  • Huge Jam fan but I must say McFly have done a fantastic job here...but nothing beats Paul wellers accent lol :)

  • Hate to admit but they've done a good job here

  • 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 I think they're new stuff e.g. "party girl" is like the Jo Bros and I ain't too fond of it.. and I was/ am a major mcfly fan.

  • awesome cover

  • @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

  • what a coincidence, didn't know they covered this

  • awesome!

  • 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:)

  • good, but nobody will ever beat the jam

  • I love this cover <3 : ) McFly is just amazing !

  • 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.

  • Wow, I normally hate McFly, but this isn't bad at all! :o

  • actually not bad the jams version is still fuckin amazing bt nt bad

  • I really love the original, but this is bloody amazing<3

  • 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

  • the bass solo is so incredible and better than the original...

    i think dougie is slapping his bass in this song!!

  • 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 :)

  • im 23, my gf is hotter than u, and i listen to mcfly. haters go yell at a wall or somethin youre wack

  • This is actually a good cover. Why dont they make songs like this it suits them more than that pop crap they make.

  • Love this cover!!!

    McFly are amazing :DD

  • beautiful, r u sending out mp3's or not?

  • beautiful, r u sending out mo3's or not?

  • Oh wow :O I now have to beat the shit out of this band :D WOW WELL DONE CUNTS!

  • No!

  • Now, I like the Jam. But I also like McFly.

    But...

    Which is best?

    Theres only one way to find out...

    FIGHT!

  • class song, i do prefer the Jam's version though. but this is still good. :)

  • Would it be at all possible for you to send me the mp3? I adore this song! haha thanks for putting it up, either way!

  • this comment isnt nowhere near as good as the jam

  • haha jam are soo awesome...this cover is pretty good but i have to perfer the original... <3 mcfly

  • OMG asif! haha Love It (: x

  • I think all mcfly's covers are great :)

  • i just love them!!!

  • Mmm... that's a good version, to be honest! :D

  • this is a class song.

    its off teh radio:1 established 1987 or whatever year it was

    girls aloud also did Teenage dirtbag on it

    they were both ttly awesome!!!

    xxxx

  • 1987 HAHA

    nice

  • hmmm,

    like some Mcfly,

    like the jam,

    this is good but it doesn't sound right...good to see a modern day band knowning true music, kids of my generation have lost taste in music

  • i love this cover ^^

  • Mcflys old sound is similar to the Jonas Brothers sound now, their sound will grow and change as they get older just like mcflys have!

  • Sorry, but they will never be. McFly are unattainable for JB

  • @ceri15 That's so not true. The old mcfly is not to compare with the Jonas brothers in any year.

  • hehe this time u can really hear dougies bass :)

  • 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

  • umm they just did pull it off listen to the video

  • meh. jams version is better

  • Atleast McFly attempted to bring the song back into life! Long live McFly.

    Btw The jams version is off Billy Elliot if you havnt noticed just yet when he cant tap dancing down streets xD

  • thats song is nice :) x3

  • i love it brilliant cover of it gosh i love danny too much

  • ♥ Whole McFly + ♥Dougie♥ - Danny - Harry - Tom ♥

    ♫ So good ღ♥ღ

  • i doubt anything could be done to improve this song, but they certainnly didn't make it any worse

  • <3 i love McFLY!

  • does anyone have the mp3?

    xx

  • 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....

    Its a good book

  • love it!

  • Better than i expected, but not got that accent of the Jam

    Good Though

  • i love this <3

    I love Danny <3

  • I <3 The Jam! And McFly - Woooo.

  • The Jam originallysang this, well the drummer in the jam had a brother and that was my dads art teacher :D

  • I don't usually like Mcfly, but this cover is better than expected. They obviously liked the song enough to do it justice.

  • love this song

    don't mind if it's this version or the jam they're both brilliant

  • good attempt but the jam still do it better :)

  • I expected em to piss on its ashes, but y'know what? its actually quite good!!

  • good

  • has anyone got the mp3 for this

    plz plz plz!

  • ♥Whole McFly ♥Dougie♥,Danny,Harry,Tom♥

    ♫So good

  • i love the lyrics.

  • music is brilliant but vocals let it down..maybe i just cant get pauls distinct mod voice out my head but it just spoils it for me

  • sik cover!!

  • ♥Hole McFly ♥Dougie♥,Danny,Harry,Tom♥

  • Can i have the mp3 for this please x

  • MY FAVE SONG SANG BY MY FAVE BAND!:D

    what more could i ask for?

  • 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

  • Who has the bass tabs of this??

    I found in the internet but doesnt sound right.

    Errmmm

    GOOD COVER THO!!!

  • search for the jam's version perhaps? pretty sure its in the same key and that.

  • OH, yummmmmmmmm ♥

  • LIKE, OMJ,

    THIS IS ON THE BILLY ELLIOT MOVIE SOUNDTRACK.

    It's awesome =)

  • Yep. Not this version though; the one in the Billy Elliot film is by the Jam.

  • 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!

  • what movie???

  • "Billy Elliot" ...you know, the boy that wanted to dance ballet, but in the movie this is sing by The Jam :P

  • 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 was for a cd called Radio 1 Established 1967

    it was celebrationg Radio 1's 40th birthday

  • This is really good *_*

    for all their covers, I always think their versions are way better :D

  • hahahaha me too

  • this is ok but the origanal is better in my opinion

  • 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.

  • love mcfly<3

  • they sang this song brilliant!

    and i dont care wha anyone says

    cuz mcfly are the best!

    the most talented band in the world!

    i luvvv them!

    xxkerryxx

  • 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.

    You guys did yourselves proud.

  • I love them there amazing.

  • the bass line in this song is amazing

  • yeah me to!!! it gets me in such a good mood every time!!! x

  • 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:

  • no effence but the orignal version is the best

  • i love this. bustarudeboy needs a life tbh.

  • If u hate mcfly so much then why watch the video at all ?

    dick

  • pretty good these boys can play

  • i heard this in pac sun in NY i was sooooooo happy!!!!

  • well good! decent cover!

  • not as good as the original but its good

  • bustarudeboy, you clearly have far too much time on your hands

    and yeah, i kinda like the cover

    about as good as the original in my book

  • i wanted to think this covor was shite

    but i actually like it :D

    nice one Mcfly

  • Mcfly Are Awsome

    I Luvv The Jam , And No Cover can ever beat the oringinal , but this comes pretty close! , sayin that most mcfly covers do =)

    Luvv Mcfly <3 x

  • could i pleasee have the mp3??

    my emial is-  lil_zenno_gal[at]hotmail[dot]c­om

  • theyre not insulting them, they obviuosly like the song so much that they wanna do a version too...

  • oh bloodyhell bustarudeboy

    how do you know no1 will cover mcfly?

    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.

  • get a life bustarudeboy

    mcfly rock this planet

    i love this song!!!!!!

    GO MCFLY!!!!

  • oh really!!!?? they r a very alented band and they def arent annoying!! u r 4sure!!

  • 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 !

  • 5 - 12 year olds?! well everyone i know thats mcfly fans are my age [16] and older! =]

    no, the jam arent together anymore cos there was probably no point, if mcfly can still get number 1's then that means people like them! =]

    and if you dont like mcfly why are you watching this video?!

  • This is definately the best mcfly cover, they should sing this live soemtime, it'd be wicked

  • this mcfly cover is better than the original and i never thought i would find myself saying that. usually covers are shit

  • better than the original?? no way!

    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!!

  • hahah is that what you call me? hahahahah

  • Love the song!! /Amanda, Miriam, Caroline and little joanna
