I fucking love The Jam, they are a great band and untouchable, but this song is a great example of McFly actually being a very underrated band, Once you get past the pop fluff, they're actually a very talented bunch of lads. Great cover.
I's impossible to compare McFly and Jonas Brothers, even if they are similar, they are from completely different backgrounds and act totally different!
@Analuvmcfly4eva and why do you compare mcfly with the jonas brothers?? as you said their music is different, you can't compare them because they are very different. I love the jonas brothers and mcfly, they are my two favorite bands
Ok I admit - I opened to listen to it and was wanting to slag it off, but totally fair play a very good cover of a not so easy song to cover!...never beat the original though:)
It bugs me when youtubers block people for leaving negative comments, it's pathetic, everyone has the right to an opinion and the right to express it on youtube. And there's no point saying "why watch it if you don't like it?" well, there was a link in the related videos to the original so I came to check it out. It's not awful, but it's nothing compared to The Jam. In my opinion.
Right i never get this? If youu don't like mclfy why bother with typing it in the search box and wasting your time listening for gods sake....
Mcfly have and always will be a great band, if you dont like them dont listen!!
And for everyone who thinks they are only for young people your wrong im 16 and most of my friends love them 2 and when we go to live concerts people who are older then us are there and there are hardly any young people.
Sooo get your facts right. Stop bad comments I♥Mcfly
i must admit, i only like mcfly because ive only heard a few poppy songs n found them to be quite good, but their covers are phenomianl! like umbrella, born to run, build me up butter cup, dont stop me now ect. then this came along and now i cnt decide which is better betwene them and the jam, going with my tastes probibly the jam, but this is an amazing cover :)
ok i lyk mcflys own songs but they always attempt to cover songs by big bands like the jam the clash the kinks and the beetles etc and tbh this is not a bad comment cause i love mcfly but theyll never pull of those types of bands music there greats and mc fly are a teenage cheesy pop band
Ha, im reading the book "Malice" by chris wooding, its a rarther grim book, about a town called malice that takes kids away and dumps them there, were they then have trouble surviving, and when i read it this song gets in my head....
This cover plays where I work and no one knows who it is or that it even is a cover but all the customers and the workers love it. Thank you for posting the audio of the song
yeah! i was hearing it and i was thinking "i've heard this in a movie i love" but as i love like 100 different movies i couldnt remmember which, thanks!
woah..my friend just yesterday saw the musical...thats so weird. so theres a movie too?
haha just today i was asking her a bizzilion questions like was elton john there? did u meet him?!...lol just his musics in it..imma sing it to her and see if she recognises it
It's weird, isn't it? How certain people with no lives seek out covers and diss them, simply because they're covers, without taking their musical talent and sound into account. Mcfly have done some terrible covers, but this one really is good.
Nice cover. This is one of those songs which, in my humble opinion, you don't want to mess with too much or try too hard to 'personalize' because the original version was a perfect rendering.
I love the original, but I heard about this cover and decided to check it out....not too bad, but I was hoping that McFly could have taken it and done it in their own style or something, because to me, that constitutes a really good cover: being able to take a song from one genre and reworking it as your own. But hey, I suppose that purists probably would have freaked out and cried bloody murder C:
you haven't exactly hopped into busted's time machine and gone 25 years into the future have you!? stop being a jerk and leave mcfly and their fans alone.
ye my bad thats what i meant to put, started in 72 ended in 82. and no mcfly covers wont be done in 20yrs time neither will the jam ...music tastes will be completely different.
bullshit....the only slightest thing good about the jam was that when they split back in 1989 paul weller was free to do a solo career...he was too good for the band.
duh mcfly are still selling number one singles and albums how is that draging on. and the jam were hardly successful i hadnt even heard of them until billy elliot so what does that say about them.....stop living in the past !
the jam are one of the best british bands ever they are up there with the beatles.
Mcfly are down there with busted! im sorry but you must be tone deaf. the jam= Pure british class. Mcfly= immature bubblegum pop for 5-12 year old girls.
please! why dont you sort of people get your head out of your arse...times move on... busted are crap...mcfly are ten times better, the jam are old and arent even a band anymore. and mcfly isnt even for little girls....
the jam up there with the GREATES and most INFLUENTAL band eva i dnt think so i have neva heard of them till thiss cover so sort your facks out and McFly are not for for that age group and by the looks of it i think you come into that age group seems you keep moaning bout them if you dnt like them dnt listen to them you sad fuk arsshole you nned to get a life and probz some taste in music!!
Huge Jam fan but I must say McFly have done a fantastic job here...but nothing beats Paul wellers accent lol :)
