Cough Syrup - The Jakes

[TheSasanka]

Not Glee but Darren Criss brought me

[Fabyio]

@TheSasanka I love Darren, but I hated it that they used this song on Glee. It's been one of my favorites for a long time.

[Voxzaco]

Interesting that they made 2 slightly different versions of the song as the band evolved. I personally like the "Young The Giants" (other) one better (for one it's longer!) but it's cool to see how a few minor changes alter the song, even slightly.

[DivorceTheSkyVLOGS]

@SakuraMochiKitty this version is different from the newer one that they recorded as Young The Giant. there are less "oh"s, he only uses I once in the chorus, his pitch is higher. all around, I personally like this version better.

[Alita258]

@DivorceTheSkyVLOGS me too

[YourWife2008]

@DivorceTheSkyVLOGS Good to know, because I did hear the Young The Giant version first, then Darren Criss'. Darren's style was similar to this one. That's why I didn't like the Young The Giant version. I agree this version is much better.

[jessicaisrad01]

i love this version sooo much more

[siriuslysnazzy]

It's cool hearing the differences between this version and newer one. Definitely made some good changes to it later.

[xXHannahhRayUndeadXx]

Love this song.-3

[aveseq1]

UH-HUH-CO-CO-COUGH-SYRUP..!!..­

[jzarow99]

If you're reading this, There's a good chance you have Hipster credit for knowing about Young The Giant back when they went by "The Jakes"

You can now pat yourself on the back. :)

[tomatoface12]

@jzarow99 I patted myself on the stomach because patting yourself on the back is too mainstream.

[DrugsBeBadMkay1211]

@tomatoface12 I would say "lol" or like that comment, but that's way too mainstream.

[SakuraMochiKitty]

@jzarow99 Two of the members were from my high school too. Sameer used to be in choir and Jake used to be on the men's varsity water polo team. So proud of these boys!

[CatchingFireful]

Why did they Change the name of the band?

[dancingqueen842]

@CatchingFireful They're called Young the Giant now

[ItsMyCupcake]

Thumps up if you were a fan of the The Jakes before they changed their name.

[Soccerlover42198]

I love this songgggg

[ILCIONI]

Bad imitation of Coldplay.

[DaiGurren1010]

THIS SUUCKS ASS!!!!!!!!! Now that i have your attention. This song is theeee BEST! but this version is much better. and im kinda sad that they're famous now and everyone knows about them. :( This is supposed to be a thing for such a little group of fans. i guess i gotta find another band to listen to...

[MatCobMusic]

@DaiGurren1010 Or you can just continue liking them because they are still a good band?... Why do you have to go find another band to listen to just because they got famous? Dumb...

[sithiik]

@MatCobMusic He is a Hipster

[CouldWeCareLess]

@sithiik he's an irrational retard

[SakuraMochiKitty]

@DaiGurren1010 Wait, what version? The Jakes and YTG are the same people (they just had a name change), so how can there be different versions?

[elliekart]

@SakuraMochiKitty Um. They rerecorded it.

[YourWife2008]

@SakuraMochiKitty Not sure but this sounds much better then their "official" version. The official one their voices sound muffled to me. 

[Borderal1]

no way the new version is much beter

[BreKay95]

Im so glad they redid the song a bit, it seems like they are masking Sameers beautiful voice.

[drummmer101]

I need this EP!!!!!

[nesskiyuu]

The Jakes is such a better name than Young the Giant. I'm all for their music being put out there and all, but I hate that they're main stream. Very contradicting. Good for them for becoming famous, bad for me for all the n00b people saying "ohhhh young the giant isnt the jakes, im like their number one fan." Blech.

[IzzynKat]

I think both versions are simply amazing.

[Stearnsifornication]

The skinny jeans gotta go.

[chriscamaron]

@Stearnsifornication lol there not even that skinny

[shecandoitalll]

This version is better, I cant get into the new "Young the Giant" stuff.

[kingcobra121495]

Wtf this is "Cough Syrup" by Young the Giant! NOT the jakes... -.-

[Granolabear2]

@kingcobra121495 The Jakes was Young The Giant before they changed their name.

[messidinho96]

@Granolabear2 you got it backwards young the giant was the jakes before they changed it i used to go to a club they played at b4 they were famous

[jujudeeson]

@kingcobra121495 I love people who don't do their research :).

[xplaycracktheskyx]

@kingcobra121495 idiot.

[TheClassicRebellion]

@kingcobra121495 cunt.

[LuvableBeyondContent]

@kingcobra121495 The Jakes are Young the Giant..

[jcoltr451]

@kingcobra121495 It's a rare occasion to meet the biggest idiot on the internet! God! What an honor!

[8195mike]

@kingcobra121495 LOLLOLOLLOLOL

[nate3595]

@kingcobra121495 you are retarded...

[GeeksNbeats]

i prefer this over the new one. this is raw.

[tomatoface12]

@GeeksNbeats This sounds like it's the live version of the studio one. :D

[BeatleBiter]

This version and the new one are both really good, but they both have different qualities. :)

[wooho42]

i remember when i listened to the jakes, i had to actually buy their songs from itunes because they were so unknown there was no pirates

[Triplerhythm]

Hm, youtube used to have a really good quality of Garands of Normandie on acoustic. I can't find it anymore. damn.

[InDiepKid]

@tpHoMeG actually this was a high school/college band that Jake Tilley and Sameer Gadhia were in together; they just took this song and used it cuz the other guys didnt continue

[Vgamer88]

perfect song .....to get incredibly stoned to

[luccawarrior]

this man's voice what iiiiis this beauty

[branden15243]

I saw these guys live in Pittsburgh with Incubus. The energy these guys put in their live set is amazing. They had everyone asking who they were, and I didn't hear one person not like their set. Glad they made it big. The singer reminds me of Anoop from American Idol a few yrs back.

[tpHoMeG]

whoooaaaa just realized they changed their name!!! i was freaking out for a min thinking someone stole their song lol

[blake123456789ful]

ohhh my gosh this song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[1997candycorn]

I love both versions :) and I love all their music <3 even though I'm a new listener

[xl3rokenRec0rdx]

I like their older songs better :(

[Triplerhythm]

@xl3rokenRec0rdx Isn't this one of their older songs? They performed this live more than three years ago. I remember this, Schizophrenia, Cough syrup and Garands of Normandie vividly. Pretty awesome.

[xl3rokenRec0rdx]

@Triplerhythm Yeah, that's what I meant. I don't really like Young the Giant's songs (new songs), but The Jakes' songs (old songs) are awesome :)

[Musicaddict123100]

I remember finding this on purevolume like three years ago. i'm glad they made it big though, this kind of talent needs to be recognized.

[airyk13]

@AmberleyApocalypse Haha wow, i hope yur just playing...

[In2netDave]

@airyk13 seriously, I really hope he is, I'm really sick of people jumping on the MTV bandwagon, The Jakes have been around for 7 years! This song has been out for I think 3 now. Just sad that people have to listen to what MTV thinks, to listen to good music. 

[AmberleyApocalypse]

@airyk13 Chilll i did not no D:<<

[airyk13]

@AmberleyApocalypse Haha calm down & breathe for a second, i just saw some really nice grass...

[kovacsrockstar]

@AmberleyApocalypse

lol, READ

[1997candycorn]

@AmberleyApocalypse same band.... lol

[AmberleyApocalypse]

@1997candycorn ohkiee.

[SakuraMochiKitty]

@AmberleyApocalypse They're the same band. They were The Jakes in high school and then changed their name in college after a few changes.

[AmberleyApocalypse]

@SakuraMochiKitty Ohkay, i didn't no. Dun hate! D:<

[blarg2314]

So I most def have no clue when I heard this first, but me and my friends were screwing around on the interwebz and decided to search our names on youtube (mine being Jacob), and we somehow ran into this. I completely forgot about this until I heard it on the radio under a new name... I still like this artist more than "Young the Giant" though ;)

[boofieman]

@blarg2314 SAME BAND. D:

[happybananapanda]

I just saw them on mtv and I was so confused because I remember them being the Jakes and then I see "Young the Giant". My face when...

[NolanCody]

the radio ruined this band for me

[TheSynthExperience]

@NolanCody Don't be such a hipster.

[ps360gangsta]

is that a bob marley shirt? : )

[KidCudiNation]

@footballfullback Thank you (:

[KidCudiNation]

I don't usually listen to this type of music, no disrespect to any of you. But this song is great. I love the sound, it's so mellow, & the tempo is perfect. I heard it on MTV (You Rock The Deuce)

[TheDangerousz18st]

thumbss up if yur still listening to this 2011 (:

[haackshows]

i swear to god i just had like an epiphany to this song

[ahuertas]

Thaks, Nice song, Ive been looking for it.

[maw4bc]

@jamespisawesome i actually prefer the new version, but thats just my opinion. still an awesome song either way!

[legomexican]

God I love his song

[catebee14]

whyd they change their name?

[jamespisawesome]

definitely prefer this to the newer version, been looking for it for a while and im soo happy i found it :D

[V2veepower]

Thanks for the upload! Just saying, it's "a wet world /aches/ for a beat of a drum", not "longs".

[Granolabear2]

@V2veepower ahah yeah i know. i just copy and pasted the lyrics from a website. i'll fix it :)

[StunninMuffin8]

Im confused...the jakes or young the giant??? Sorry im a new listener..

[Granolabear2]

@StunninMuffin8 they're Young The Giant. they used to be The Jakes, but they changed it.

[StunninMuffin8]

@Granolabear2 Ooooh ok thanks(:

[gklue]

@Granolabear2 Oh, I was confused for a moment too. lol

[SakuraMochiKitty]

@StunninMuffin8 They were The Jakes in high school, but changed their name in college after some changes.

[kisscactus1]

@StunninMuffin8 Young The Giant or (YTG) i like The Jakes better though:)

[SakuraMochiKitty]

[MrMintyk]
