Young the Giant - "Cough Syrup" (Official Video)

[NadaNabulsi97]

can someone explain it for me please ?? :) 

[raidahnoshin]

I agreed with the top comment because it's true.

[hAyLeS13x]

Life brought me here.

[yesitsyodady]

that awkward moment when the top comment is about glee... on every single song.

[IngridTheArtChick]

im not here because of glee. and I'm not a hispter. but I love this song.

[giapet4630]

the lyrics make no sense

[SayHelloToDarcie]

96X brought me here.



[Ihatethecharacterlim]

what does this song mean?

[Basketball0270]

who else looked this up for glee sake

[cousinswag1616]

glee brought me here(:

[cousinswag1616]

glee brought me here.(:

[inlovewithmyedwardxD]

They're...*

[inlovewithmyedwardxD]

I don't mind that this song was on glee... but every comment dosent have to be about it. I've loved this band for the longest time and I'm glad their getting some exposure. They deserve it.

[omar1989mex]

Im in love with krofsky

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@omar1989mex um

[Irisrdi]

Some of you are pathetic. You have a lot of prejudices. Let people hear and enjoy.

[frazelrocksdaworld]

I love the puppy dog eyes! In full force at 4:00 lol!

[ummmmmmmm7]

ugh dammit how'd i know id come on here and all the comments be about glee

[JossEzze]

It's amazing that still exist new songs so great like this

[Majadera23]

Deberían apoyarlos y no creerse hipsters , Me parece bien que glee haya cantado esta canción, por lo visto a ellos también. Este podría ser su "salto" a la fama y ustedes están ahí discutiendo -.-

[justcheer19]

@MsRmoney22 i wouldn't say "ew". It was actually a very good cover and a very powerful scene

[WeemanCP]

Saw these guys live last night in Cincy, Amazing Band, they had great energy and sounded even better live, it was a great concert with Walk the Moon opening, great bands

[kgthekid21]

what's a glee?

[192venom]

@kgthekid21 It's a tv show about a high school that sings and they sing popular songs by like michael jackson, adele ext.

[kgthekid21]

@192venom ya it was a joke...i'm probably the biggest gleek here. also have loved this song for months, was stoked to hear it on glee

[MusicSnap13]

Knew about this band and song before Glee... and I'm a total gleek! \m/

[gleekcoolfan22]

@LiveLife1nce true I really did too but the original is way better. sorry Darren

[LiveLife1nce]

wow i was gonna say these guys couldnt beat darren criss but they have proved me wrong... i like this version better...not trying to start anything saying. although glee's version WITH the accompany of the Max Adler acting beats it

[Majadera23]

En el programa estuvo bien, pero sigo prefiriendo este :-)

[squaleneful]

so whats this song is all about

[ipodphone6]

I used to use cough syrup, but then I took an arrow to the knee.

[GleeLover318]

I heard this song and this band before glee, even though I am a GLEEK myself (,:.

But it gives me happiness that other people now found this amazing band :D

ILOVEYOUNGTHEGIANT.

[negativex4]

102.1 THE EDGE

[t13c6]

i'm glad i found this by my self!!!

[burtforever]

@t13c6 me too

[mrdennis9100]

its song is aweosme

[MsRmoney22]

Ew. Glee sang this?

[TobyDanAndPhil123]

@MsRmoney22 But, Darren Criss Did A Brilliant Cover!

[derilling]

Respect and thumbs up to those who seen this video before glee. You've discovered great music wayyyyyyy before Gleek did *including me*. :D

[xyzpdqbgn]

i thought he said 'these bitches in the sea'.....

[Lightbluevalentine90]

@xyzpdqbgn AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ME TOOOOO!!

[umwha]

thanks to glee for helping me discover this awesome song

[gossipalltheway]

Raping the replay button

[ihatecheesehahaha]

the singer looks like max from new girl hahah

[ishliebedi]

Okay. Lets break this down here. I found this song because of glee and I admit i fell in love wth it.. BUT im not saying this one is better and this one is better. Theyre both great in their own ways. I actually love glee because they gave me some ideas about some great song from great artists out of the limelight which for me is great. They dont just focus on popular music, instead they get some unheard song to be popular right?All i know is that this song is great and both artists are great.

[RUKIsan162]

Thanks to Glee I found an amazing song and a amazing band, though I don't like Darren Criss' cover at all..

[ccervantes4life]

I don't know how anyone can dislike this song.

[MultiTupsu]

After I heard it on Glee I decided to find this song, and I love it.

I am so happy that Glee exists, because of Glee I hear so many beautiful and fantastic songs.

And usually I like Glee covers more than the original ones. But I must admit, I think no-one can do this song better than Young the Giant. :) Perfect voice. :)

[coquetamentedulce]

A great, great great song. ThankU guys

[stevehoffable]

Quick look kids, a song with real music, written by real artists, with no phony editing!!!

gosh amAzing!

[RDonn96]

Im so glad glee did this song :) Cuz before glee i never knew these guys even existed :O

[Daattractive1]

I knew this song before glee and I'm not complaining about it (-_-) seriously! why are you getting angry over the fact that they're making this song more popular....

[kingphazer]

Hipsters. Hipsters everywhere.

[SuperElizabethD]

@kingphazer Ya cuz hipster bands always have their songs on glee

[Monsta607]

@kingphazer just enjoy the music you idiot. they may be hipstest but who gives a damn?

[RoseMckenzieKimball1]

@Monsta607 oh my god, how rude of you. I mean, that person wasn't even saying that being hipster is a bad thing, was just statement the obvious, they're hipster yay

[MHO413]

@Monsta607 u mad

[JohnnyBlackEyes73]

Ever since hearing this song on Glee, I've listened to this song about 30 times

[Kreachor]

Looks like 224 people still have a cough.

[Jeloration]

darren brought me here...but love the original..

[georgebosco1]

Amei a versão de glee, não existe elogio para essa música! muito linda.

[georgebosco1]

beautifull

[MeghannForReal]

I remember listening to this song non-stop awhile ago. Then I forgot about it. Then I heard gLee sing it and I'm obssesed with it all over again(:

[shuffed]

I love how the video version of the song is different from the original song

[MrGreeps]

People just need to calm down. It's just a song. and should be enjoyed as it is. I don't know why people devalue a song just because its been publicized.

[mustacheroller]

i'm glad that glee covered it, or else i would have never known about this song/band...

also, the lead singer looks like nick from new girl.

[ellepinksterz]

@mustacheroller so agree on that comment about nick from new girl! at first i thought "wtf is he a singer as well!!!" hahaha

[jerriberri98]

@mustacheroller hahaha omg he does! even sounded slightly like him at one point..

[starholder5]

@mustacheroller i thought EXACTLY the same thing:)

[dogluver92]

@mustacheroller Stoned Nick from New Girl.

[PeAcE1461]

am i the only one who didn't see glee to come and listen to this song?

[primitivevertebrate]

It's funny. Every comment on here is complaining about the Glee/OS comparison, or complaining about the complaining of the Glee/OS comparison (with the occasional hipster commenting about how they used to be The Jakes). I'd be redundant to be joining the argument. Everyone has covered every aspect of it, so that would be boring. Blah blah blah. So.... how do you all like the song? :D This lead singer has a voice of gold! WOOHOO.

[firstratekids]

thumbs up if you knew these guys when they were the jakes

[Onmywaytohogwarts]

Both versions are grand.

[tintin95ful]

:(

[NivesChow]

As much as I l-o-v-e Darren Criss, I so wish they hadn't done this song on Glee.

Because now, when I wanna be a fake indie kid and sing it at the coffee shop, people will think I'm singing it because I heard it on Glee, and not just because Young the Giant is saintly.

D:

[mydillisshort]

damn i watched the whole advertisement. atleast it was something that didn't waste my time

[TooBeGoodAgain]

I don't watch Glee, and I heard this song last week off the radio. But when I found out Darren Criss covered it, I went and listened; and it was actually pretty good. Doing a band this good justice, deserves props.

[badgernation74]

rollin with the homies

[miracledoubtfire]

for some reason when i think about cough syrup i think about pancakes o_O

[schofyproductions]

The great thing about Glee is that it has the power to give lesser known artists attention they might not otherwise get. I think both versions are great and Young the Giant gets some great exposure from it.

[yenrab17poop]

Karofky Scene this music ooooh God just a brand new classic

[a7xcah]

glee melhor versão



[IsaiVideo]

who really cares about who knew the song first? music is about bringing people together, expressing feelings in a way nothing else can. why can't we have this common ground, no matter who covers it? enjoy the music and shut the hell up.

[webaker]

I am not a fan of Glee at all, but I am a *HUGE* fan of Darren Criss, and he nailed this shit perfectly.

[renatastarzforeve21]

i love both versions! thats why i have them both on my ipod <3

[individualpersona]

This song is so awesome whenever i feel down with life i listen and feel hopeful...though i still don't get why :/ haha

[littlemissme260]

OK plz just friken stop it i dont whatch glee (very much) but something i do know is has and is helping so many people so maybe you should all just relize that music is music weather or not a tv show covers it or not doesnt really make a difference in your life

peace out yall!!!

[SMStaylorswifty13]

thumbs up if glee brought you here

[janelle40165]

Why is it so wrong that glee covered it? I love glee and I love this band.

Why is that so wrong?

[starholder5]

New favorite band. Decided.

[SammyBoi225]

I'll admit, I do like Glee, but because it opens my range of music. I like many more songs and artist now than I did before I started watching it. The one thing I don't like, however, is how every song they sing, the comments on Youtube videos for it turn in to arguments rather than just appreciating the song... So people should really just listen, because no one is here because of anything other than the fact they liked this song enough to go look it up on the computer. Seriously.

[lalahobbes]

I hate coming across a good song, looking it up on Youtube, and finding out Glee (shudder) covered it.

That, and don't do cough syrup- you will trip balls.

[scholar819]

God Bless America, God Bless Glee :)

[TheIsatkmais]

great! And Darren singing was wonderful too!

[raball11]

This was on glee? huh.

[ajkelton]

@raball11 You're kidding me.... damnit!

[LovePeaceSmile15]

True Glee brought me here but now i love both versions so a win win (:

[bobbtjones33222]

I am a hater, Glee sucks



[mackyboy89]

Because of Glee, this song is now popular. look at the views. look when it was posted. . . look how Glee helps the singers nowadays. 

[edusampaster]

K A R O F S K Y

[zachman0808]

nickelback is better

[Tuckle]

You guys are acting like Glee STOLE the song or something. Simmer the fuck down, I am quite sure Young the Giant are ECSTATIC that their song made it on Glee and that they now have new fans. Sheesh. You guys are worse than Bieber and Gaga stans.

[s2vics2]

goddamnit, i saw this thing on tumblr saying "you know you're a gleek if you can't listen to cough syrup without crying" and i was like PSCH i challenge that

and then i lost.

[Meemo2679]

@s2vics2 Agreed!

[melissamm1997]

Hey ya ZEKE FROM TOONTOWN

[melissamm1997]

good music



[LadyParabellum]

Gotta comment about the glee version? go to the glee version VIDEO and feel free to post your comment there...

[Tuckle]

@LadyParabellum But I want to comment on the Glee version here!!!!! Comment Comment Glee Version, Glee Version

[anjeboo91]

If it wasn't because of Glee, many people won't give a fuck. So respect! Don't simply bash Glee when in fact you are always watching the show every fuckin week! Don't act like a stupid fuck who pretend never watch the show at all!

Fuck all of you so-call haters!

[congressman92maxwell]

Also.... Damn, this is a good song :D

[congressman92maxwell]

Few things are more annoying than when a simply good piece of music on YouTube gets bombarded with discussions of To Glee or Not to Glee. Just enjoy the song! What the hell is up with people having heated arguments via YouTube comments? I don't often leave comments on videos, but I am now to say this: Go for a bike ride. Meet a friend for coffee. Do something OTHER than leave profanity-ridden hate-comments on a YouTube video. Btdubs, the singer of this band looks like Nick from New Girl :P

[fairyphantom]

Music to my ears

[alexisamajorn00b]

This song is great. And Darren Criss did a great job at singing it.

[cirquedufreak08]

@alexisamajorn00b So does Sameer.

[RoarShaw95]

Watch 'Little White Doves' by Dirty Vegas, soo good! best song ever!! :D

[Analu1404]

i just simply falll in love to this song!

[Summer00Mermaid]

Last week, i was looking for a song and i found this band. I fell in love with their music and i noticed they weren't as known as i thought they were. So then a few days later i'm watching glee and i heard this song, i completely freaked out lolol. So NO glee did not bring me to this song. (:

[CrazyyCindyy8207]

Does anyone know the meaning of this song?

[BassDownLow513]

If you actually care to read most of this, then thanks, to those few who will..

Me and my friend just made a band, and we dream of making it big, although that goal is just a dream still, and we hope it won't stay that way.

We don't have the money for big advertisements or effects, but if just a couple of you guys take about 2 seconds to "Thumbs up" this comment, then that's 2 more chances we have at making it big.

Thanks,all you who help us in our goal.

Thanks for your attention...

[puddingthemonkey]

witch version do yall like Glee or Young The Giants

[keystonedtp]

Glee is totally gay.

[Pommejaune78]

@keystonedtp Is that supposed to be an insult?

[puddingthemonkey]

@keystonedtp well ovcourse but that don't mean that its not good hello theirs like 6 gay people on the show im not gay and i love it soo don't hate watch u might like it

[CrazyyCindyy8207]

@keystonedtp No it's not. 

[Bobonification]

@keystonedtp well, you certainly didn't even watch their cover video. By saying that you participate in pushing more kids to attempt suicide. "Gay" is not an insult.

[italianguy27]

Some people do not actually give a damn about music: they just need to find a singer or band that are not too popular because this give them the illusion that they are being different and better as they listen to something "special". I always found this extremely childish but hey, you know what? Your band gave the rights to have their song performed in Glee. If you don't like this find something else to listen. Music belongs to us tall. There's nothing you can do about it. Deal with it.

[maritmbr234]

For Example i'm brazilian and i just know it young the giante by glee, and i'm very happy for this had happened, id love both versions, this song, the letter, and the way Ryan put in the episode when Bartowisk was trying to suicide.

[STATUSreality]

Darren Criss from GLEE brought me here, yeah. But I stayed for Young the Giant.

I like both versions, and this song probably gained thousands of hits from people like me who wanted to hear the original version. Get over yourself. You should be happy Glee featured your band.

[cutenessxp]

@STATUSreality im confused !!! so you are on which side , me i think both are amazing but the original is better simply because its the original and glee is a cover

[gabriellaaa592]

I think people should watch the performance of Glee's version before they bash it (if they haven't done so) because it's extremely emotional. Please don't go bashing the Glee version before you listen to it.

[puddingthemonkey]

@gabriellaaa592 ya it was soo imotional i cried soo sad i love this song and this is the first time i hear about this band sooo im curious

[richardheath94]

Great song, good cover by Darren Criss too.

[Bobonification]

I don't understand how people can be so ignorant. You hate Glee because it paid tribute to the song you love? Or because they "ruined" it? Did you even listen to their version and can you honestly say that Darren Criss sang it horribly? Did you hear him sing out of tune? Or did you not like the arrangement?... It was exactly the same as Young the Giant's... If you like the original better, it's still not a reason to hate on Glee.

[puddingthemonkey]

@Bobonification amen to that

[wOoL87]

Amazing song. Also found it via Glee and i's the first Blaine-song I liked in a long while, and it also fits the suicide attempt scene perfectly. Frigging goosebumps.

[itsahairflip3]

I love this song, ever since I heard it last year! But now I love it even more that glee covered it too! Double Love!

[mazmadiagirl]

Yes glee brought me here. Awesome song :)

[AyyeTrixie]

Why is everyone hating on Glee? I admit I'm also a Gleek, but they made Young the Giant get more fans with this amazing song. Both versions are great. :)

[dragonuvkiller666]

love the guitar at 2:37

[elosokoaladecba]

I'm a fucking glee lover but i love both versions! I mean, they're different! And please, STOP hating Glee... if u only know how much people it had helped, you would just shut your fucking mouth out!

[oraclelb]

@elosokoaladecba I love my music i HATE glee...AAAHH that feels so much better.

:)

[rodrigosalasja]

glee glee glee glee glee glee glee glee <3

[jdonahue62]

There's another version of this song on iTunes by a band called Perfect Gentleman. Oddly, it's the only thing the band seems to have released, and it came out as a single a month after Young the Giant's original. Anyone know what the story is? Who covers a song so soon after the original, and makes it a single? It's just strange. (And, even odder, it's the first thing that comes up when you search for "cough syrup" in iTunes.)

[allaboutmoi468]

Can Glee stop bring people here....

[hydraye]

@allaboutmoi468 The band is good, very good and that's an amazing song and If people like it that means that the persons who wrote it have reach their goal ! It doesn't matter how we discovered it, what count is that people like the song and share it !

I'm a fan of Glee and I think that their version is good, it's not like if they ruin it ! It brings more fan to the band

Now people will always have something to tell...

So just stop spit on Glee or others and enjoy the song please

[wOoL87]

@allaboutmoi468 Why? So you can feel more elitistic? ;-P

[winnergirls2]

It does not matter who sings it its the message that counts And I Think Glee and the Original sound equaly good!

[MissMicaC]

Just Wow! Somehow this song makes me feel both happy and sad at the same time. Much love for this song!

[negativex4]

102.1 The Edge.

[dropsofchances]

i can't even, this song is fucking amazing.

[dimitrischapose]

love the song. period

[MrDabith]

I love Song (original song)

Thank Glee !!

[AmziiTL]

I have one thing to say.

The Band has an ad-ish thing under the video promoting that this song was featured on Glee.

Get over yourselves "fans". If the band is excited to promote that Glee brought us here, then stop crying.

You are so annoying.

Love this song!!!

[DiamondTia17]

Thank You Glee <3

[TheKnizouille]

Whatever what people say and keep saying, Glee is amazing, and so is the Band.

And to whom it may concern : "Life's too short to even care at all .."

[TheBreaking11]

super uwielbiam tę piosenkę <3 i jeszcze pojawiła się w Glee <3

[LiviaVitty]

OH MY GOD, what's the point of all this fighting? Everytime Glee covers a song, we have to read pages and pages of fighting comments on Youtube.. Please, stop it and grow up.

Glee made me know this song, but now it's on repeat.

[NicoleMakesYouUp]

Am I the only one who hears 'These bitches in the sea are staring at me'?? Hahaha, every time! I really don't care if I only came here because I heard the song on Glee. I personally love both renditions, and its the SONG thats kept me repeating it non-stop. Its beautiful, and I'm glad I know of it now! I'm pretty sure if I were a musician I would be honored to get a cover on Glee. 

[triplethreat0824]

@NicoleMakesYouUp I think it's fishes.. haha

[NicoleMakesYouUp]

@triplethreat0824 Lol yeah I know, just the way it sounds makes me hear something else!

[virusAlex20]

glee sucks.

this band doesn't

[chelseacutey305]

Why are you guys so freakin' mad?... Its a good thing glee covered this amazing song! cause if they didn't we young people that has crappy music to live with has nothin' to listen to except nicki minaj's -stupid hoe or some music that only has one lyric... I'am proud to say GLEE brought me here but The original Singers made me stay.. and i will be stayin' for good.. ^^
