[fckfanforever1]

[patrick43215]

@fckfanforever1 rachel haden, she did backing vocals for a few songs on bleed american and toured with them for a bit in 2001, she was never actually part of the band

[TheHappinessHell]

the band is the best jimmy eat world forever!

[MrOdieoconnor]

hahahaha people are really getting hostile over this song, i think we should all just turn it up and enjoy

[IamLisaYo]

@MrOdieoconnor True that

[Shredliving]

upload upload!!!! XD

[cyrcles00]

This is my favorite song right now. I would willingly rape anyone that said that it sucked. If you think it sucks, message me. It will happen.

[melloncollieromance]

@cyrcles00

How do you unwillingly rape someone?

[cyrcles00]

@melloncollieromance lol my apologies, my brother tends to get on youtube while i'm still logged in =/

[rickman33]

I like how people call each other morons, but then they present incorrect information.

It's JAMC Automatic (not JMC), and that's a reference to Jesus and Mary Chain's album "Automatic".

[jewbybrother579]

whats with the dude dressed as a chick?

[IamLisaYo]

@jewbybrother579 Are we being sarcastic?

[jewbybrother579]

@IamLisaYo no. at first i honestly thought it was a dude. I don't really follow the band.

[IamLisaYo]

@jewbybrother579 Oh. haha. =p

[Tapicero111]

@jewbybrother579 hahaha thats fucked

[chandeliermuseings]

They are referencing both the Jesus and Mary Chain and John Mellecamp

[PeckerAtAllSaints]

sounds shit live

[TheFourGuysVideo]

@PeckerAtAllSaints when did shit mean better?

[recordjnky]

what a boring freaking band to watch live.....ugh!!!

[lulustylosa]

ke merda che sono live!!! sta canzone è stupenda in studio ma live fa cagare

[DaeronMaxedOut]

i thought the people in jimmy eat world was young

[ericmsandoval]

@DaeronMaxedOut Nope. That's one of the reasons I really dig Jimmy Eat World. They've been around for a long time...and quite frankly, they were way ahead of their time! Terrific band.

[kaius3]

i didnt realise the goup was made by older people i thought it was like late teens

[jasiek612]

old? jiimy eat world is more than 13 yrs, :D

[Degalf]

is there an acoustic version of this song? thought i have listend to one recently on internet radio?!

[Ocredin]

Ya...was just listening to it when I got an impulse to hear this ^_^ You can download it on that media archive site. I love Rachel Hayden's input on that acoustic...gives me goosebumps!

[9FORDIE9]

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere is the album version????? someone pleeeeeese

[Boothbaby86]

give me your e.mail adress I could send it if you want;-)

[ecdm311]

You should be ashamed of yourself. Buy the album and you'll have the version.

[Jonny120205]

HMV, Tower, most independent record stores and of course internet stores, the album is called Bleed American or Jimmy Eat World. You wont regret it!

[Shredliving]

Why is it that no one on youtube has the album version of this song?

[Boothbaby86]

i got it

[9FORDIE9]

please upload it

[vpacheco94]

[ISAAC7DG]

esta cancion esta padre es un de las que mas me gustan (mexicano te saluda (the jimmy))

[jersonpo02]

even with low tune hes singing is the same. the girl doesnt look lively

[allendown]

i think they playied it on a different key

i like it on a lower one but anyway this song s great

[Yvantes]

for some reason this song makes me sad sometimes. i donno why though. maybe the lyrics. am i alone with this? :/

[Scarlettexashes]

It must have been a while into the concert, they look like theyre tired, haha. I still love them though and this is by far one of my favorite songs

[roxychick678]

they're freakin awesome!

[allendown]

jim fuckin rules on the guitar

[borisboos]

His singing is also the fucking shit :d:d

he's the best x3

[flameypoo]

fuck off!

they mention his version in the song asshole and there a lot of bands who have song titles that are the same

for example carousel. blink182 and linkin park both have songs called carousel

and do you know how many bands have songs called don't leave me or untitled? a lot so shut the fuck up

[Takingbacksunday02]

yea but their version is better so u can fuck john mellencamp

[GreatDarkSpot]

He was John Cougar Mellencamp when he wrote that song, ignoramus.

[azelsyklone]

Jimmy Eat World are fans of John Mellencamp. This song is about their love for music of the past. When they say "JMC Automatic" their talking about John Cougar Mellencamp. They didn't "steal" anything, this song is an homage. Try knowing what your talking about before presenting an opinion. In this case your ignorance has made you look like a complete and utter moron.

[ley137]

@azelsyklone I actually thought they were referring to JAMC. The Jesus and Mary Chain's album Automatic. An amazing album.

[DannyBragg]

@ley137 no, you are correct...

[therookie93]

@azelsyklone yeah they didnt steal anything but this beat is very similar to JMC's small town. It's not stealing though like you said, I honestly think its awesome!

[DannyBragg]

@azelsyklone They're actually refering to THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN album titled AUTOMATIC.

[KelAuceNew]

@azelsyklone

Errm, they're singing about The Jesus and Mary Chain.

[MobiusG3]

@azelsyklone I thought it was JAMC Automatic, a reference to Jesus and Mary Chain and their album Automatic

[2STJohnson]

@azelsyklone I know I'm way late and am sure you know this by now, but it's not JMC, but JAMC Automatic, and it refers to the Jesus and Mary Chain album Automatic.

[dufortrph]

@azelsyklone JMC does not stand for John Cougar Mellencamp. Because that would be retarded -- it would be John Mellencamp Cougar. Why don't you think before typing a comment. It stands for Jesus and Mary Chain, who released both "Automatic" and "What Goes On". Thus, the song makes sense. I hope I did not use any big words that confused you. Call your mom down to the basement, maybe she'll explain it to you.

[somepunkinchicago]

@azelsyklone JMC Automatic is a reference to Jesus and Mary Chain's "Automatic."

[astroSDC]

@azelsyklone the line is "JAMC Automatic" which is a reference to the album 'Automatic' by The Jesus and Mary Chain (JAMC). The whole line is "JAMC Automatic. The DJ never has it" - he is obviously talking about the album.

[luffdog94]

@azelsyklone dude i totally agree, but jmc isnt john cougar mellencamp's initials

[LionsTigersAndTrouts]

@azelsyklone "JMC Automatic" refers to the album, "Automatic", by The Jesus and Mary Chain. There's absolutely no correlation with John Thundercougarfalconbird Mellencamp.

[forreforre]

they're mentioning John Mellencamp in the song cleverboy. maybe as an homage rather than a ripoff.

[GimmeYourCookies]

<3<3<3!!

[rainydayze]

thanks for posting!

[DavieW1]

do people realise that there is supposed to be female backing vocals in this song? goin by some of the comments they have no fuckin clue. but thats always the way with opinions, those who have no idea tend to voice em a bit more. god i hate retards who start bitchin about a class song like this actin like they know what it is supposed to be/sound like.

[boobear1121]

haha yeah i dont think they even listen to the CD cuz its perfectly obvious that there are female harmonies in there 2, but people like what the original sounds like then live... gay lol i love this song!

[silentbob36]

Well they need a girl to sing the "do i?" bit so stop the bitching

[Fallen2121]

Adkins is kind of singing a little tired..

[lcbonisch]

the vocal harmony throughout the whole song makes it so good. if that chick was not there, then the song would sound a little empty!!

[KERRO17]

Fairly sure that "keyboard chick" is rachael hadden, from "that dog"?? She plays keyboard and sings on the album (plus for a shit load of other similar bands)...which is kind of why she's there.....way to be observant!

[popbeforepoetry]

It occurs to me that some people don't buy albums any more, so it's possible they haven't actually heard this song straight from the record...which is sad I'm sure if they had, they would realize Rachel recorded the original with the band, and it's actually a treat to see a show with her backing them, since she rarely tours. I've only seen her show up for Southern California dates.

[tomcasper]

She's with The Rentals now. Give them a look, they're fronted by Matt Sharp, Weezer's original bassist.

[Aimzinian]

i agree. -nods head-

(y)

[Aimzinian]

yup, if u like.

[shiimmy]

Gotta love it.
