It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine) - Great Big Sea - Lyrics ,

[TikanX]

Gonna play this at full blast on 21st of December.

[newfiemale25]

Its not as good as the Original (almost all covers aren't) But i like this one for the fact that its fast pace song, kinda goes well with it. Maybe those that don't like aren't a GBS fan to begin with or just can't keep up with the lyrics like they can with Original

[Drumms247]

Amen,

[starfoxlover1231]

omg this song brings back memories

[DerEchteBold]

what's that supposed to mean?

usually most wiki-data is nearly correct ;)

and it's not changed by now so there's no reason not to trust it

(unless you mean you faked it)

[Newgrillagain]

RockLover1203 got owned :P

[DerEchteBold]

@RockLover1203

i'm sorry to tell You this, but You're definitely wrong

This song was written by R.E.M in 1987

and (according to Wiki) the canadian band "Great Big Sea" was formed in 1991 (think they released this one in 97 or 98)

so, next time when You insult rude people, be sure to "better know your facts" (or even better than that - don't insult people at all, no matter how rude or stupid)

hope You learned something kid

Be Well

[techboy1111]

@DerEchteBold I'm glad you believe some random Wiki.

[TylerT15TheGamer2]

This sucks a cock compare to REM....Good job ruining shit guys

[DayzOfOurLolz]

@TylerT15TheGamer2 so if they ruined shit, you're saying the original was shit?

[guguedaniful]

[TheMusiclover262]

[hyspeses]

[KyrianaeWolfsbane]

New Years Eve 2011 and I'm listening to this song at 23:57 in England. Who else is listening to this or was at almost midnight tonight?

[tyb222]

@KyrianaeWolfsbane yup

[thunderstrike8888]

@KyrianaeWolfsbane Some people have things called "friends" or "family" or "alcohol" and had better things to do that sit at home and post on youtube, so to answer your question, pretty much no one

[PhatMikeTheVlogs]

this makes me wish to be canadian... but i didnt ask to be mexican... i just got lucky

[musicalfireprincess]

these guys make me proud to be Canadian.



[aquanette123]

Im so playing this in 2012 just for the hell of it. Blasting it in my house with all the windows open.

[PhatMikeTheVlogs]

@aquanette123 Same here XD

[Thirtyleven]

Come on Great Big Sea. You're just showing off now.

[VKRxBlindPainSkills]

xD This made me laugh :D

[filmfreak1993]

thumbs up if you tried to sing along but realised that it's impossible for normal human beings to do so.

Like this song :D

[TheMrdogoman]

@filmfreak1993 only if u r a mainlander . ya have to be from the east coast to sing this man lmao

[mormor1245]

@filmfreak1993 i can sing and im 100% human thank u very much

[DjeyDaye]

@filmfreak1993 Its even more impossible for me.. I'm french ! =D

[TamaTsuki21]

@filmfreak1993 i'm from Newfoundland and I don't know what they're getting on about XD

[DemonDancingDove]

It's rather sad that the year i graduate high school and go out into the world is the same year prophescised that the world will end. Coincidence? My friends don't think so.

[mattlove1]

@DemonDancingDove Don't worry about it. I'm a middle aged guy who lived through the end of the world several times already (The planetary allignment aka harmonic convergence, kohoutek, hale-bopp, Y2K, and that rapture that just came and went without inconveniencing anybody much) and I predict the next one will be a dud, too. But if you need something to make you feel bad, the world will endure, but in a hundred years you and I will be long gone and forgotten.

[TheMrdogoman]

@mattlove1 no truer words have been spoken man where u live i think u and i could have a beer and some laughs ........cheers

[shadowflick]

everytime i get a nuke on mw2/mw3, im playing this song through my mike(:

[zebra1067]

lol i tryed going along with the fast parts but its inpossible for me nless i have alot of energy

[Domadomapeanut]

does he breath?

[Exorcist116]

@Domadomapeanut I think they edited out the breathing. Unless he just took a huge gasp of air before he started singing :P

[dapizzanator]

@RowaLovesMusic

It's a 'stream of conscientiousness' song, where lyrics come from various places like dreams, TV, et cetera. That part regarding birthday parties was about a dream Stripe (Part of R.E.M., the original writers of the song) had about being at Lester Bangs' birthday party. He was the only one there whose initials weren't L.B., and that's where the names before that part (Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce, and Leonard Bernstein) came from.

[mikemikemikeW2]

Watching this on December 21st 2012 is like a boss

[IndigoElements]

Newfoundland ftw ;D

[kylechetcuti]

[mrminecraftsoyboy]

the 18 people that disliked are afraid of 2012

like this if you agree

[KyreouxOfEPIC]

I am going to stare straight out a window waiting for every single one of these things to happen when it's time, while listening to this song.

[ShammyWoWLoL]

US vs Iran War...starts the Nuclear War....GG

[BearyHairy]

Bloody outstanding!!!! Thank you so much for this version. Okay...Merci, too! Peace. Bear.

[Phantoro]

Damn Newfies, making the End of the World sound so awesome.

[dommi9877]

Newfoundland Song- that's why is so fast because Newfoundlander s speak really fast. I am one and i understand it but i don't think i would be able to sing it that fast.

[penguinlovercj]

@dommi9877 u could always try REMs one its slower..than keep practicing till u can sing it fast enough :D x

[oyousso]

Wow, the end of the world is so fun here.

[oyousso]

O-M-G..

[senneuh1]

i felt unconscious 2 times while trying to sing this song

[Kagomai15]

Sorry REM, as much as I like you guys, this is just so much better xD

Effin' LOVE Great Big Sea! SO proud to be Canadian =D

[blanbproductionshd]

omg this is the version i remeber from being a kid. its sounds way better then the other by rem

[FreneticFacade]

Fuck, are there no lyric videos for the fucking original?

[xDistantDreamer]

gah! this is amazing, i love this!! it's impossible to sing to, but i can't help but try <3

[truecowgirl101]

lol

[lilsquiggy]

happy saturdaY EVERYBODY

[geterhero]

idk if you were trying to but some of the lyrics are kind of messed up.... just sayin

[Sniper373737]

This is incredible, love you people for making this!

[CoPstesr42]

I will listen to this song as I am running from a collapsing building in a car, driving away with THIS song playing, I would look like a badass to the people running on their feet about to die... I think to much.........

[beautifulnaiad]

wow... this band would be good at doing those super fast metal songs lol

[shadicdragon1]

how can people sing that fast?

[boardertotheline]

If the rapture does come Im so going to blast this out the window and get shit faced because we'll all be screwed.

[LCPD20]

its posssable and hard to do and it hurts our thoath.

[TheBigstan77]

god sucks ass he dont exist to me. if we die itll be a day we expect it to be just not anytime soon good song

[randomguy034]

@TheBigstan77 lol hell bound much

[shawnhbkdx90]

im playing this on 2012...just in case

[rofljelly135]

O_O

My mouth would explode if I tried to keep up. This is WAY faster than the original.

[TheOtorious]

@rofljelly135 i can do it. it's possible, try!

[Teneban]

This song is too short. But everythibng has got to have an end I guess :V

[Dragonman609]

Only god know when the world is going to end

[sativasymbiosis]

this was my first favourite song ever. couldn't resonate with me more then ever, 14 years later. Hopi UN address 1992 - Thomas Benyacya "Why do animals act like they know about the earth's problems and most humans act like they know nothing? If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed." we need not to worry. have fun and live from your heart, keep your head out of the future and work for the now. 

[ToasterInHiding]

Who The Heck Are These Faggots? They Aren't The Songwriters!

REM Is!

[JRMAN2234]

@ToasterInHiding It's called a Cover song, don't be so Hostile.

[WolfGirl0001]

it makes the end of world sound fun.

[rebos10231987us]

i like this version better, just because they sing it waaaay faster

[L33Tguy47]

Ima Have a Dance party on New Years Day, and this song is up first

[bughunter5010]

in 2012 what if that song just starts playing out of nowhere ?

[WildGurl792]

Like this if your going to blast this and start randomly dancing on 2012! XD

[mrminecraftsoyboy]

ya i am I'm 40th person to like this comment

@WildGurl792

[urbz88]

@WildGurl792 ha that would be fun.

[sodaskate]

fuck that.. god wont do shit to end the world, because he doesnt exist. if the world is going to end its gonna be because my nahboors dog farted. and on dec 21 2012.. im gonna be in my front yard in a lwan chair, blasting this song. and laughing at the dumbass people running and screaming.

[Drew1749]

@sodaskate Scumbag atheist. Go to good song's video. Talk about religion.

[WrittenSky]

@sodaskate in a lawn chair blasting music in the middle of winter? :P know what imma be doing? wrapping presents lol, cuz' its christmas in four days

[pyrodooguzi]

@sodaskate hey jack ass, you have the right to state your opinion, and i have the right to shove my religious foot up your ass for saying it so stfu and keep it to yourself. Because everything is caused by so many coincidences, yea sure believe what you want, and the rest of us will to.

[LIGHTJAK52able]

@JohnJuanUnited For the fucking record stupid ass, It's DECEMBER 21, 2012.

And its gonna end when God wants it to end.

[djmadman]

its to fast :( R.E.M is better

[djmadman]

its to fast :(

[horseloverkiara]

I'm gonna dance around and sing this in 2012

[kadeno75]

6 people didn't know

[rabbitcanfly]

@JohnJuanUnited This is the best time to have ever been alive :) Open your eye :)

[TheSilmarillion1]

Wow...fuzzy...

[discombobulated46]

Even though REM was first, I think these guys completely improved the song. But the lyrics are too fast for me to keep up reading them... -.-

[DirectMain]

Great Big Sea needs to be more well known..

[1peewerking1]

I think this song is mocking all the failed guesses of how the world's going to end

[angelixsaint]

Rem's version was shit, to be honest, they can't sing quickly enough while maintaining volume and flow. Great Big Sea however does it without skipping a beat, and sound damn good doing it. This is of course my opinion and not in any way calling Rem a bad band, nor any worse than Great Big Sea.

[67kooldude]

dude guys ...... REM WAS WAAAAAY BETTER

[jackadam01]

this is the real song not that other crap version of this

[TehKazlehoff]

@jackadam01 REM did it first dude, hate to tell you. but they are both pretty good.

[Airondot]

The "end of the world" is at 7:30 to 9:00 pm, but what time zone???

[ninjaofthedanceflow]

I was up all night thinking the world was goNna end.look at me now:P

[Mightybro675]

What do you know. It's May 21st. I'm still alive. Anyways... good song.

[ItsDyme]

Happy May 21st! ^_^

[TheRandomamp]

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IIITTT

AND I FEEL FIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[MinaMonsha]

We shall see!!!!

[iluvyewboi]

How ironic that this song came out before the announcement that the world will end tomorrow yet, in the announcment it starts with an earthquake at 6 and it says that in the song... hm... bull crap!!

[mark11223345]

Hey guys tomorrow is doom's day!

Good news though! Don't worry about your pets! The survivors are going to look after your pets!

Bad news... We want your chicken as a payment

[SKID44]

Best......version.......ever!!­

[peterpamanez]

Ths song says exactly everything that christian dude in oakland CA said how the world is gonna end

[SLYR237]

@ronanonblackops what the hell are u talking about?

[NINJASxSILENCE]

@ronanonblackops Certainly isn't red. Red bull gives you wings!

[yoitstupidTV]

The only reason someone would put a thumbs down is because they got annoyed trying to recite the lyrics with the singer :P

[ghostkiller06660]

well thats the truth and the world id is going to burn down

[DarkLover676]

Epic.

[kdbandit99]

3 people don't feel fine.

[Mightybro675]

@kdbandit99 NO! JUST NO! Keep it original! :D

[kdbandit99]

@Mightybro675 what?

[Mightybro675]

@kdbandit99 When people do that "# people blah-blah-blah", its so annoying. We have all seen it. Its not funny anymore. No one is going to give you thumbs up. Stop posting that stuff.

[19KISStheSKY97]

omg these lyrics are all wrong-_-

[neutrino422]

I can't keep up

[helveticafication]

What font is this. It's so beautiful.

[volkswagenminibus]

Doing a book report for Life As We Knew it by Susan Beth Pfeffer. This fits the book so perfectly.

[tacticus21]

:D l-l-l-l-love it very much

[KrazyKommieKiller]

Good version! I love how every video with lyrics has slightly different words.

[foamysminion392]

it sickens me that the chipmunk version of this song has more views...

[deadpoolhulk]

such glorious noncense

[WittyGirlsUnite]

Everyone needs to download this song on december 31, 11:57 and listen to it.

[SUPAMAN906]

[mrbishi1000]

@FalconFreek thoughts are with you brother

[skully460]

I was trying to keep up with the lyrics but it's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!

[DarkLover676]

So gonna play this December 21st, 2012.

[Kelly152528]

don't usually like re-makes of songs...but this is SO much better than REM's original (this from an REM fan)...

[AllGoPro]

the first part where it says "starts with a earthquake" creeps me out after what hapened in japan

[bboyle28222]

I memorized this song

[whooshyoumissedme]

This song is my theme song for the apocalypse. :D

[fthornhill1]

They could have made it twice as long by singing half as fast. try it next time you do karaoke and some as had a wobbly drink by that time lol The world hasn't been quite the same since they started to built that Walmart up the road.

[Princess173957]

takes raping to a new level

[2Mal13]

It's a good cover.

[SamiiKittehCat]

this Is how i feel, It seems like the world is ending, but I have great friends, and I feel fine (:

But, I Don't Sing uber Fast x)

[LightYagame100000]

can't find the original anywhere

[Thesupersahen]

Best Song And Awesome Lyrics, So Catchy

[Iimeyman]

This song was on when I finally moved away from a Microsoft system and onto Gentoo. It helped me push the button, and delete Windows forever.

[SirVanLongDong]

linkin park is beter but good song

[falcorpie]

@SirVanLongDong Why would you compare Linkin Park to GBS?

It's like comparing your "Long Dong" to an average... Average being the bigger of the two. 

[UNSCspartanshadow]

@falcorpie actually probally 1/2 inch is probally bigger then his "long dong" ask his last girlfriend.... i did

[newsupersammyspider]

Even if people dont believe it, this song WILL be played by people on 2012! =P
