Elliot Minor - Owl City "Fireflies" cover

[lilfreakcaff]

I wouldn't worry too much about Wabading: Every comment you see on his profile is about lowering someone else. What's that saying about you knock others to make yourself better? Yeah? because that's all they're doing. Yes their lives are that shallow. And I like it although Iam listening to it with earphones that make music sound like it's live instead of pre recorded...

[TheTamatation]

did adam young create 108 youtube accounts just to dislike this video ??

[147DEADSTAR]

better than the original! :D

[no1doctorwhofan4ever]

A dildo under my bed.. LOL XD

[DavidStyles07]

Not funny to joke about cancer :/ even if this song is amazing

[13VampiresRule]

Best version of Fireflies I have EVER heard.... like music to my ears LOL XD x

[DrBenwilliams]

@13VampiresRule It is music to your ears...

[KillerQueenL]

D - DILDO!? Yo what the fuck!?

[McChazzle1]

0:40 hahahaha

[Eleanorisland]

people who thumbs down the video must of fallen over when they were trying to hit the like button

[babakcheese]

The music (like the instruments) being played I think has a lot more to it than the original. I really like this. :D

[jlyEchelonMCRmy]

Better than the original in my opinion!

[blackghostcat]

OMG he is so cute! 0:46 and im straight lol that shows how cute he is :P

[GreenEyedWiseChild]

Much better than the original

[eitan606]

Pretty terrible. And the dildo comment kind of takes the whole magic out of the song.

[MrHuntForGame]

@eitan606 There's no magic in a song created on a computer.

[eitan606]

@MrHuntForGame The computer is just a tool to convey it. The magic is in the innocent lyrics and spirit of the song. Dildo comments sorta take it out of it.

[TheBIGMAC147]

@eitan606 does it matter that much though?

[eitan606]

@TheBIGMAC147 It's not just that, it's the whole tone of the song, they kinda missed the point. In a grand scheme of things to worry about it doesn't matter, no. |D

[tommychaos3]

@eitan606 Its terrible like your face.

[eitan606]

@tommychaos3 Brilliant.

[tommychaos3]

@eitan606 Thank you! :)

[Xanasutcliff]

[Wabading]

@Xanasutcliff you're a fucking if you think people who don't like this have 'musical cancer', this music song is absolute shit compared to the great's of music, get out of your teen-pop rock and expose yourself to good music.

[Blaze1101]

@Wabading Chill out, it's only a comment on a youtube vid :)

[PixieDisorder]

Loving how the alternative lyrics made the song a million times hotter.

[TheBrokenMinorr]

so much better than the original.

[chocolatecake742]

96 people don't imagine the world turns slowly...

[BeccaSpeck]

@chocolatecake742

Well, Chocolate Cake, although this song is witty and amusing, the Earth spins at up to about 1,038 miles per hour, or about 1670 kilometers per hour.

So I'd hope people don't imagine that too often. :P Habits tend to lead to beliefs.

[AmyCBTH]

brilliant cover, still way better than the original

[laurenluvshsm]

wow :o

[oldbonesmcgee]

I don;t think they're gay i think they're joking about the fact that the owl city guy is gay

[chocolatecake742]

@oldbonesmcgee i don't think he is gay... can't see anything saying he is?

[Becksters17]

@oldbonesmcgee Adam Young is not gay.

[cuteiswotweaim4]

[SupErMasSiVepancake]

[ThatFreakMillie]

A jockstrap around my head, a dildo under my bed.. ;)

[w8ncband]

Good cover, really enjoy it! You really gave the song your personal touch!! Go check our cover of this song and tell us your opinion.. Keep on!

[Sharingan6277]

@sdafun Oh I'm not getting defensive lol

[Sharingan6277]

@sdafun If you think new rap and new pop is good then you clearly been smokin' something. Tupac, Biggie > Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy.

ABBA, Blondie, MJ > most new pop.

[Sharingan6277]

@sdafun pfft well music is going down the pan. I'm not saying they're rubbish.

[Sharingan6277]

@sdafun Errr dickhead. Did I say these bands have no talent? Where do you fucking make your presumptions? In fact you're the ignorant one. Hmmmm yes, you're the ignorant one. Now fuck off, I'm off to listen to 90s grunge you fucking prick.

[Sharingan6277]

@sdafun Fucking hell blad. It's a fucking opinion u nob. I never said these bands are shit. I actually like Elliot Minor so why don't you STFU okay? I'm talking about how MTV and the music industry is sucking ass big time, not how bad any artists is. In fact, I said I like Elliot Minor's 1st album. Also I said "cover songs" are shit b/c nothing beats the original (in general). In fact I like this cover. Freedom of fucking speech. Oh and get your fucking facts straight and try again.

[technicallysam]

the user is elliot minorso dont say that the users gay because that would mean your gay

[BlackVeilShaz]

:| dildo under my bed.. shocked :L

[Sharingan6277]

As if Owl City is fucking music anyways. Owl City use bloody synth and auto tune. Same with LIGHTS. Synth rock is not rock at all. These guys are classically trained atleast. As if most rock is rock anyways. But these guys do have some shred of talent. Whoever cites Owl City, Taio Cruz, new pop, new rap as music are fuck tards. That's not real music. Adios.

[Sharingan6277]

Covers are not supposed to be played on the radio dumbasses. And the radio sucks ass anyways. I like their debut album and that is it. But just b/c something isn't played on the radio, doesn't make them shit. I've heard tonnes of bands that are not on the radio, and frankly would wipe the floor of the drivel played on the radios. MTV etc, ruins bands like they did with Paramore. MTV makes bands become sell outs.

[wilrules23]

did he really say that omg!!! hahahahahahaha

[DanielleJadeXxX]

Lmao lauren :')

[LaurenNorfolk]

1.29

'A dildo under my bed.'

Gay are we Elliot Minor?

[balliehead]

@LaurenNorfolk So glad I'm not the only one to notice that. XD Thought maybe it was just my dirty mind. =P

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

@balliehead Oh, but it is :)

[foxey112]

@balliehead nah i heard it too :L

[LivingProofOfAngels]

@balliehead Omg same! :L

[byelosellhigh]

@balliehead me too!!

[fysh04]

@LaurenNorfolk like we needed reminding...

[kirikoko]

@LaurenNorfolk

They know how to play the game... At night.

[byelosellhigh]

@LaurenNorfolk so glad im not the only one who caught that

[Kamakazi105]

@LaurenNorfolk it actuallyu said dildo? one of my mates tried 2 tell me they said dunebug =L

[porobotboyxxx]

Hahaha Jockstrap and Dildo!!!

[wowbringer]

This song... is very bad.

[wowbringer]

@ShikamariForever Are you for real? Wow, little lady knows NOTHING of the internet... I'm calling you a slut, becausei am free to do so, so HAR HAR. "srry" isn't a real word? Who gives a fuck it's a shortened version popularly used over the internet. But you tend to give a fuck it seems, because your just a PMS'ing asshole. Lastly... was I even trying to make a witty come back? No. So i ROFL at you maddam. Please sit down, and shut the fuck up you half-wit.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer Haha. Your comment made me LOL. harhar.

I don't give a damn what you say to me, so just keep firing those insults if you like. (:

& I'm not even gonna waste my time on dumbasses like you so have a nice day, you idiot. :D

[wowbringer]

@ShikamariForever mmkay bai bai cunt.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer love you too. ;]

[PhantomDarkElric]

@wowbringer How would you know who's a slut, you don't know anyone you talk to on the internet. That'd be like me calling you a runny chlorine diarrhoea instead of a human. It's like, wtf maaaaan.

[cezieebubzz]

this is a GRRREEEAATT song :)

[SirJamesLester]

I love Owl City - and I LOVE Elliot Minor

= AMAZING cover XD

[stebio17]

Awesome :L

[wowbringer]

Then how come more people know Owl City then Elliot Minor....? And you just contradicted yourself for This guy produces songs that only a fan would like... you said it yourself you stumbled across his song and liked them ever since. Isn't that how Ke$ia works? ... Justin Bieber? Durr...

[Rfa999]

so good!

[cristianne]

Lol a dildo :P

[MyChemicalKillJoy1]

These, This Band, These Guys. Elliot Minor. Are in fact musical genius' <3

[wowbringer]

This is a fucking disgrace to owlcity.

[RandomerV2]

@wowbringer Oh you got mixed up, you meant 'Owl City is a fucking disgrace'

[wowbringer]

@RandomerV2 Lol are you listening to the LYRICS to this piece of shit? There is a reason why Fireflies has 40million views and this one only 0.16million views AND is a cover of the song to begin with?

[RandomerV2]

@wowbringer Why watch it if your gonna just hate then. Owl City sold out, that's why there's 40million views. Elliot Minor didn't, making them as good as they are.

[wowbringer]

@RandomerV2 I watched because i found on Wiki that this guy made a cover and i wanted to watch. Sadly, it sucked.

[xRSMusicVids]

@wowbringer na don't think so.

[jellyguy96]

@wowbringer Owl City is known for only one song. And that's it.

[wowbringer]

@jellyguy96 .... And does it matter how many songs they are known for? I've heard fireflies and SEVERAL remixes and covers on the radio. Have i hear heard this guy? no.  Doesn't matter the recognition, it's the quality of the song and this one has no quality.

[jellyguy96]

@wowbringer Yes it does matter, otherwise it just means they are just a one hit wonder. They produce one amazingly catchy song and the rest of the album is just regular songs that no one except maybe a fan would like. And in any case this is only a cover, you should listen to their singles to judge the quality of their songs. I admire Eliot Minor when I stumbled across a 28 days later cover and liked them ever since.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer How the hell can you say that this cover has no quality? You must have one CRAP taste in music, my friend, to say that about Elliot Minor.

[wowbringer]

@ShikamariForever LOL did you listen to these shitty alteration of lyrics? I even went on facebook fanpages and asked Owl City vs Elliot Minor and 90% of them asked who the fuck is Elliot Minor. Ill say it again, this cover has NO quality. If it did, i would be hearing it on the radio.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer I don't give a shit what the fanpages say. Go listen to some of Elliot Minor's other stuff before you go judging them, kaaay? And just because it's not on the fucking radio doesn't mean it's shit or whatever because incase you hadn't noticed, not ALL songs are played on the radio.

[wowbringer]

@ShikamariForever lol i acutally DID go listen to a few songs. They sound like whining 14 year old boys... it's as if Justin Bieber has a part-time gig with those people. I know not all songs are played on the radio but aren't pop/acoustic/ rock songs played most commonly (RING RING ELLIOT's genre?) Lol if they were good, they would be playin'. Shit son, sit down.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer Well try to explain how Taio Cruz and Neyo and all those CRAP artists get played on the radio then? If you think people like them are 'good' in comparison to Elliot Minor you might need a hearing aid, mate. Oh, and don't call me 'son' either you dimwit I'm a fucking girl. So get to fuck. You don't like Elliot Minor, don't watch their videos.

[wowbringer]

@ShikamariForever I wouldn't be drawn back to these videos if bitches like you would kindly quit replying to me. "So get to fuck" srry that makes no sense try again slut.

[ShikamariForever]

@wowbringer Hah. I'll reply as long as you do, honey. ;D

And! You just FAILED at trying to make a witty come back. By saying 'try again' after having asked me beforehand to stop replying to you simply tells me to reply, you idiot. & I really do not see how any of this makes me a 'slut'. (:

Also, srry isn't a word. Go read a dictionary.

[Kousaburo]

@wowbringer You're a deaf moron.

[tommychaos3]

@wowbringer Your face is a disgrace to life.

[xsweetblondex1]

<3 Ahhh i llovee thisss x 

[TransparentxLies]

WAIT WTF. Why did I comment that.

I just mean they're fuuuugleh. ... ... *cough*

[TransparentxLies]

Dildo's burn my pure eyes !! XD

"A jock strap around my head" whatwhatwhat zhgjcd.

[JoaoRouxinolSongs]

A dildo under my bed? O:

[juggernaughtmiller]

way better then the owl city version <3

[upstato]

@painful121 how could i decide that i don't like it without watching it. no offence man)

[blondemindblower]

XD great. so great.

[Kiyoko4173]

lol!! it was so serious and like you know a good cover, and then random joke lyrics! You just gotta laugh.

[dinorawrterriisawrr]

badass song (y)

[thatsnazzycornguy]

Sorry, Adam Young does a better job. I mean a hell of a better job.

[Kerryxoann]

[uncharted2player41]

elliot minor r gr8

[miliz10]

elliot minor made the gay song amazing :)

[raphtheman]

@miliz10 i do like they're version, but its not THAT different from the original

[gibsondanny]

@raphtheman apart from the Sructure, Instrumentation, vocal style and what not

[LolitaElver]

genius!!!! now this is what we call gorgeous!!! yes justin beiner go fin some hole to live in!

[liamlightmx]

Looks like justin Bieber has 81 accounts on youtube..

[YellowIsTheHeadBand]

@liamlightmx noes... what has justin bieber got to do with this one?

[Hannargghh]

i ach think it says a dildo under my bed LMFAO

[cshepherd30]

Covers usually put a bands own personal stamp on it and I this doesnt sound any different from Owl City. Singing sounds the same, most of the music does as well expect a bit of guitar.

[Eminem6987]

@cshepherd30 Umm.. they even changed some of the lyrics? it doesnt sound alot like the original

[DarkAngelW0lf]

hate the origional, but LOVE this one! =D
