[pain2758]

my old old old neighbour used to love gareth gates x)

[onedirection72]

I think it's really cute because I think that little indian lady has a crush on gareth because of the way that she wraps her arms around his waist, and the way that she tries to pluck off his chest hair...

[SuperRyankc]

[IsTheGoodEnough]

wtf is this?

[lincsposter]

@IsTheGoodEnough Is was a record breaking charity single recorded for kids who need help! It raised millions of pounds of money for kids. Why the wtf ? Use Google! Americans always jump in and miss the point!

[kieran1120]

ma fave song sine a was 3 lol



[PaulThoreau]

every time someone listen to this song an angel dies

[1977qpr]

[E30STMCR98]

[AccidentalElvis]

i still love Gareth Gates:L<3

[DesiGirrll]

The Kumar's at No. 42!! I remember thiss...

[KillerDreck89]

Nice try, Gareth, but Norman Greenbaum's version is still better. ;)

[EllunaHellen]

lol 'NOT Wembley you idiot, he means Heaven!' it's still funny.

[ilovenoelfieldingxx]

I remeber this song :'D

[Bunglebeard]

This is complete and utter shit. Everything about this sucks. It's like this was aimed at a cartoon audience. It totally kills the spirit of the song and shits all over everything that made the original great. If this kid had any talent whatsoever, or any sack, he would tell the idiot who brought this idea to him (because I'm sure all of these pop-puppets cannot make decisions) and say, "what the hell is this garbage? I will not disrespect the original work of art," but no, he's clueless. SUCKS!

[lincsposter]

@Bunglebeard I see you are yet another 109 year old American who seems to be an expert of charity singles! This song raised a great deal of money for Children In Need. After ten year of being a pop puppet Gareth recently finished a year in Les Miserables. I suppose you are aware the people in the background were the cast of "Goodness Gracious Me" a popular comedy programme? I don't think Gareth is the clueless one here!

[Bunglebeard]

@lincsposter Being American has nothing to do with this. Except maybe being a bit sensitive to the butchering of an American classic. Yes, I am aware this was for charity, which makes this even more insulting. Look at it this way: In a charity bake sale, which do you think you'll sell more of... chocolate cake, or sugar coated shit balls? How would you react to Lil Wayne butchering "Imagine," in the name of charity. I know this kid has way more talent than Lil Wayne, but the result is the same.

[lincsposter]

@Bunglebeard ANY song which raises millions for charity is good! (I wonder how much Norman claimed from this one? Hopefully nothing!) Who cares who "butchers" a song if it makes millions for Children In Need? And by the way, Gareth has had far more Number 1s than Norman or whover Lil' Wayne is! Let's not argue over versions, let's support anyone who tries to raise money for Children In Need!

[JKHENCY2762]

@lincsposter i like this song im going to use it for RAP remix (kjust like Lil' Wayne does)

[Bunglebeard]

@lincsposter At the risk of discarding the good spirit of our chummy banter we've recently established, I must toss the "you are the one who is clueless" ball back into your court. While I do agree that raising money for charity is absolutely a good thing, it does not need to sacrifice the integrity of the original piece. And why shouldn't Norman see a penny? Its called "royalties," which the music publishers no doubt collected by right of ownership. Don't know Lil Wayne? Google him. Good day.

[lincsposter]

@Bunglebeard Oh so Norman didn't waive royalties for the kids? We thought he did?! As for Wayne... well in the UK Lil Wayne means something quite different, but as an American with as much humour as a dead cauliflower, you may not know that! FFS! Norman allowed this version as numerous artists allow their songs from the past to be used to help Children In Need!

[Bunglebeard]

@lincsposter You really want to do the name-calling game, huh? Ok you basement-dwelling Lil Tosser. We can do that, if you like. My point was simply, when you say that you hope the artist gets nothing, you sound like a total tool. By the way, number 1 sales don't mean dick. Lots of people love to eat kidneys and blood sausage while lapping up what shit pops the industry feeds them. That doesn't make it good. Your Lil GG castrated other classics as well. Your musical taste is seriously lacking.

[lincsposter]

@Bunglebeard Your American ideas on charity are seriously sick! I for one will never give another penny to future American appeals for help after flooding, hurricanes etc! You are a sandwich short of a picnic!

[notredame6523]

DEAR GOD! I thought this was the original and now I'm emotionally scarred where I don't like any versions of this song

[jls113]

[CaitlinCalling]

[fattossa]

memories :']

[TheSophist2007]

this song is ruined....

[TGRWorzel]

Good song which translated well when given an Indian flavour. Fabulously colourful video, dubious comedy, but overall I still like it. Not specifically coz of Gareth Gates or the Kumars though. This one just grabbed my attention when I first saw it and it still does today.

[MoreCarlie94]

@megagonewild he plays Marius in Les Miserable the 25th anniversary UK tour.

[thejorddougie]

loved this song when i was like 10 lol

[MrRawstyleX]

only 176878 views?? dude that's dumb it should have way more views

[MegaGonewild]

what happen to him??? no songs?? nothing

[LauraKyasarin]

@MegaGonewild - He's been doing Broadway shows. Les Miserable.

[ScenemoSweetie]

I met Gareth last saturday after his final matinee in Les Mis. He was so sweet! And he heard me tell my friend that I had the world's biggest crush on him when I was 6 and he gave me this funny look xD I used to know the whole dance to this song xD

[TheLyrico09]

3:28

HEAVEN!!!!!!



[kishax96]

Wow, I used to have such an obsession over this guy when I was like 10!

[LavieWolf]

@kishax96

Same! And I'm a guy.. which my parents found strange. ;)

[Salix1980]

I had such a crush on the girl at 2.33 ( not that anyone cares about that haha )

[SuperWildbill777]

the song says :i got a friend in Jesus:,you can read books on all the plants in the BIBLE,which is not a narcotics religion.the hindu rig vedas,are grom the hindu gods,hallucinating on narcotics,soma amrita, mushrooms,the hindu priests,hindu gods are high on mushrooms.they are changing a christian song,making it satanic.claiming he dont dont where he is going,when he says he is going to the place thats the best.the women are dressed seductive,please everyone click u hate this song

[Alowishius]

@SuperWildbill777 I dunno, a place where all the women are dressed seductively sounds pretty good to me.

Also, I heard goodnight girl on the radio this afternoon, and it reminded me of gareth gates, and here I am :D

Also, your post is pretty hard to read.

[lincsposter]

@SuperWildbill777 You must be American! This is a charity single to help children in need all over the world. The Asian ladies in the video are actresses! In fact all the Asian actors in this are from a TV chat show The Kumars at 42 - I suggest you would get more votes if you donated the same amount this song raised for charity. It's only several million pounds! Shouldn't bother a shoot first ask questions later type person like yourself! Remember the song is called Spirit In The Sky!

[lincsposter]

@SuperWildbill777 PS Are you aware of the religious beliefs of the writer and singer of the original version? Norman Greenbaum? Even the American Wiki says this is not a Christian song!

[lizzithelion]

'go to the place thats the best! an address would be helpful!' lmfao :D

[lizzithelion]

i always loved his random indian family!! <3

[Walkerboy202]

Lol "what wembley?"

[jonnykesgrave]

One Word- LSD

[aderandie2]

well....thanks for fucking this song up six ways from sunday.

[MrAdnan252]

he didnt ruin the song, but he didnt do it justice either

[PeterAndreFansx]

love this haha!

[Emzyxx100]

Lool " Everyday's a bad bum day for you!" gotta love that grandma !!! :D xx

[rainbo1111]

who the fuck was that?? not the artist i was looken for lol

[Emzyxx100]

I miss cheesy pop songs

[theBabyDead]

why is everyone blue? :P

[seoden]

lol, muslims do believe in Jesus, they just dont hold him as a son of God but only accept him as a prophet. Hindus follow an entirely different system- don't believe in Jesus.

Nice song

[FilmsOfEpic]

You can so tell that he was wearing a wig in the beginning. That is the most unnatural hairline ever

[elliekinzz1]

Oh. my. god. i cant believe how long it's been! .. it doesn't seem 5 minutes ago iwas dancing to this with my sister when i was like 5!! i used to love him so much!

[djmooresound]

@elliekinzz1 SAME! i haven't heard this in ages and i was about 5 when i used to listen to him all the time and have his calender :')
