  • amazingly covered. i'd expect nothing else from brendon.

  • i like this bettah than the original...but maybe thats cuz i heard this one first...and i like bden's voice more...oh well

    and to haters, of course you can have your own opinion, but be more gracious about it (ex. not "WHAT FAGS! THEY THINK THEY CAN COVER RADIOHEAD! WHAT A SHITTY BAND!) because it just makes everyone think ur a asshole troller.

  • Don't like the voice.

    Original version 10000000000x better

  • This cover is even better than the original in my opinion :D

  • O.O ?

  • it is a good cover, but i disagree completely. he lacks the emotion

  • then your opinion is dead meat.

  • LOL 1:50 someone's crowd surfin.

  • Comment removed

  • I completely agree man..

  • Eh, he is no Thom Yorke. That's for sure.

  • great song. great cover. i heared this song on the radio today as well!

  • This song is stuck in my head.. love this cover :) gotta love P!ATD

  • spencers an awesome drummer! 1.13-2.30

  • RadioHead ROCKS!!!

  • Wow, I hate the original of this song, but their cover is really awesome :)

  • omg...everybody is entitled to their opinion but that statement is fundamentally wrong..thats worse than blasphemy

  • Ridiculous, isn't it? People are allowed to have opinions, but when do these 'opinions' go too far? That means you could say anything you want that is absurd (see our friend here) and get away with it.

  • Flat voice, oh how dreadful...

  • if he cant sing then what do you consider singing......because you can say you dont like the band or there style but he obviously can sing and there's no denying that

  • lol 1:51 in the crowd

  • Is a nice cover song! I give it 2 thumbs up :)

  • wow brendon has such a lovable voice man|!!

  • this song is the best version of the panic than the band that I talk radiohead nice guy who seems ta dying XD

    BRASIL PORRA

  • I like panic of the disco,I liked the cover, but I didn't like the "WHEN YOU FUCK WITH THE"

    Its a great cover,I but that was so unneeded, really

    5 stars!

  • The thing is, it's in the original song...But due to Thom Yorke's vocal style/tone it doesn't pop out as much as the exhuberance of this cover...

  • My friends and I only listen to this version. Once we found out our favorite band was singing out favorite song, well i think my life is complete.

  • 2bad they splited but brendons voice is so amazing

  • Brendon is lovelyyyy <3

  • Brendon singing and playing the piano on this song is absolutely wonderful. =)

  • Stop arguing. They're both really good bands.

    PS: did PATD add that part towards the end where Ryan (the guitarist) sings "Well, I'm afraid that I!" ... I don't remember that in Radiohead's version

  • I think they combined it with one of their songs. But It's Better If You Do?

  • no. i know it sounds like it, but those lyrics are in the original song. they do have similar lyrics though.

  • yes... radiohead´s guitarist sings and does the echo aswell! its pretty cool, check out karma police glastonbury 2003, its in my faves

  • WAHH! Mah 2 favorite things being put together!! YEAH! Panic! at the disco and Radiohead XD

  • You guys know if you win, you still lose right? lol.

    Everyone defending RH are being just close minded as those who like the Panic version better. Why? Because music is about personal preference. Its stupid to try and change people's taste in music.

    It doesn't matter to me who's bigger, sung longer, works harder or wrote it. All those things make me respect RH, their talent and fans, but at the end of the day, I don't like the way they sing it, which is why this version is on my ipod.

    THE END.

  • Yes!!

    THANK YOU:]]

    Couldn't of summed it up better. (:

  • My eyes are bleeding from reading your annoying whining. If you don't like it: simply get the f*** out. :D Nobody really wants to read it.

  • hahaha beside listening to brendon sing, i just love hearing him speak. his voice is just amazing to listen to whether hes singing or not, its very attractive, and i didnt think a voice could b. =]

  • I think panic's version of this song is way better than Radiohead's.

    :O

    <3

  • Thom seriously has applied more effort to his music... search his biography. He has been playing and composing since he was like 7 or 8

  • oh my God...

    Thom Yorke is RadioHead´s vocalist

  • everyone shut up music is about personal preference stop judging

  • Panic! at the Disco is my fav band but Radiohead is one of my favourites, and i love Karma Police by Radiohead, but Panic! cover this song very good, i like whit the xilophone and cello.

    Radiohead fans: u should be more openmind!

    and Panic! fans: Stop saying stupid thing like "This vercion is better, radiohead is slow" if Panic! covered this sons is beacause they admire Radiohead.

  • how long you play isnt a record of how good you are its what you did in the time you were playing

  • this is my favorite version of this cover by panic! at the disco<33333333333333333

  • Fucking BADDDDD !! panic at the peformance xD!!! <3 rdhd rlz

  • jesus christ... open your eyes people (panic fans) you cant compare panic at the disco to something as big as RadioHead...

    God damn.

    This is the exact same reason music is dying. RADIOHEAD FTW

  • I think panic is 100000x better than radio head

  • well, nope... you cant say panic is better because they are different genres of music...

    Panis is what? Pop rock?

    and RadioHead is Alternative, therefore you cannot compare them, think alittle...

    Panic has made cover, Radiohead has not... and Radiohead´s lyrics are more meaningful and attracts more audience.

    Watch Karma police live in Glastonbury 2003

    and you´ll see what I mean

  • Panic! has extremely meaningful lyrics (in AFYCSO, at least.) Many songs talk about the way the tradgedies of the way the works, the way some must abandon completely even the deepest of morals in order to survive. Some were also strongly based/influenced on literature.

    Okay, I'm done with my rant or whatever :)

  • its a fuckin shame what is happening to music bands like this shit that have no emotion juse blind followers cause the singer is "hot" and the music is generic radiohead is the best music in the world

  • I agree... and its 100% percent true... RadioHead has emotion and power in its lyrics and performance... this is just a cover.

    And yes, its true, RadioHead is one of the TOP bands in the world

  • I actually agree with you about a lot of bands being generic. But I definently don't think this is one of them. They're not blind followers, apparently you haven't listened to anything other this cover, so of course to you they seem like followers.

  • thats your opinion, dont force it on other ppl... And the lead singer in PATD have a uniqe voice aswell , and they have done great music... Coming to music no one is right and no one is wrong , thats the beauty of it.

  • Wow, haha have you even heard another Panic! song other than this? I think not, because none of the things you've said above reflect PATD at all. I mean, really, I fell in love with Panic! before I even laid eyes on any of their faces. These guys were the ones that actually got me into music. They introduced me not only to their awesome music, but also to one of my favorite authors and an awesome genre. So, please, don't ignorantly disrespect.

    Thanks

  • Ummmmmmm....have you heard Camisado. That song is the only way I'll be able to.....to do the things that are best for me, and it's something Ryan can relate to, so, yes, at least Camisado is about abandoning morals...because I myself have abandonment issues, so I don't even know how my dad will be able to cope, for the year he must, at least

  • Not only that but Build God then We'll Talk and Time to Dance, just to name a few off the top of my head...But the rest of what your comment is saying....could you rephrase it please?

  • Another thing I must say is that I think Panic At The Disco sang this better then Radio Head but that my opinion I am not be offensive or anything and saying that Radio Head sucks they actually rock but they didn't sing this song good and Brendon (like always) sang it amazing that is also the main reason why I love him so much also that he is so dam hot <3

  • this is not about who sings the song better... seriously...

    If you think Panis sings this better than RadioHead, your wrong... your missing something important.. Thom sings this but he has a way of singing it, he applies emotion and heart to every live performance of this song. This is tecnically not the same, why? because its called a cover for a reason.

    Im not saying they can´t cover it, Im saying that you cannot judge someone´s live performance because of the singing style etc...

  • Also, I never said you thought RadioHead sucked... but it´s a fact, RadioHead can perform this better (since they are the ones that wrote it)

    Thom Yorke plays around on stage because he understands that people actually support him and like his music.

    RadioHead can perform this better... conclusion!

    I don t hate panic, thats all I will say.

  • true! so true men!

    RadioHead can do a better performance since Thom actually puts heart on the lyrics and lives.

    NO COMPARING PANIC FANS. Its pretty much clear who can perform this better...

  • I love that this band would sing anyones song like this song is from Radio Head and they thats not there's and they don't care they always do that they sing some else's song that is one of the main reasons I love this band and that Brendon Urie are George Ryan Ross are so dam sexy!!

  • he so hot. ;D

  • I fricken love Brendons voice! (:

  • man... he is sweating like a pedophile at a playground.

  • hahahaha nice phrasing on that one! -high five-

  • love this song! especialy the last 2mins.

  • I find it quite ironic that the sort of music or rather "music" that this band produces is the sort of stuff that Thom Yorke quotes as "buzzes like a fridge" or "fridge-buzz" and yet this band is performing a cover of karma police. You radiohead fans will no what i mean.

  • Yep. I know exactly what you mean. It really is ironic xD

  • hahahaha yes it is hilarious to us ppl with brains(radiohead fans)

  • How can you possibly say there is no emotion there?

    It isn't quite the same vibe as the original recording, but isn't that what covering a song is all about? To make it your own?

  • I actually like this version better than the one with Radiohead.

  • The singer just doesn't feel the song at all, it might as well be a robot singing.

  • 1- "the singer" would be BRENDON FREAKING URIE!

    2- what do you mean there's no feeling? really explain cuz i bet a bunch of people would totally and completely DISAGREE with that.

  • i really think that panic sings it better that radiohead

  • dude i just realized that they stole some lines from this for but its better if you do! or maybe they just added it 4 the cover....but watevs. ryan was singing 'well i'm afraid that i...' and that's from but its better if u do...i ♥ panic, tho, and idc if they stole some lines. ☺

  • they wrote the songs, it's not stealing in that case.

  • if you've ever listened to the actual karma police song the "well i'm afraid that I" isnt in it. so they didnt steal it.

  • hahaha now i feel slow. lol thnx 4 telling me that, peoples. :)

  • that feel retarded i thought for a long time

    we probaly arent the only ones ether

  • lol yay! :)

  • ok cover.

  • I think this song is better from Panic At The Disco then from RADIOHEAD

  • there is many Radihead's fans who dont like this cover!!

    just for only reason : this cover is better than the original song :))

  • I love Ryan Ross' part!

  • I totally prefer this version over the original. I think these guys did terrific. I love Panic. x3

  • mmmmmmmmmkay you'ree superr queer. just sayin :) i think brendons voice sounds great in this cover and theres nothing wrong with the band's playing.

  • oops i meant to hit the thumbs down button because if u h8 it u have no business listening to it.

  • Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice! The vocals are grating and out of sync, there is absolutely no soul or emotion behind it. It is perfectly suited for those with no musical appreciation! You guys can like whatever you want and because YouTube is open content, I actually have just as much business listening to it as you do, darling.

  • All that I meant is that I was wondering why you even cared enough to comment on something that you didn't like! And sorry if I somehow insulted you, or if I insult you by saying that if you can't realize that the way this band sounds is actually good, then I don't think that you should be watching their videos. I'm not trying to be rude, or to start a fight. And please don't call me "darling". You don't even know me.

  • Thom Yorke sounds like he swallowed razorblades.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Radiohead, but I much prefer Brendon's voice.

  • Off course It's not better than the original, but I like it :)

  • I LIKE THIS VERSION WAY BETTER!

  • but then the karma police would get em

  • BAHAHAHAA snap xD

  • u now wat sucks, i luv dis song n i got a iod n itunes dont got it only by raido head and he sucks

  • again... why would you waste your time listening to a a cover by an emotional, appealing-only-to-teenage-girl s, pretentious and untalented band which has gone from miserable (quality-wise) emo-music to becoming a failed Beatles rip-off band. go away.

  • heymoon dont fight it....i think it's a troll....panic for the win

  • haha. ok, im done.

  • Because he was a fan of the original. Naturally, when you like a song, you look to other bands take on it. When the other band does an awful job, there is this thing below the video which lets you post your opinion about it. When you find yourself upset about how bad it is, you put text in a box saying so. By posting the text to the site, other people can see your opinion of the video/song. People can react to it however they see fit. Welcome to YouTube!!

  • I'm pretty sure PATD decided to do a cover because they respect radiohead and appreciate what they've created; I doubt they tried to steal their sound or thought they could do it better. I think it's funny how a lot of people are outraged at their cover.

    But yes, radiohead will ALWAYS be best :)

  • I appreciate what you are saying and you make sense. But it feels rushed and amateur. The Radiohead version is creepy and emotional, with Thom Y. taking you to a really dark place. This version strips all that away and just sounds like a lot of drivel. If this is there interpretation or dedication, than they completely missed what the song was about.

  • Comment removed

  • THIS MOTHAFU*** KILLED THE SOUND!

  • god, i love brenny's voice <3<3

  • I'm a huge radiohead fan and i don't think they ruined the song. It's a cover and they played it their way, it's not too bad.

  • They can play whatever song they want.

    It's a cover and their own take on it, it doesn't have to be exactly the same.

    Why would you come to a video just to bash the band?

    Pathetic.

  • Now, I really dislike this cover, but it's not like they aren't allowed to do a cover of it.

    Still, I personally think that they butchered an amazing song, but whatever.

  • omfg I want to go to one of their concers so damn badly :|

  • As a huge Radiohead fan, I can honestly say that I enjoy the take Panic had on Karma Police. I enjoy both versions, and it's hardly like they ruined the song. There are plenty of other bands that have ruined covers, and I think with the honest talent the band has, I don't see the problem with this cover.

  • Ok what do u mean by vibrato?

  • it's a musical term, it's basically vibrations in a note. it kinda sounds like wowowowowowowo

  • brendon urie has an absolutely amazing voice!

  • most amazing vid ever!!!! luv bdens voice!

  • RYANS VOICE (:

  • ahh!! amazing!!

  • does anyone have the download link? if so please send to my inbox!

  • wow not a bad cover, wonder how thom yorke would feel abou this

  • how would thom yorke feel if random people on youtube cover it?

    a cover's a cover, doesn't matter who plays it

  • thom would stick out his upper lip a little bit more than normal, tilt his head, and blink a lot.

  • when ryan sings, yummy

    i keep listening to it

    definately better than the original..

  • whoa no way, I like it but Radiohead's version is so much better, besides this version has WAY too much vibratto

  • really?

    possibly, but this version is still really good.

  • That's cuz Brendon's voice has natural vibratto(:

  • what's vibratto??

  • From Msn encarta:

    vi·bra·to [ vi brtō ] (plural vi·bra·tos)

    noun

    Definition:

    1. throbbing effect in musical instrument: a throbbing effect in the playing of a stringed or wind instrument, made by rapidly varying the pitch

    2. throbbing effect in singing: a throbbing effect in singing, produced by rapidly varying the breath pressure or the pitch

    [Mid-19th century. < Italian, "vibrated"]

  • that doesn't make any sense, the only person who could have natural vibrato would have a vocal chord disorder. he does it purposefully like anyone who sings with vibrato. he just uses more.

  • Well, you know what I meant... he always uses vibrato.. heh.

  • im a soprano but truely brendons voice is the most amazing voice ive ever heard ever in my whole entire life! he is a vibratto.

  • you don't know what you're talking about. he is a vibratto? that's not even a voice type. VIBRATO is a technique.

  • you're fucking stupid

  • uh no im not!

  • he sings it betr thn the orignal song

  • i love this song i cant stop listening to it!!!

    <33 Ryan And Brendon!!!

  • Nope. Brendon sings it better. xP

  • so true <3 <3 <3

  • so true

  • Dang, Brendon sings it better than Radiohead does...LOL. Brendon's an ahmazing singer. (:

  • god brendon's voice is AMAZING!!!

    and hes gorgeous too!

    xD

  • Nope. Panic PWNS Radiohead by farrrr.

    When I heard Thom Yorke, or whoever sing it... I was like, "Really?? Wow...... ://" Sorry. You have your opinion and I have mine... {and obviously, mine's better.. ahaha.. c;} Have a nice day... NOT. ((:

  • "panic pwns radiohead by far"

    lol you sir a re a pathetic pile of trash...

    RadioHead has been playing for a lot longer! seriously man, your on YouTube, do some research instead of making shit up... Thom applies heart... God, you take things to seriously, I honestly prefer radiohead and I understand you post your opinion, but you should respect other opinions as well...

    ALSO Thom has the same speed as this version.... watch the glastonbury 2003 version.

  • I 10000000x prefear panic...their song are better , maybe this is not better because it's RH who made it so they're better in THIS song but I prefear Panic tthat's all

  • go watching Time to dance , this song is fantastic

  • Yeahhh.. I'm not a sir. :/ You can't say I'm a pile of trash because I like Panic more than RH. I just don't really care for RH, that's all..

    And, do you really think I care how long RH has been playing..? When did I make shit up? All the things that I said were MY opinion. I'm sorry that you disagree with my opinion. But to me, honestly, Panic is better than RH. And you think I take things too seriously?? Have a look at yourself. :s ALSO I never said anything about the speed of the damn song.

  • explain why panic is better than RadioHead -_-

  • It's just my opinion. Okay?

    They're better to ME, because, well.. Brendon is a better singer( to ME, remember.). Anddd I have just liked them longer.. well I don't really like RH, but yeahh. I just like Panic more. :]

  • I already do respect your opinion, and I understand if you like Panic more...

    I would reccomend something.

    Look at Thom Yorke´s story in wikipedia, I checked it out yesterday, and its eally worth reading

  • thats just my opinion, but as there are opinions there are facts...

    look it up

  • I don't care about fucking Thom! Okay!?

    I really don't care how long he's been playing or any of that shit! Alright?

    I just think Panic! is much better because I have loved them for so long. PLEASE understand that I don't hate Radiohead. I just don't really care for their music. I don't listen to RH. And I never will... I just don't like Thom's voice.. it bothers me. :/ Sorry. Mygawd.

  • Dude what the hell is wrong with you??

    I was only trying to help, you dont have to get all paranoid.

    If you dont care about RH then dont disrepect them... I havent said a fucking bad thic about Panic, so therefore you have no right in saying "fucking Thom" when I never said anything against this band.

    I already told you I give a flying shit if you like radiohead or not, I just recommended reading Thom´s biography. God

  • Nothing is wrong with me.

    I didn't disrespect RH. All I said is I don't like them.. they're just.. ehh, idk. I just don't like Thom's voice.. :s So, sorry that you overreacted.

    (:

  • wow lol...

    Im not the one that overrreacted

    have agood day :)

  • People sure do lol at the wrong times. . . .

  • if you did not see the whole discussion or argument, dont talk lies

  • im a big radiohead fan but dude they really gave this song justice. far better than thoms version. though thoms version was supposed to be slow
