Janis Joplin - Me & Bobby McGee

[clworthington3]

i love janis joplin! :D this is her best song. ^^

[1954771]

I'm not a Joplin fan but can anyone please tell me if Janis did a song with the lyrics somewhere along the lines of "I got on tha boat and they didnt know where to go"...or "I told the man where to go" .Even if it's not a Janis song at least it would be a help-thanks.

[lisalennonxoxo]

fatcats1000 why don't you learn it on guitar and sing it to her. She won't be able to hear it at her funeral.

[tayaemerald]

Voice of no other, the world would be a lot better if we still had people like that in our music industry instead of people like Justin bieber... Shes pure talent and passion this women! X

[jbooo123456789]

I have a brother named bobby

[ragaroger65]

The voice of this woman...

[janedough64]

i would trade all of my tomorrows, for one single yesterday...

[janedough64]

you go fatcat!!!

[technicmen]

i don't understand the words but this song makes me cry

[MrToggBott]

the only woman i ever heard that could make a song song sound dirty just from the sound of her voice

[JORGEUGAZ10]

que bonita cancion

[itwastheweed]

TOP SONG

[excuzzzeme]

SHe was loved so much and yet so misunderstood. Too bad it killed her. The good always die young.

[shovingwords]

this is one of those songs that, upon the first hearing, I knew it was going to be with me forever. Her vocal performance on this is incredibly soulful. Such an amazing talent!

[MrMrmorphman]

the only person that would say anything negative to this song has got to be CRAZY. This is what real music was all about. All the haters just listen to the words..... you might learn something

[missLUVSgreenday]

...38 people got left with a ring on their hand.....

[XiuHsFire]

she may not have been a beauty queen but she had a voice of angle's

[binjal07]

LOVE THE OLD SKOOL MUCH LUV FROM US AUSTRALIANS...

[KiaSelatile]

I adore this woman, if it's know bother could you check out my cover of this song. Thank you

[timsmashuhoe]

@theodra2345 yea true but back than they had better acid real 25 now days people think they are doing acid unless u live in some mountain tribe your probably not doing it and some idiot going to say he does it and he does dmt and I'm going to say worry about your brain and your health or u will end up like a lot of people did

[iHaVckSporTz]

love my janis terrrific she is my favorite artist of all time

[originofsymmetry97]

Somewhere, I imagine Janis, Amy and Kurt (he was a pretty feminine guy) doing each other's nails or something... RIP

[Babylove727]

@originofsymmetry97 Please do not speak about Kurt in the same sentence as Janis

[fatcats1000]

the day my mom passes away I will play this song at her funeral I she loves this song this was her era when she was a hippy

[tbg0o]

@fatcats1000

[dlburtyo]

@fatcats1000 hippies never die, we live on forever :)

[lorgcycorg]

@fatcats1000 same here my parents wer hippies they love this song



[hirdy6]

Great song, a classic. Love the message at the end, Thanks for sharing and trying to make a difference.

[wishyouwereheresyd]

happy birthday janis

[johnyzero2000]

I always wished i could sing like her, when I sing I sound like animated white bread and mayonaise.

[spencesbaby]

haha..love the lil positive message there at the end :)

[ThatGirlUOB]

Her voice is pure raw Power.

[natoshatevans]

another one of my all time favs......

i even got a christmas ornament of janis!

[TheJaybird7]

So glad I have an Uncle Bob McGhee or I probably woulda never heard this great tune.

[73karad]

Even though janis wasnt in my time i love her music a tragic story with a beautifull voice if she was here today she would have been a hit my fav all time song from here is bobby

[deceptacon11]

great song great singer end of discusion

[AdemarSantiago]

Janis, I will always love you!!!!

[Ivonsukita]

This is the one that always makes me cry. I love this song and I love Janis a lot. She is the best singer I know... and this song is just SO Me and Bobby Mcgee...

PERFECT

[mwmaxwgreen]

Where are all the Janises nowadays? While there are a few lovely ladies who sing, there are none who sing, not of the shallowness of teen angst, but of real pain and loss, who can express it, much like Janis did with every song she sang. And yet, at the same time, she also celebrated the very joy of living, in spite of the pain that travelling this Mortal Coil brings with every moment.

[torkerbmx]

murdered by u know who

[baruch60610]

"I'd give all my tomorrows for one single yesterday,,," and that's what she did.

[nanc191]

I loved her and her music back then, lucky to see her live performance, and she is still outstanding!! She is a national treasure to me.

[Llewellan]

There is a big difference between being naturally and such a natural beauty compared to enhanced lifts, tucks, sucks and such. Janis was downright RAW! Her looks, her body and her voice. Man you aint ever gonna get any more beautiful than RAW!

[perryvillegirlMO]

so whatever she didnt fit in to societys image of beauty. that just makes me love her more. nowadays you just need a prity face and they can meke you sound good. not her thoue. her voice speeks for its self.

[barker940]

Now a days Im listening to Disturbed and Marilyn Manson. But I remember her. Oddly, enough I didnt like her music until after she died. A Women Left Lonely is blistering! It tears you apart!

[pokipsi777]

she is so beautiful! thank you, janis! :)

[75leeloo]

i love this song and i love janis...

[ReturnLittleBlueFish]

She had an amazing life. Go Janis!!!!! This song rocks!!

[penenola]

Good,Good

[NoRosesForMe]

A different choice...does alcohol count? I dont drink nearly as much as I used to but I NEVER touched heavy dope. I have relatives & loved ones who are strung out and will be for the rest of their lives. I used to think I was really doin' somethin' terrible by drinkin' but,,,,,nah I know there are much worse things to do. Thank gawd I can sip whiskey casually now. These "daze". And not go all out and down a half a fifth and pass out anymore. Im just ..mellow now. Thank god. Thank somebody hehe!

[NoRosesForMe]

feelin good was good enough....good enough for me &,,,,,,him ♥ ...for a time

[18TheCrow18]

Amo questa donna

[TheJedgeworth]

From God above...Miss Janice Joplin!

[hunny2224]

LOVE

[darkhearts123451]

my moms friend went to school with her!!!

[bubbysaint123]

is it just me or is she really hot

[JosephCee]

Did drugs REALLY take her?? Like it supposedly took everyone else. Or was it the occult controlled music industry?

[expoonation]

@JosephCee

I always thought it pretty "coincedental" that Janis, Jim & Jimi all died at 27 within 3 months... Not to mention Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson who died a few weeks before all of them, also at age 27... All four are written off as "died through too much drugs"...

And let's not forget some of these guys come from Military families... (Jim Morrisons dad was a driving force behind the Vietnam War)

[torkerbmx]

@JosephCee same folks who killed JFK and Hendrix , the extreme Right

[yellowfellow5678]

Omfg guis i grew up in the wrong fucking generation. fjdsljflsdkj

[METALis4ME96]

@yellowfellow5678 i wish i could like this a million times. i feel the same way

[yellowfellow5678]

@METALis4ME96 :)

[Midorieuh]

@yellowfellow5678 Same here -_-

[IjonahPailez]

@yellowfellow5678

no you are in the right one, because of this you get all of the good music that has existed since the beginning of time :)

[raintalonwindclan]

McGee is my last name. :P

[GutterballT]

Another prime example why heroine is bad, children T-T

[CourtneyLovesA7x]

This is so cute<3 I love this song(:

[twrrob]

i love this song



[lautaroalamos]

Where did the drugs took her? Lets go get her

[weird1321]

@lautaroalamos We'll need lots of LSD, Weed and Alchohol. I'm In :)

[TheCrypticIllusions]

Janis has the best pipes around....

[19workerbee]

thanks for posting! janis was amazing, and i loved the pics!

[savagenapree]

I understand heated debates and all; but I don't understand why people who don't like her music in the first place are popping in and sending me rude emails. I just LOVE all kinds of music. If you don't like her music; that's cool. No reason to hunt me down to insult me. You shouldn't have popped in on this song anyway. To the lovers of Janis; and the honest debaters with something intelligent to say--rock on!

[NoRosesForMe]

@savagenapree Right on! ....wow......Thats all I can think to say,,,,right on! Hugs n peace and everything you hope for. I mean that. "Jenny"

[savagenapree]

@NoRosesForMe What a nice thing to say! Thank you! :-)

[lookin4skeezas]

@savagenapree well played sir. theyre still in their teens. rock on brother.

[165valley]

@savagenapree I appreciat your emails and have no way people would object to her.

Whatever could be wrong. I love Janis and thank you for posting.

[peacemamma33]

@savagenapree don't worry about what people say. music is the key to your soul and you have the right to like any music you want. peace love and light to you...

[TheJodi3170]

@savagenapree I love Janis. Wish we could have had her for a while longer though.

[bclionsroar]

j morrison ,j hendrix ,and j,joplin all died way to young and music would b better if they were still alive they were music back then lov ya all................

[oneless29]

office matt is an idiot kobain felt pain it shows in his music and thats y its still played u obviously know nothing about additction its the same in this song heres a thought u can ponder whats the difference between your head and your ass if u dont know you should be quit shhh! you know nothing my friend who agrees (and i know idid not punctuate or spell correctly figure it out clown)

[torigob00m]

@xtattedxupxmommyx What smudge? I don't see it.. It must not matter.

[chadjdenton]

drugs are good man

[xtattedxupxmommyx]

There's a smudge on the LIKE BAR, anyone have a tissue?

[ma3dba3ll]

she was created to sing....wonderful

[MrBuf1987]

I like the video except the end where it says drugs took her at 27, technically that's false, she, like everyone else chose to do drugs and did enough to overdose. The drugs didn't take her anywhere, she took the drugs.

[officematt]

Um, Cobain is not even in the same league as Joplin. He's famous for offing himself, that's it. Nirvana is still played on radio because Cobain offed himself. If he hadn't eaten that shotgun, nobody would have cared for them now.

[sexysixxable]

I love the picture of Janis with the dog!

[TheStoner52]

Love this!!!!!



[juggalettewcfl]

it pisses me off that sum1 can call her ugly!!! janis joplin was one of the most beautiful women of all time her voice was phenominal nd she was very beautiful just because she didnt get up there and shake her ass nd all that makes her ugly??? i dont think so music was so much better back than!! nd now its all about tits nd ass! then... it was about the music!!! <3 you janis

[Mystylplx]

@juggalettewcfl

She was, is, and always will be a goddess. Totally agree--one of the most beautiful women of all time. Thanks for saying that. And Janis, if you're up there somewhere looking down on this (as if she doesn't have better things to do, but just in case) then I just want to say THANK YOU! And that you are LOVED. And always will be. You are TIMELESS and people will be loving you as long as there are recordings of your music. And as long as people still have ears.

[HouseHoldGuy1]

@juggalettewcfl it's so weird.... my mom looks just like her lol

too bad she isn't as cool as Janis

[xxsolidsnake937xx]

@juggalettewcfl

Agreed, at the end of her days her looks kind of faded, but she was a very beautiful woman in her prime. And her voice is still unmatched to this day, in both men and women singers. I just wish she was around longer so she could create more awesome music.

[pattyaaron]

@juggalettewcfl the people that say she is ugly??? All I can say is your are missing the point, her music is phenomenal, she was a gifted artist.

[juggalettewcfl]

@pattyaaron yes she was

[peacemamma33]

@juggalettewcfl its because she sings the truth and most people cant deal with real life so they have to find a way to judge.....no judging here.....peace love and light to you

[HayleeCricketWard]

I'm 15, in 2011, and Janis Joplin is my idol! :)

[savagenapree]

Lol. I don't have much of a response to people without varied musical tastes and influences. She has her spot in history. As she should. Peace out.

[AyoT7]

she looks like a right idiot

[FuzzBean84]

@AyoT7 What about a "wrong" idiot??? I love English dialect. ;)

[crocodile2545]

Une voix cassée ajoutée à la beauté de la mélodie : splendide !

[barrleracer99]

I love this woman!!

[DoorsAreOpen13]

If there wasn't a 27 club, the world would be a different place.

[tedayrom]

we all miss you janis.

[ihatebarnie3]

during the adverstisment my grandma said she was gonna choke the geico Lizard

[BasementBeginnings]

@ihatebarnie3 Thanks for sharing. =)

[1namnori]

kurt cobain?? not even close sorry

[trippincat22]

Wonderful. :)

[whodee411]

I like that last line. Drugs "took" her at 27. Really? Like she was just sitting there minding her own business and suddenly, out of nowhere, BAM!! Drugs "took" her. Whomever wrote this may be confused about how the whole Drug thing works. In order for them to do anything, you have to "take" them first. And I dont wanna point any fingers, but I think the Drugs were justified in "taking" her back, not to mention all the years that she had been abusing Drugs. She really had it coming.

[doug47130]

@whodee411

Chill out. Everybody knows what the point of that message was.

Doesnt matter that much how it was said.

[toobularbells]

@whodee411

Thanx for 'splainin that...ya fuckin retard

you shoulda been a blowjob

[savagedias]

If you like Janis, check out Joss Stone.

[freddythephenom]

@savagedias lol joss stone? janis would blow joss shitty stone away - literally

[savagedias]

@freddythephenom Actually they would probably spend a lot of time singing with each other, smoking, & laughing, Both are free spirits with soul filled raspy voices & would get along very well.

[MaRia987Chih]

i can listen to this song over and over and never get bored. RIP Janis Joplin

[toasty372]

those one who dislike this classic.. you should only like Justin Bieber!! you don't know about great music!!



[NateSean]

@toasty372 The thing that makes even less sense than your comment is that three other people agree with you.

[gabiioiq]

Trips, camps, restaurants in the middle of nowhere... Memories. Just Memories.

[savagenapree]

Who in their right minds could dislike her???? Classic.....

[ironmannar]

@savagenapree Anybody that has good taste in music could dislike her.

[conwaycameron91]

@ironmannar Anybody who has good taste in music would show her all out respect for all she did for music and the Rock'n Roll revolution in turn all modern music using a guitar.

[clutchmc22]

@savagenapree this guy

[ELPOLLOLOCO5472]

@clutchmc22 then get the fuck off of this page, your obviously def.

[pattyaaron]

@savagenapree 31 assholes...



[hooochiekoo]

i'm apparently looking at a different woman.. regardless of her amazing voice, she was absolutely beautiful!

[yokomustdie]

Best female vocalist. Ever. No doubt.

[RainbowZen999]

I named my only child after this. It stands as an anthem for the spirit of the time.

[macamos06]

LOL !! There's no singer like her...

[Joobz1980]

Too young my sister, we miss you

[joebombero1]

Who could ever click they dislike this? I just cannot understand people sometimes. This is just great stuff. The world really misses you Janis. Female Kurt Cobain? I think female Elvis is more like it- listen to those lungs...amazing.

[nakhia420]

23 people are tone deaf

[Xelly1987]

Janis...... como muitos deixou sua marca mas tbm muitas saudade de um época em que a musica era musica de verdade!!!!!

[4peggysue]

I've missed Janis for many years and now that Amy is gone, I think they are in heaven together.

[xoxosierraxoxoxx]

So what if she wasn't pretty.?! Her voice is the only thing that matters <3 it's what makes her beautiful.

[snugglebare71]

She would have kicked the 80's90's 2000's ass if she was still alive! lol

[politicalbeast1959]

@snugglebare71

Absolutely right!

[asherah12]

For the love of god, it's music-why is everyone so hung up on what singers look like? Who the hell cares? And shouldn't you have to submit a face pic to even comment?

[Live0Laugh0Twilight]

i dont get how people said she wasnt pretty.... i think she was beautiful.....

[bob54446]

@TheOldcountryboy it aint that sad

[shoprat17]

This song was actually wrote by Kris Kristofferson. He dated her from 68- til she died in 70. The song is actually about her and in the orginial (his) version bobby was female and in joplins hes male obviously...

[krisnsteph]

I love her. I will always love her, and my children will love her.

[bob54446]

@thealligatoral1 never heard of her untill that song if heaven wasnt so far away were it says "and janis to sing the second verse of me and bobby mcgee

[TheOldcountryboy]

@bob54446 i love that song. so sad

[TheOldcountryboy]

@bob54446 i love that song! really sad though

[bob54446]

whos Janis Joplin?

[thealligatoral1]

@bob54446 she a legend

[jackmorris66]

janis is a beautiful soul! she has an amazing voice... no1 will ever compair 2 her

[kozmicblues14]

@start12poop wow.... In this world, you dont refer to her as dead drug addict. "dead drug addict isnt her name' Her name was JANIS! HERE LEMME SPELL IT OUT J-A-N-I-S! didnt your Parents raise you Better than that? guess not. go listen to your autotuned pop music. YOU DONt have to like Janis or love her But You Will Respect her at least! and ill SAY IT AGAIN If YOU FUCKING HATE JANIS SO MUCH WHY DO U SEND DUMBASS REPLIES TO MY NICE COMMENTS I MAKE ABOUT HER AND WATCH HER VIDEOS?

[69hardlyangel]

UMMM AMY WINEHOUSE GONE TO AGE 27 SO SAD

[ClarkBarAWSOME611]

i miss listening to her so much :( put thank god we have you tube

[DoorsAreOpen13]

It's so stupid that so many people are died on their 27. I'm a big fan of Jim Morrison and he we will never forget him

[kozmicblues14]

@start12poop Im not really Judgeing them I could go on and on about how I hate them . I just dont like their personality I think they are fake( people like Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and Miley cyrus). at least Janis was real and you just judged Janis by calling her a dead drug addict. Yeah she was an addict but that wasnt what made Janis ,Janis she was a beautiful woman,singer,sister,daughter, friend, lover to people in her lifetime. Like I said if you hate Janis so much then dont go on her vids.

[kozmicblues14]

@start12poop Im talking when she wasnt on crap like Herion. I watch videos of her in interviews and I also read her sisters book "Love, Janis. so I kinda get to know what she was like. and no i wasnt friends and nor did I go to school with her. she died 26 years before I was born for christ sakes. I suggest if you dont like Janis then heres a concept dont troll on her videos on youtube. May she R.I.P You really shouldnt Judge her or anyones else because it gets you nowhere in life. Peace.

[katelynblack101]

like this if Justin Moores 'If Heaven Wasnt So Far Away' didnt bring you here :))

[derailedpoet]

Janis will always be the queen of my heart. She had more soul thank any lady from her time. R.I.P. Sweets. xo

[KillerKwean13]

i see something now i never saw b4...Janis looks a little like my mother did...weird...

[NokDwai]

i don't know...i always thought she was really pretty...and i love her voice...rip.

[gazrobbo53]

Legend. Janis. xx

[ashman4202]

The Female Kurt Cobain in my opinion...RIP all members of the 27 club and the newest member Amy

[dempy96]

@ashman4202 amy doesn;t belong in the 27 club

she isn't talented enough in my opinion...sorry

[SmileNowCryNever1992]

@ashman4202 that curse is creepy

[TheAlxxHydeShow]

@ashman4202 Personally, by her sound, I would call her the female Robert Plant. :P

[ashman4202]

@TheAlxxHydeShow Nice..
