[barrigabarrilete]

i dedicated this song to my girl for our 1 year and 4 months aniversary...2 weeks later she left men LOL

[WoWmemb]

@barrigabarrilete you know the root word of anniversary is annual, meaning yearly, one year and 4 months anniversary isn't even a real anniversary, thats like saying "OMGEE BBY ITS OUR 2 DAY ANNIVERSARY!!<333,3BH3GHF3"

[H3R0ify]

The guitar at the beginning sounds like The Cars...

[mathyookeem]

@H3R0ify yeah i totally thought I was hearing just what I needed.

[targetcxd]

@mathyookeem They do these types of covers, a cover inside another cover. They always do great jobs mixing the styles.

[dairylandbogurt]

@H3R0ify Yeah holy, total rip off of just what I needed

[hossnippermopar]

A well written song will sound good in any style or genre, it's a matter of personal taste.

[manic1eightyseven]

Lmfao.xDD

[forkman22222]

dude fuck yeah

[ScarlettEmpress]

One of the best band names ever and a great cover!

[CorneliusSneedley]

Written by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch, and first covered by the Jackson Five, with an itty-bitty 12 yo Michael Jackson in 1970. Mariah Carey didn't cover it until 1992.

[gitarist666]

singer sounds like the old singer of a small dutch band called DI-RECT

[dizzyisme]

omg the cars - just what i needed. LOVE how they worked that riff into the cover :)

[CorneliusSneedley]

@dizzyisme Yup, when I first listened, I thought "Wait a second..." :)

[Crazytrainrocker]

the bass is awesome

[MrSpifftasticOfChaos]

i would like to say Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

is the best cover band ever..



[pullbackbaby]

When ol' MJ died.. i made a carboard dedication that people signed.. two of them actually.. Guess who's logo was on it in print? Play Metro in Chicago pls. I will post photos to proove it. Do you take requests?

[AimClickKill]

wohooooo,,,,,,,,!!!!!

[Ahsfb61]

[Harhardidit]

This song means sooo much more then anyone thinks. My best friend sent me this song. Means so much to me.

[koberBROSHIO]

[Kalli1981]

This is with out a doubt the best version of this song....

[sumdude00092]

[MXBiker01]

I love this band!!

[DEAN766]

[brtlblayk]

Jackson 5 came before Mariah Carey, dude... epic fail.

[leynaluvdean]

[nuinelite]

[xion0130plus18]

Just what I needed >_>

[danirei08]

yeah.. nice..

[CidGuerreiro1234]

Great cover.

[feanorfireghost]

If this song were a person, you'd call this rape ¬¬

[NichtcrawlerX]

@feanorfireghost There are much worse offenders then this...

[Rattchen]

No wonder the cover is good. They are professional coverers.

[RMimz]

not a bad cover...

[33incharmsarehot]

THEY'RE PLAYING AT MY WEDDING HA SUCK IT SCr4TUM BREATHS

[obliviuose2me]

hahaha me first meets micheal i looove it!!!

[roarspasm]

i'm so glad my brother gave me this cd so long ago. i used to jump around my room and on my bed with a hairbrush and sing along :3

[brandonroffi]

music same as The Cars - just what i needed?!?!?! good song though

[uiruu]

@brandonroffi yeah, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes cover two things really, the lyrics to mostly pop-ish songs, and the riffs and music from famous rock songs.

[flowk182]

god that's good!

[devilspjh]

good stuff

[dubaron84]

i cant beliee alot of people havent heard of them ive been listening to them since high school and im 29 now. anyways check out hi standard the r a jap punk band that does some cool covers too.

[bekkagreer]

Me too I think I discovered them in 10th grade and I am 28 now... LOVE them!

[merpmaster25]

I love this song, i probably gonna get a lot of crap for this but i like this version better than the original by michael jackson

[ChrisMarie93]

ha no i gotta agree! i mean, michael's awesome,....but, this is EPIC :D

[klivert1]

agreed

[poeticpoverty]

@merpmaster25 yeah cause mike won't molest anybody in 25 years

[iamtheicekid]

@merpmaster25 man I do too.

[billzeking]

@merpmaster25 haha, bet you never thought you'd be the highest comment :)

[LittleWeirdo04]

@merpmaster25 jackson 5 =P

[cnoyes82]

@merpmaster25 You'll get no crap from me bro, punk remakes seem more honest a lot of times. If that makes any sense.

[drummerlinn]

@merpmaster25 I wasn't going to flack you for liking this version better, but it was the jackson five and mowtown that did this song. michael jackson had no part in writing it.

[albinolucario]

@drummerlinn michael jackson was part that group

[albinolucario]

@merpmaster25 it was the jackson 5 who did this not just micheal jackson

[cheezkid]

@merpmaster25 Me too. Michael Jackson sucked anyway.

[hothooker12]

@merpmaster25 honestly you can like them both the same BC they have the same lyrics but 2 totally different songs

[annachick54]

This is amazing. My DAD just showed me them. And now, I cant WAIT to pick up their music.

[cszdesperado]

This is the song (the original) from those sad cancer commercials. It's incredible what MFGG do to songs I would never have otherwise listened to.

[FreshieB]

HOLY CRAP!! this is nuts.. COOL!!

Michael Jackson-Jackson 5.

wow this is awsme XDDDD

[dyunior]

luv d bassss....

[502skater502]

Haha I Love this. This would be so cool in a skate video.

[WildmanBorneo]

Never heard of these, but I am likein this.

[AssassinEremes]

this song is great "and ill be there"

[wittyworldlee]

anyone noe where i can get the bass tabs for this song?

[PraiseDog]

Weird how some have make MJ a holy man, sacred cow. The media plays them like cattle. The original was fine, MJ makes the list of top1000 all time in my view, so it was fine. But I like this cover better, and it is not kind of lame. I mean the original was more geared towards the emotional strings of a 12 year old, or an adult equivalent.

[ryanschneer]

anyone catch the Cars tease in the beginning

[68kira]

i dont mind you coming here wasting all my time....

[BnLfan111]

@ryanschneer Yeah, same opening as "Just What I Needed"

[SiteNook]

@ryanschneer I know, right. I thought it was mislabelled!

[shelly777lee]

@ryanschneer - YES, I did!!!!! Just discovered these guys about 3 hours ago. I friggin love them!

[TorThor]

@ryanschneer Yeah, that intro was just what we all needed.

[SpahnRanch1969]

@ryanschneer Yep. "Just What I Needed."

[Riaoku]

@ryanschneer Indeed I did :)

[mdr1013]

@ryanschneer I don't mind you coming here, and wasting all my time........

[mcdrunkin]

@ryanschneer nope I tried to catch it but Cars are to fast and large for my hands.

[km9OOO]

Are you talking about Mariah? I can't stand her usual oversinging on that cover. Completely butchers the original. Meanwhile, this very well could be the best cover Me First did. (Or maybe just the best song they covered.)

[o0vanee0o]

Me first.... i love YOUZ!!!! haha

[ozaki0512]

I Like This !!

My Favorite Song !!

[Calamari5]

listen to that bass come in.

[UniqueGirlXliving]

awesome sound x)

[TheBluebaguio]

it's ok i guess

unique way of playing the song

but i definitely like the original way better

[ChemicallyAlice]

This cover is awesome but i don't really like the way the bass (i think that's what it is) sounds....

[Sarahhparsnipp]

me first are like..my favourite band EVER.

[TeenSupream]

dont post about MJ here post on a MJ video otherwise it is spam

[fuckenace]

this version is very catchy.

[LeGarsDeGatineau]

They've made like 6-7 albums

[heidigesna]

have these guys made an album that i can buy in stores all over (Denmark) anyone?

[NiknJaps]

Denmark sucks

[DestructoidReaper]

don't worry be happy can screw off this is waaayyyy better

[dasshy29]

i lyk ur all song....

..its so beuatiful...♥♥♥

[xFSUxGoldenBong]

one of my favorite songs. only this version, though. the slower versions aren't as good in my opinion.

[battraj]

You gotta be kidding me? The Jackson version is classic. What we have here is a great cover of that song. I do mean great though, I really liked it.

[ricordeon]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! men!

[zerokewl80]

Spike is hilarious with the well placed "YEAHS"......

[cheezkid]

Hahah I agree zerokew, I love how he always says "Yeah!! ....YEAH!!" throughout every song.

[VideogeekinMD]

This proves that music is music.  Chords and lyrics can be adapted to any genre.

[rev0lter]

who wrote the original version? I agree, this is one of the best songs ever!

[MA3STR01337]

Mariah Carey.

[NiknJaps]

WHAT ? Mariah Carey was about 2 years old when Jackson 5 wrote it !

[vividcard]

@MA3STR01337

Really? Mariah Carey? Your special :P

[Crazytrainrocker]

@MA3STR01337 wow really? you REALLY just said that....dang shows what you know about awesomeness

[xXrfCdaViDXx]

@MA3STR01337 wtf man mariah wasnt even born when this was written jermane and jo jackson wrote it

[greatestxgift]

@xXrfCdaViDXx It was originally recorded by the Jackson 5 but none of the members had anything to do with writing the song. It was written by a collection of people: Berry Gordy, Bob West, Willie Hutch, and Hal Davis.

[MA3STR01337]

But it's also from "Jackson 5"

[rev0lter]

good to know! THank you!

[km9OOO]

Berry Gordy, Jr., Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch wrote it for the Jackson 5, and it came out in 1970. Pay no attention to the Mariah Carey version.

[ElfLady64]

Haha, I was going to say just that, but I see you beat me to it! :) My favorite Jackson 5 song, and I love this version as well!

[skaterrock]

Michael Jackson wrote the original version

[doeloer]

wrong

[misfitkid66]

it was the jackson 5

[louijones1]

@rev0lter berry gordy (the dude who invented motown) wrote this one :)

[cirishpimp]

@rev0lter

The song was written by Berry Gordy, Bob West, Hal Davis, and Willie Hutch. And was first performed by The Jackson 5.

[TheGreyshaun]

@rev0lter michael jackson lol michael jackson is fucking gay

[kingalvii]

@TheGreyshaun he's not, he's dead XD

[winnetouch]

Man if I ever form a punk band this is making the cut 100pro. This is such a powerful song, now even more that it's been rewritten in to punk sound.

[chiporskip]

One of the best songs EVER!

[misshalway]

beautifull song

[dw23saint]

Great song :D thnx for posting

[MA3STR01337]

Ye me First and the Gimme Gimmes best Cover Band ever :D
