Foo Fighters - You're So Vain Live @ Grammys Nomination 2008

[vanKaaps]

Ein Scheiss Lied, und das Original ist noch viel schlechter.

Aber ungeachtet dessen, auch die Foo Fighters sind keinen Cent wert !

Fazit: Weghören !!

[UkkoA]

@vanKaaps, und du musste es unbedingt hören und kommentieren?

[rim666ify]

Fasterpussy Cat did this so much better, these guys suck!



[PGROSYE02]

@rim666ify hair metal sucks, get a damn job and stop living in the 80's.

[egolandia69]

A big shit

[1pootown]

chocolate starfish version is better

[jram1912]

Well first time that I hear this cover I never imagine Foo Fighters singing a Carly Simon song but is not bad

[indieprocess]

love this song so much..and love it more that my fave band Foo Fighters covered it.

[jagfug]

sesseeges, all of yuou

[quincee33]

Great cover!

[FORWARDxHExCRIED]

check out FASTER PUUSYCAT's version of this song!!!!

[mortyaddams]

Brill-love it



[ItsGoTimeBroski]

@JPAdmiralsNumber1 FFFFFFFFFUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKK YYYYYOOOOOOOUUUUUUU

[therealdavewhalen]

imagine if kurt didnt die, and encouraged dave with his song writing and every foo's song was released as nirvana songs...

[lepperlegend]

@therealdavewhalen i dont think it will the same foo fighters is a great band in all parts.

[Oakshield2]

'All the girls wishing DAVE be your partner'

LoL

[PeterJacksonFilms]

Just me who thinks this cover is for Courtney Love?! :D

[Suka00]

@PeterJacksonFilms she assumes every hateful FF song is about her lol

[joalallan1]

@PeterJacksonFilms bad cover cant sing check out we stealflers far better band

[kidhines]

@PeterJacksonFilms yes I do but I still love her

[shay33ish]

This is a pretty good cover! However, it is not Carly, but it still is good!

[Suka00]

20 people figured out this song wasnt about them :(

[tryby12]

is he singing about a man in his life?

[JPAdmiralsNumber1]

Glad Kurt Cobain died!!

now we have Foo Fighters!

GOOOOOOOOOO LIMOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[DownPoor]

@JPAdmiralsNumber1

I agree that Foo Fighers are a legend! and they wouldn't be here if Kurt hadn't died. But the way Kurt Cobain died, was horrific. People close to him, lived daily with the way he died, and are overcominig it, including Grohl. Think about it, should you be glad about his death?... Be Glad about, what he offered to the world with his music.

[jwdub75]

All the girls, wished that they'd be partner.

[gerdeg]

Anybody wondering about why they played this song at the Grammy Awards? Feel the message,.,.

[TheRenaissancePen]

hAhA. DP/kc

[curicica15]

Kurt Cobain would kicking asses if he was as the vocalist!

[DigitalBeaver]

Awesome!!! Why won't they release this version on iTunes, it rocks!

[TheNokia1974]

awful

[hiekkasuu]

faster pussycat version is much better!

[DWINC]

love foo fighters, but this ain't good

[davidrossjr]

great cover

[MyDexter91]

I.Just.Love.It!!!!!!

[vkuso88]

Uhhh not sure what to make of this cover...

[kcufmalsi]

This guy is fucking amazing.... The late suicider could never fill this guys shoes.

[fagenabler85]

This cover rocks!!

[tsukashigiro]

faster pussycat version is much more better

[mentelyunstable]

... where can we download this song?

[marcelotui]

Carly Simon the best song

[saintsjf]

This song was first covered by a local Aussie band in the early 90's called Chocolate Starfish which in my opinion was the best. (FF version is alright)

Check it out for yourself by doing a search for Chocolate Starfish in You Tube and play the clip from the Tonight Live Show.

[JimmyDFFD]

this is totally INCREDIBLE! best version, it must be

[JulioGlamAraya]

Good cover!

listen to Faster Pussycat version

[vivalafoofighters8]

the jonas brothers all looked at each other like "shit. we'll never be as awesome or as talented as foo fighters. we're such pussies."

[koolkory8]

they totally made this song a Foo Fighters song. LOVE DAVID GROHL!

[gna4ever]

Actually it was confirmed that she wrote this about Warren Beatty. And it was never written for Mick Jager! He sang the back-up vocals on the original track!

[Cosuin]

@gna4ever Carly Simon, to this day, has never confirmed who she wrote the song about. She insists on keeping it secret.

[gna4ever]

@Cosuin Uh no, she actually did acknowledge that the song was a little bit about Warren Beatty in an interview. And Warren has said many times he knows the song is about him....but honestly who cares, all that matters is that it's an awesome song!

[Cosuin]

@gna4ever She was interviewed on VH1 a few months ago and explicitly denied to reveal who the song was about. That's what I'm going on.

[janeensuitsup]

fyi this song is about everyone..

[metallicadoug]

I'm pretty sure this song is about James Taylor.

[7poof]

I love this song only like this by foo fighters

[captainbeyond2012]

david geffin

[TheReyn1]

When Carly Simon did the song originally it was about Mick Jager.

[frednbarn]

@TheReyn1 No it was about Warren Beatty... she went out with him when she was a starlet. Well thats the Urban myth any who..

[assmane999]

@frednbarn: I think it's just about all vain and narcicisitic people in general. It doesn't have to be about one particular person. The original lyric was inspired by a guy walking into a party who continually looked at a mirror in the room to primp and groom himself. And, it can apply to anyone like him.

[mrobinson9896]

@joeaszt As far as I'm aware, the song was originally written about Warren Beatty. I'm not certain it's ever been confirmed.

[BenjaminPillagevane9]

FASTER PUSSYCAT

[Rownery]

It's funny, I think he might of done this as a joke

[NYWright07]

I'm not surprised that i'm impressed. Just like I wanted to be. Foo Fighters are a really great band and this is an awesome song. Thank you to both

[UBTUNE]

Orchestra is good , singer no, has no class. Sorry.

[joeaszt]

Who's this song about?

[JimdellaCanapa]

How dare you ...it' about ME!

[Suka00]

im trying to figure out who does the high pitch "ur so vain" back up part...

[joeaszt]

@Suka00  the drummer, Taylor Hawkins does the high pitched "ur so vain" in the back.

[fairmaidendee]

different

[beatkeeper63]

idiots....she wrote the song about James Taylor after their breakup Huge fan of FF, and this isn't a bad rendition...but I prefer their originals!!!!

[LyndyLoo64]

This is a brilliant cover of a brilliant song by a brilliant group! Dave Grohl is the sexiest ever ;-)

[rockmaster72]

I just lost alot of respect for these guys they screwed up an good song.

[PAULLONDEN]

INfuckingDEED....this makes no bloody sense @ ALL.....oh whell...what next will these bored miljonairs come up with ?

a metalled up version of Rickie Lee Jones' Chuck E ???

[alacran5]

Yeah. This suck.

[dowhatthouwilt911]

I never thought that I would utter these words in my lifetime: Faster Pussycat did it better

[whatthefuckbenj]

great cover!

[deathiscoming]

Why, exactly, is this horrible? Because Dave's NOT Carly Simon?

[PAULLONDEN]

Why....? are you deaf(d) already ?death obviously came at your door.

[christian1127]

They destroy many great songs, but  do sound nice when they sing their own songs. This is really suck ass, I don't care what generation I'm in

[Zizzicut]

Wow.. this is horrible

[bengiiema]

my mum loves this song and foo fighters :) :) :P

[hartelyhare]

Greatest...Cover...Ever

[javajen19]

Why in the HELL are they singing this! They are destroying a great song! Eeek!

[cotatijsk]

It's walkin' onto a yacht. Walkin into a yacht coukd hurt.

[jlbsr1959]

good cover

[PURPLEBEATTIE1]

Good version.Enjoyable.

[1969Dudeman]

Carly wrote this song about Mic Jagger, who was actually kind enough, "Ironically" to sing backup vocals on the original recording.

[dupreslavafan77]

@1969Dudeman Actually, Carly has never revealed the person that the song is about. It was rumored that the song is about Mick Jagger, but in a 1983 Washington Post Interview, Carly said that it is not about Mick Jagger. The song has also been rumored to be about Warren Beatty. Eventually we will know who it is about, because Carly periodically releases a letter of the subject's name.

[kmarkymark]

@1969Dudeman she denies it was jagger

[LordGandor3]

Now they`re reporting it was about David Geffen. I always thought it was about Assmaster Warren Beatty

[judidenchh]

TO ALL ASKING ABOUT DOWNLOAD - just go to tubemusicdownload com for it =]

[norrisonthespot]

Love the guitar solo!

[goofypet]

Awesome Cover!!!!

[1993jmills]

i think this is an amazing cover

where can i download this version?

[vincentpd001]

did anyone ever respond about where to download? i'd like it too and can't find it....thanks

[HILARIO977]

What's this shit compared to Carly Simon original version... Common guys... Music died in 1989...

[Bansheeeyes78]

A really good version, though Carly's 1973 classic version will always be # 1.

[AJollyGoodFelon]

I'm pretty sure this song is about me.

[Hoangalicious1412]

Don't you don't u?

[thetruerock]

@AJollyGoodFelon Nah man it's all about me and my puppy.

[pandamaec]

@AJollyGoodFelon

your so vain

[rocknrolla12992]

@AJollyGoodFelon you too? aahha 

[Coverjobs]

@AJollyGoodFelon no way man, there clearly talking about me...quit being so vain...

[centuryrox]

I like Foo Fighters, but this type of song doesn't really fit them. Besides, nobody can touch Carly Simon's version (not that they were trying to do that). I give them an A+ for effort on a song that's rather buried in the history of music. Perhaps it might turn younger people on to some of the great music of the early 1970s.

[spazmoso]

not as good as baker street but still cool to hear a new spin on the music i heard while cruisin in my parents car

[MWR93]

listen to the spoof of this titled "You're So Vague" by Queens Of The Stone Age, they only took one line from it but its way better than the original by far

[echeesekid]

rofl how stupid

[EneGeBe]

FOO FIGHTERS RULE!!!!!!!

This is no Carly Simon, but still, there's no need to compare it!

Dave Grohl rules!!!!!

GREAT VERSION OF THIS SONG!!!!

BEAUTIFUL!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Thank you!

[guerrillajack]

@EneGeBe you should check out 'the white stripes" version of 'jolene' by dolly parton... if you do try to find the live version, it has far more emotion than the studio version..

[baxterdefaoite]

cool! very edgey rework.... i like the roughness & toughness they add to the already gritty lyrics

[maxewiii]

I LOVE FF but this is pretty bad when you compare it to Carly Simon.

[chrisgellroy]

I guess, it all would make more sense, that you would appreciate it a bit more if you were from the circa.......when many songs were rebelling and uplifting womens rights, when 14 year old boys wore speedos cause of Mark Spitz, now go buy you self to death on Black Friday.. You dont understand the essence rare, you simply cannot think out of the box, cause you were not there, back in the woods were all the spent glue tubes were littering the ground floor.

[hollyblmt]

Oh this is terrible. YUCK

[dik2604]

I love FF, but this song doesen't fit their style, his voice and this tempo. Also the lyrics sounds wierd sang by a man.

It's still way better than the faster pussycat's version.

[mireah]

This song doesn't always sound weird sung by a man. Listen to John Barrowman singing it.

I don't mind this version, I just don't think this is the best FF can do.

[mireah]

Had never heard of 'faster pussycat' damn, didn't they just massacre this song? Reminded me of trying to find the remote so I could mute Jedward and their attempts at singing in the X-Factor.

[freakyfrankie666]

it is actually illegal to be mean to dave grohl, you should all be aware of this *serious face* :P

[soulseek1111]

This is so awfull. Faster Pussycat is so much better.

[HelloMarco]

This sucks.

[exussupremebeing]

luv this band, but also love simon carly, and they did'nt do justice here, so i agree...

[SpaceLordMother9000]

beats faster pussy cats version by far

[annekb1111]

But this song is...

[uglydermis]

grate cover !

[SKiZiTy]

foo fighters went up to saratoga n there horse nataully won

[rabelloerick]

Ele sempre falava que gostava dessa música desde a época do Nirvana. Muito bom!

[civitaslux]

You're everything but vain, Dave. And nobody does it better...

[ekanefan]

i actually really like this.

[wwicked1]

love FF like the song.... not together though!

[wwicked1]

y they do it

[thejetshowlive]

GOD im glad there are SOME young ppl out there with some TASTE! I do enjoy this just for the sheer ROCK...SO MUCH better then Faster Pussy Cats version.

[GATTY52905]

Dave - I love you

[nathanielcascini]

this song doesn't fit his voice very well- or vice versa. I do enjoy that he sang it though.

[nrwhite6325]

they did a pretty good job with this. I was wondering if he would change the lyrics to fit a guys point of view but he kept it as-is. I think some more girls doing the background part would have worked better, but all in all it's good.

[offthewall85]

odd to see Chris playing a Telecaster, the foos (excluding nate) almost exclusively use gibson/epiphone instruments.

[cool12433]

It is rare to see Nate use anything but fender

[gunsnrosesromance123]

faster pussycat kicks ass covering this song!

[MatBalix]

I'm 19; prefer the original song of Carly Simon;is not bad the homework of the foo fighters,but the young peole of today don't need a rock-remake of old songs like this;I prefer the original

[masuraotitan27]

the foos could have hit the song in acoustic form if they wanted too... thats something i would look forward to...

[Sinlexs]

I have never heard of this song. I have every album by them too. WTF but its a good song I got to say

[aneela01]

it's a cover of carly simon

[Sinlexs]

Ha ya I figured that out a few minutes after I commented

[gm987]

It is a cover of Carly Simon's popular song 'You're So Vain' from 1972.

[gm987]

nevermind youtube's crappy comment system didn't show that you already had an answer :-(

[luigihope]

This is plain awesome

[JetsfanfromFL]

Does anyone know where you can get an mp3 of this?

[dunskie]

Like the Foo's but this is just awful.

[leanda27]

bout the only rock violin cover i can find of this song- thanks dave

[ILLUMANOV]

I PLAY IT IN C SHARP MINOR

[brutussteel]

dave grohl needs to create a black hole that will destroy the jonas brothers

[everlong514]

haha i love the ending were they show the jonas brothers... ahha i cracked up!

[fundies2]

yikes, all i can say is...yikes!

[BrandyRoxsMySox]

As usual...the Foo Fighters KICK ASS!!!!! Very nice cover!

[gregcarrsaved]

How come there are around 100 covers of this classic plus about two dozen live versions but not one of the original. Mick Jagger sang backing vocals on it. Keep sharing the music.

[jimdandysback]

Mick sang on the originall45 rpm, i still got it. (i hope)

[gregcarrsaved]

I had the original 45 but have long since lost it. I ahve to settle for the mp3 now :-)

[Aranya543]

awesome

[kevthedrummer]

I love the foos, but they should have keyed it down a bit so he could attempt to sing it.

[clintonlies]

interesting twist on a classic I give it 5 stars....

[txlastrebel]

WTF awful this sucks. Singer sucks.

[clsleamington]

Weirdly the start of this version sounds like "Band on The Run" which I think they also covered!

[romanticsheep]

It's awful!!!!!!!!! An impudence to cover such a legendary song! He doesn't have a voice at all...the only thing he does is scream...no emotions anyway!! Simply ridiculous!

[2JacksonMay99]

I like it :)

[thejonhendricks]

the crowd doesn't look like they're feeling it.

[smoot0420]

im ready to stick sharpened pencils in my ears

[Kmac5897]

please do and rid us of your stupidity for music..

[Jckf01]

Yeah, I love this song..

[Eclipse918]

This is so much better than the original, its ridiculous

[Kmac5897]

I think it's pretty cool introducing this song into the rock genre... I like it. 8/10

[chilehermoso]

this suck listen faster pussycat cover..exelent

from chile

[manontheroad]

dude that cover sucks...they tried 2 make this song metal and its nowhere near being metal. this is a laid back song and foo fighters did a way better job. atleast they kept it in the same genre

[fdalkjfdsalkj]

you're so vain...... you perform a shitty hair metal cover of "you're so vain"

[Eclipse918]

You really think that the Foo Fighters are hair metal?? Are you kidding me?

[1foofighter606]

the foos arn't hair metal, dumb shit

[moozikluvr]

foo fighters, great group, original ideas. this? NOT!!!

[brady3xsbchampion]

This absolutely rocks. I wish I could get it on a disc.

[spicychilepepper]

it's a little weird to have a guy sing this, but i kinda like it

[SleepyBoBos]

I love the Foos but this was a self indulgent pile of steaming crap

[password2466]

Love the FOO - but why did they attempt this song - they killed it
