Why are people arguing? Covers aren't meant to be better than the original, they're merely a tribute to bands of the past that have influenced you and your band. Mark and Travis grew up on punk rock and are paying homage to a band that influenced their lives, their band, and their previous bands (blink 182, Feeble, etc.). Travis even has a Milo tattoo. I do too and again merely as a tribute to a band that influenced my life and the culture I'm into, punk and hardcore.
musically the song is exactly the same, although the recording is a lot better produced and clearer than the original. Mark lacks character in this version though, Milo sings with a lot more heart probobly because its his own song.
Aren't early Blink songs better than the newer ones? I like it, going back to their roots is good, but yah it sounds way different. Not better or worse just different and softer.
the original can't be that great seeing as when you type in the descendents christmas vactation it only comes up with +44. That is how good the original is .... +44 are so much more talented anyway.
What is the relevance to how good it is based on how easy it is to find? The original is from 1985, long before the days when every single event that occurs in the world is captured on video and posted to youtube. This really is a pretty weak cover; it is merely immitation (an not good immitation) rather than a new interpretation.
Yeah Descendents are easily the best, I don't know how this band was influenced from them, anyway there's no feeling in this, just turning it into pure pop status. The song was already perfect you're not going to make it better.
punklives4ever...you are a fucking dumbass! punk doesn't "live forever" without the descenednets you dipshit. fucking kids don't know shit about punk.
that's a great fucking cover!

gotta love descendents, good cover but I personally prefer the raw energy and emotion of Milos' voice.

it's a great song but so not the kind of song for Mark's voice type. i love him but his voice sounds weird.
