with" here alone!

[dean2930]

hey man, im pretty sure barbie girl is by simple plan and good charlotte! but then i could be wron because of lime wire!

[a4m77]

500 miles isn't played by Less than Jake but by Down by Law!! ;)

[jeephunter16]

@a4m77 its less then jake dumbass

[box0choklitz]

@a4m77 its a cover, idiot.

[MetallicAbkbgbh]

@a4m77 u r so retarded xD

[a4m77]

500 miles isn't played by Less than Jake but by Down by Law!! ;)

[Punx116]

if you want to see a great punk cover

look at the band

the unseen - talking bombs

thats a facking awesome cover man

[punx4life123]

screeching weasel- i can see clearly is a good one too

[pepeskatalite4201]

FAKE sKA !!!!!! listen to prince buster better....... fuck emo sKA

[jakemury182]

fuck you nobody say that this is emo ska no suck its skapunk its less than jake or suicide machines but i think you like ska 2 tone and its all rigth prince buster is cool but don say emo ska to the suicide machines and if you still fucking with that shit goto hhell man

[MrRey91]

nice songssss

[LlamaArmy]

@masinapnd

burn in hell faggot :)

sorry for messing up some of the bands. Nobody sells ska/punk cd's anymore so im pretty much forced to use limewire. and limewire isnt the most trustworthy music sharing program

[TehLief]

@LlamaArmy yes they do. Sunrise and HMV

[designlover88]

@LlamaArmy Damn! lol

[DonStirFrye]

@LlamaArmy As many people have pointed out, The first song is a cover by Home Grown and the second song is a cover by Down By Law. It's embarrassing and disrespectful to bands that actually record songs to have idiots like you make videos mislabeling them with pictures of bands that have nothing to do with it. Please take your video down or in the very least, change it.

[thisissoawesomebrah]

@DonStirFrye shit... not a big deal... doesnt matter as long as you correct him. No need to start insulting llama man and calling it "disrespectful". overkill mate

[DonStirFrye]

@thisissoawesomebrah It's absolutely disrespectful that he knowingly kept up the wrong bands after countless people told him that they were indeed wrong. It's disrespectful to the bands who took the time and energy to record these songs for us to listen to when they are miscredited to bands that have nothing to do with them. This video alone has over 50,000 views and two bands could've had more fans from the exposure but @LlamaArmy knowingly kept them in the dark.

[DonStirFrye]

@thisissoawesomebrah Also, the uploader was knowingly perpetuating misinformation about who recorded the songs leading to other kids making their own videos with the wrong bands credited. How would you feel if you worked hard to record a song and people all over the internet are crediting it to a band who has done nothing to deserve the recognition? I'd feel pretty disrespected.

[Vark1103]

@masinapnd A lot of things that you have are thanks to american ;)

[AreWeTheChamps]

@masinapnd yaa dude Fuck off

[cope1172]

Sorry, bro, but the cover of "500 Miles" is not Less Than Jake. I'll guarantee it's done by Down By Law. I would know Dave Smalley's voice anywhere.

[barkbrod]

wow a tattoo studio iam so impressed.... reel big is great (almost mighty) thou.

[dianasaur13]

wow your first song is definitely done by Me First and the Gimmie Gimmes. pretty sad you don't even know you make a video and don't get it right. and how did no one else notice??

[garymags]

Sorry mate...YOU'RE wrong! The first song aint done by 'Me First' at all. Sounds nothin like 'em. It's MXPX. Get it right!

[dianasaur13]

@garymags Umm ok dork i'm talking about the number ONE song!! not the first song played. I don't about the dumb barbie girl song. So yeah!

[garymags]

Dork? Ouch! I'm so hurt! If you mean the song that he has put as 'Ghoti Hook' then you're STILL wrong.....Its NOT Me first and the gimme gimmes!

[dianasaur13]

well i fucking hate that your right but you are. my bad. there is a video that i watched of them that had that song and it was exactly the same but i guess that fucktard messed up.

[MeTsRoCkMySoCk13]

@dianasaur13

no the first one is definitely mxpx. from on the cover officially. the mistake was made with 500 miles. this version was done by down by law.... awkwaaard for everyone haha :]

[Doomstruction1979]

@MeTsRoCkMySoCk13 There IS a version by mxpx, but this one is DEFINITELY the Home Grown version. I own Home Grown's "Phone Home" EP with this on it and I know the growl in the chorus because my friends and I used to sing along with it.

But yeah, 500 Miles is Down By Law too.

[gigantipithicus1]

@MeTsRoCkMySoCk13 Wrongo bud... that's Home Grown On the Cover play list Summer of 69 (Bryan Adams) Oh Boy (Chuck Berry) Drum Machine Joy (Joy Electric) You Found Me (Altar Boys) Take On Me (a-ha) Marie, Marie (The Blasters) You Put This Love In My Heart (Keith Green) No Brain (The Cootees)

[jairowairo]

la version de Toy Dollls de 500 miles esta mas mejor

[hfsdogahreto]

the first one is not Mxpx, but Homegrown actually..

[hitman7777777777]

awful

[ANGELvizA]

Wonderful !!!!

[PenguinFury]

some dumb assholes.. Think they know shit.. Makin up fake interviews... IV SEEN THEM COVER (500 miles).. There are 5-10 different covers, But Less Than Jake DID do one of them.. and this is it..

[satanic0rudeboy]

you forgot 'money changes everything', the cyndi lopper cover by choking victim...o yea they do a better cover of 'take on me' wit more suitable diff. lyrics...(its called 'corporate trash')

[themilkman01001]

haha PLAY

[sw33tcidas]

u dont have sunshine of punk ska covers :S

u are my sunshine!!! :P (8)

[sayhoshin]

wrooooooonnnnngggggggg its from aqua

[AlohaMistaHand]

@sayhoshin wrrroooonnnggggg...Home Grown

[Alx38000]

Oups i thought barbie girl is a song from Zebrahead ^^

[jamesbullet55]

I thought it was Simple Plan :P Still an amazing song :)

[SurfBumJay]

garthrallysports is right. 500 miles was not covered by less than jake. i saw an interview where the drummer talks about it. its pretty funny though how everyone thinks its them

[omykron88]

yeah, and "down by law" is actually singing this :-)

[420chris4208]

1.The Berlin Project - Gin N Juice

[drvonhoss]

You missed a ton of greats. Check out Wannabe by Zebrahead.

[anbucool007]

anyone know where i can get Suicide Machines : It's the end of the world as we know it?
