Annie's Song - Weezer

[Dagwood22]

All you people have to realize that weezer has made a name as a kinda half out of tune band.

[sonofsilence]

great cover. this has been added to my FB group dedicated to covers- "The Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version''

[murphslaw123]

I'm impressed that they would be interested in doing a cover.

[golferweir]

The voices aren't really comparable. People should just stick to their own music, this was hard for me to listen to...

[patientlywaiting10]

@darkfishy87 I was gonna ask the same thing lol.

[cheezkid]

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do a wayyy better version of this song

[hotforxx]

I'm impressed.

[ryw1118]

My cousins First dance song for his wedding in August 2011

[C00chieSmash]

denver couldnt keep my intrist but weezer did, not tryin to start an argument on youtube im just being honset

[xoSerenade]

great version, my fav is the one from my best friend's wedding. the three dudes with the hellium voices XD!

[SaraDiva001]

I still like the original best.  But this is nice too.

[dedzpatatas]

nice sOng

[estrellitasalazar]

I love this version! But I love the original as well. :)

[loveblooom]

i love this vesion so much

[pieceomeat]

I love venison too...this song makes me want to go out and shoot me a deer and eat that fucker with barbecue sauce in a slow cooker. Nothing like eating the meat that you took instead of these pussy fuckers who buy their meat that someone ealse has killed so they can enjoy it without having to actually work for it. My steaks....I eat knowing the scarifice of the great beast that I took with respect as opposed to the cow that got killed without anyone respecting it. Fresh country meat is real!

[OniKokoro88]

@ConfederateKlan

Lol Oh the blithering ramblings if the ignorant and redneck

I pity you.

My parents work harder than you ever have, sitting in your little log cabin in the middle of fucking nowhere, you hick piece of white trash.

They've never once been on welfare.

And they've also never cooked for dinner whatever roadkill they've scraped out of the gutter or off their grill, which I'm sure you do at least once every other week.

[gabers32]

Sweet cover! Damn those lyrics... So visual.

[timdoog42]

Damm. nicely done Weezer. brian sounds good on the guitar

[WTFvictor]

This is all rivers, Lol

[c64c64c64]

nice to see weezer cover this and risk being called uncool :) great song, nice cover

[soulshinz]

wow...he could've at least tried to get the guitar close...sounds like a monkey banging on a kitchen stove...great job on the vocals, but i'd be embarrassed about the guitar...it's a very poor representation of this song

[tajto]

have you ever heard a monkey banging on a kitchen stove? it's pretty awesome

[pieceomeat]

Maybe he has...some people have sex with monkey sand thats how aids came about. Atleast that is one theory. Africans from the Congo Screwing Monkeys and killing them. Did you know that we know from genetics now that the frist recorded aids death came from Africa in the EARLY 1900s? Wild huh? Anyway...I like this version...no monkeys.

[tajto]

i thought aids came from people that had sex with members of the monkees... i must have misheard my professor

[pieceomeat]

@tajto OH THATS what it was....silly me....damn that lack of attention span!

Thanks for the laugh!

[C00chieSmash]

@tajto my professor said the monkeys got it from your from your mom......... i dont think i misheard my professor

[dolfandan]

An absolutely beautiful cover....awesome!!!

[y2k123]

5/5 nice

[mntlPurple]

Actually this cover is just by Rivers Cuomo, the lead singer/guitarist, its not "technically" by Weezer but whatever close enough i suppose

[markre60]

John's the man...but Weezer killed.

[AdrianneWalker]

why does this have thumbs down lmao it's a compliment..

[jdugmar]

Rivers Cuomo is great and i have to say this is amazing......sounds very sad, i ile the moog or jeyboard (whatever it is)

[JoshUncool]

Though i prefer the original, I love this cover and love this band.

[popprincessember]

i actually liked this weird verzion it was hott in its own weird way <3 i loved it in fact =)

[Ariesandyhitam]

love it,....

[Earthlinked]

EVEN being included with the standard Windows 95 - they STILL didn't make a splash!!! I'd love to have their promo guy working for me - we'd make some real money!!!!!

[dlc208]

seriously, you must admit that it is hard to believe that these are professionals

[pooopdick]

it's a demo.

[Logser]

Vocals are fine....

[scottyzcupcake]

i like the lyrics... ^_^

vocals could be a little better though... but the lyrics are wonderful :)

[MountainWoods]

this is absolutely horrible, listen to john denver

[btoothb]

weezer rules!

[0Aheri]

Terrible!!!

[Zebelon1Hedlund]

Its their interpretation...im a huge Denver fan and I enjoy hearing this version, they do it their way and John did it his way...

[cheezkid]

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes do this cover WAYYYY better

[Jimvesterstallone]

NO WAY. Are you kidding?!

[greg5566]

Good lord, does Weezer always suck this bad? I agree with samalo1995.

[samalo1995]

The vocals suck. John Denver would be puking in his grave.

[bmesiasbmesias]

pez068 said exactly what I was thinking

[pez068]

i think John Denver would have been proud of them, it's not a bad effort. i do prefer John Denver's version, but i like this one also, it's got hole

[darkfishy87]

@pez068 hole?

[OniKokoro88]

I don't know the original version of this song, but I really like this version :]

[pumba28]

the original version is by john denver and it is so much better than this i love the john denver version

[AreYouAFool]

He's...not really a good singer.

Though it's not awfully bad

[tanvomet]

that sounds great this song is deap and is dune with respect it sounnds fn great

[eddthe123444]

awful cac

[Knarf009]

God I hate Weezer and this god awful rendition of this song.

Weezer is just bad, really, they're just bad and I hope they all die...why John Denver ended up dying in a place crash and this guys are still kicking makes me mad.

[iHoady]

Wow.

While I agree that this version isn't terribly good, what you said is extremely exaggerated and over the top.

[Knarf009]

My opinion is exaggerated? Weezer makes my head hurt, so I'm pretty sure my opinion is dead on. Also, I really wouldn't care if they died considering I don't like any of their songs and hate having to hear their new crap on the radio. If their death could save a good band then I would definitely be all for it.

[iHoady]

If your death saved a cancer patient, I'd be all for it.

[Knarf009]

Really? What if the cancer patient hated Weezer more than I do and went on to murder one of the members after he/she got better?

Ya gotta be careful what you wish for, man.

[iHoady]

While I think weezer are utter shite, wishing death upon anyone for the reason they make music you dislike is retarded.

That leads me to believe the chances of a cancer patient having less than 1 brain cell slim, so your scenario is void.

My scenario isn't though, as you clearly have nothing to add to the world.

Adios, amigo

[Knarf009]

I love how hypocritical you are.

You don't know who I am, what I've done or if I'm a good person or not, yet, based only a few youtube comments, you're willing to say I deserve to die. But no, you're a much better person than I am. XD

Such pathetic self-righteousness, it pleases me greatly.

[iHoady]

Oh. I forgot you knew Weezer personally, and that they are horrible people who deserve to die. All because they make music which, in your opinion, isn't very good.

I'm just like you!

Did I say I was a good person? No. I don't give a fuck what you think. I just said I hope you die for no reason, as you said about others.

If you can't take that, don't say it you self you inbred waste of shit.

And you call ME a hypocrite!

Ok Ok, I've finished laughing now!

AHAHAHAHA.

[Knarf009]

lol u mad?

[OniKokoro88]

You're both funny.

[ArtsyGal20]

lol i think this convo is funny. wen i was reading it im like "oh wull i wonder if they have a good comeback for that..." and both of u are really smart cuz u both had great comebacks!! that was a really well-played argument on your guys's part!!

bottom line tho- noone deserves to die, and although weezers version isn't some people's favorite, other people like it and you should respect that (you should also respect what the person has to say if they DONT like it lol)

[ArtsyGal20]

(the commment below this one was for Knarf009 and iHoady on the 2nd page)

[Leinieslightman]

sucks

[XXtraspicee123]

i like this version except for the beeping in the middle it sounds like a mcdonnalds toy that plays a song its awful other than that i like this version better

[sethwenen]

I prefer the gimme gimmes punk version, but they still have a lot to improve

[Establishmentrock]

you just can't touch the original. it's like trying to cover a beatles song or a woodie guthrie song.

[penguinSOCKS]

weezer is one of my favorite bands and i think they did a good job posting this

[julyblondie08]

This song is amazing and beautiful!!!! WEEZER did a great job!

[Leinieslightman]

not really. Listen to the orginal song. Not even close.

[julyblondie08]

ya but they made it their own. Which is what your suppose to do when you cover cause you can never do it exactly like the original.

[desy2478]

What's wrong with someone paying tribute to a great song and putting their own style into it. They're not trying to better the original they just love the song so much they want to sing it. Great job weezer.

[Earthlinked]

Your point here is completely correct!!! Good job!! And I'm sure Denver does not mind - his estate still gets the air-play residual paychecks!!!

[weirddaytoday]

people getting up in arms over this should chill out. rivers recorded the song probably because he really likes it, it's not WEEZER per say, just the lead singer paying tribute to a great song.

[scarletdove]

Crappy! Sorry!

[Jaminathull]

As a Sheffield united fan and a massive weezer fan, i love this (any guys who dont know, this is the sheffield united song.)

[CrashingThrough1]

dumb ass this is a john denver song. sheffield must have coverd it cuz john made it in 1974

[Jaminathull]

even bigger dumb ass, sheffield united are a football (soccer) team that adopted the song as their anthem

[Kalosian]

rofl, Crash, learn what you're talking about.

[XXtraspicee123]

that is really funny

actually hilarious

[julyblondie08]

I love this version better then John Denver.Actually it was my big sis's wedding song.BEAUTIFUL!!

[ruelvernal]

I love Annie's Song I thought I'm gonna despise this song since my ex broke up with me tragically(because I sang it to her multiple times).. Loved the John Denver version better, but this is decent.. :) Good job weezer and thanks for posting this..

[B4Bronco16]

That was garbage.

[OhioScot]

Rock =w= Music!

[driveit23]

why the hell would you try to remake that song you cant do it better you suck

[BlanchFury]

Wow...I have to say I'm not the least bit offended by this cover...and I've loved John Denver since I was 12...which was pretty much, uh, 1974...I can't say as much for whoever covered Leaving On a Jet Plane...didn't care much for THAT one...it's on YouTube somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look for it!
