Presidents of USA - Video Killed The Radio Star

[danaseilhan]

The song's fine. I've heard much worse covers than this.

[bladebrandon]

Buggles version was better

[NikkiBear71]

THIS FUCK THE BUGGLES SING IT BETTER!!!!

[kickass055]

this version sucks ass

[TheIncredibleDanaB]

@kickass055 you spelled kicks wrong...

[SteveoKnievo100]

I saw Steve Buscemi. How awesome

[GarfieldFCo]

i still like the earlier. sounds like 2005

[miguelfs]

i didn't know that John Malkovich had a band

[craicrazy]

thumbs up for the DMC at 00:45

[casparbabypants]

aw...we were just LITTLE....

[Romchikthelemon]

Классика

[PunnettSquared]

VEVO killed the video star...

[snarkus63]

I came here when I found out the Presidents Of USA redid one of my favorite songs.

Then I saw it was from an Adam Sandler movie.

I stopped it at 0:13.

[portmini]

its impossible to dislike this...lol

[hazza3]

Oh, no. They ruined your children. Oh, no. They're as dumb as Bieber.

Google killed the Youtube clips.

Vevo killed the Youtube song.

They're in my faves and in my channel, they've ruined Youtube, they've gone to far. TO FAR!

[ThatT0byGuy]

@hazza3

naw its people like you and your dumb-ass comments that ruin youtube.

[hazza3]

@ThatT0byGuy No its negative comments made by little homos like you that ruin Youtube, and google.

[Wratan222]

President of USA killed this song

[dyunior]

iTune killed the radio star!

[lurch321]

MUCH better than the original.

[jeikobu21]

internet pretty much killed everything...

[MrToadvenom]

@jeikobu21 then why are you on it

[belongin]

porn

[Mrlebricabrac]

HEY !!! WATCH  "JELLY PLANE" on YOUTUBE !!!

[11SlickRick11]

whats up with the sound?

[BladesRandom]

internet killed the video porn

[1997slydog]

I never really understood the song untill now

[newfiemale25]

@1997slydog orignal is better

[1997slydog]

@newfiemale25 yeah it is i ment i could not hear the lyrics untill i hear it i could only understad a little bit of it

[Englander30]

I like the way they prounounce "can't" in the English way, rather than in the American way. Like a little nod to the Buggles. Bravo.

[spikesp666]

I like the "Presidents of USA" but this song did NOT need to be remade. It's an abomination to the music world. I remember when Buggles showed this P.O.S. video on MTV when it was first starting and this song was concidered a sphincter-lock even back then.

p.s.- Radio is alive and kicking. Just ask the millions of Satelitte radio subscribers like me. Love it so much, don't mind paying. Video didn't kill sh*t!

[mootio1]

@spikesp666 to be fair there is an aweful lot of songs that say things that arnt true. so by picking on this one your picking on an aweful lot of songs. i enjoy both versions of this song and the buggles version just because you didnt like it doesnt mean that everyone else didnt like it. that is your opinion and your entitled to it but bashing this song because its saying something that isnt true is ridiculous. and your right. radio is alive and kicking but it used to be a much bigger industry.

[Keijz74]

Record companies killed the recording star

[oasisbeyond]

What's weird i sthese guys sounded exactly like that band from the 80's.

[Numinous123]

@oasisbeyond

If you can't tell the difference you must be tone deaf.

[devanharold]

internet killed everything in this planet..

[fanblow]

This version sucks!

[Szangottam]

internet kills everything what is living...

people in front of the monitors... they forget what are these things:

- to breathe fresh air,

- to play with theirs childrens,

- etc.

[meric2]

@Szangottam

Not going to lie, those are some left field examples you gave. I mean... really.... breathing fresh air and playing with children are the only things you could come up with?

[Jmanruleshereallydoe]

@Szangottam but your on the internet so did you forget what fresh ar was and what its like to play with your children? im on the internet and i run 2 to 3 miles every other day andi also babysit my friends kid once in a while and i play with them so meh to u sir -_-

[JeffryArntzen]

@Szangottam Internet didn't kill anything, it's a source of info. If people let it consume them it's their own fault.

Get tired of people not being responsible for there own actions. Always want to blame someone or something else.

[ruffian1868]

If you can't get the lyrics right....? This is a poor version to the original ( Bruce Wooley & The Camera Club ).

[AteamsMrt]

crap sound quality, why is the sound so  low on this?

[mamimiming]

i thought the 50 1st dates is the first of movie of adam sandler and drew barrymore

[Gamera57]

I love the original, but I really love the vocals here... Cool cover ! (I didn't know from...) :)

[DJSOUTHSIDEBEATS]

FIRST VDEO EVER ON MTV noice!

[canuckleful]

Presidents Of The United States Of America = potusa

[hugeackman]

@canuckleful potusa = pot user.

[canuckleful]

@hugeackman Pot user=... the President of the United States of America

[hugeackman]

@canuckleful the circle of life

[canuckleful]

@hugeackman XD

[aerialdude]

I love the wedding singer. Best Adam Sandler movie in my opinion.

[bobomanthecruzan]

The song was originally created by the group - The Buggles - released as a single circa 1979, Island Records.

-wiki

[FuzzySnuckums]

Ooo ooo

[nikobelic25000]

yawl messed a classic up

[WrathOfTheGate87]

@nikobelic25000 actually its kinda ironic really. these guys show exactly HOW video killed the radio star. how you may ask? easy, compare it to the original, that came out when video was killing the radio star. their saying yeah video killed it, and then this cover is proof.

[sofialove1997]

jersey shore killed mtv.

[WesMott1994]

@sofialove1997 lol comment win!

[atheistspongebob]

@sofialove1997

mtv was dead long before jersey shore friend.

[Muse4life05]

@atheistspongebob that's totally right. MTV started to decline around '98 and was totally dead by '03.

[btgscg]

@Muse4life05 The real world and road rules is what killed MTV.

[Trevor10]

yeaa! back to the future car!:P a guy in my home towns got one of em:P awsome seeing it around

[evertonjf08]

[VarDolzeberg]

Bad singing killed the cover artist.

[CalmDraven]

[frederrasse]

It suucks. Lol.

[AndrezHolland]

[lostnightfilms]

[kodakmsr99]

heh video killed the radio star for about 10 years and then said video company started showing things like Road Rules and Beavis and Butthead and forgot even about the video star

[krystoff42]

Internet killed the video star

[MangaReviewTvForever]

@krystoff42 idiot i hope you know you can post videos on the internet so you make no sence

[ArcticStormZ]

[Vaser1234567]

I like the buggels one better, but this one is good to!

[rhbdpy]

0:47 Delorian?

I'm think i should have checked out these guys earlier.

[TalkingOcean1]

@grimsbydocks YAWN!!! Another Brit making crude remark telling us how stupid we are, LOL! I guess it's a penis envy thing or something. I like the UK but ppl like you are no dick prick POS's!! Come to Texas I want to show you my gun collection.

[136miles]

JUST GOES TO SHOW NO ONE CAN KILL A TRUE CLASIC SONG!! BUT THEY HAD A GOOD GO AT IT LOL

[theadditude]

did they orignally write this?

[Kazooiepack]

hmm....the "oh-a-oh" part isn't held nearly long enough, the lead vocal doesn't have the old timey effect...but the bass is a hellofa lot better

[brandtaylor93]

someone needs to write a parody where the internet kills the video star.... or something along the lines of that...

[tokita113]

me da asko que porqueria era mejor la anterior lo que dice la kansion es lo que este pelado le a exo a la vieja y mejor kanzion!!!! el grupo se oye bn pero no agan esto

[randomfreaknumber11]

this is an alternative rock version

[JohnathenDavis]

Is it me or are they not using joke equipment in this video? lol I love The Presidents.

[DukeHeavyHaul]

Really nice to see a cover that actually tries to do justice. Nice they didn't try to spin it too far to their own style.... Long live the Presidents!

[linkinparkmexican]

they are dum

[Rechargeable2]

the orignal was one of the best songs ever ,but this..just perfect

[sonicdan369]

I've been looking for this version forever...and found the superior original version while I was searching lol xD Although, I Prefer the chorus in this version, hands down, and the lyrics are easier to understand. A wonderful cover nonetheless

[chizel17]

I like this cover so much better than the original and other covers

[lewisduncan93]

Is it just my computer or has this video got really low volume..

Anyways good cover

[TheSaguaro22]

@lewisduncan93 indeed it is. i had my volume blasting 4 this-so the volume seemed normal, and my next song- a loud YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!from the who woke up my neighbors

[siberazz99]

where did they gone all this time..

[LiveForMyMoment]

The original is excellent and in my humble opinion, this cover is even better, more punchy and headbanging material.

One of the best covers ever by the most fun band in history !

[TheEric1203]

the "Oh, oh" is pretty creepy :\

[tfcowner]

this version is terrible... srry to tell ya!

[Kickerman44]

I think it's just more appealing to a younger crowd then the original...

[bigt4life]

I liked the Drew Barrymore parts of the video <3

[4020kid]

this song is way better--my mom fucked blondie with a strap-on after a concert in

memphis !!

[TEMPmichaelhansen]

accually the lyric is "'put the blame on VTR'"

[JWK1124]

I think this is better..

[efan64]

The Woman singer is the worst part about this.

[ihatesunnysideups]

Ironically, they killed the song.

[JohnLennon12]

lets all stop bull shiting each other this version and the buggles are both good okay and just be mean on other vids. comment section and not deface this persons vid i think that would be good and don't even try to get a comeback on me cuz i got a better one

[coolknot1]

I prefer The Buggles version than this.

[icestarphantom]

amen to that

[EnergyWasted]

I actually like the Presidents' version better. But the volume on this one needs turned up.

[JettaGal1]

WTFFFFF this sucks

[mat123456789o]

I'm Canadian thank you very much :) Ya we took Vimy Ridge when no one else could :P beat that

[bigtdawg69]

fuckin eh!

[knutfheifer]

can you imagine if those canadian american people had half of a brain? the world would be dangerous, thank god he made them all stupid!

[Kiutu]

Hating the US is hating the whole world. Considering we are people from all over the world (we started as mostly brits btw) you cant hate the US without hating your own country. Im not saying dont hate us, just know that you have to hate yourself too.

[TheGreyStranger]

Also, going back to something at the beginning of my rant, you imply that all Americans are, in a word that you could understand "twats". That is racist. Do YOU like eating terrible foods and have horrible dentists and never where braces?

ANNYYYYWAAYYY, good song, did not like the harmonies in this version, ah well.

[TheGreyStranger]

So, because I live in the US and was born here I am automatically a terrible person who ruins everything I touch? You seem to have a very backwards idea of how us in the US see ourselves. We all..Ok most of us..the smart ones know of what is going on, and how the world looks at us, but the bureaucratic red tape for anyone working in an opposite direction than the former ideals, even the President, make for a near impossible solution that has all parties happy. The US is just too big to govern.

[FluffyThe1337Panda]

what movie is this first part of this video from?

[lovesomethingcurse]

The Wedding Singer.

[renau1g]

wedding singer with adam sandler

[jiggidy220]

the wedding singer

[TheGreyStranger]

I'm so sorry "grimsbydocks" my feeble american mind cannot fathom the importance of the wedding singer clips at the beginning of the video. Please show me your vast knowledge of movies by

Adam Sandler and obscure bands by explaining it to me. cunt.

anyway, i love the song, but the harmonies done by the singer sounds odd to me, in comparison to others I've heard.

[69HeartGrenade]

@TheGreyStranger you are a moron for starting shit. you ca try to use all the sophistcated words you want but in the end you dunno what half of them mean i assume. like "cunt"- cunt was a legal term used generally to describe a slave in a court of law. it means "Cannot Understand Normal Talk" so stfu and let everyone enjoy this vid? kthx.

[XenWuFei]

And I suppose shit stands for Store High In Transit too? Cunt as it is currently spelled is a relatively new word, and, beyond that, acronyms are not much older (and would be considered a completely absurd concept until English dictionarys became reliable and produced on large scales around the 16th-17th century). You shouldn't believe things just because you read them on the internet, you know.

[TheRazrblade]

@grimsbydocks

you having fun playing with your new word?

[BRUTUALTRUTH]

Weak grabage

[chifour66]

I was watching MTV the first day it aired and saw the Buggles do this song. It is still the best version, but I do love these guys.

[lovedarli]

What's with all of the clips from the Wedding singer? xD

[thos3guys]

the wedding singer?

[MastersofDumbassery]

I disagree, I'm a fan of both Ben Folds and a huge fan of The Presidents (or PUSA or The Presidents of the United States of America, whichever makes you people happy :) and i like this version far better. But you know what, I don't think there's any need for debate. The original has been covered by at least 50 artists of all genres. Its just a good song, so pick a version and be happy with it.

[focs123]

it was covered so much cuz it is insanely awesome!!!

[adamstakeonlife]

@MastersofDumbassery this one

[fatjamesbond]

@MastersofDumbassery were the buggles the first group to do this song?

[xplay3r]

@fatjamesbond  Yeah it was their song

[tman916x]

that's a bit too much, but I think you should prove how lame they are and put out a cover and show us all what we've been missing.

[StacieLassila57]

Ben Folds Five made this sound wayyy better! But I guess this is good...

[videochemist]

OOOooOOO!

[Kamaka675]

I want to fuck you in the ass with Bengay. Make you tear up and shit.

[cowhanson]

@Kamaka675 ...If you want to vent...please do it somewhere else.

[brennanclark21]

good version

also

fun fact of the day the original version was the first music video to air on mtv ever

[MojaveDan]

The is one of the best cover or remake of an 80's classic that I've heard so far. The Buggles will always sing this better in my mind, but the Presidents give a new life to this song.

[theATCrider]

Shitty.

[chene60]

This video is fucking awesome. The skinhead guy is so amazing and the clip so dynamic

[kilowatt047]

near impossible to get enpough volume. The audio sucks.

[jules0611]

Great remake by the Presidents of the USA!

[Ayrshirenutter]

a cover means you didn't record it first,so Buggles is a cover,so lets agree to disagree

[Xgen001]

the wedding singer.

[racheljesloves]

the wedding singer or something kinda like that!!!?!!!

[SeventhSun]

Adam Sandler looked very handsome in that movie, but in the 20st Century... WHAT THE HELL DID HE DO TO HIMSELF AND HIS HAIR?!?!?!

Pretty nice hair many years later in his starring role as Zohan though, but that's quite about it.

[SeventhSun]

I mean the 21st Century hee ~

[ExtremePanda007]

A lot of people seem to be disagreeing on which version is better... Well, if you were a fan of the original, then listened to this, you'll probably prefer the original. If you are a PUSA fan, and came acroos this, then listened to the original, then you'll probably prefer this version. That is because the two bands have a very different style, it's hard to cover a band that's not even in the same genre as you. Oh, and PUSA owns this song live. Buggles can't even compete with that, IMO.

[Ayrshirenutter]

well you and a million others obviously don't know that 'the Camera Club' did the original,buggles was a cover and the best known

[AgentDudeman]

I am a PUSA fan. I have been for a while, but i heard the Buggles version first, and i still think the original better.

So what if they do it live? Does that really make a difference?

[bluvice7]

what soundtrack is this song for?

can some1 plz tell me

[fangaug]

its from the wedding siger so probably that one

[Schinsky]

what album is it on?

[laqmi]

pure frosting.. cool aint it ?

[Schinsky]

yeah I found it...thanks

[boet613]

As far as covers go, I think this is pretty damn brilliant !!! but that's just my opinion !!!

[jordancayco]

now internet killed the video star... what's next??

[Shaggy3A]

Aliens will eat our brains

[vsfmtvenc]

@jordancayco Internet killed the video star. Next, the Telepathic star kills the Internet star.

[podjo2k]

@jordancayco If Mass Effect is true, then we'll discover the Protheans, and Extranet will kill the Internet star.

[brandtaylor93]

@jordancayco MTV goes bankrupt!?!?!?!

[JFMGoldenberg]

@brandtaylor93

Haha like that'd make any difference, MTV stopped playing music videos years ago anyways.

[nucleardragon19]

@jordancayco Virtual reality killed the Internet star.

[deohgesdad]

@jordancayco cranial downloading?
