  • MARIO, y u no running?

  • This version is different from the original. Comparing is kind of silly.

  • I really love both bands, and I find it hard to compare. However, it's true that the Flaming Lips have a lot more energy.

  • This is not really good. Not because it's a cover, but because it just doesn't have any energy. It doesn't have the feeling that the original has. I remember the floaty feeling I would get listening to this, just about to fall asleep. This postal service version seems like it's just going through the motions, copying it. Not that I needed to say this, but I figure since it's youtube I can afford a silly comment here and there.

  • @OlmoLane

    Covers aren't supposed to copy the original. They're supposed to be a different take on the same song.

  • @TieLandProductions I said I feel like this is just a copy, "going through the motions" instead of giving it any perspective. Except now it's just more boring... You're right, a good cover should give a different take. I don't think this is a different take.

  • am i gonna be the asshole to ask why the FUCK thers a pic of mario world? or is anyone else? huh? anyone?..................pleaz :/

  • Flaming Lips had energy.

  • I feel like the only one who likes this version better.

  • Mushrooms can no longer get Mario high no more.

  • @TheDaramulum .. I like it better 2

  • @TheDaramulum yes they can, im a the only one who think's the star box was probably full of cocaine, #fast mode

  • can everyone stop shitting about covers and just listen to sweet music over and over again?

  • Mario having an existential crisis.

  • @likearollingstone257 Oh how children think they know everything. My username is the name of a song. My love life shouldn't matter to some random creeper on the Internet. And yes, I do enjoy that smiley face too. c:

  • I like the other one better :p

  • @mosconi81 She's not gone Browser is just holding her hostage, and forcing her to sign fraudulent letters to mess with his head.

  • @steveomac385 Bowser* hahah

  • This is terrible.

  • @likearollingstone257 I hope you aren'tt talking about the music because other wise... you better getr a check up. The results of that check up better be that you have bad taste in music because thats what I am getting from your comment.

  • @postalservice32 I'm taking about this shitty cover of great song by a great band. If you think this is good, then my god do I feel sorry for whoever you live with. What you said was cute though. Nice attempt.

  • @likearollingstone257

    You wasted your time to come on a video and hate -.- I feel sorry with whoever got stuck with your pathetic ass. Its as if you have no life. c:

  • @BitterCinderella I didn't come here to hate. I came here to check out a cover of one of my favorite songs. It turned out horrible, so I felt the need to voice my opinion. That's what these comment boxes are for, right? Cute smiley face, though. It really sent your message home. That's what you were going for right? To look ridiculously smug? Maybe you wouldn't be so bitter if you actually had a Prince Charming searching for you. Anyway, enjoy your Postal Service c: (god I love that smiley face)

  • @likearollingstone257 Wow. you sure made them look stupid.

    Oh wait, no, my mistake. You just made yourself look like an arsehole.

  • @likearollingstone257 This was an okay cover. Both are great bands. Can't we just listen to the music? Hating on it won't erase it from existence or stop people from liking it. It just irritates people. lol I have the Lips and the Postal Service in the same playlist. :P

  • perfect song to fold shirts to and think of the past :)

  • Suddenly everything has changed it will always change unfortunately:( I wish I could stop and go back to relive and enjoy the moments I could have had with people that aren't here today

  • this is the best suddenly everything has changed and sleeping in

  • This song makes me want to cry -_-

    Suddenly everything has changed...

  • WHY ISNT THE TIME MOVING? D:

    

  • hmm. more of a cover than a remix. usually a remix is to improvement. i love the postal service as much as the next guy but this is just lazy. too bad the original can't even be found on this site!

  • You're wrong.

  • ugh, this is an awful cover of an amazing Flaming Lips song (and i normally like the postal service) listen to the original, it blows this away.

  • @kgoodies008 @co2Paco

    You're wrong.

  • flaming lips > the postal service, but this is a great cover. and i love the postal service

  • I like the song, but I think there should have been more lyrics... Because for like a whole minute they just say that "aaaah Ahhh aaaah" thing over and over..

  • Thumbs up this comment if for a brief second the cloud above Mario reminded you of a dick head... Lol

  • Comment removed

  • This is a Flaming Lips Song

  • @MrSleepology well, thank you for informing me

  • I always listen to The Postal Service while drawing.

    It feels so dreamy. <3

  • i hate "old" songs/bands like this... Theyr so epicly awesome, but i wasn't old enough to enjoy them when they were cool :(

  • @Corinthness Its the fans that make it cool. Don't forget that. Music is timeless.

  • The world may explode from sheer repetition if the postal service doesn't make another album

  • thanks for uploading this on my birthday.

  • I don't understand why these types of bands have to be kept in the "Indie" circles. These bands should get air time on national radio and MTV, winning at the grammys and stuff. These are the musicians who deserve the exposure that is so undeservedly given to the posers we do see on MTV.

  • @lago4 im sure they like the indie cirlce. they get more true fans, and are in it for the music, not the money(: bands in indie cirlce are amazing. 

  • I love The Postal Service but The Flaming Lips' version is sooo much better.

  • wtf i love owl city and death cab and postal service theyre all great whats up with all the hatin'?

  • a postal service vs owl city battle. hahaha

  • @sheatheman Owl City fucking sucks

  • @KeithMMeldrum i don't think i've ever had the pleasure, but i'll take your word for it. i can tell it's not for me.

  • @sheatheman well i just don't like owl city's music, its so overrated, you know?

  • @KeithMMeldrum i've actually never listened to owl city that i can think of. i may have watched 5 seconds of a video a couple years back, but without having listened, from a justly accused prejudice, yes, i agree with you.

  • hahaha i love this video and whoever made it

  • mantep

  • too legit

  • Flaming Lips was definitely better, but I still love this song and this artist.

  • love 0:23. the pause is simple yet ingenious and somehow adds so much to the song

  • Comment removed

  • ehhh... its like zeppelin, hard to cover a lips song

  • so is this a flaming lips cover or the other way around? either way, this is a very good song

  • hard to say, I still listen to Postal Service regardless, until Postal Service and Owl City remain active at the same time, then you can have an opinion about both, so up until now, I've only heard one good thing from Owl City, but we'll see what else they do, because postal service has ceased, so idk what to tell ya, though you can't really compare them, you can still listen to whatever the hell you like, and no one can stop you ;) .... not even ninjas...

  • two of the worlds greatest things...super Mario and the postal service...fuck yea

  • 8 people live in owl city -_-

  • The Lips version is better. This is a little too upbeat or something. The parenthetical title or the Flaming Lips song is "Death anxiety brought about by moment of boredom"; the Flaming Lips song just makes a lot more sense and has the right anxious, uncomfortable feel that this song doen't.

  • What album is this song from? I can't find it in The Postal Service's discography.

  • @brenasuarus i think its flaming lips thats what it says on my iPizzle

  • @MrRUNAWAYwithME You are correct. This is a cover of a Flaming lips song.

  • lol he's scared people will think he's gay because of that?

    silly world..

  • he said "putting" and i instantly liked this song :D

  • Great cover and my theme song for today :)

  • Mario theme is..different, but great song. Thanks for uploading man:)

  • i wish people never found out about this band, its too good for retards

  • is it just me,

    or would a perfect music video for this

    be somebody playing the original mario on NES,

    to the beat of the song?

  • RUN MARIO RUN DAMMIT!

  • Really nice cover of a Flaming Lips classic! Love the huge pause when you imagine thinking of the past.  Not a fan of the protracted breakdown, though..

  • owl city and the postal service/dcfc arent really that comparable. idk why everyone feels the need to bash on either of them

  • LOL @ MrSNES1 that was hilarious.

  • damn I want to rape my snes.

  • Miss the postal service so much.. Ben Gibbard said he was not closed to the idea of a new album so I hope he stops banging zoey D and gets to a new album :)

  • @zongrog well they divorced so you might be in luck :)

  • I heard of them from kid cudi, they're awesome! Im currently downloading some of their songs ;)

  • If only mario started moving at 0:29.

  • some of this sounds like marina and the diamonds im not a robot "ahhh ahh ah ah " bit

  • The F.L. original version is infinitely better. I'm not a huge P.S. or D.C.F.C. fan. They're no B.T.O.. More like an E.L.P. or an E.L.O. without J.L..

  • This is a piece of shit cover. It removes all the emotion from it. Fuck you Ben Gibbard.

  • free albums on my page!

  • wonder if it bugs owl city that everyone sees he or they as a knock off. hahaha

  • I love The postal service, ive liked them for 5 years now, listened to them everyday freshmen year. i have many memories with their songs... i wish they would get back together and make a new album, just to make owl city look like shit

  • @chris551 hahaha i know right!!! owl city is such a rip off. But i cannot honestly  say that i dont like the music.

  • theyre still together

  • @chris551 haha hell yeah they would be so much more popular than they used to be just because owl city

  • @chris551 holy crap haha... Im a freshman and i listen to them everyday. and my name is chris as well..

  • @chris551 why u want beatin up the band who had influence by Postal Service?

    isnt good that Owl City continue to play such genre of music? so younger ppl will notice and this music genre will not be forgotten.

    instead of Owl City why not make Justin Beiber look like shit??

  • @pepygoingcrazy no owl city just fuckin sucks.

  • @WoWbob396 yeah u right owl city is crapy, justin beiber is fuckin better =D

    and i like ur hair wowbob =D u look like justin beiber u must be a big fan of him

  • @pepygoingcrazy nah im not a big fan of him, my hair is cut now im in wrestling so it cant be long, wait how the fuck did justin beiber come along in this conversation?

  • @chris551 why u want beatin up the band who had influence by Postal Service?

    isnt good that Owl City continue to play such genre of music? so younger ppl will notice and this music genre will not be forgotten.

    instead of Owl City why not make Justin Beiber look like shit???

  • @pepygoingcrazy Owl City is nothing like this though, thats the point

  • @SwitchDawg O Yeah? so why PPL like @chris551 always compare it with Postal Service???? what's the point? i Like to Listen Postal Service and Owl City And Other Music That I Deem As A Good Music

    i also think that Owl City is Nothing Like Postal Service, Then What's The Point To Compare them Each Other if they are different??? WHAT"S DA POINT DUDE?

  • @pepygoingcrazy OMG LIEK settle down bro.

    i wasnt comparing them. that was chris551. you are making a fool of yourself right now

  • @SwitchDawg fool? really??? hahaha oh pardon me then

    If I looks Like A Fool, Then PPL like @chris551 and 59 thumbs its only 1 Word : SHALLOW

  • @pepygoingcrazy you seriously are making no sense right now... i pity you for your lack of communication skills

  • @SwitchDawg well english is not my mother language. but u get what i tried to say dont you?

    i pity a country that dont have own language and using other country language for communicate each other T^T

  • @pepygoingcrazy the point is people have opinions and express them even though no one wants to hear them. chill dude its just youtube haha, oh and if u like owl city ur prbly a homo :D

  • @MrRUNAWAYwithME LOL u mean Gay? i am homo i like man so much

    coz im a girl. bweeeee. i hardly think y man like to mention about homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo homo about other man. congratulation u just make urself look like that. =D

  • @pepygoingcrazy ha again opinions. urs doesn't matter lol but u got me cause ur a chick. congrats on making urself look like another dumb blond

  • @MrRUNAWAYwithME Bwahahahahahaha!!!!

    Im Not Blond , My Hair is Black =)

    ur opinion always missed, but mine are not ROFL

    then again my opinion for u now is: that u are a kiddo whos acted like an Old Fag

  • @pepygoingcrazy i could have swore your hair was blond, but that was only based on the way u talk =)

  • @pepygoingcrazy

    Gross, a girl that visits /b/

    You must be terribly ugly.

  • @Smapss bla bla bla

    look whos dont have own picture as his primary pic and telling other ppl ugly

    you must be a terribly disgusting person both face and personality

  • @chris551 haha owl city is ok(not really) but honestly they can't compare to the ps i've loved em ever since middle school never seems to let me down

  • @chris551 Owl City already looks like shit; that's already covered. But, I could still go for a new album. (:

  • @chris551 lol, they just dont compare to postal service

  • @chris551 Postal Service is too good for Owl City fans to enjoy in the first place so they wouldn't see the quality. Basically they'd think The Postal Service is too slow, or too boring, or since they're not on MTV they're not acceptable - something ridiculous. They wouldn't see the quality, henseforth another Postal Service album would not show the majority of people who are more likely to like Owl City that they are in fact shit, because The Postal Service looks like shit to the majority

  • @aciddmc I love Owl City, it's my third most listened band, according to last.fm.

    Still, I'm a great fan of Ben Gibbard's music, and I have loved The Postal Service for a few years now, I know every single sound in every single one of their songs, and if somebody would ask me, these are one of the best little masterpieces in the history of electronic vocal music.

    I'm also a great fan of Death Cab for Cutie, which is Ben's main project.

    So... Fuck off.

  • great image

  • luvey this song :) i just like listening to it to relax

  • album?

  • @nadeaarrct Vinyl EP bonus disk for Give Up,

  • its called give up. :]

  • Flaming Lips cover!! awesome.

  • songs a lil weird but i like it, became a fan of TPS two weeks ago!

  • @royalsmasher99

    It's a cover.

  • oh man what a cool cover. never heard this.

  • I love this song. Even if it makes me feel kind of sad..

  • I need to go buy that EP. BBL.

  • ...Oh man, DCFC and Postal Service are the same guy? Holy crap, that explains so much

  • i am equally surprised. I Never linked the similarities in the two bands' vocals. Its really pleasant.

  • what is 3:51 and on?

  • I think death cab is a superficial piece of junk, but the postal service is great actually, more creative and much better in my opinion.

  • lol gooooooooof.

  • lolwut?

  • Death Cab rips.

  • I know, DCFC is definitely one of the best bands ever!

  • I respect Death Cab, and 75% of Plans was pure genius, and so is 25% of the rest of their stuff, but somehow Ben just seems to make better music as Postal Service. Every single song is incredible.

  • it's because postal service is a collab of already-famous artists. dcfc is not. but either way I love them exactly the same.

  • Eh, I'm not really sure that Dntel is any more famous than say, Chris Walla.

  • @mofomisfit

    I don't know how the hell Jimmy Tamborello made this album so well and Dntel just isn't even close to that level.

  • I can recall a lot of supergourps that suck....

  • I agree 100% with this comment.

    I do like plans and a lot of the other death cab stuff, but Postal Service is exceptional.

  • all of this makes sense, granted i knew of the postal service thing, but i enjoy that some one is nice enought to state that without being a jerk ^_^ dont see that very often

  • haha so is ben gibbard some type of transformer then? he goes from a superficial piece of junk to much more creative with just the change of a title

  • I love this song i first heard it in 04 and the lyrics hold true still today i look back to 04 and realize how much things have changed.

  • This is a cover of a Flaming Lips song.

    I really like their version.

  • WHEN IS THE NEW ALBUM COMING OUT

  • .never they said in an interview that postal service was a one time thing and dont have any plans for doing a second album_

  • wait, is this death cab or postal service?

  • it's postal service. it's on their album "the district sleeps alone tonight"

  • the album is called Give Up. i hope they put out another one, that would be awesomee

  • but it is on the bonus disc that comes w/ the vinyl version of "give up"

  • We hope Nirvana puts out another album too, but one can dream.

  • For what Nirvana did, they were good. I love Nirvana, if you don't like them that is cool with me completely. But Death Cab is one of the really good bands out there, I used to not like them but I always respected their musicianship.

  • Lol that actually made me laugh(not in a gay "you make me laugh" way). Good reply haha

  • haha a "gay you make me laugh way"

    i love it

  • lololol

  • that's so "word" dude ;D

  • @MrSNES1  your dumb!!

  • @MrSNES1 seconded.

  • @MrSNES1 And you're a dick :|

  • @MrSNES1 If by being a pussy you mean he has great taste in music then yeah, he's soft as a marshmellow.

  • @Primus581 Well said.

  • @MrSNES1 You know, the only real reason why one, including you, would insult anyone over the internet publicly, is to get some kind of acceptance of others for themselves and their actions.

    Just know that, with this comment, you get none from me.

  • @shotz2thadoubleglock

    Wait what? How did you guys even get to THAT from THIS?

  • @AttackJak Lol what? Because I said something about Nirvana? I was just using it as an example because people think because they don't like something that it's not good. Which is retarded. And to like postal service and say death cab is gay is lol.

  • oh its on the single, my bad

  • death cab :) is amazing. and the postal service is never forgotten :p

  • its postal service but the lead singer for is the same person from death cab for cutie

  • Is the pic Super Mario Lost Lvels??? I wish the person was playing...ah wells...I'll play NES Super Mario 1 tonight...:)

  • oh, so this isn't a postal service song?

    that explains it... thats why this was always the "eh, whatever" song on "Give Up"

    But Postal Service + Death Cab are amazing

  • OH MY GOD!

    The Postal Service covered a Lips song!

    I think I just died.

    It's so amazing!

  • wats with the mario pic

  • i really don't like this version. flaming lips' is SO way better...

    BUT ... i really like the remix the postal service did for "do you realize?" ..

  • i gotta say, i'm a fan of both groups, but the lips version is waaaaay better in my opinion. There are no real beat drops in this version, and those drops are what makes the lips version so good for me. As is my usual complaint about the postal service, this is just way too sensitive for me
