Jack's Lament - All American Rejects (High Quality + Lyrics)

[Frostdrgn2]

Sorry All American Rejects, but you got nothing on Danny Elfman....

thanks for posting this cover though, it is fun to hear another version of this song

[hamby88]

i'm just gonna come right out and say it: the original is WAY better. this sucks.

[LOLGAMER37]

This video is good but it was better with jack voice

[TheBritishSlimShady]

@LOLGAMER37 With Jack voice? Why, that doesn't make any grammatical sense. Don't you think it'd be better saying Jack's voice?

[danielparejaxxx]

yea i liked it better with jacks voice...

[Rockin60s70s80s]

Okay

[lilomichelle]

i think halloween town is the only town ho can get to the tree's wit the hollyday's...

[kidblade3000]

love it

[kurtandblainegleek]

This is an amazing cover!

[petesgurl101]

Haters go hate on something else!!! I like this version!

[luisathevampire]

original was a million times better but i have to admit this was good

[0sexiest0nerd0]

Jack reminds me of Doctor Who... no, I haven't a clue why...

[adgthlover9]

@0sexiest0nerd0 LOL me too. I don't know why either...

[LiveInMusic93]

Better than the original :D The All-American Rejects are the best!

[PorridgeBrain]

I prefer the cover to the original , despite my favorite cover is " Kidnap the sandy claws" . As I'm french , I will always think the french version is the best ;)

[Nameless555vs666]

@dartter50 go troll somewhere else. If you don't like it, go listen to something you do like and allow those who like it and want to listen to it to do so without you nagging like an old bitch at how much you would rather be listening to your shitty pop music. I for one like this song, and though it's not the best nightmare before Christmas cover, it's still good. And I'm sure many others agree with me.

[Robeban2]

MCR should have covered it

[0sexiest0nerd0]

@Robeban2 I was just thinking that! :O

[drummin4gold]

@Robeban2 AMEN!

[snowandtoast]

i love and have this movie as a dvd

[PsychedelicFunkLover]

[facebooker01]

[monsterenergydrinkzz]

-_- how dos this song sound good like this. sorry up loader but u fail

[MakeHopeHappen]

I wish Fallout boys would have done this cover...The lead singer has a better voice for this song

[Zelda2h2]

@MakeHopeHappen Agreed. Although I do love the Fall Out Boy cover of What's This? And I can definitely see Patrick Stump singing this.

[XxCANTTAMEDABEASTxX]

@DarkGamerWolf all american rejects

[DarkGamerWolf]

[lushiouspig]

his singing is way too monotone for this song. fail

[krazypiggy]

i like this cover! :D nice one AAR!!! ♥

[darkanimeluver1]

am i the only one who likes this cover?

[lightningwolf04]

i love this version and the original equally good job rejects

[SecondPlaceSavannah]

I think that people are thinking of the original sound when they listen to this.

Which makes this conver undesireable.

But. If you think of this song as it own, it's wonderful.

I, personally, love it. (:

[TheBritishSlimShady]

@SecondPlaceSavannah I agree with you, but, you have to remember two things. 1) People are Jackasses. 2) We all have our own opinions.

[GrimxShadow09]

This song....do not want it covered.....

[TheInvadingKittens]

@GrimxShadow09 uhuhuhu, you said covered. uhuhuhuhu

XD just kidding, but keep thoughts like those to yourself

[GrimxShadow09]

@TheInvadingKittens Why's that? I'm entitled to speak my opinion, am I not?

[DrSamanthasaurus]

I really love this cover even though most hate it.

[AchemeDee]

Original is soooo much better, still cool they did it though.

[rillera25]

I prefer the original so much better. It was an okay cover, but it didn't really work out too well.

[jazzisawesome1700]

Who needs lyrics, its too classical!

[skywuzhereyesturday]

I love this. It almost made me cry. Sally not having a voice added to it. <3

[legionlucian]

"haters gonna hate" uh no shit Sherlock! BTW this sucks

[TheCoco353]

@legionlucian it is better than you

[lightningwolf04]

@legionlucian and the resident hater has spoken well done and trying to sound fearful try a little harder next time

[TaleSpinTV1990]

Well they kept the original tempo that's awesome

I more used to hearing Danny Elfman's version

[Zombieplatepus]

lol wow this sounds lame if i ever wanted to make fun of jack singing ima show ppl this video!!!

[BluefireDreamflight5]

@Zombieplatepus Wow... that's kinda mean, don'tcha think?

[dartter50]

@BluefireDreamflight5 no. this song sucks anus

[BluefireDreamflight5]

@dartter50 go say that somewhere else.

[ToastyxGhost]

Who agrees that muse should do a cover of this!

[irishdancerocker]

love it!

[xxprincessxxpopcornx]

I honestly don't know why people don't like this cover! I think it's really good :)...

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

Haters gonna hate. This is a wonderful cover.

[phuckYOUreggin]

this is terrible both band and cover such a disrespect to one of the greatest movies ever made

[dartter50]

this is fucking horrible. kill this awful band

[mellofellophone318]

@dartter50 haters gunna hate but if you only listen to this well... ur a close minded twit kthnxbye:)

[dartter50]

@mellofellophone318 all their songs are trash. fuck emos

[Lavender1147]

@dartter50 Just because they are not your liking in music doesnt make them trash... we need to be less hateful people...

[dartter50]

@Lavender1147 No. They are trash. they should all die in a fire 

[Lavender1147]

@dartter50 I dont really think its the band, i think its just because we are all so used to the original version and expect all covers of it to be as awesome and hold its own against the original but thats asking a lot when you already have such a good thing. Personally i think AAR did pretty well, i give 4 stars out of 5. But, in reality, we need to cut more slack. NOTHING is ever as good as the original if the original is already on a pedestal

[DrEdRichtofen115]

Jack knows about Kentucky, England, and France... But not about Christmas.. Lolwut

[mohammed69ish]

@DrEdRichtofen115 That's funny.

[rubyrocks808]

@DrEdRichtofen115 He also knows about Shakespeare (I don't think I spelled that right..).

[DrEdRichtofen115]

@rubyrocks808 Indeed... He must not get out much.... And I think you spelt it right.

[PyroGothNerd]

@DrEdRichtofen115 Well he only comes out on HALLOWEEN!!! I wonder if he ever wondered what humans do until Halloween came around.

[Mitsue51]

*-* !! I love.. <3

[TheCjg2000]

if you don't like this then why are you watching it?

[dartter50]

fucking disgrace. the all american rejects should die for making this atrocious pile of garbage

[bbnraeraefrevr]

@Mrdaimion

Umm... Did he/she ever say that it was directed by senior Burton?

[VEHEMENTBLACK]

Fuckin singers Tone death

[VEHEMENTBLACK]

Sounds like... "LIKE SHIT!

[imcrazyninoit]

all american rejects are amazing, cant wait for their album to come out, thank god my birthday is tht month..ik wat im gettin

[greywolf1818]

I like the original better but this was pretty good

[DannyPhilipsen]

The dvd of this movie has been on my shelf for 2 years - I haven't seen it yet! I think it's time!

[Soreph920]

No one can scream like they can. An amateur to the art of screaming can scream better than them.

[ZSApocalypse]

it took them 18 yrs for it to be perfect! to bad ppl werent open minded back in the day!

[MilkMaidRum]

this song is horrible sung by this person D:

[GeekHippieEndarkened]

@MilkMaidRum There might be something wrong with your ears.

[followerDISNEY]

Tim Burton movies are amazing. just vfbsykgvakka

[nuygibbs11]

400,000 views? where is everyone else's views?

[Vendosser]

hate to sayit but, the original was better.

[hello71796]

HOLY FUCK BALLS! They did an amazing job! <3 :D

[WoWDeathKnight27]

OMFG! l love this song! The All American Rejects did such a good job on this song!

[Canseedeadpeople1]

lol at 1:41 jack looks like hes trying to be a ninja and Henry may have may have made the movie but Tim made it come to life with his art work :P

[Coops4tw]

Still going!

[Coops4tw]

Since I posed my last comment, I have watched this about 7 more times and still going!

[Coops4tw]

Brilliant

[r92cab]

his voice makes jack sound like a pre pubescent teen :p

[KuRsAbLe]

nah dont like this cover

but i love this band

and this song

but not together

[KatnissEverdeen100]

@KuRsAbLe It's not bad, it's just not the original 

[NoSuchUsernameFound]

i actually think All American rejects fucked up this song. his voice is too flat and doesn't embody the emotion of jack's voice. let down.

[Tosslingen]

@NoSuchUsernameFound

Im with ya. Only Danny Elfman seems to be able to contain Jack. 

[hermstefanny]

This is the best from The All American Rejects

It's true

:P

[ForTheLoveOfScones]

"Known throughout England and France"

FrUk

Hetalia

Nightmare Before Christmas

I'm happy

[LightningFoxDusk]

@ForTheLoveOfScones I never thought of that...

Don't know how it never occured to me.

[ForTheLoveOfScones]

@LightningFoxDusk Haha I just noticed to xD

[21156782ihateu]

awesoem! my 3 favorite bands singing songs from my favorite movie....Panic! At The Disco-This is Halloween, Fall Out Boy-What's This, & All American Rejects-Jack's Lament. these happen 2 b my favorite songs to also kidnap the sandy claws

[SoulidiumHollow]

Not bad, but the voice needs to sound more sorrowfull and softer. xP

[reachingeric]

the vigor of the original cant be beat!!!!!! this band dont work it well

[MrXxsitonmyfacexx]

@invadrlexi yes. Its Nightmare Revisited.

[Invadrlexi]

Did they have like an album with covers of all the songs (by different bands?) i know there's a fall out boy cover too so i am wondering

[chatoizcute]

Nice :)

[xxkangaroosterxx]

this sounds v=bteer when you see the video

[DecadentSanta]

this is great...

but what if Korn did this song and fall out boy did the sandy claws song?

[TheLadyMissify]

@Aleu I love you.

[ireallyskate]

I know every word to this movie :)

It came out the year I was born (1993)

Tim Burton is a genius!

[colebat]

@ireallyskate He didn't make the movie. Henry Selick did. Though Tim did make the original poem.

[Mrdaimion]

@ireallyskate ... funny thing is, even though you "know every word to this movie," you don't know that the movie wasn't directed by Tim Burton, it's just based off of a poem he wrote. xD The REAL director is Henry Selick. =P

[JacobBlackLuver1]

@Mrdaimion It was produced and written by Tim Burton, hence why it's called "Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas." He was unable to direct it because he was in the middle of directing "Batman Returns." Henry Selick, the director, had worked before under Tim Burton. Technically, the movie is all Tim Burton, he just wasn't the one to yell "cut" and "action."

[Kairi3121]

@JacobBlackLuver1 Technically this type of movie is by snapshots every time you move the clay characters so there's no need to yell "cut" or "action". If they messed up one part, they'd hafta start all over again

[JacobBlackLuver1]

@Kairi3121 I'm aware, just trying to prove a point here, thanks :)

[MermaidTailsTKB]

@ireallyskate lawl it came out 6 years before i was born >.<

[vFourTails]

AUDIENCE? What are you doing watching this video instead of the new TobyGames videos?

[emo487576]

@vFourTails Toby what?

[Aleu]

I love this, I can picture MCR singing this for sure

[AkeelaPyro]

@Aleu Now that you mention it - hell yes. That would be epicness. XD

[ireallyskate]

@Aleu I agree!

[kakashifangirlofdoom]

Pause at 1:27. ;)

[Fluteplayingbandgeek]

people who have not seen this movie.....omg it's like never learning how to breathe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JoKicksButtAndIsEpic]

@Rixusaku

Maybe to you it is, but it depends on the person;. You wouldn't know unless you were gay.

[Rixusaku]

@JoKicksButtAndIsEpic

so what you're saying is i have no choice at all on whether or not i'm gay, and if i choose (or as therainbowfairy puts "forced without a choice") to be gay it's scientifically impossible for me to change my views and become bi or straight again?

[Rixusaku]

wait a minute, why is the youtube comments on this video turning into a who loves who fight? XD

back to subject, i like both the movie version and this one :3

sounds like they were having fun making this song

[BunnyBoo848]

@therainbowfairy12

I couldnt agree more! I used to consider myself "bi" untill I found a better term that fits me.... Pansexual. I don't see gender. I see personality and what kinda of heart someone has... If you r with someone && they treat u good, and ur happy together... What does gender matter?? If u love eachother... Then b together. Fuck all the haters

[Starfishy789]

these movies r soooo creepy!!!!!!

[DancingDreamxx]

I can't help but think it sounds like a teenage Jack >.<

[alecinsel]

OMG THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO DONT KNOW THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS!!!!!!!*Shocked*

[JoKicksButtAndIsEpic]

@Rajers72

There are a few things wrong with that sentence bitch.

1) Gay is the way people are born, not a way to describe things you dislike.

2) If you hate All America Rejects and consider them 'Gay', and you obviously dislike homosexuals (which will CERTAINLY be a problem for you later on.) , then why in HELL would you look this up?

Use your brain fucker.

[kidwithacast]

@JoKicksButtAndIsEpic becuase maybe people have their own opinions and they maybe do not like all amarican rejects...maybe he likes the nightmare before christmas just not said band

[Rixusaku]

@JoKicksButtAndIsEpic

people aren't BORN gay... it's a choice they make whether young or old or maybe what they're surrounded by or exposed to, to make that decision for themselves. there's nothing in your DNA saying you like the same sex. it's a mental choice and has nothing to do with a physical choice.

[therainbowfairy12]

@Rixusaku its not a choice. It is chemicals in your brain and hormones you dumb fuck. If it was a choice then why would so many gay kids kill themselves when they are bullied? according to you they could just CHOSE to be straight. but wait! they CANT chose. do you chose to be straight? I'm bi and i certainly didn't chose to be this way, but that's who I am.

[Rixusaku]

@therainbowfairy12

first of all you don't have to be all rude to me. was i rude to you? did i cuss at you and call you names? no. do i hate gays or bi-sexuals? no.

people kill themselves when they are bullied because they don't understand why the bully wouldn't see the world as they see it. there are many of them who either go straight or pretend to be straight in order not to be bullied, but they chose to be gay or

[Rixusaku]

@therainbowfairy12

bi. is it chemicals in the brain? sure, i can agree with that, but it's not your DNA makeup. you weren't BORN to be gay all your life without a choice. did i choose to be straight? yes. i did. there was a time where i found girls to be attractive and i was curious what it would be like, but i chose to stay straight because that's what made me happy. others chose to be gay or bi because that's what makes them happy, and i say all power to

[Rixusaku]

@therainbowfairy12

them. but you are not born gay. you are not born straight. you are not born bi. you are born as nothing, and then you make the choice yourself as you grow older.

[therainbowfairy12]

@Rixusaku believe what you want to believe, but it's not a choice. If it was a choice and you made it based on what you were exposed to, then why do some kids ,who are raised in strict religious homes that damn gay people, grow up to be gay? but it doesn't matter. This video has nothing to do with gay people, and I don't even know why I'm arguing about this here.

[Rixusaku]

@therainbowfairy12

neither do i. i really do hope you start opening your eyes and become happy in the future. sounds like you hate who you are and it's really sad. best wishes

[therainbowfairy12]

@Rixusaku i dont hate who i am... i just really hate it when people say that i made a choice to be the way I am.

[Stormsoul22]

@JoKicksButtAndIsEpic your comment is full of so much win.

[jordygirl9]

The other day my friend confessed that she had never seen Nightmare Before Christmas. Straight away we watched the movie, and when it was over I asked what she thought. So she says, "It was okay" Sometimes I wonder about that girl.

[TheWhenWhereWhyHow]

@jordygirl9 What's her problem!?! That movie is amazing!!

[showstopgamer]

@jordygirl9 she skewed up your frend that is

[ThisismadnessGIRL]

@jordygirl9 I think you may need to get her head checked :( Sorry...

[guitarbaseballguy16]

@jordygirl9 my parents said they watched it and left half way through it was so bad

[Rajers72]

I was surprised. Normally all american rejects are pretty gay.

[AARTaylorSwift]

@Rajers72 :O bite your tongue!

[rockera6669]

he sounds bord... the original is waaaay better

[werty7099]

original is better,

[rosestar3474]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[fluffygurl5gz]

LOVE IT!!

[stitch99]

I'm curious. If the All-American Rejects have haters, is that reinforcing their name?

[Musicaljunki]

ok, look, its not better, no one is saying it is. They are saying its different, If you wanted to hear the original GO LOOK THAT ONE UP. This is just a different version. K?

[KarlaxOrteguh]

all versions of the songs form " the nightmare before christmas" are amazing panic!'s all american rejects" fall out boy" and marylin manson is awesome

[halakon666]

@KarlaxOrteguh You would only name the emo bands and the Fallen one

[Rockerice14]

i only have on part (tiny bit) of beef with this version.....im just a tad bit fond of the original singer said " wide" and at part he sounds like a whiny kid....thats all it great in the end

[chwpwej]

@Rockerice14 agreed. i think the original voice fits better ^^

[Xweetke]

This cover is awesome <3 I can't believe haven't heard this one yet! Shame on me! Although there is something that nags me about his voice, at some points he sounds awesome. But some parts of the song makes his voice sound whiney... but it's just me I guess because I know he is an great singer. So don't attack me with hate comments please thank you bye.

[TheVader2]

Wait, is Jack the Slender Man?

[crimsonlilyfairy]

@TheVader2 go see the movie. and yes, jack's the walking stick.

[TheVader2]

@crimsonlilyfairy I know who Skelington is, you twit, I was making a joke. Why don't you look up slender man and may your nightmares commence.

[ThatHufflepuffGirl]

@TheVader2 SLENDER MAN. Oh gosh, I think that comment just ruined my image of Jack for all eternity xD Hahaha.

[lauriesworldrox]

@TheVader2 i always thought the same thing xD

[TheCraigeth]

Absolutely love this film, and AAR - but this cover is pretty pants.

[1sinbad1]

I like this version better then the original....i'm serious!

[leslieangie1]
