  • i can't listen to this without dancing in my seat

  • @ mviseur10: gtfo if u dont like it dont look it up. Seems enough to me, or are you too stupid not to troll?

  • LOVEIT

  • have to say it: awesome cover, respectful yet original.

  • Is That Thing Dancing?

  • This version is ok... a little bubble gummy though. The T-rex original is raunchier.

  • @aaalayna

    Can you not use that term? You sound like a fucking idiot.

    good take on the original

  • Listen to the self titled T. Rex record, it's very much like this.

  • sweet cover :D

  • i always liked t-rex. this is an interesting cover. i like it.

  • This song makes me love The Shins even more.

  • what the heck does this song mean? i love it... love to play the bass to it... but i don't get it! somebody please.... explain! i always laugh at the line "your uncle with a alligator chained to his leg" never really understood it though~ PLEASE HELP ME!

  • Bolan was 100 times better live and I guess a live version of this would have been better.. This version sounds ok but I hope someone can come up with a more rocking version.

  • Definitely owns T-Rex's version.

    Classic rock sucks.

  • @aciddmc thank you for letting the world know from a safe distance that you are indeed a douchebag

  • @hrrsn1 Great call, what a rube.

  • fuckin sick song

  • This is now me and and my GF's song. :D

  • stroll on

    love it

    keep a little bit of marc in your heart

  • I don't like it as much as T.Rex's version,but I like it. :)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Shins take on T-Rex. Brilliant combo:)

  • This is great. What a funky song!

  • nice version, pretty faithful to Bolan's original!

  • it sounds a little bit beatles-esque, but it's a t-rex cover.

  • The Shins are one of my favorite bands, along with Rogue Wave and The Beetles. Yet this is one of the songs I don't own. And I always thought, doesn't this song sound like a Beetles song?

  • little too risque for the beatles, sounds a little more like the writing style of the stones actually

  • yeah cause they ripped off marc bolan all the time

  • @conwict7 too risque? the beatles were risque as fuck. well, not as fuck. but risque nonetheless.

  • @booklover1217 I LOVE ROGUE WAVE. california is such a good song. i put it in a video on my channel where i straighten my hair. pretty sure my intended audience of tweens won't like it. xD btws, it's beatles. they're not named after a bug. xD

  • @lilbluehersheykiss i know. haha :) after i posted my comment i realized my mistake. xD

  • great video...I could watch it all day!...LOL

    even better cover !!...thanks for posting!
