The Donnas -- Safety Dance

[Tdelivers]

I've just been checking out the covers of this song. (one of my all time favorites) This one beats the crap out of some band called Status Quo.

[MichaelHansenFUN]

they were probably not born when this was on american bandstand...

[crazylota]

I LUV FUCKING DONNAS!

[EscargotPudding444]

Thanks Shaun White Skateboarding.

[darrell2211]

O.M.G. Best cover of this ( one of my favorite songs of all time) song. Thank you (Donna's)

[DarthLoki182]

ick

[TwistedSister09]

Original is still the best..lol

[omnigrrrl]

Bad ass version

[TheArtfulDodger1984]

I love the original but Im really liking this cover.

[carnivorouskettle]

This version does not work for me. The appeal of the original is that it is a quirky song with an unusual almost surreal video. It's not a fast guitar rock song, and the impact of the subtly dark lyrics are lost at the higher pitch & faster speed.

[lolmenot]

@carnivorouskettle Totally agree, this is a discrase. Fking horrible!

[fritzthecat4455]

@lolmenot eat a dick and learn how to spell

[fritzthecat4455]

@lolmenot eat ass...suck cock...its a fucking pop song from the 80's. And this version kicks ass...you just like cock to much

[lolmenot]

@fritzthecat4455 You really do like talking about cock don´t you? Ah well, I just don´t like this version, but you do. But thx for telling me.

[slippy318]

@carnivorouskettle i love The Donnas but i completely agree with you

[Michaelloves80smusic]

ORIGINAL= mY FAVORITE SONG, THIS= SUCKYYYYYYYYY

[1942eggneck]

what album is this cover on? it rulz

[troglodyto]

@1942eggneck it's a bonus track on "bitchin". i wish i could find tabs on the internet :<

[azxazx1]

I can honestly say that 3/4 of this band is hot.

[mistahwikked1]

this is dope...i'd like to see this live

[MrDavidam]

old song,but you,ve done it good

[Veltrida]

Sounds like a nickelodeon Punk band.

[tortoiseman526]

hmmmm. reckon its a fail

[fritzthecat4455]

@tortoiseman526 hmmmm reckon you wouldn't know good music if it sucked your tiny cock

[PlatinumLinkEdits]

great version....adds a ton of energy to the original.....with everything being done over and over, it's kinda cool to see a song in a different light!

[davehutchinson67]

I still remember Men without Hats...I thought it was positively the strangest friggin video I ever saw...not to mention the song...second only to Buggles "video killed the radio star".

[littledebbie187]

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY, DONNA R., AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE!!!

[alexia52009]

my favorite band rock girls

[Anoroc1221]

brutal

[soundslave]

*sniggers* girls trying to be rockers.

[CymrilBlade]

Not too bad really. Better than a lot of the other covers of this song.

[dandylion18]

Awesome cover!

[vicho081973]

I love drumm girl.

[seafireliv]

Nah. Doesn`t have the gravity it needs. Sounds like mice on speed.

[auctionguyinmo]

Ugh. They need to stick to VHI specials. Really.

[haschi18]

FINEST GIRLS ROCK!



[prs1093]

@haschi18 Sorry but t has to be girlschool

[botones09]

very fast

[techyourself]

Uninspired me reckons...

[danielscissorhands]

Surprisingly good, considering the Donnas have sucked since their second (and awesome) album (the self titled one).

[orlin258]

I think there's a reason to be men without hats

[tekubus]

This is one of the greatest pop rock songs ever written, however the Donnas missed so many creative oportunities while recording this song in the most mediocre way possible. Still, it is impossible to give it a thumbs down.

[littledebbie187]

HAPPY 32ND BIRTHDAY, BRETT ANDERSON!

[999manman]

I thought this was a joke when I saw the title but I'm glad I watched! Awesome-a power!

[Re4lCheesus]

Turks version is still the best one.

[1kittin]

How come t.A.T.u. never covered this version of Safety Dance? They did such a swell job with How Much Is Now....

[vampyre4208]

@1kittin How soon is now.

[hermarket]

my favorite song by them

[MichaelHansenFUN]

awesome funny

[tibumagpie]

great fucking awesome cover!!! 255 glee fans FUCK YOU!!!...cambio...

[journeyquest1]

Donnas sink to an all time low. I always hated this gay video they used to play on Moron TV.

[talon115]

Love it!

[Funeral4aFriendRule]

This is better than the bloody original! :P (My opinion though) :)

[wildboy789789]

@Funeral4aFriendRule i think they are lazy whores (just my opinion)

[Funeral4aFriendRule]

i cant believe this has 254 dislikes this is an amazing cover! The Donnas are amazing!!!! <3

[MyAccount4TrollingU]

fuck islam

[TheNachthoernchen]

thats why singers shouldnt drink red bull...

[jimmy5150ify]

If ya dont like it ur probably not "fun" . Move ur stick in the mud ass along. these chicks are cool. Great choices of covers, keep it up girls.

[Emar3277]

This is fuckin awful

[WhompingWillowTree]

stop bitching this cover. it's awesome.

[amiorkovtube]

thumbs up if you heard this cover at Shaun White Skateboarding !!!

[StatusQuonald]

Bad stuff.. stupid punk bitchas..

[SuperJokuTyyppi]

No, you can't dance :(

[Fletinio1]

They screwed the song -.-

[nord384]

The Donuts...

[eyedam]

I give this cover a high "Meh..."

[querim77]

sounds like Girls Aloud whores connected to high voltage. Crap.

[Angusismyhero]

I think it's OK musically but ... arrrgh the vocals are horrendous! Sorry.

[OpticxLigerx69]

Way to ruin a great song

[36hcupsizeandgrowing]

this is a good cover, its all good ladies, keep on keepn on

[thekeyofcomedy]

This sucks bad

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Good Cover..

[SgtGAF]

this sucks !!!

[The096757]

i love the skelton picture. this is good. most renditions of retro songs are sagged down with a goofy, slow bass and hip hop sound but thankfully this isn't.

[The096757]

sounds great. i've read about the donnas but never heard them until now. what year was this rendition made?

[DungeonStudio]

Hilariously awful! Twisted Sister, The Early Years. I'll take The Runaways or Girl School any day. These gals can't even ho for over $5 in Baton Rouge. I hope their tour bus crashes in their managers house while the label exec's are over wondering why projections weren't met - and explodes over a natural gas pipeline. Then they could all say they've done something with their lives.

[ajayisonfire]

@DungeonStudio LOL tell us how your really think

[haj1909]

@DungeonStudio Yeah, don't hold anything back!

[camfroghoofy]

50 creepy lowlifes couldn't dance if they wanted to.

[JohnLeaf64]

@camfroghoofy No, 242 people didn't like this remix. What are you, stupid?

[camfroghoofy]

@JohnLeaf64 theres a difference between liking and dancing ... are you inept ? that makes you a creepy lowlife.

[JohnLeaf64]

@camfroghoofy Well, I dance if I want to, and I didn't like this remix, so that blows your theory away. BLOWS. IT. AWAY.

[camfroghoofy]

@JohnLeaf64 What theory ? I've just explained to you that there is a difference between liking and dancing. Are you fucked up in the head or do you want me to draw it in crayon for you to understand it a little easier ? Go away and bother someone who actually cares about you.

[JohnLeaf64]

@camfroghoofy And do you not understand that I'm insulting you for being one of those idiots who make people who click the dislike button, into antagonists? I'm sure you think it makes you VERY original.

[rockstarsports]

They totally rewend the song they rushed the tempo

[MeGsMuSiCcOrP]

OMFG.. So Men Without Hats FTW! This is a cheap remix :]

[ZombApocalypse1]

God I love this band! This has to be my fav. Song plus there all hot :D

[littledebbie187]

Happy 32nd Birthdays, Maya Ford and Torrey Castellano.

[TheTrace8]

This is an awesome cover - killer energy. My band covers this, but we don't match this energy at all.

[MeTsRoCkMySoCk13]

@TheTrace8 dont beat yourself up. im sure you guys are kickass!

[barrydeez]

Im gunna fuckin dance!

[sammademedoit]

inspirational women and a very clever cover. thanks for this video :D

[jayrox40]

These girls are hot and they ROCK!!!!!!

[MechaBuu]

You can hear this on Shaun White Skateboarding.

[MTMewMew]

This song proves that you can like more than 1 version of an awesome song :)

[jennygotguns67]

terrible. ewwww

original is the best song ever. they murdered it.

[midianholic]

This is brilliant. Why have I not heard this before !!!! I feel cheated.

[chimpfiend]

Turd

[magpielou]

I like the Donna's, I like Safety Dance, but, just no

[tekubus]

wow. This has inspired me to social violence. Thank you.

[flowerdrop1]

nice cover. who are these broads?

[enghelsa]

This Sucks!!!

[Critiqu3]

Man, I like the Donnas, and I absolutely ADORE Safety Dance... but this is awful...

The original is layed back and cool, exactly how the music video is. It just works...

This sounds like their forcing air out of their noses. It's painful to listen to. They should not have done this as a cover. The styles just don't MIX! (This is coming from someone who has listened the the original at least 150 times before)

[meco758]

annoying...

[youtmeme]

ha! never heard this before! :D

[1800pelican]

way to destroy a good song

[alangarveypoet]

WTF is this??? Corporate chicks playing cock-rock style covers? Who TF would buy this shit???

[BlitzKreigFilms]

Lame.

[darkdde]

Better than the original.

[KateMackie114]

when i grow up, i wanna be a donna. 

[williamjamesbrown]

Whats with the pixellated black and white what looks like skulls pics ?

[captainbobbyjoe]

i approve. many times over. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. i approve. that's all the characters it lets us have.

[hshmanowin]

Is it a midi file with wavevocals? :) Thats terrible. But thank god, it's a matter of taste :) Led Zeppelin4e

[livinglegend1187]

Show your tits. That's all I care about, ladies.

If I wanted to hear the Safety Dance, I'd just listen to the original.

[MerchManDan]

@livinglegend1187 Rude.

[stuffiscoolandstuff]

@MerchManDan welcome to the internet. youwont last long.

[MerchManDan]

@stuffiscoolandstuff Yeah thanks, that's great.

[williamjamesbrown]

@livinglegend1187 Tool. Show some respect.

[umpfco]

Love it!

[fergeeeven]

when you can't write your own music...you end up screwing up classic songs...

[williamjamesbrown]

@fergeeeven lol. Im like 40 seconds in ... take the stick outta ya arse, its possible to record a better version than the original. Only heard it 2 months ago anyway, so it cant have been that good ........

[emaclynch]

@fergeeeven  if this song is a classic.music is finished........at best it is a one hit wonder...........

[SargeLS]

This is a stellar example of why women should cook and not ruin god songs.

[Blackaljackal]

@SargeLS I take it you haven't listen to any of their other music, because this is definitely not their best.

[williamjamesbrown]

@Blackaljackal ... that maybe so, but its awesome all the same. The sexist below can get fucked. I like girls with instruments. And Safety Dance, classic ?

[MerchManDan]

@SargeLS Rude. Also, I had no idea "Safety Dance" was a hymn.

[XIxWraithxIX]

I swear The Donnas is a cover band.

[peroxidekitty]

LOVE IT. Loved the original version, but this is fab. Poroper girly rock out session for me tonight!!

[TheGrungeSinger]

God the singer sucks.

[spankeriffic]

ruined

[frizzlefrap]

"we can suck, we can suck ... we can suck you off" ..... now there's some nice lyrics for them to record!

[rwk1983]

@frizzlefrap these no hit wonders can suck Deeezzzzzzzzzzzzz Nutsssssssssssssss

[deathofdozen]

I wonder if people complaining about butchering are the same that complain if bands don't play their songs live exactly the same as they play them on their albums...

[weathered79]

i safety dance to this in my underwear the donnas will always rock my world

[wanderer711]

SWEET! The Donna's Rock!

[auctionguyinmo]

Wow. Suckville. Population: The Donnas

[VilleSkateKrewRep]

@auctionguyinmo Shittycallsville. Population: You. You can hate music if you want, but at least make your hatred funny, and less shit.

[shauntech1]

damn,......way to butcher a classic.......thanks donnas

[jvillan85]

It's a fucking cheesy song from the 80's people! Get over it! And as far as the Donnas "butchering" it, I'd like to see another rock group do it better. Its their interpretation of the song. They're not going to bust out a synth and a drum machine!!!

[travelsonic]

"And as far as the Donnas "butchering" it, I'd like to see another rock group do it better...."

Irrelevant.

Many other bands could do better, others could do worse, but when it comes to comparison to the original, what matters to fans is the Donnas vs Men Without Hats, not how any other band does it.

[Microwavish]

anyone who doesnt like this is retarded, this shit owns

fuck men without hats

[mafiouso]

@Microwavish duckhead

[TheGrocer2020]

@Microwavish shut the fuck up

[kiwikeylimes]

@Microwavish dont be such a douchebag men without hats is original im not saying i dont like the donnas but it doesnt mean you have to act like a big douche about it

[142suckerpunk]

@Microwavish fuck you this version is dick and your sucking it

HAT LOVER men without hats forever

[Ali360]

The original is perfect in every way. It couldn't be bettered, and it's nice to see a group proving this theory correct.

[MrMirthful]

what is this housewife metal? lmao I SHAVE MY OWN BALLS THANK YOU!!!

[LTF6161]

Why do fans of one band and song get so upset if somebody else takes a stab at it? Strikes me as a lot of personal ego and insecurity involved. I am sure Men w/o Hats didn't give a damn (unless they wrote the song at which point if the Donnas made money on this, they made more. The money in music is in song writing, not recording)

[HundredFrogsOne]

@LTF6161

Sensibly said!  Plus, these days, all covers lead back to the original with just one click or two on YouTube. Easy enough for people to judge for themselves, and there is nothing here to get upset about.

[bobafettucini]

@LTF6161 Because people get attached to songs and cherish them! So when someone takes that song and brutalizes it, it hurts!! It's like having someone take your childhood teddy bear and throwing it into a pit of hot tar! And yes, of course Men without hats wrote this song.. they wrote 98% of their own material.. unlike some "bands".

[LTF6161]

@bobafettucini

Well my daughter loves teddy bears so I can sympathize with that. On the other hand, just don't listen and realize that someone might very well like what you think is brutalizing:>)

[DrMotorDude]

GOOD GOD! This is so damn awful I hope they all die of massive syphilis infections. Anyone who thinks this is good was BORN in the 80s.

[Raidenko91]

I thought it was a good cover. You have to remember, it's not Men Without Hats, it's The Donnas.

[bodiegod]

I like it.

[trumbellst]

You win some , you lose some. Not every band makes a perfect song every time. its an on going process. The true test is how they learn from it and grow.

[hemulen242]

Pure crap. They murdered a great song.

[lamareikan666]

I actually like this, even if the original is better

[schirmah]

gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[serpienteyhada]

The old style rock? O.O

[RightonWalrus]

Hey Donnas go suck a fat one and stop trying to touch a legendary song

[megagegga]

nope, doesn´t work at all

[nocachouan]

realmente malo



[ShuffleHR101]

the 186 dislikes were obviously people who liked cheese

[thewoodenman]

its rubbish, generic rock. the original is better. I've heard more accomplished garage bands.

[CaptDingDong]

I love the classic, melodious 'medieval' version, and I love this hyperdrive, punk 'metal' version. In concert it would simply rock to hear the full classic version live, directly followed by this rock arrangement. Why can't we all just get along?

[ContagiousMelody]

i love them so much xD 

[grangerblog]

Christ, rock music is really boring.

[purplestuff]

They gave one of the wussiest songs ever some balls.

Seriously!! I'm fucking shocked that there are "Men Without Hats" purists...go die in a new coke, neon, aerobics fire! Pussies!!

[alexanderconnolly]

Good GOD it's awful...please please please please DON'T play this cover...EVER..

[hibernatus]

Not bad at all… Different from the original (it's the interest of a cover), I was a fan of the Midget ;) … but I'm a fan of the Donna's, too!

[chankua1]

Horroroso... arruinan la version original!!

pinches viejas si no saben! no canten!! bitchs!!

[Holywood478]

fail

[JMaggot69]

Quit lying to yourselves people this is as good as the original.

[thomas9531]

hey i'm 57 and a donnaholic-- i'm the old man in front throwing my boxers up with my phone number....these girls are hot rockers

[amaries24]

@thomas9531 you're gross

[vertoule]

@thomas9531 because that's not creepy at all...

[CarnelSinner99]

@Thatsahotcafeboy But to say they have no talent, thats just plain ignorance of the word. Lets see where lady gaga is in ten years. Remember pop is the flavor of the day and flavors change. If she lasts 10 years, then we can talk about her talent. Back street boys, Insync, Britney, etc. 10 years later...gone, but they sold millions of albums to people who swore they were talented.
