  • Very nice

  • loved the rainbow shoes! Cute!

  • better then original ;D

  • What could make Jack Johnson's music any better? *loads bowl* Ahh, there it is.

  • this song is so sentimental to me,

  • I never thought White Stripes would actually sing songs with such lyrics! I guess their whole appeal kind of put me off somewhat but now, I think twice the next time such bands sings songs . . . and learn to listen to the words they sing. :)

  • I can't figure out what this song is about. (sarcasm)

  • This song reminds me of the time when I was just getting to know my girlfriend. I met her in elementary school and it takes me back to those care free days.

  • my friends dad died and listening to music like this makes everything feel better. I've known him since I was 3 and now I'm 13

  • wish itd help me

  • @tristanshepard im sure it will :) just believe.

  • this is such a good song i love his music it all sets like that calming safe happy perfect mood for me :) <3

  • @mariamladisa Mariamladisa, let's just say that "I can tell that we are going to be friends". I am with you on that sister, when I need to calm the raging pulse, I listen to Jack Johnson and draw pictures...Pictures of walruses and flamingos are very soothing

  • @mdh2040 me too! i draw too this too xcpet my drawings r mostly just scribles or random stuff haha :)

  • curious george brings back A LOT of memories

  • @detroitfantg1 Remember when he.....Actually, I cannot remember a single story. All I can remember is the stuffed animal that I lost on the bus :(. How bout you?

  • all i know is i want the tennis shoes in that picture HAHA

  • oh yeahhhh

  • His songs place in me such an elated mood... I love Jack..... Anybody got some good tabs for this song? he starts pickin' with a D and G I think in the beginning... right?

  • It doesn't sound bad, but this is one of those songs that should really NEVER be covered. The original was amazing and I don't feel like Jack Johnson does Jack White justice.

  • Jack Johnson Songs, how can 34 idiots heartless doesn't like it? his voice make me feel as everything its calm and quiet and yet i can for at least on precious moment forget about the misery and suffering outside, Listen Upside down, you and your heart, flake, taylor, sitting waiting wishing, i can't understand how someone pull against it. Thank you Jack Johnson for do what u do, songs to calm down and make easier a world full of pain!

  • @ spawnaqua Ok this is obviously google translate.

  • this is pure true music that actually makes sense.

    not some other songs you here these days such as lil wayne lady gaga and stuff

    BUT THIS IS GOOD music that u can listen too by the way 34 idiots slipped and fell and clicked the dislike button. thumbs up everyone. do it now!!!

  • I'm a man and this makes me feel extremely strong emotions... and i dont care

  • It makes me sad that there is so much arguing on any of Jack's videos. He plays music to stop this kind of behavior. Please respect that

  • @Rennzdawg97 agreed

  • @MoosePaw9 this was obviously covered with The White Stripe's consent, you sure you're not part of those ignorant people.?

  • @MoosePaw9 This is a COVER! He is redoing the song. It's not infringment. He didn't steal the song. This is his take on the song. Btw your caps is on

  • @MoosePaw9 your ignorance should be stopped.

  • @MoosePaw9 Dude, is that really necessary? Just chill, and learn to read. It says "(cover)" right up there.

  • @MoosePaw9 I think everyone pretty much summed it up. You're stupid.

  • love it

  • to be fair, whilst you could never replace the original, it is a nice cover

  • This song made me cryyyyyyyyy so sad but i love it:(

  • This is good. The White Stripes version is more mellow and chill. I like the original more. This version isn't bad though, not bad at all.

  • Those are some cool shoes ! :D

  • jack johnsons old songs are just the best! :D

  • @SLIKSPECClan its not even his song

  • WHO would dislike this beautiful awesome song??!!

  • that's nice

  • Jack Johnsons Verson is SO much Better <3

  • why?

  • just makes me smile :)

  • ive heard both i like jacks better

  • @gadgetzan55 hahaha wat jack? Jack white or Jack Johnson

  • @nodgie14 different not better

  • I like both versions. (White Stripes/Jack Johnson) No matter which you prefer, the bottomn line is it's a cool take on the innocence of childhood and all the little things you do at the elementary level but probably take for granted at the time. We truly don't notice any time pass at that age. Then one day you wake up, are nearly 40, and wonder where the time went. Awesome song.

  • OMG IM GONNA BE FRIENDS WITH JACK JOHNSON!!! lol

  • thank you jack- my mom just died and your music is helping me get though it

  • @koonbunny1011 How To Get Attention by Koonbunny1011. Lame.

  • @koonbunny1011 i send my deepest apologies to you my stranger friend.

  • @koonbunny1011 I know I'm a little late, but just be strong. My mom passed away 7 years ago when I was just 9 years old from cancer. It was her birthday today and it was tough, but just remember she wants you to be strong. Hope I'm not too late.

  • @koonbunny1011 my dad died 5 months ago and i think this song is helping me though it too :)

  • Comment removed

  • I've gotta another favorite song!!!;) TOO CUTE!!!!:D

  • Does White Stripes make good music? I never really heard of them. I would probably listen if the fan-base wasn't all disrespectful towards other great artists. I don't care if you say your opinion, but most of you are saying "STOLEN". That's not even a correct opinion. It's a bad impression to do that. Shows a lot of the band themselves indirectly. -_-

  • @MrFavorite01 Thats pretty ignorant to judge a band like that. They make amazing music. The negative comments are mostly on this video anyways.

  • @Kotov5yndrome Which is true. But I'm only as ignorant as everyone else here. :) I wouldn't be on other videos if they don't have these comments.

  • @MrFavorite01 Most of their stuff is a lot edgier/heavier than We're Gonna Be Friends.

  • @maalbe987 Yeah, I know.

  • @MrFavorite01 Oh. Guess I should've assumed you checked out some of their stuff shortly after you left the comment.

  • @maalbe987 Oh yeah, I kind of did that after I left the comment. I'm not mad at the band, you see. I was just saying that because of the rest of the ignorant comments left by others. Yeah, sorry for the inconvenience.

  • @MrFavorite01 The White Stripes are actually a pretty good band. You should check them out. I recommend  "You've got her in your pocket" and "Seven Nation Army." I'm not sure if it's music that you would like, but those are my favorite songs by them.

  • @ArtCultureFashion Yeah. Don't worry, I know that they're good. I was just having my fit of rage for whatever reason that day. But I'll check those out as well. Thanks.

  • It's funny cuz it's creepy.

  • Jack Johnson made it such a sweet song - I guess only Jack White can give it that edgy, slightly twisted feel. *evil smile*

  • i don't think anybody should really criticize either version. both are lovely. both are very different,though. i say we just enjoy the music, cos that's all that really matters. c;

    everybody have a lovely day.<3 ^-^

  • Jack Johnson played a cover of the White Stripes song for the Curious George sound track. Both songs are beautiful. I hope this clears up any confusion and satisfies any up set people.

  • @luvanimals11 dude thats why is says (cover) at the end

  • @luvanimals11 no it doesn't.

    because jack johnson covered the white stripes.

  • Ok im gonna make this reeeeeally clear because obiously no one gets it from the other comments

    THIS SONG IS ORIGINALLY BY THE WHITE STRIPES. JACK DID NOT "STEAL IT HE MADE A COVER OF IT.

  • stealer from the white stripes

  • @spiderwilber he just made it better

  • @huskers411 in what ways is this better then the original?

  • BAH! Totally a remake :O

  • Me too

  • Napoleon Dynamite braught me here! :D :D <3

  • @LoveYouFredF the song used in napolean dynamite was by the white stripes

  • @lemonator406 yeah but its still the same song and i saw on the credits that it was by him! ^^^^

  • Look at me I'm cool because I say things like " Which song is better" that are totally subjective, definitively!

  • aww this song was 4 my 4 grade memory dvd cuz i m goin to middle school so wen i saw this i started crying cuz there wer my kindergaten pics

  • @clinclub111 lol go listen to retards then we wont stop u

  • I like ths version better because his voice is softer and more peaceful and peace is just what we need now.

    But I love the original all the same :)

  • This is okay but no where near as good as Jack White's version.

  • Yeah...the white stripes did a better job.

    

  • My 3 year old loves this man great job

  • Finnaly!

  • @animalman1122 It's actually not originially by Jack Johnson. It was one of the white stripes' singles.

  • i want to know what mpaulmorgan said..

  • Come on, both versions are really good! white stripes or jack johnson,i love this song!

  • The original is so much better!

  • It takes me back autumn  1982 walking to school, grade 1....

  • I love the addition of the piano in this song

  • Honestly I think his version is better than Jack White's

  • I don't think that Lego is actually 6 feet tall

  • Beautiful song

  • People who think Jack Johnson isn't good enough to cover the White Stripes are equivalent to WMG Copyright Nazis.... That isnt something to be.. Listen to the Music.

  • thumps up if this reminds you of napolen dynamite

  • I love both versions of these songs :) stop fighting there in fact can be both

  • I miss school =( Crying

  • Write your own song JJ

  • @momoProjects go to hell jack sing his own songs wich he puts alout Athought in to them it takes a lot of efert to right a son id like to see u try anything even close to the things he does but with ur stupid ignerins u cant i dont even understand y u go and look this shit up if u dont like it so shut ur stupid mouth befor i have jack make u

  • @CheyenneFae well, to answer your question, i was looking it up to see if it was any good. i'm sure there's many people out there that think it's great, but i never really got into jack johnson. it just personally think it's better done by the white stripes. i understand that there's many artists out there that do a few remixes of a song and that's cool cause this song really fits in with jack johnson's personality (or what i've perceived of it so far). love and peace to you too (;

  • @CheyenneFae go ahead and look at the upload dates for this and the white stripes version.

  • @momoProjects go to hell  jack sing his own songs wich he puts alout of thought in to them it takes a lot of efert to right a song id like to see u try anything even close to the things he does but with ur stupid ignerins u cant i dont even understand y u go and look this shit up if u dont like it so shut ur stupid mouth befor i have jack make u

  • @mpaulmorgan You sir, are an imbecile.

  • @whitsoxdude

    I read this in an English accent. And it made me smile.

  • @whitsoxdude imbecilen

  • @bjmp9396 .......brian regan reference?! :D

  • @EEwhit3y yes sir ;)

  • @mpaulmorgan dude, not all of jhonson's songs were covers. so quite being spastic 

  • Like this if you came here just to like comments amount the white stripes

  • @fab186 You must be a very lonely person. Lonely and sad.

  • thats a pretty tall lego man XD

  • Jack Johnson did a whole album including several covers for the movie Curiouse George from various artist plus his own work. The song is originally written by the White Stripes and was used for the movie in a part where it deemed fit. The debate people have over things is so stupid. It's damn good music. Enjoy it. What is there really to say at all.

  • Some people argue for the sake of arguing. Stripes version is of course the original, but this is a damn good cover. Both have a different feeling and obviously both musicians respect each other.

  • Jack is waaaay better than White Stripes

  • @luqz0r hey hey hey..dont put down jack white

  • @luqz0r takes one to know one

  • jack's better than jack.

  • Jack's better than Jack.

  • Jack's better than Jack.

  • are you really trying to copy the other guys comment from the white stripes video....that's kinda dumb when you think about it isn't it? i mean here you are taking a funny original comment and moving it over so you can get some thumbs... it makes you look really stupid bro.

  • play this to a girl at a bonfire = infinite pussy :b

  • @2americanidiot comment stealing :O

  • the second i started to hear this (via youtube playlist) i predicted there would be argument related to the white stripes. seriously??? don't be so predictable.

  • I'm a huge fan of Jack White (as a person and as a musician) and I'm glad Jack Johnson likes him, too!

  • lol that was one tall lego man! 6 foot! whew! LOL

  • Napoleon Dynamite FTW!

  • love jack jhonson, such a calming upeat voice.

  • this song makes me depressed. i want childhood back...

  • love this vershon!

  • This has got nothing on the White Stripes. And you should really put in your description that this was covered by Jack Johnson(who is a mediocre artist), not that it was simply BY Jack Johnson because that may give people the impression that he was the original artist, which he most certainly is not.

  • @Vendrof How is it up there on your soap box?

  • @Csimmons1267 I must admit, it is one heck of a comfy box.

  • @Vendrof What a hateful person... why don't you just enjoy the music and keep to yourself?

  • @zebraplop YES, I'M SO HATEFUL. BECAUSE I DECIDED TO HAVE AN OPINION ON MUSIC AND SHARE IT WITH PEOPLE. OH NOES! GASP! HE'S CONTRADICTING MY OWN VIEW AND THEREFORE HE MUST BE SUPER HATEFUL! BTW I'M TYPING IN ALL CAPS TO JUST TO EMPHASIZE HOW SILLY I THINK YOUR COMMENT IS AND TO ENHANCE THE SILLY SARCASM IM USING.

  • @Vendrof Yeah... kinda hateful...

  • I like this more than the White Stripes version!

  • this is nice but white stripes is better

  • This is a really great cover but i still like the White Stripes better. no offense

  • thiss was in napolean dynamite!!!

  • white stripes is way beeter

  • @lilpunk1396 shove it up your ass this song is just as good as the white stripes

  • what a nice song to be made in these times, most songs are about fucking bitches and stacking money, but this ones not

  • @animalman1122 Good point.

    

  • Comment removed

  • I much prefer the White Stripes version.

  • @animalman1122

    This song was not written by Jack Johnson. Original was by the White Stripes, and that version is so much the better.

  • @nodgie14 i know

  • @nodgie14 Hence 'cover' derp.

  • @nodgie14 Jack Johnson has his own take on this, and that's fine. I agree that the White Stripes' is better, but Jack brings something new to the table.

  • Comment removed

  • @nodgie14 hell yeah dude!

  • @nodgie14 thats why it says cover

    

  • @animalman1122 this was made by Jack White, and yes its a great song

  • @animalman1122 have you heard the original song? Jack here did a cover of the White Stripes

  • my baby jonah george was born at home to this song on the first of autumn 2007. so i will always love dis song. my video clips pretty cool too. ha ha.

  • great cover.

    but as much as i love this jack, i prefer the otherone

  • this version is better =)

  • his voice is much better for this song. i think jack white probably would like to be able to sing like this.
