Laibach - Across the Universe

[MantiaRyche]

I am not sure if its better than the original but its certainly more beautiful.

[TIMOTHYSAARINEN]

Beautiful, fascinating video.

[KGV1374]

Love it

[Klemenovsky]

čudovito... pozdrav iz Slovenije vsem!

[SanderBessels]

Laibach makes parodies by copying what they dislike, exagerating it, and giving it a load that it is unable to bare, so it collapses completely and all you can do is laugh. This video exposes the infantile dream of a perfect (nazi) world. It is so rediculous, that is utterly funny. If you think this is a serious remake of a Beatles song, you should really shake off that conservative load on your back. Just try it out, it's libarating :).

[fafne]

@SanderBessels

Yes, you may be right. But it exposes the infantile dreams of a perfect world from the left at the same time. The original song isn´t less silly, from a realistic point of view.

[HNsaunter]

e ako je pako lajko, i ja cho

[xxcarpeNoctem84xx]

...pure Art...I love it!

[mpabiik]

Ljubi vas majka!



[travno7]

Its about everlasting questions....its about states and kapital creating paradigm where little group controls whole planet...its life sources..energy...and all behind nationalism,military and fake propaganda.....Its about modern slick Nazi banks...its about dying children in Afrika..its about us believing in PROPAGANDA.....Laibach is total oposition to all that...

[kovacicmark]

Nice

[medita2010]

Interpretazione incantevole! Enchanting interpretation. Laibach is among my favourite artists ever.

[Pestgrube]

This song starts at 3:55 and I like it very much!

[Steggsie]

Erm, people do realise that this is a satire on Nazi aesthetics, right? Yes, it's beautiful, but it also chillingly exposes the conservatism of Nazi ideology. Fuck me, if you're going to (rightly) praise the video, at least show some understanding of what it is actually about.

[omegapoint777]

@Steggsie

>implying nazism is bad

[MrAxellsix]

Laibach is deffinitly ours the great musicionar,and that song is belive,allmost the best of them..

[vakisegk59]

Precrashno!!!....

[Klemenovsky]

as a Slovenian proud on Laibach (slovenain band). This song is beauty, philosophy, even theology... Another very deep slovenian band in my opinion is band called Sedmina (Veno Dolenc and Melita Dolenc) which combines elements of slav culture (folk) with main messages of human existence (personalism, existencialism)

[tattoovatch]

I love it !

[blueshifter]

ah, i found it! Laibach? really? that's freaking awesome!

[Carlos111111able]

It is beautiful how they show how through music and through the use of a certain language you also can conquer the hungry masses, you can manipulate the subjugated people in a bad or better way. It´s the hidden face of the pacifsim and musical revolution of the sixties

[RANDOPAUL]

@Carlos111111able Thank you for that comment! It's exactly what I try to explain to friends that want to know what good came out of the sixties!! Music was & is a very powerful influence!

[tavogx]

4:00 Vlad Tepes! :D

[279storm]

Laibach- i'm so proud they're my countrymen (Slovenia)

[HTprods]

There's an unreleased version of Across the Universe which is just like this.

[sarabernal]

simply beautiful

[Nutmover]

Nothings gonna change my world

[nonsensicaljudgement]

yeah it was written by the Beatles. Probably the greatest band ever. this cover is AMAZING

[JimmyCos]

That's the same woman with the bow and naked boobs in life is life :o

[055697]

@JimmyCos

no it isn't. this is anja rupel, who's a professional musician.

[JimmyCos]

@055697 Oops, sorry then

[gtyf2]

great!

[dd271828]

wtf the end

laibach coolest thang ever

[jrfuent]

Reminds me of 1995. I was travelling all across Germany at the time on biz and one day in my hotel room, I think it was in Gutersloh, I saw this vid in my room on the hotel's cable TV. will always remind me of that period.

[bugsy966]

fantastična Anja Rupel

[TheKobanc]

Zelo je lepa!

[greymalkin100]

Even after all this time, this still causes shivers :)

[raindog951]

Briliant.

[S0ulForgeD]

Naj živi NSK!

[blowfish3]

See, when I heard the Beatles sing this, I had no idea it was a lament for the history of Yugoslavia...

[spectrum99122]

This is what cringe sounds like.

[gmj2012]

Live music video performance, awesome version of this song. I didn't know it was this song until it started playing, it's different from Laibach's usual.

[gmj2012]

Live music video performance, awesome version of this song. I didn;t know it was this song until it started playing, it's different from Laibach's usual.

[theeCOSMOS]

OM

[punkrocker234]

wtf?

[MrMoronsrus]

This is a very excellent rendition and I'm sure Lennon would be pleased. This song doesn't need to be better than the original it's different and that's all it ever needs to be.

[Rohhaut]

@MrMoronsrus Sorry to say it, but Lennons' version is unique - but not as beautiful is this one.

[MrMoronsrus]

@Rohhaut Don't be sorry. All I meant was that I think he would have been pleased by the way they did this song justice. John Lennon was a fantastic composer, musician and, singer and this song is one of his best.

[Rohhaut]

@MrMoronsrus Hi, that's okay. I grew up with the Beatles... I really apreciate and love some songs by them. I think Lennnon whould have said This is too much kitsch - and whould have been totally wrong, 'cause things change. He didn't know that, did he? He was one of the greatest musicians -and he knew he was... I would never dare to touch Mr. Lennon as an icon, a milestone, but musicially you can doubt him and the Beatles.

[MrMoronsrus]

@Rohhaut Yah I grew up with the Beatles myself. I don't think Lennon would have thought it too much kitsch at

all and, had he lived long enough to have them get his permission to do the song, I think he would liked to have produced it himself.

[FreeMason34]

Spooky!

[H4mmerofD4wn]

He does have a deep voice! I wonder if he has the deepest voice out of anyone else in the world? I bet he does.

[naciTB]

savrsenstvo!

[MissAtheist1]

@naciTB To je ta riječ.

[bananaphone83]

fucking list



[bananaphone83]

not better than original, imo

[TheGilbertoCasanova]

Sounds like a Church's song jajaja

[MrBb100000]

i actually like this cover, sounds simple and sweet

[MrBb100000]

@MrBb100000 and at the end it goes a wee bit downhill but i still like it

[bronzegoat1]

This great song reeks of George Harrison. I wonder how many of his works Lennon and McCartney borrowed.

[revolutionary1948]

No one should care of anyones taste of music. Just listen to the music or leave it.

[CT68]

I knew when I saw this in the "Covers that are better than the originals" playlist that all the Beatles fans were gonna freak. People need to keep an open mind.

[Uebersoldat93]

@CT68 Nothings gonna change their world...

[goytabr]

@CT68, and be possessed and caressed... :-)

[Brunswick999]

Saying any cover of the beatles is better than the original is a bold statement

...but this.... no, just no

[BobbingForOlives]

That was just... awful.

[thehazeisgod]

This is one of the worst covers ever...

[IAmMonsterDog]

blah! it sounds like bad church music! Why would anybody think this is better than the Beatles?!?!???

[bitchyteengirl]

I'm sorry but this is terrible compared to the beatles...

[voirdire]

I like Fiona Apple's version better.

[Lastmanonearth]

This playlist is ruining Laibachs reputation. not cool. this cover is great and so is Laibach! so are the Beatles!

[rosiedog1]

This is horrible.

[eyeslikeezera]

you put me to sleep faster than my Trig homework

[grandexandi]

WOW REALLY? Better than the original?! REALLY?! Come on, that was a joke, right? I hope it was...

[shessobittersweet]

Maybe it's cause the Beatles version is like one of my favorite songs ever and they said this one would be better, but I don't care for this one at all.

[tmservo]

The original is WAY WAY better then this. 

[Neurodisco77]

@tmservo 

[Prodigiousguy8]

Furthermore, the playlist should have been titled "Covers that are good in their own way"

[Prodigiousguy8]

First of all, the original is way better, end of discussion. Secondly, there are several way better covers, such as Fiona Apple.

[0DinoPrincess0]

this is great..

but nothiing is greater than the beatles

[jordanreyesivan]

NO FUCKING WAY

[TheChatterpillar]

its sweet and hauntingly beautiful...

but doesn't invoke the same emotions or state of mind as did the beatles, who performed it in a different period. i'm not saying nobody is capable of covering it, its just difficult to achieve that original reaction ..

[failblorg]

@MrPabloFTW no but this is /watch?v=pLzqwjvFzBs

:P

[JoeTheLion188]

@MrPabloFTW But you must admit it stirs the soul none the less. That is the majesty and testament to this song. It is not better than The Beatles, but not worse, only... beautiful.

[Asatru19]

@MrPabloFTW u mad?

[thtsritesun1212]

not better than the beatles... fuck youtube

[trekkian88]

it's a FACT.... all the kids in this video were moslested

[trekkian88]

keep pressing 6 for dick going down throat!!!!!

[baronvg]

@trekkian88 Jesus, that is some weird shit right there. It's like something out of V!

[trekkian88]

how is this shit better than the original?

[titaboy123]

Fiona Apple's version is by far the best version of this song!!!

[NihilisticD]

They capture the Beatles sound, however Fiona Apple's version is musically superior. IMO

[AwesomeNessie]

i like the cover yes..but in MY opinion it is not better than the original.

[q7winq7]

Me dog heard this and ran out into traffic.

I miss my dog.

[cedoni]

Treba biti stvarno glup pa proglasiti Lajbah za naci bend.

It must to be really stupid and declare Laibach as a nazi band.

[swans1997]

Ooo that kid has one wicked adam's apple.

[logan76mv]

stupid

[aixalennon]

me gusta muchoo!

[pavlec]

Nice Slovenian promotion of Nacisme. Get it!

[KingNurk]

This is kinda ethereal,probably one of the best music videos ever.

[WOLFTOR47]

gee, u could MARCH TO IT! SIG! SIG! SIG! SURE GLAD JOHN NEVER HEARD IT,,,,,1ST HE'D VOMIT,,THEN HE'D SUE!!!!!!!!!!!

[lokoumi]

Love this song. 

[ColonelPamiat]

I prefer Francky Vincent version : "Alice ca glisse accross the universe"

[KatharsisWorks]

the final vocals made me laugh :P I don't like such songs in the Laibach's discography. There is not much text - not much to intepret and the shitty pop melody is not really enjoyable...

[mohikanin1]

very nice....

[apestasguey]

The singers snoring at the end

[timpeacock7]

It's good that the Fraud Four wrote some good songs; better still that these sublime Slovenes show how to interpret it at its best. AAAUUMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOOOooooooooommmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Long And Winding Road?

[thegranddilligaf]

If Laibach don't offend and make people think, then there's no point to Laibach.

[MostEnvious]

Lol at the end, "Yep, I'm just here at the end to prove this is my video...and I still have an unholy deep voice."

[shadowsofglory]

@MostEnvious HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Assimandelini]

@MostEnvious

I always think the OMMMM was there just to show Lennon that "monks don't do it like 'om', they do it like 'OMMMMM*, bitch".

[surikatalab]

Anja Rupel?

[sajhtam]

@surikatalab

Yep!

[Neurodisco77]

@surikatalab

Yes, I think she is

[someoneON]

Oni so nasa najvecja skupina.

[brainpinkey]

dose the video creep any one else out

[Neurodisco77]

@brainpinkey

Yes, in a good sense

[David44763]

that was great!

[davesnothere26]

I recommend we carpet bomb the country this came from, and send this euro trash shit straight to hell. 

[spaceferret4ever]

@davesnothere26 first carpet bomb then build Walmart and parking lot

[davesnothere26]

@davesnothere26 I should have put joking after my comment. I'm not being serious.

[strawberryriddick]

@TheDustStars Actually, I enjoy both Lady Gaga and Laibach...though not Shakira. :P

[josueurrutia15]

Facists or not.. I like it! xD

[systray27]

imo this video is a masterpiece. Hardly anyone can up with such a strong subversive message through repetitive over-the-top symbolism within 5 minutes.

[Mattyd242]

@spaceferret4ever Laibach are essentially a parody band. They play on fascist and ultra-nationalist aesthetics to provoke people. But it's meant to show how ridiculous totalitarianism is, NOT support nazism.

[spaceferret4ever]

Is this suppose to be a Hitler Youth tribute ? Clean cut boys wearing brown shirts and suspenders ? Garbage !

[WorshipInTruth]

@spaceferret4ever  You are an idiot.

[spaceferret4ever]

@WorshipInTruth You calling me names is absolutely unwarranted. I 'm not against homosexuals, you guys are entitled to have your favorite bands like any other normal people

[WorshipInTruth]

@spaceferret4ever Laugh, I am not a homosexual nor do I support homosexuality in any way. Like I said, you are an idiot. Both you and this video are deranged.

[spaceferret4ever]

@WorshipInTruth I'm not sure whether it's considered homosexuality, but after you sent me that video where you hump a male donkey I was under impression you prefer four-legged animals of same sex.

[sansewai]

@spaceferret4ever Absolute idiot.

[spaceferret4ever]

@sansewai absolute idiot ? Of course I am, I paid your mother $15 to suck my dick even though I knew she would do it for $10,

[strawberryriddick]

@spaceferret4ever Looks like you could have gotten a better deal :)

[spaceferret4ever]

@strawberryriddick yo amigo, don't be mean to me, you can see clearly what happened to my opponents :-) Oh by the way every time I see Lady Gaga on TV I experience uncontrolled urge to vomit , while Laibach. triggers vomiting and profuse diarrhea . Darwin would retract his evolutionary theory should he has a chance to listen to this kind of 'musak' All those millions of years of evolution to produce such a piece of garbage

[strawberryriddick]

@spaceferret4ever Hey brother, I ain't being mean :) Remember, we have to take side-steps in evolution, too! :D

[spaceferret4ever]

@strawberryriddick Good point ! Without gene replicator errors evolution wouldn't be possible, but this went way too far, I would rather watch Rob Zombie performing with Susan Boyle l

[strawberryriddick]

@spaceferret4ever I would not pay to see that. I would, however, YouTube it. :P

[spaceferret4ever]

@strawberryriddick Rita MacNeil  is turing with Ozzy :-)

[spaceferret4ever]

@sansewai Of course it's embarrassing, I understand you entirely , but it's not your fault that your mother is a prostitute and your father is a junkie as you have mentioned in that private message you sent me. It doesn't surprise me that you like underage boys, I'm not judging you , it's in your genes

[KunarSatan]

@spaceferret4ever You dont understand what Laibach is all about right? You should educate yourself on them their concept is quite complex but you'll get it.

[TheDrunkTankJudge]

@JoshyDude15

Let It Be, It's a Beatles cover album... Like Sympathy For The Devil was the Stones cover...

[drcarsimon]

Laibach from Slovenia and i am from Slovenia! : D

[Anubis22bcn]

Favorite :) Everything it's so beautiful.. Laibach is GREAT. Tanz Mit ;)

[carloko08]

excellent song, and great video, I will like than every children were as this little boys and dressed like that, I prefer that before fat and unruly children, or dress with sport shoes or Giant caps with t-shirts of any nonsense, excellent song

[SuperiorANTIZOG]

14/88

[Anubis22bcn]

Love Laibach. 

[valentin80]

OM... the mistic word...

[ucsteve]

Nice "robot phrasing". 

[masterx6583]

There is only one Laibach

[bri4urinfo]

Its a crap remake and crap video

[ALigthone]

@bri4urinfo Why?

If you make such a judgement you must have a reason

[goginetTV]

I am pretty new to Laibach - are there other songs done with the female singer? I love the style of this one. Very subtle. I love the Life is Life song and others to. Wondering when they made the shift to incorporating female voices too - or just this song?

Peace

[UNTERKUNST]

@goginetTV laibach was concieved as a core manifesto if collective artistry, the fact that the regular members of laibach didnt participate in this song is a symbolic interpretation of their core philosophy. the fact that many different people could partake to creat e a beautiful and meaningful image and sound was laibach dogma. it is just this song, however it doesnt take away from the meaning of laibach being an artist collective focused on integrating many different elements like female vocls

[dddravac307308]

watch?v=Icru3Y1VfZA song in this video

[mutinyinheav3n]

that girl is beautiful

[lardo444]

@mutinyinheav3n yeah and she sure can sing.

peace, lardo444.

[meimei999able]

Mocno zastanawiające..

Przynajmniej dla mnie...

Pozdrawiam...Joll



[fejkplastik]

anja, volim te :D

[arigoldfilms]

Genius.

[dddux]

You should never interpret Laibach songs literally. Great track! Thanks for the upload.

p.s. fuck you all nazi scum.

[sandmanhh67]

they arent wearing Yugoslav or Croatian uniforms you donkeys. Laibach are from SLOVENIA.

They are wearing the uniform of the youth movement of the NSK - the socio-political arts movement Laibach started.

[Mynnia]

@sandmanhh67 It's an allusion.

[Bernaldox]

besser als das original.....

[tlacenkascibuli]

@Bernaldox : it is not very difficult to be better than original if the original is performed by those stinky hippies.

[RSFO]

@tlacenkascibuli

I am a stinky hippie.

[OropherThranduil]

Nothing beats the beatles, but good cover, interesting interpretation.

shows again how versatile beatles melodys are.

[matico441]

rammstein are like twice better. but they still ownage!

[tlacenkascibuli]

@matico441: are you crazy? how can you even compare laibach with that first-look money-making machine consisted of not very talented youth of ernest thallman? they are just awkward copy of something they have never worked out. no

[seagybooboo]

ok everyone knows that nazi's even the public showing of the swastika in germany is illegal so this video isnt nazi-ish or whatever but you have to admit a few of the kids do look like hitler youth
