Tally Hall - Just a Friend

[DoominglyRapids]

Everybody is required to do some boogie.

[bdeez1914]

People People People PLEASE... the magic of the song is it's sheer lack of musicality-Biz murdered some hits like none before. This group goes and makes it sound all musical, singing on key, melodically arrangements of the music-oh, the HORROR ;o)

[TheSpiderHand]

XD

[MultiInternets]

I enjoyed this



[Gearsdisraeli]

@StuporVlog You trolling? Listen to Biz Markie, dude.

[wildberrynat]

which guy sings the chorus?

[benwaight]

"What you want from me, I'll give you anything. You want any kind of subscription to a magazine? I'll give you a potato? A mask of some sort? I love you."

Most romantic lines in the history of the universe.

[ChopShop1200]

I'm guesing you are all 18 yo. and don;t have a clue this was done by biz markie way back in the 80's?

[ChopShop1200]

@ChopShop1200

[ParadoxTetris]

@ChopShop1200

Thats about how old I am and I heard the original first. This version is good as well.

[chrispagas]

[kelsey40rae]

Six people are the "friend" of this girl.

[DeathMetalFlamingo]

First, i lol'd. Then i enjoy'd.

[mqtmark]

Cool track !!

[inventowiz]

Can someone upload a higher quality version of the song in mp3? I've been looking online for hours now, and the youtube rip sounds awful. PLEASEEEE. I've followed Tally Hall since they began after high school, and this is one of my favorites.

[iSamOsauR]

[weesnaw45]

[DaFunzies]

Why aren't they famous as hell!!!!!

[irishpanda2000]

@DaFunzies It takes time for people to notice real talent.

[smailliWyentihW]

I need this song.

[floridakees]

I am very high at the moment and do not know much of what is going on, but I do know that rap and metal are forms of music and require much talent, and this cover by tally hall is amazing and for I had to even that it wanted my in it for the whole song at least eleven hundred times.

[bodaidan]

these guys comments are long. mines not

[MajorRagtime]

I like this song.

[BooUcMe]

Its STORY TIME :)

[tinkdaddy607]

4 people hate having fun.

[Dr0Truth]

It's great to listen to bands that you know are having fun.

[Nightlord2236]

@MajorRagtime It's okay. about 93% of the population has no ear for talent. You're not alone! you can go back listening to your "soulja boy".

[ISuperSerial]

@MajorRagtime Hahaha, sir you are a joke. If you're going to make such a strong statement about a song at least stand by it.

[CheneyTheDevil]

@ISuperSerial wtf he just said he likes it?

[chromedgrim]

@Nightlord2236 - You are right. But you know what? I like it that way. If everyone sees the great things we see, it wont be the same special things for us.

[jmcieslak0]

@Nightlord2236

[lotussouljah]

[MrKjbennet]

This song has 26,753 views. More than half of those have to be from me...

[missdeethebadest]

[Cobainfreak18]

[DomaSolarZ]

Fucking. Incredible.

[Dasprite222]

Where do I find the mp3 for this???

[Thelaofkazi]

@Dasprite222

I looked around and couldn't find anywhere. Just use a youtube to .mp3 converter, some good ones are the first ones that come up on Google.

[Dasprite222]

YES! I LOVE this!

[TimmysCodfish]

tally hall has like no haters

[Fenizrael]

I love the intro to this, especially the backing vocals slash record scratching.

0:18

[troggy]

I actually dont really like the original, but this one is awesome!

[dcdancer1996]

@troggy I totally agree!

[AiRwacK2095]

...no matter what song is what...the original song is always ganna get credit for it, the original is better and will always be better

[TowelDynasty]

@AiRwacK2095 Actually...

the cover by Red Hot Chili Peppers of Higher Ground which was made originally by Stevie Wonder got a lot more famous then the original and a lot of people consider it better.

I also like this cover more then the original.

Just an example.

[Ihatehorses12]

Umich represent

[mollyselz]

ive gotten free t shirts and autographs and stuff like that. and they are really nice in person yellow ties my favorite

[mollyselz]

you know my uncle books this band and I've met them a thousand times, They're so good!

[codylinleyishawtt]

this song is just so awesome.

[DistillProductions]

agreed the best version even better than the original.

[TatersChoice]

Could someone tell me where this came from? I'm honestly a little confused because it's clearly a recorded mp3 but I dont know of where this came. Was it an older song?

[iWant2Flii]

@TatersChoice its a cover of Biz Markie's song just a friend, which i like better than this version

[treyarat]

love this song x

[fizzfizz28]

MICHIGANDERS REPRESENTTTTTTT

[MrSlikdik]

Untalented white boys ruining a classic rap.

[dmoogle2006]

Are you kidding? This is the only way I'd listen to rap.

You know. When it sounds like music.

[cloxwork]

@dmoogle2006  actually there is no difference between this song and the other, it uses the same instrumentals, the only difference is that white guys are rappin it. still sounds like music to me

[4liferider]

@dmoogle2006 smd. rap mite not be music in ur eyes, but its no doubt poetry

[Dasprite222]

@dmoogle2006 He's right...same rap, different rappers. Real rap is no less musical than heavy metal.

[dmoogle2006]

@Dasprite222 Obviously you are tone deaf, my good sir and/or madam. For that I envy you because I cannot sit through the chorus of the original. Have a fine day, and may your life be blessed with a plethora of vaginas and/or penises, whichever you are into.

[Dasprite222]

@dmoogle2006 Oh, no ya don't...can't throw me under the bus like that! You know the only reason any of us responded to you was because you were talking about rap in GENERAL, not this particular one. We ALL know Biz Markie's version sucked on ice, most likely because he tried to SING instead of rap!

And thanks for the genital wishes...that's definitely a first! Most folks just send a thank you card or a gift basket. ;-)

[ubercream]

@Dasprite222 But at least we can all agree that both rap and heavy metal are less musical than most other music.

[ArmusIctus]

@ubercream I'm sorry, what? What does "less musical" even mean? Music is music, man. Don't be pretentious. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it any less music.

[ubercream]

@ArmusIctus Because they require less effort and skill, ya silly.

[ArmusIctus]

@ubercream Incredibly incorrect. Not anybody can just pick up a microphone and rap. And metal? Less effort and skill? The fuck have you been smoking? Try listening to Between the Buried and Me. I can't remember the name of the song off the top of my head, but it has changes from 4/4 time to 9/8 and 5/4, back to 4/4 again. A lot of effort goes into creating music, regardless of the genre. Just because certain artists don't put a lot of effort into it doesn't mean the genre is easy.

[ubercream]

@ArmusIctus Lots of tempo changes make it seem like they must just be fuckin' around, strumming randomly and angrilly screaming in an annoying fashion. Also, do I even have to elaborate when describing today's rap? All you gotta do is write down vague lyrics about sex, drugs, and the ghetto lifestyle, and then rap them to a beat, while not needing to play an instrument most of the time.

[ArmusIctus]

@ubercream LOL. You really don't know music, do you? 4/4 time as compared to 5/4 isn't a tempo change, it's a time signature change. It's a change in the entire structure of the music. It takes knowledge of musical theory to do effectively and an incredible drummer to produce. If you'd even listen to the music, it doesn't matter if you like it, you'd have to admit that it takes a great deal of talent. As for rap, who cares what "most" rap is about? Listen to Atmosphere. His shit is crazy.

[ArmusIctus]

@ubercream The fucker is talented. It takes rhythm and wit to be a rapper. Not necessarily in the case of certain famous ones, sure. But you can't say any given genre is "more music" than any other. It's all music, regardless of if you like it or not.

[ubercream]

@ArmusIctus Woah, woah, woah, man. Tally Hall (and Joe Hawley) is incredibly talented, even with rap. So is Biz Marquee. I'm just saying that ninety nine percent of all other rap is hardly music. Strongest example: "Teach me how to Dougie" is hardly a song, by the definition of what a song is.

[ArmusIctus]

@ubercream Don't try to back off now. You were saying that heavy metal and rap were lesser forms of music because they took less talent, which were both incorrect and presumptuous claims. And by the way, the definition of a song (yes, I looked it up) is "a short musical composition with words", according to Princeton. So, there you go.

[ubercream]

@ArmusIctus Ah, please excuse my digression. Anyway, as you said, a song is defined as short musical composition. Teach me how to Dougie is quite clearly less musical, as the only rhythm is just the same three or four beats over and over, and occassionally, some sounds. Not to mention how the singing/rapping is just talking. This is one example of a song made by an "artist" with little/no talent. As much as I hate to say it, this is closer to the norm for rap, more than it is for other genres.

[TheWCKiller]

@ArmusIctus I'm on your side, mostly because you are much more intellegent than him.

[lexislulu]

@MrSlikdik i was about to diagree with you but when i listen to it the 2nd time i wanted to kill myself

[SketchyPeenut]

This is my favorite band. i have one of there CD's  this is the only cover that i actually like better then the origingal

[W0RLDFAM0UZ]

a million and one times better live!!

[salyssawaits]

[luvsmovies79]

HEY they actually sing!

[boscoreli55david]

this song sounds better live than in this version. one of my favorites live actually

[monkeyjoe123]

[RickySuave]

Get a youtube mp3 grabber. I like dvdvideosoft studio manager

[soymustache]

I had a friend who like... idk stripped the song from youtube and put it into an mp3 version. Otherwise, I couldn't find this song anywhere online.

[alguitar11]

[TowelDynasty]

[ginonater]

@monkeyjoe123 Just google "youtube downloader" :/

[Bnard8388]

Hell yeah Tally Hall Rocks!!!!!!!!

[dukedoll]

omg thats great lol. ok nothing beats the original but this is a very very close second. i love biz's "o baby uuuu" part the best but their voice is great too.

[dethtrak1]

yo i cant find this anywhere. mp3 link please?

[mod3rn3pic]

as much as i love tally hall the biz markie version is better

[DaxStarblaster]

Seriously, where can someone get a hold of this particular version? This is the studio version and I keep searching the internet trying to find it. It says that you had to get some code at live shows to download it, but there are no alternatives. I can rip a 64bitrate version from this video (thank you) but it would be nice to get a good quality version.

Really love this band. This is a great cover, but all of their other songs are amazingly better. Very under appreciated musicians.

[HITSdotcom]

Follow hiddeninthesand on Twitter. I have official download codes (good for 3 songs, including this song) I give out for nothing or sometimes for playing some Tally Hall trivia.

[DaxStarblaster]

@HITSdotcom Thank you so much for letting me know, I'll be sure to do so.

[soymustache]

Does anyone know where I can download this song? I love it!!

[mrsircaptainahab]

This version isn't bad, but the original Biz Markie one is better.

[TheTallBeverage]

it starts off a bit weird to me, but i start to love it at about 1:00

[missjo5ie]

I meant at 4:25 when I'm pretty sure they were making FUN of people like the Jonas Brothers. I would never bring a band like Tally Hall to the low level of debauchery that is the Jonas Brothers.

[diksonkwan]

where do u get the mp3?

[HITSdotcom]

Follow hiddeninthesand on twitter for the mp3

[laumeister]

Where exactly is it on their twitter? I followed them and everything, but I cant find the update that has the download link.

[HITSdotcom]

It's given out to winners of trivia questions asked a few times a week.

[HITSdotcom]

Ah sorry. You just have to ask :)

[LeBronizzle]

Biz Markie is better

[Schlepp420]

original is always the best, but these guys' version is pretty good

[eraseragenda]

this cover is epic.

...and I never say that about anything

[Cumpunch]

[TaraKaylor]

[ghoul6667]
