  • Why WHY this song is too short ? ;(

  • Is that a Yamaha acoustic guitar? and yeah, rubber thumbs up for the gloves! :D

  • @tomichaubg It's a Martin

  • cool mask.

  • cool costume. keep it up jack!

  • Jack: "NATALY! Check out this mask I bought."

    Nataly: "Why... why did you buy that?"

    [silence]

    Jack: "I'm doing an 'E.T.' cover! Yeah! For that!"

  • i love the mask

  • donde consiguieron la mascara

    ??????

  • donde consiguieron la mascara

  • Please tell me Katy Perry has seen this.

  • i heard katy perry made a cover of this

  • Better than the original I think....

  • What the fuck did I just watch?

  • @Moshikashitenai

    The best cover of this song. Your welcome! :D

  • @himl994 Yeah it was kinda cool, not really my style though

  • Why is this guy not huge? O.o

  • hell yeah! you use record?

  • i want the damn mask!! haa

  • this just reminds how you insane jack is :')

  • If this had the boobs of katy perry it would be the best thing ever made

  • all I can say is...where in the world did you find that head gear?

  • thats a sick alien mask

  • thats right alien rock the fuck out of the symbol!

  • If the original song was anywhere near this amazing, I might have actually liked it.

  • Has the alien probed Katy Perry?

  • I've watched this more than I've heard the original

  • @mattdot666 The original doesn't deserve it's 106 million views on the VEVO channel. >:(

  • @mattdot666 um... same... I've never looked at the original- it's katy perry XD 

  • @mattdot666 I can see why. And can safely say the same thing.

  • Can someone please explain to me how I can replicate these synths sounds?

  • @WoWanate Havent played with synths for a while.. Low pass filter, slow attack, quick decay and a slight pitch bend on the release. Prolly with portmento/glide on too.

  • I would love to have a .gif of the alien playing the cymbal.

  • Wow Jack, You rock the glockenspiel!

  • My god this is 100x better than the original. Mostly because it's all instrumental but whatever... I wish this were longer!

  • Alien puts on his human gloves to play the piano.

  • The alien was given a choice: House cleaning or playing music. I'd say it chose well....

  • @BloomRiba Scream 4 is a module in Reason.

  • hahhahah AWESOME!!!

    

  • Dude, I have to say, 10 thousand times better than the original melody!! Really loved that work!

  • OMG that was like the funniest thing ive ever seen !!!!! NOT

    

  • this would be even better if you added a little dub in it... :D

  • Far Out! Loved it!

  • make a longer version plox :(

  • wow, never knew you use reason.

  • Someone just created the new best genre of music

    Alien Techno Pop

  • I love this! It's vaguely reminiscent of your older songs, with the sound clips of the drums, which I absolutely adore. Keep up the good covers, Jack! :)

  • Wow! This is SICK! Love it!

  • i like this better than Katy Perry's song

  • friggin' loved this. haha

  • Christ. What programs does Skream 4 work with? That thing is a monster!

  • jack, you should dip your fingers into some dubstep

  • @binge1011 I think he just did

  • @binge1011 He is to creative to make dubstep.

  • @binge1011 Why? Dubstep doesn't require talent to make. A fantastic artist like Jack would be wasting his time on dubstep.

  • ..... haha what

  • very cool! love it!

  • i would kill myself right now if i was katy perry

  • i want the song to be longer :(

  • AWSOME SONG!

    AMAZING VIDEO!!

    and above all, this guy is an AwS0Me "ETD"... (Extra-Terestrial-Dancer!) X)

  • Where did all his views go? Doesn't he have way more subscribers?

  • Is that downhill mountain bike gear, or hockey gear?

  • @anonymoussays bike

  • awesome!

  • Reason mate. What a great MIDI program :)

  • I'm loving the dance bro

  • Hey Jack. Can you do a video someday of you making a tune? Like how you invent all those sounds and make them into a song?

  • Thank you for not singing those terrible lyrics! I love your cover.

  • Please abduct me.

  • Jack Conte is enchanting... I can´t believe how much genius fits into one person! Love you Jack, you´re a big inspiration! <3

  • I don't remember "wierd alien dancemoves" being in the definition of a videosong. You added to the script there, Jack?

  • sickest thing i have seen all day! musicians and aliens turn me on so this is just an explosion of awesomeness

  • This is how the original should've been done.

  • lindoooo

  • This isn't a very we just broke upy video... Maybe they're okay?

  • Jack the alien is more human than Jack!

  • This.... wasn't that good. Normally Jack has the ability to turn shitty songs into greatness when he covers them, but I guess the level of shittiness of the original was just too much to account for.

  • @Zer00Sum Check out Lauren King's version of this song - on a different tack to Jack but def turned shittiness to greatness imho, "lauren king et" in the YouTube search box should find it. No video as such but you only need to listen to it !

  • @GarJaMi Ehhh..... Jack's version is better.

  • Finally found your excuse to wear your giant Alien head I see.

  • sufjan stevens cover would be amazing!!!!!

  • This is so bad ass... i can't get over it.

  • awesome!???

  • This is great! Jack, do you have to deal with long render times in Final Cut when working with HD video? Thanks in advance for your response and keep the videosongs-a-comin'! :)

  • good job jack

    awesome!

  • I'm gonna ask my family to play this video/song on my funeral :D

  • I love you.

  • I also did a cover. Not quite as experimantal thjough

    Check it out on my channel

  • Now we need a mashup with this and the one that Louis and Genevieve did!

  • Why the alien is Grey?

  • Супер!!!!!!!

  • He didn't Moonwalk, so it didn't happen.

  • It's a good look for you.

  • 0:19 LULZ

  • that mask is fucking creepy

  • I wanna a mask like that!!!

  • Nice this is awesome

  • Hey! Great cover! May I ask what that yellow 'lo-fi drums' plugin is called? I've googled it and can't seem to find it :/ Any help would be great =D

  • I personally want to hear the alien sing.

  • nice use of reason!

  • I'd love to hear you remix some Imogen Heap song. This kind of reminded me a bit of some other remixes of her stuff, but you always do better remixes/mashups than the vast majority. =3

  • Only Jack could make me like this song. Whilst wearing Nataly's leggings.

  • Do u have an endorsement deal with Propelerhead or something???

  • pretty sweet, man.

  • This is easily my new favorite of your songs man, you have some serious talent.

  • HAHA! This video made my day :) You are a genius!

  • Awesome dance :D

  • SOFTWARE!

  • That is one epic mask you got there. where on earth did you find it?

  • @darkmagic1701 what mask?

  • more original songs!!! waayy better"

  • Man, somehow you've even managed to make a Katy Perry song good!

  • your music and video editing is so amazing. Love it

  • The end breakdown is funky!

  • Weird!

    At least people won't comment about your hair or beard. I think you made a good point, weather you meant to or not. It's not about how you look, it's about what you do.

    Hope you guys are having fun!

  • I love how the alien somehow gets human hands when playing the piano.

  • @FourthDay

    And when playing the guitar.

  • See, now the song doesn't have the same racist tone as before now that it's being done by the proper race. Alien that is. WOOT!

  • Loved it Jack, awesome job!

  • You know you're a fan when the dude puts on a costume and you can still recognize his mannerisms when he's banging on the symbol, bass drum, etc.

    Conte-itus. watch out for it! =)

  • Wow.... This made my day.

  • With the help of HUMAN HANDS!

  • does Nat know you wear her leggings? lol

  • I bet Katy would love this!

  • That was.... an awesome alien, damn these skills :D

  • Nice mooves! Go Jack the Alien!

  • all your base are belong to us

  • best dance ever at 0:19

  • I haven't heard the original version of this song so I'm just going to pretend this was it.

  • I do hope when you put these songs together and release them on iTunes you'll get the acapella for this and mix it in.....

  • jack needs to do some dubstep

  • LOL!! Best dance moves ever.

    

  • You should definitely keep making full length, original songs. I know you've got to be spreading yourself thin, trying to compose a song, make AND edit a vid every week, while at the same time keeping up with pomplamoose and original stuff. We really appreciate it!

  • Luis and Geneve did this just before Jack. Did you know you guys were doing it at the same time?

  • Freaking great mask!

  • I KNEW IT!! Jack Conte is the last of the Asguard!!!

  • That's explains his mad skills!

  • You're not fooling anyone! Thats no alien...I'd recognize those Jack Conte drumming motions anywhere! Awesome!

  • 0:53 Jack's Diarrhea face:D

  • Reppin that Reason!!

  • That just scared the shit outta me.

  • that mask is pimp lol

    

  • we are sex bob-omb!

  • i was expecting him to sing. oh wellz! still pure greatness.

  • Next album: Electronica, Technoesque stuff like this, please. I love everything you do, with its jazzy flavor or orchestral mixes, but a bit of space-age badassery to get me pumped would be wonderful. Even "instrumentals only" would suffice!

  • Aww, he looks so sad at the end.

  • ....It sounds good. I don't remember what the original song sounded like, and I don't really care to. Not because I hate Katy Perry and all things mainstream like a lot of people seem to hate, but mostly because...I don't remember liking the song.

    But this is good. Even if I can't recognize the music as Katy Perry's.

  • MOAR ALIEN! We are sex-bob-omb!

  • Please do a scott pilgrim "we are sex bob-omb" cover! It would be awesome!

  • @TankShock087 I think any of the sex bob-omb songs would sound good (We Are Sex Bob-Omb, Threshold, Summertime, and Garbage Truck)

  • @TankShock087 Oh My God Yes!!!!!!!!!

  • @TankShock087 that is actually a really good suggestion. nice work.

  • @TankShock087 I dunno - they usually take crappy songs and make them good. That one's already pretty sweet. That said, I still gave this comment a thumbs up :P

  • Awesome alien costume, but I still don't care for this song in any of it's current incarnations.

  • What's with you and Louis and Genevieve both posting remixes of Katy Perry's E.T. both in the same week?!

  • Oh my gosh, Long Long Time Ago next week :D

  • i appreciate taking the time to take screens of the mixing software

  • You turn some stupid mainstream song I hate into something interesting. I'd like to see something different like from Radiohead or something along those lines I guess. It would be interesting to see how you go about it.

  • @JohnTheFaun Have you already seen his covers of The National Anthem and Exit Music (mash-up with Chopin)? It's kind of some of his early work and it's really great

  • @VLTV Oh? No, I'll take a look. Thank you.

  • Hey Jack, that shot at 0:07, did you move the camera both times or did you just Ken Burns pan it after recording both tracks?

  • i could definitely hear the dubstep influence in this cover-great job JACK!!!

  • b-b-but... I wanted a full version. D: freaking awesome, nevertheless

  • jack.... can you PLEASE cover something and put dubstep in it? haha PLEASE

  • I love that the alien is wearing marigolds :o)

  • THANKS A LOT JACK FOR THE MUSIK ALIEN, IS LIKE A RING TO MY FINGER.....BECAUSE A HAVE 39 YEAR TO STUDY "UFO & ET LIFE AT EARTH" THANKS AND MORE MORE. ANOTHER...ANOTHER ENCORE.....GREETINGS TO NATALY FROM MEXICO " SHALOOM 2012 !!!""

  • Hurry! Call the Doctor!!! Or LINDA! They could use a new band member...

  • Hell, those aliens sure knows how to make music! :)

    But seriously Jack, this music (and esp. the last beat with the references to other videos) is REALLY good - have you ever thought of making more electronic music (such as On Planets)? I think you're really onto something here - its not easy to find something smart and innovative in the electronic scene (i.e, the minimal techno genre)...

  • WHAT DID YOU DO WITH JACK?

  • i heard katy perry made a song about this

  • That figures the alienated sound he always generated ! finally he's out of the closet! LOL

    Great as always!
