[dr0psh0t18]

great song. lyrics are are to understand a little though. all in all this is a great song. great job, Great Big Sea!

[dr0psh0t18]

what album is this?

[lujo00622]

yea did everybody know that the world is going to end on feb 30th 2012

[wintergsouth]

another cover ahh/ no song writers in this band it's plain 2 c

[osmisium]

I'm going to play this on 12-21-2012 :D

[gustovful]

bad job zzzz boring

[gustovful]

Great song. /did gbs write it ?

[aaronrobinson4]

@gustovful no, its a cover but they speed it up quite a bit and made it much better in my opinion!

[planethetalia]

birthday cake, cheese cake, jelly bean, BOOM

[alicekeigh]

Five people are REM fans too embarrassed to admit that this version is more fun.

[Dovebyrd]

This is better than the original. What fun!



[WhiskersMctabby]

I don't believe in any of this 2012 talk, but at least it'll be an excuse to blair this song XD

[sevennotrumpxx]

The reason why GBS covered this one is because Newfoundland is at the end of the world as we know it. I can actually see the edge from my living room window!

[BiggestBieberFan345]

I know Murray Foster from Great Big Sea and met the band they are really nice people!

[Ashleymjy]

One day, that man's mouth is going to break from being driven too fast too many times.

[Magik604]

My 2012 theme song right here!

[MiSsPuNkPrInCeSs01]

I'm going to play this on December 21, 2012

[Keimori12]

I play this and sing it out loud during every "Apocalypse" with my friends.

[redwingchief]

IF ALAN DOYLE COULD WRITE A GOOD SONG, HE'D BE IN THE USA NOW BRAGGING ABOUT IT / hence he is not a song writer and is a poor singer and musician to boot / take that any way you want , i don't give a muck

[urquhart77]

@redwingchief Shut up troll before we beat your ass Maritime style.

[WhiskersMctabby]

@redwingchief ever hear of something called a tribute band? as long as you sound good and have permission, than everything's cool. different artists will record songs from other bands, not because they're thieves, but because they're fans themselves. now i'm not asking you to like Doyle, or great big sea, and i'm not trying to offend you, but can you please stop being so offensive about making your point next time? .....

[redwingchief]

@ domolord101 I like all kinds of music, just not , in your face dumb $#%T / getting away with not even playing an instrument well. BANDS that get and earn respect write original songs ./ not piggy banking off other writers material like alan doyle is famous 4

[redwingchief]

butchered a great song as usual

[hgf6789]

@redwingchief no harm ment but i believe they did pretty good and rem is kool with it also these dudes make it more enegertic why so much hate

[standingintheshadows]

@redwingchief Don't you have anything better to do that sit around and troll ALL of GBS's videos trying to piss off fans? It's really pathetic. Seriously man, get a life and try to think something positive every once in a while. You don't have to like their music but you also don't have to come here and listen to it.

[domolord101]

@redwingchief you need to learn to enjoy any kind of music, bro

[cjm450]

Pretty good cover of a classic REM tune.

Well done GBS.

[86jbarry]

wow......Great Big Sea writes almost all of their songs.....this is a COVER....imitation is the highest form of flattery

[redwingchief]

why would anyone try to do an R. E. M. song ? there's no way to do it better. / alan doyle needs to learn to write his own songs or step aside. / lots of good song writers out there

[Pyromancer721]

Rem= Great, wonderful, a song that I listened to my whole life.

11 years old

*LIstens to Great Big Sea's version* Fuck... Why didn't I find this earlier o.O

[dbenmil]

@redrabbit2350 - LOL :)))

[blanbproductionshd]

1:09 even he cant keep up hilarious

[dbenmil]

@blanbproductionshd - LOL :)

[TheEmperorOfMan]

wow blatantly stolen from REM.....

[JeremyBanks89]

@TheEmperorOfMan I know man, I can't stand those terrible talentless bands that don't write all of their own songs. That's how I knew the Beatles were going to be shit: half of the tracks on their first album were simply stolen!

[WaffleGod22]

@JeremyBanks89 its not that people cany write there own songs some songs they do are others but that dosent make the beatles bad. so your just an idiot for thinking the beatles are bad just for using other peoples songs, if u just dont like the beatles that your choice.

[JeremyBanks89]

@WaffleGod22 My comment was sarcasm, pointing out that even the best musicians perform covers. The Beatles are probably my favourite band. :)

[SmileyMikee]

@TheEmperorOfMan its called a cover. its what bands do

[Scottf7760]

@TheEmperorOfMan What? Really?

Almost every band sings songs that other bands write.

Its called a cover

And no, they didn't steal it - They got permission to cover the song, or if they didn't i'm surprised this video is still being shown on Youtube.

Anyway their cover is so much better from the origonal

[Catula2]

So REM just officially broke up, and the first thing I did was dig up this video. Is that a good or bad thing?

[SnickerSkye]

Am I the only person who can understand exactly what he's saying or am I just weird? o.o

[WiseManTy]

I can't understand half the words, but theres still more meaning in there then 90% of the songs playin nowadays

[150rex]

im going out right now and getting every one of their cds. cant believe ive been searching the world for good drinking music when it was right here at home all a long

[Celshonar]

BIRTHDAY PARTY CHEESECAKE JELLYBEAN! 1:56

[bobdoleca01]

on dec 21st 2012 i intend to blast this song

[cooper7451778]

im a newfie and i sill have a hard time finguring out some words

[SuperSparky00]

hey these guys r great, went to school with allan...newfies talk faster!!

[TheLastRecluse1]

i have a great bet for an idiot who thinks the world will end in 2012. tell him/her i bet you $20 that the world wont end in 2012, and if it dose, i will give you $20

like this if your going to do it

[4aceshigh1957]

@TheLastRecluse1 yeah well...the point is to try and win some money...maybe collect some cash up front first...

[Steelback70]

The song on the album had a fiddle line. I wonder why it wasn't included in this version.

[222thehobojoe]

@redrabbit2350 you think thats fast, try the original by REM

[rcooke16]

@222thehobojoe this version is 1:20 shorter than the original by REM, but still contains all the same verses. It's waaaaay faster than the original.

[SuperSparky00]

went to school with alan.. wow i couldnt keep up with that lyric, he was a great guy at school..he always convinced our principal to have a concert.. and it was awesome..thanks alan!

[samnbern]

WE'RE ALIVE!!!

[Skowsa]

So today is the big day, eh? Oh well, Mr Camping, if you are wrong don't worry... it's not the end of the world! Love this song!

[cookiemonster18181]

HAPPY RAPTURE EVERYBODY!!!

[SamiiKittehCat]

Bahah, today is May 21st.

I have this blasted at Midnight.

So, I guess, I'TS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT & I FEEL FINE! :D

[Andraste77]

Wouldn't mind watching the end of the world from some spectacular part of Newfoundland.

[dmathews2010]

Bring on the rapture!!!!!!! =:o)

[PNDancer]

lol 2012 i'm going to basting this on Saturday (may 21 2011) and i'm just going to go driving around all the churches singing along xD

[starflowerkat]

The end of the world is upon us! Using the lyrics from the first verse-

Thats great, it starts with an earthquale(japan), birds(umm...working on that one), snakes(venomous snake escaped the brox zoo) an aeroplane(airplanes are ALWAYS having problems!) and Lenny Bruce is not afraid(Um....uh...Anyone know a Lenny Bruce?)

[CDNPaczosCDN]

@starflowerkat Birds! before the japan earthquake there was like 1000 birds died and fell out of tree's in canada or america idk but ya... BIRDS!! that one happend too!

[starflowerkat]

@CDNPaczosCDN

Great! Just what we needed! Last problem....Lenny Bruce...hm....

[CDNPaczosCDN]
