  • me gusta xD

  • Lyrics are wrong, fuck you.

  • RHCP should do a cover of this song

  • rise against did a way better job on this cover, yet isnt credited on the weeds wiki page! WTF!

  • @brokenhands02 But they are credited. Nevertheless it doesn't matter because the song has been covered so many times...

  • Linkin Park started off cool back in the day. Lost its edge somewhere...

  • @Frozanics When they started working wit michael bay i think they lost their steam

  • This is the worst cover ive ever heard. Grow some pubes

  • Haha so i like this version more^^ chester is singing so..hahaha its just funny xD

    @theoryoflinkin the lyrics aren't correct.

  • Honestly, i love both bands, but slow music just fits the song better. I liked the first half of Rise Against's cover, but the faster beat ruined the true meaning... not every song was made to have a fast tempo.

  • o cover do rise against eh BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEM melhor xD

  • There is no such thing as a "GOOD" version of this song because the song itself is a piece of artistic TRASH!! From the lyrics to the melody. I believe Malvina wrote it to be a children's song; I had to (and I mean was MADE TO) sing this when I was in 2nd grade in '64. HEY MALVINA!!! I DIDN'T GET IT AS A KID, DON'T CARE ABOUT IT NOW!!! I am haunted by the experience of having to sing this in front of my school at age 6. No applause afterward, and I sang it well. HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @jsmyers24151 The song isn't for kids. It's a rebellion song against suburbia. No kid could really get that.

  • This is the only version that sucks

  • Chester does a good job but the lame 1980's Yamaha learning keyboard snare sound effects bring it down.

  • Rise Against = Best :D

  • (: this made my day

  • i love LP with my entire heart.... but, sorry, rise against did it better

  • @KotteKun Rise against version is garbage along with this one. Regina Spektor is by far the only good cover i have heard.

  • The original by Malvina Reynolds did better than the Decemberists and Linkin Park..

  • i like LP, but Rise against did an epic cover of it that blows this away( that of couse is my  opinion)

  • Weeds has created like 20 covers of this song, and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all sound just the same. Then people take these covers which are played by different bands but are still all clearly the same tired song, and they argue about which one is best, and buy covers of a song that has already been done a dozen or so times, not even realizing the intense irony of the situation. Listen to the lyrics again and take another look around the inside of your metaphoric box.

  • @rottmist tried to sing along with your comment. don't work... :(

  • @rottmist exactly, thank God someone else understands this. 

  • @rottmist It's all opinionated and this song has nothing to do with liking a different version of a song. Arguing via internet has nothing to do with living in suburbia and wanting to live a monotonous middle-class life. The situation isn't ironic even in the slightest.

    They are not all the same.

  • fuck linkin park, rise against did it way fuckin bettter.... you would have to be a mental retard to like this. did the singer get his balls chopped off?

  • @cephalopodevideos this song is 10x better, rise against just has a cool metal dropp ooooooohhh bitcchface pussy nigger

  • @pegg00 first, rise against isn't metal, if you cant tell the difference between metal and rock, you should actually get yourself checked out. suck my dick you fat anime nigger who jacks off to anime porn

  • @cephalopodevideos hey! some anime porn is hot!!

  • no offense to anyone... i like linking park, they're pretty good but IMO rise against's version is faaaarr better

  • the experimental phase is over he only has one voice and that's pussy voice, no experimental

  • they had to go to soft music because Chester fucked his voice up screaming after Hybrid Theory, and yes they suck and so does this cover, and ruined this song by singing it like a baby, not only that he didn't even do the whole song.

  • Rise against did a better cover

  • Decemberists, lol, what about the original?

  • kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk o chester bennington ta parecendo um drogado nessa musica :-D

  • fuck linkin park. it's for bitch ass 9 year olds. he sounds like a pussy.

  • @KwBeee Go listen to Blackout and say that again. GTFO. LP4L!

  • @Chestnut808drum

    i have.. and it just sounds like he's straining his throat. he honestly cannot sing anymore. have you listened to the lyrics..? pretty much the most generic bullshit i have ever heard. linkin park is no longer what they were to me when i was a kid.

  • @Chestnut808drum I just listened to blackout and... HOLY SHIT IT IS SO FUCKING AWFUL! it is actually the exact equivalent to a emo fag taking a dump.

  • Thumbs up for "Weeds" :D

  • And I may not get popular for this, but the best version of this song is made by Death Cab for Cutie!

  • BLASPHEMY.

    

  • I luv this cover it's so cute it puts me to sleep

  • This is so dinky. Rise Against are the only ones who can make this song not suck.

  • @averyhuotari Thats the spirit!!! :) 

  • Rise Against did a better cover of this

  • @23superNinja fuck this shit RISE AGAINST FTW

  • @23superNinja No, they did not. Little Boxes it a billion times better by the original artist. It's a soft song, no screaming.

  • @MsAlleysBeauty

    That's the beauty of the Rise Against cover. Any good band knows that if you do a parody of a song, you do it in -your- style, not -their- style. The artist that made the song already perfected it in their style.

    However Rise Against' version starts out soft then starts to ramp up as it gets more serious. The way they do it is pleasing in my ears and it's the style that they play.

  • @23superNinja Thats because Linkin sucks

  • @23superNinja

    Rise Against are FAGITS!

  • @matanMo1

    And apparently you LP fans don't know how to spell basic words...

  • @OpIvyDude actualy i hate LP dumbass

    RHCP FOREVER

  • @matanMo1 learn to spell right FAGGOT

  • @23superNinja

    Yep, way better, and I can tell I'm a "former" LP fan... :p

  • why does linkin park cover every damn good song i like. it's not that i don't like it though

  • rise against is the best

  • @1cruefan4life

    True. Compared to this, Rise Against pwns them.

  • Fix dislike bar pls.

  • Ha. I'm old enough to remember the original, Malvina Reynolds (writer and original vocalist 1962). I was searching for her version when I came upon this one and I like it!

  • Rise Against did thousand times better

  • @DeadGoldBass Lol at all the kids saying Rise Against is a better band then Linkin Park. They obviously know nothing about music. Rise Against does the same generic shit on every album, I mean, just listen to RA's cover of Little Boxes. There's nothing unique about it at all. Overall, RA is generic as hell. LP>RA.

  • @yankeeboy1927 And now you're sayin "They obviously know nothing aobut music'' ? ha, that must be YOU.

    Because if you listen to Rise Against you will hear something very unique in everysing.

    Linkin Park only did like 10 good songs...

  • @DeadGoldBass Lol you fail. Are you really that musically inept? Every freaking song RA does now sounds exactly the same.

  • @yankeeboy1927

    I dont agree with that. But I dont agree with DeadGoldBass either.

    Can we just sit back and enjoy their music?

    Linkin Park is more commercial in my eyes,and Rise Against sing about what they stand up for.

    But I love the way Linkin Park sounds, like the music put all together.

    And I love Rise Against's voice. Its damn awesome.

    So stfu and enjoy either Linkin Park or Rise Against. You can't compare them.

    And I dont think they will like it if you do.

  • @ChibiSugar Linkin Park also makes songs about what they stand for. You obliviously haven't heard No More Sorrow, Wretches and Kings, The Catalyst, or Hands Held High. And lol at Linkin Park being more commercial than RA. Linkin Park is probably the most experimental bands out there.

  • @yankeeboy1927

    Sure, I just couldnt see that because all the fame they've got. And in my opinion, fame makes people blind, and want more fame.

    Maybe Linkin Park has stepped out of the blindness, I dont know.

    Why LP is more commercial? Because they 1. Got more fame. 2.Got more fans. 3.Selled more CD's and 4. Peform more live concerts than RA.

    And yes, they are awesome, I was a HUGE LP fan before I've met RA.

  • @yankeeboy1927

    I respect LP because they're so experimental, but I hope they know that this style, from this vid, doesnt fits them. And I find that RA made this song more awesome. But that doesnt means that LP sucks? Ofcourse not! Just because RA pwnd this song, doesnt means that LP is bad or anything.

  • @ChibiSugar wow experimental? go listen to ulver fag then come back

  • @walkkdatshibby

    They go from hard rock to soft-ass music. You dont call that experimental? I do. They try different thing, try to see if their fans also like this or that style. Yes that is called experimental. And I admire that, its great that they have the guts to do it.

    I'm not going to listen to them. I'm not in the mood for that, so I wont.

  • @ChibiSugar ok then go listen to naked city then come back

  • @walkkdatshibby

    No I'm not going to listen to them either. I dont care about the other bands, we're talking about LINKIN PARK right not, not naked city or anything like that.

    And what's your point with 'then come back'? You try to be awesome and cool?

    Grow up.

  • @ChibiSugar no, you think linkin park is even at the slightest "experimental", really? that's why i said to go listen to naked city then come back.

  • @walkkdatshibby

    I dont have to compare to know if something if experimental or not.

    If you have a black shirt, and I will say:' I'll show you what black is' and show you a dark black shirt,

    does that makes your black shirt not black?

    No. So Linkin Park is experimental, and I guess your Naked City is experimental too. Maybe more than LP, but that doesnt makes LP NOT experimental.

  • @yankeeboy1927 I mean Song not sing

  • @DeadGoldBass Thats because Linkin Park sucks

  • @drummerb0y117 They doesn't sucks, they've got the second most sold album over all the world.

  • @DeadGoldBass they don't have the second most selling, but its up there. check wikipedia 

  • @PodFury not that you always can trust wikipedia :P

  • this song made me cry

    

  • Man why dio they have to make this song all whiny and emo?

  • @BenjaminWirtz hahahahaha

    

  • this one was the worst out of all of them lol

  • Rise Against did it better..

  • Why do people always need to put "Fin" at the end of the video? All the rest of it's in English, so why not end it in the same language?

  • am i the only one that laughed their ass off listening to this!? :D

  • TO bad linkin park is a suck balls band

  • rise against version is wayy better..

  • my frend told me to listen to this im like okae now i have 3 words....wtf

  • i like LP but this is gaaay

  • I hate when people immediately rule out covers for the original because they want to look cool... but the original by Malvina Reynolds is by far the best version of this song. Rise Against did a poor job completely, this one is alright and The Decembrists did a pretty good job.

  • RISE AGAINST!!!!

  • Weeds intro♥

  • Regina spektor's version was partially amazing...

  • ...Rise Against did the best version, along with the Decemberists.

  • @jokermugen Awesome

  • Triple thumbs up to @jokermugen

    

  • When my AP US teacher told us to listen to this song, I was not expecting Linkin Park...

  • do you guys realizes that its kinda ironic that all of these bands and groups that are supposed to be daring, original, and always controversial are doing the exact same rendition of a song that was originally a satire that was aimed at denouncing the conforming middle class? And yet here you all are arguing that one band dose it better than another band and that your crazy for thinking that another band is more daring for doing a slightly different version than another. Truly Ironic

  • @jokermugen ı lıke you you know that. I do belıeve that some other people sung thıs better but that ısnt ımportant at all. The message ıs what matters and dude ıt scares me scares me bad

  • @omerkick  thanks, unfortunately their are fewer and fewer of us that understand these kind of things. we all need to help inform others when crap like this happens by commenting like this. all we have to do is make an educated and well informed argument / comment on these kind of topics and hope that more people end up reading the comments and learning more about what their actually doing.

  • HEY! RISE against is do better, but linkin park is an awesome band too. just like rise against.

  • Pete Seeger did it best.

  • Rise Against hands down

    

  • I cracked up so hard when I compared this to Rise Against's version.

  • Linkin park is shit for songs like this...

  • Pete Seeger did it better.

  • @dalenkwint agreed. He sounds like a whore.

  • This completely sucks, I mean I'm looking up covers of this song and it can't get much worse than this, I mean generally this was a painful 52 seconds.

  • @dalenkwint search "animating boxes at 3am" :D

  • The Decemberist did this sooooo better

  • Regina Spektor's cover is one billion times better than this garbage!!!!....Her cover sounds so sweet (L)(L)(L) :D :D

  • This one sounds more like the original. Rise Against made it completely unrecognizable.

  • @celladorametal666 They aren't emo lmfao, they stand for what's right, keep listening to your shitty music while you eat your slaughtered animals and listen to political bullshit, because you sir, are mindless.

  • @BubbleParadox Vegetarian huh? Why bother saying 'eat your slaughtered animals'? it has no relevance to what you were saying...

  • @Z13WASUP I said, they stand for what's right. I then proceeded to list things that were wrong of him to do in my opinion. Could you not follow that or... ?

  • @BubbleParadox Yes, but by making subjective assumptions, you were slowly becoming less and less relevant. The person who posted the original reply, never said that linkin park weren't emo, he just said rise against were, and swing life away is a fairly 'emo' song, but it is very good.

  • @Z13WASUP I don't see how it's emo really which is why I made the comment in the first place. Maybe if you read into the literal terms it could be but it's more about reality than hating reality.

  • This is garbage. Probably the worst cover of melvina's.

  • curto LP

    mas na moral

    fiko podre D:

  • Does it really matter? Both are great bands, both have great music. They just have different styles.

  • Comment removed

  • I wish all you RA idiots would STFU.

  • You are all stupid for saying rise against did it better. Let's just all appreciate the original song they are covering.

  • wow. Rise against was way better! this is pretty gay

  • death cab for cutie did it better.

  • say wut?

  • bei rise against hört sich das i-wie geiler an

  • Rise Against kicked your arse on this one!!! Well, on all the other ones as well...

  • fail.

  • wow that is sooooo gay. I agree rise against was much better

  • oh cmon man dont tell me thats Chester.......all i have to say.....JESUS......that was..hmmm......sad? and sort of horrible?

  • so gay

  • Rise Against!!!

  • NOT LINKIN PARK

  • LOL. fail.

  • is it really that hard to write the lyrics correctly for a 50 sec song??

  • My guess is that they were high when they recorded for weeds and that's they sound so much more chill and peaceful

  • You Linkin Park fans are high-strung.

    "listen to his fucking voice, douchebag"

    "It's my fucking opinion!!" (no kidding?)

    ^$%^& calmmm down.

  • Oh my god, since when does Darren Hayes sing for Linkin Park?

  • is this even linkin park??? doesn't sound like them at all!

  • @n8loller

    doesn't sound like them?

    listen to his fucking voice, you douchebag

  • @Odribah how rude...

    he sounds like a chick in this song, and i've never heard linkin park play anything this calm

  • Too sweet.. i prefer Rise Against

  • é eles msm ? 

  • Ip you're wrong.... Rise against wasWAAAAAAAAAAY better! Linkin park didn't even put any "special twists" into this song. He sounds like a dude sitting on the toilet for the past 2 hours cause he's backed up and at the same time said said HEY! imma cover little boxes!!!

  • @shanerm420 I could really care less if I'm "wrong." It's my fucking opinion.

  • Who really gives two shits what version is better? If you ask me, Linkin Park and Rise Against both did this song justice in their own special ways

  • chester sounds so cute!!!

  • I don't get this. It sounds like a demo. Someone else's demo.

  • Malvina Reynolds did it way better!

  • rise against > simple plan

    rise against is just the best!!

  • RISE AGAINST ROCKS! :D

  • que porcaria , a versao da velhinha é melhor .

    :X

  • weeds

  • This is why Rise Against Surpasses Linkin Park to this very day
