Matthew Good - Moon Over Marin (Dead Kennedys cover)

[ballpeenbaby]

I heard this in the dentist's office yesterday.

[largepandabutt]

yea i still like the real one better but this is really good keep it up bro

[jayl1]

Matt Good kicks ass. Every jackass on here wanting to here a DK sound alike, should go listen to DK. They're a great band, but if I wanna here a punk version I'll stick with the original.

[antipopboner]

awesome cover

[esparremberger]

Although I like the version of the DK Jello Biafra, is a way of letter, which is the most important play in other ears ...

Brasil

[phil3241]

The original version is my favourite Dead Kennedy's song. This cover version really shouldn't work. But it does... fantastically well.

Absolutely brilliant.

[SURPLUSNiNjA]

I love the DK verison and I still like this. DK verison is better but still how many covers are better than the original?

[jentrevors]

@Albinocrab!!! If the Dead Kennedy,s were untalented Matt wouldn't be covering their song!!!

[albinocrab]

Dead Kennedy's are awesome, whoever thinks they are juvenile and untalented just don't get it.

[Cyberob13]

I didn't know people could ACTUALLY dislike Matthew Good...maybe it's just cause this isn't his song. Still, people should respect his decision to honor a...how should I put it...not so amazing artist by covering one of their songs. Oh well, haters gonna hate.

[SadusDeath]

shitty version :(

[interpolluter29]

There is nothing more hilarious than finding angry punks get heated over an artist on a major label covering their favorite songs. They just can't acknowledge the fact that an aritst recognized and respected an artist enough to cover it. Matt probably had a reason to do it, too.

[cikiciaki]

Tears for fears meet spandau ballet

[bIoodypingu]

People like this shit?

[1982CFD]

Shite

[mentalist1066]

More like Matthew Notsogood... effin awful!

[munggipossu]

my ears my beautiful ears!!!

[fractal7221]

I feel like my ear hole was just raped by this awful cover.

[FopeDarmer]

@fractal7221 hahaha

[redblue18700]

Excellent!

[mynameismud03]

Awesome!!!!

[PlaygroundPolitician]

no such thing as genre.

[esparremberger]

Apesar de preferir o original dos Dead Kennedys com Jello Biafra, não deixa de ser interessante até porque a música é excelente!

[VampireJekyll]

An interesting Mellow take on one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite albums from one of my favorite artists.

[Liquidpewpew]

I don't listen to music like this, but this is fucking sweet.

[vanzcorp]

Just listened to the Dead Kennedys version of this song and laughed. haha that band is terrible.

Kudos to Matt Good for taking a pile of shit and turning it into gold.

I didnt even know this was a cover until now

[mattatack9969]

@vanzcorp I smell a pretentious indie faggot.

[vanzcorp]

@mattatack9969 haha then you have your nose pointed in a different direction. I'm interested in music that sounds good, no matter the genre: rock, metal, punk, funk, jazz, blues, folk, classical, electronic, indie, etc etc. When it comes down to it, it all does the same thing, and most of it is great but there are some bands that sound awful and should find a different art form to put their energy into. I'm dissappointed that you would verbally attack someone simply for their music preferences.

[jt1337]

@vanzcorp You just contradicted yourself so hard. Many people enjoy the Dead Kennedys... so why not just say "its just not for me" the first time rather then coming down so harshly on a (real) punk band. Didn't your kindergarten teacher or anyone for that matter ever tell you everybody is different and has their own unique interests?

[jt1337]

@vanzcorp Also if your gonna talk shit about something so universal such as a type of music expect some flamez

[HansBethe]

@vanzcorp There isnt a one-sized cookie for everybody, dont assume they are "terrible" just because its not your thing. Why dont you go and read up about the DKs - becuase they are the last band to fit in the stereotype of a punk band.

[MST3Killa]

@vanzcorp Well, without their "pile of shit" you wouldn't have the gold then would you... Jackass. So maybe that pile of shit is better than you like to admit.

[mindonpaper]

Shitty fuckin cover....fuck you Matt Good.....He has talent.....but that's it....not my sound

[Brodieswife]

how is this song still so relevant in2010?? terrible cover tho`

[supremesquatchmaster]

@Brodieswife

we wont stop driving

[williamjamesbrown]

@Brodieswife ... didnt even know it was a cover. Doesnt change anything, either. Matt OWNS.

[m1n0rrthr3at]

Hold on, I'll comment once I stop throwing up and my ears finish bleeding.

[theinfectiondrummer]

this song makes me feel like it should be used in an elevator or something lol

[sublimesid87]

I think, this guy has done it justice. I was plesanty supprised. Nice one.

[rodneytheincontinent]

its ok i guess

[las10plagas]

sounds like american pie

[RVProductions]

The original had a kind of hilarious irony to it, and this one has an oddly fitting creepiness.

I kinda like it.

[Condestruction]

The original has no equal, but this is so beautiful!!!

[zedword138]

wow at first i wanted to talk shit but this is actually really great. takes this song in a dif direction

[bridgadellic]

cooooool DK deserves this tribute

[Erutseg]

I like this. Theres a sense of sincerity to it.

[jondavid666]

I thought I'd hate this, but I don't. I love the original, and I like this. It sounds like David Grey and Don McLean hung out with the DK's, took Oxy, smoked a lot of herb, and recorded. Awesome.

[drfeelgoodTO]

@jondavid666

LOL I know I thought the same thing but it's not bad. It is a pretty good oxy soundtrack isnt it.

[MrDavige]

Of couse he's not punk, but so what! He just got a whole new group of people to listen to our favorite song! Props!

[Koolkitties]

Moon over marin was supposed to be an ironically happy song!

Jello somehow approves.

[arthwr]

this is the pat boone sedation

[lesdaltonn]

we covered this song with our band,it's fuckin better than this crap..sorry but this not rock or whatever..music for crying in the dark...

[Arecibo]

I watched your band. You guys are fucking terrible.

[mirandaugh]

i watched too. it's funny this guy thinks his music comes even close to being in the same category as the grace and eloquence of good's music.

[TheKevinWalker]

Wow, this is cool. Very different. I like it alot

[shakemeshakeme]

I'd like to ask Jello what he thinks of this

I think it's rad.

[mrfallenstar]

The guys a talented singer but this falls short of the original.I expect any cover of DK to do so.

I give him credit for a good effort.

[IANC4EVER]

v good cover of classic dk song.

thanx for sharing...

[cikiciaki]

not so bad but like seems at a spandau ballet song

[zmike138]

Why did another good song have to be raped?

[daviddowns81]

i think he put somr new life into it, and I love Dead Kennedys, this is one cover i really like, i like how he can take the origional and make it over like this

[rileyluce]

you are an idiot

[zzzzaszzzz]

The original version has more heart than this one, seriously.

Not a bad one though.

[tchalfa]

Awesome...oh wait;)

[beareidoublelo]

stick a plastic fork in your ass plastikforks this pussy rock sucks go listen to soft rock

and stay the fuck away from covering dk songs matthew you fucking loser

[nikoalgo]

sad sick sock!

[InvaderChrissy]

GREAT

[burnellwood]

a compliment to Roberta Flack's FIRST TIME EVER I SAW YOUR FACE. aesthetic nerve tingler.

[petsaul]

This pretty much ruins the satirical meaning of the original. Thats my opinion, i just dont like this cover.

[Taktwo2]

Pretty good cover. I like it when people take songs and do something completely different with it.

[theScytheofGod]

and this cover is so completely different, if friggin' boggles the mind!

[plastikforks]

What's really striking about all those who are leaving negative comments (and, oddly, attempting to speak for the Dead Kennedy's) is how meaningless your hate is. I can only feel sorry that you live such narrow and mundane lives.

[blastingcaps]

Fuck them and this lame ass cover. It really does suck. All the life is gone. Its all opinion so whatever...but as a musician this fucking blows.

[plastikforks]

Hahhahahah! You imbecile.

[MJMghettohippo96]

this is bullshit

[davidbletch]

this is probably the most amazing cover I have heard, he makes it is own here.

[se712808]

Music to make all the white belts cry...

boo-hoo I ripped my sweater

[kellen928]

Thats a beautiful song, if anyone says something bad about it, you need to fuck off lol

[RisforRockit]

it's the Chumbawamba approach to pop music - subversion by pretty music and surprisingly engaged lyrics. the typical dilemma: how to make more than 500 people listen to what you have to say?

although this wasn't exactly a pop superhit... but it might catch the attention of people unlikely to put the needle on a record with a sleeve of burning cars!

[EffinSkeletor]

I'll bet you anything less folks have heard of this fellow than of the Dead Kennedys. This isn't a bad song because it sounds poppy, it's bad because it's just not done well. it's boring, it's emotionless, it's completely removed any sense of melody.

lol, i really do dig the Chumbawumba analogy, though.

[uglydermis]

well this cover sounds like other song so slowly so romantic really really sucks jello is a icon of hardcore not a teenage lovely school girl turn off ! pkease

[ZoophPA]

Idiot, yes.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

And I'm geeked to see Jello get his props, yo.

Oh, and try to figure out the lyrics before you comment about a cover, eh?

[AaronOD]

to 9999jpw:

you know shit about matthew good, none of his songs fall under the genre pop.

do a little research next time before you go making stupid fucking comments about stuff you know shit all about.

[nexusone415]

I live in Marin just outside of San Fran. yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh lol

[poo45]

You're exactly what the lyrics are talking about

[radiorah1990]

i love matt good, he has a soothing voice. hes also one of the most intellegent person i have ever seen in interview. i love this song and this cover

[ohcalcutta81]

I really liked this. Not as good as the original but very good nonetheless.

[alex2102k]

Sorry, don't like it! Moon over marine is my favorite DK song and this cover just ruins it. I appriciate your opinion, but I allmost fell asleep.

[skateordie1027]

wow this sucks. it just doesn't capture the emotion if you ask me. just my opinion.

[bohs1984]

I like this version and I am a hard core DK fan. But then again I also liked Boyz in the hood by Dynamite hack so my music compass might be a little suspect.

[TheOtherAndrewV2]

Really, really great. I never expected a Dead Kennedys cover like this.

[RisforRockit]

you might want to check out nouvelle vague's take on "too drunk to fuck"!

[joelkazoo]

Great cover of a great song.

[Laurent75017]

great cover ! I dont know this guy, but he's got a great voice

[adamfinspain]

i quite like it when artists take really cool songs and do a different take on them, at least they listened to the originals.

[magicmaryy]

As good as the original? No.

Good anyways? Yes.

[funkyfoolfromVanNuys]

wow, i didn't even know this existed til i saw it linked to another DK and i have to say that this didn't capture the angst of the DK version at all. i didn't enjoy it at all.

[ibanezmancons]

Hahaha this is quite funny really. Who cares if it's bad? It's a new take on Biafra.

[raptors11111]

this makes me want to kill myself, I'm gonna go listen to the dead kennedys.

[rchammer90]

good call

[pumpkinkilla]

bloody great to hear a cover of a great song,love to hear this on the radio other than the shit that is usually played

[silenno]

=Dahahahaha... this sucks... 0_o

[nolijisknowledge]

this fucking sucks

[JeeprzCreepers56]

This is horrible. (Go ahead and rate me a thumbs down I don't give a shit,Jello Biafra would be ashamed to hear this shit!)

[bigbabyjesusaddf]

blah.. not much of a matt good fan.. im canadian but i think hes a wanker like most probably do..its newt he covered this song tho...loved the kennedys till it turned into a marketing gimmic like all things else..good song tho

[hobomafonie]

Is there a reason [ like you dont like the music] or do you just hate him for the hell of it? lol.

[bigbabyjesusaddf]

a bit of both i guess.. i hate matt good cuz he seems like a wanker and i dont like shitty attempts at making shitty pop songs..he looks like an asshole in that pic too hahaha

[hobomafonie]

lol, that's wonderful.

um, im a canadian and think he's pretty cool. thanks for not being an ass though, cause its your opinion.

most people think their opinion is like, law, or something.

[JRKEMB]

Wow, you're sadly misinformed. He's an incredibly intelligent character and he's so far removed from pop music, I have no idea why you would accuse him of making "shitty attempts at making shitty pop songs". Take a listen to his music before you make unfounded accusations.

[JRKEMB]

[bigbabyjesusaddf]

hes fucking funny looking too..fuck that shit hahaha what a wanker

[JRKEMB]

O RLY? Judging from your videos...you are too. Sry bb fail.

[Redomar]

Pop songs? Matthew Good? I think you commented on the wrong video sir.

[AgainstBelief]

Oh shit, what a huge coincidence.

The bassist and drummer of my band LOVE Mathew Good and shit their pants with whatever he makes, but they also hate the Dead Kennedys. It's the opposite for me.

We were also beginning to learn Moon Over Marin to cover... what a huge fucking coincidence!

[Flxpperst]

I much rather perfer the original, But great cover.

[misamigos15]

This song is actually much more poignant

done in this style than in it's original

Punk Rock version. however I still prefer

the Dead kennedys version.

For another example of 2 opposites listen

to Jr Murvin Police and Thieves and then

The Clash version of the same song.

[GravediggerFuneral]

Absolutely perfect, wonderful song-even a bit scary to listen to the lyrics, amazing cover!!!!!!!!!!

[marciacrookes]

there's nothing wrong with covering a song by someone you admire, besides, I think this is great. Makes me sick when you get idiots who just leave negative comments with no thought - think first or don't bother idiot!

[positivepig]

what the hell is this shit?

[mbdan]

This is genius

[drunkenjerk]

what a shame

[tvnewsguy42]

Hospital Music, are you serious lol

[Monomaniac23]

"This song, and more, are all available on Matthew Good's debut album, "Spastic Surgery Disasters".

Available in all good major record stores. "

Dude its off Hospital Music and its not his debut album. dont be stupid. stop trying to sell your own crap while insulting such a great artist.

[BrianApocalypse]

This song, and more, are all available on Matthew Good's debut album, "Spastic Surgery Disasters".

Available in all good major record stores.

[parttimestooges]

Great song!
