Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Rocket Man

[abadalaaol]

Hi

[RotaxKarting12]

WHOA! Listen to the intro of this song, then listen to the intro of Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy..

[NOAHPHECKS]

@RotaxKarting12 me first always starts a "cover" with the begginin' of a different usually punk band song.

[parryt76]

Hi all, is this the rocket man cover which is on the old surf video "SPLAT" anyone know? I think it is, its great :)

[interinfinity]

fat mike for president

[mobjack]

Why does the singer finish so many of their songs with "Yeah!.....Yeah!.....Yeah!" Is this a tribute to the Misfits or something? Thanks to anyone who knows the answer.

[fee6969]

EPIC band

[propdood07]

There a cover band, a super group formed from members of all punk rock bands

[morresi2011]

I love their covers!! I didn't know this band existed since last year I borrowed a CD to afriend of mine

[heitchler]

Love these guys. Love there cover's. Love the comment about making Sh*tty song's sound good. (lol for real!) To the comment about Sir Elton being Knighted, who the F*ck cares. I'm an American and Elton Is a Queen. I bet if you asked him he'd think these guys have put a great spin on it

[Nickl245]

@heitchler "I'm an American and Elton Is a Queen."

fucking lol!

[hexrei]

@heitchler im sure a lot of these artists they are covering get to nix a band licensing their song for cover if they don't want it to happen for wahtever reason, so yeah i bet elton would high five these guys. the gimme's cover a lot of legendary musicians

[ThePagan75]

great playlist great band they rock ive got the discology but no the vids yet

[brewmodeus1]

YES!

[pellmj1]

i bet elton loves this.

[TusPapi]

I saw them in Kauai around New Year's 99 or 2000 at a tiny airport, Amelia's. They blew the roof off the place and it was only their third or so show they played.

[CoolSciTeacher]

awesome!!!! they should do a real video

[MrJonooffler]

BEST cover ever beats the hell out of Elton Johns one

[MrJonooffler]

BEST cover ever

[MrPistulo]

This cover is good but Puscifers cover is the best...

[TheGreyshaun]

fat mike is a fucking beast

[elainioni]

this is the worst cover ever

[MrFortyoz]

s my d polox

[pipoko]

I prefer the original version but this version is very, very great!

[met4lhead]

this reminds me of good times!

[suju89]

not bad... for some reason i prefer the Shatner cover though

[Yaboy125]

They can cover a miley cyrus song and make it good probably. Let's not test that though! Holy shit are MFatGG the SHIT! Songs I would otherwise hate are great. It even makes me appreciate the other, inferior versions. For without them, we wouldn't have these :)

[fee6969]

love this band so much, amazing live too, they dont give a fuck, keep on rocking rocket ,man

[TheJorsh101]

"Y'know , It's hard bein a Gimme!"

[MrBrinosaur]

This is bad.

[chrissmts]

@MrBrinosaur I had a long, well written reply to your comment , but i thought i could respond more simply. here goes.. your favorite band is paramore , now that band is bad. you don't know shit.

[coheed0211]

@MrBrinosaur

ROFL you like Paramore just shut up.

[ashaman38]

The way best cover bands of all time...  No one is better.

[Hornball50]

It's not too often that I don't hate coves of songs that I like. But these guys make them sound new again. i like.

[MrMakinademierda]

que temazo man

[xKAOSxTWEAK]

@ballaboy5000: tard.

[MrBassboy16]

F*CKING LOVE THIS SONG!!! Best Cover band ive ever heard!

[sillychubbyboy]

haha, Rocket man just sounds funny.

[666rocko]

@sillychubbyboy ...explain?

[TremorHellborn]

I love this song!

[0SumProductions]

so are your mom's tits but we just don't say some shit in public...

[0SumProductions]

Why? Is it because it doesn't come with the cock in the ass and script for AZT that the original does?

[ant1ph0n]

...also, isn't it obvious enough that the reason they cover these songs is because they do enjoy the originals themselves.

[Scike]

Man, I remember seeing these guys live a few years ago, and this was the last song they played----the whole place went fucking nuts, it was awesome.

[gherkien98]

Epic... no other words except epic

[NinjofGinj]

Magic.Just fuckin magic.Brings back the memories of Uni, playing shitty pubs with great audiences.Part of the reason I ever picked up a guitar.

[MattMulder]

late scholarship...all those memories crashing back...wow. and i think it's gonna be a long long time !

[eltrut96]

Best cover band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jmodico]

thiese guys RULE

[adsfafdsf]

sad thing is i like all there songs better than the origanal. lol

[ant1ph0n]

it's your own insecurity (about how you might be viewed or looked upon) holding those originals being "good" or "enjoyable" in your own perception... just my 2 cents though...

[valewiki]

yep, me too :)

[ballaboy5000]

I love MFGG, they make shitty songs sound good!

(No disrespect to Elton John)

[hexrei]

@ballaboy5000 hey, their slogan is "we rock the music that sucks" so i think they'd agree

[sarousel]

@ballaboy5000 hey now....rocket man is nowhere near shitty! hahah...but yes, they do make them interesting in a different way.

[spideymayne]

@ballaboy5000 wtf? Rocket Man is a fucking classic

[Laminateddeffect]

@ballaboy5000 18 to 1 but i dont think the elton john version is shitty. though i must say i do prefer this version.

[Spike294]

@ballaboy5000 You did NOT just say that, bro... But yeah, MFGG rock. But so does Elton John and the original version of this song (least in my opinion). Have a good one!

[misterbuckethead]

@ballaboy5000 dude, i bet you they don't think the songs they're covering are shitty

[jdallman6]

@ballaboy5000 I agree, look at what they did with country road...freakin John Denver! Come on, these guys are awesome!!

[CFerrell513]

@ballaboy5000 Well my friend, when you say this is a shitty song. That IS a huge disrespect to SIR Elton John (Yes he was knighted by the Queen). So honestly you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.

[carguy379]

@CFerrell513 so just because he doesn't like elton john's version he doesn't know what hes talking about?

[ml876]

@CFerrell513 hes not allowed to have an opinion?

[westside707norcal]

@CFerrell513 do u have any idea how many rapists, murderers and pillagers were "knighted by the crown"!!!!

To hell with the queen and crown! What, does knighthood from that bitch make him a saint?

[alexaugustine302]

@ballaboy5000 its sir elton john lol ;P

[JaySkaBoomUK]

@alexaugustine302 It's Sir Elton Hercules John haha

[dragganforce]

@ballaboy5000 they don't make covers of shitty songs!! man.. when I was a kid my parents were rocking out to all this (well not my mom lol) they just take songs that were good back then and make them good now. I was blown away when I first heard all these tunes.. soo awesome. P.S. I miss my NES

[CSAPunk13]

@dragganforce I still have my nes

[thexcoreissilent]

@ballaboy5000 you're fucking high

[CH760]

@ballaboy5000 You are an idiot if you think this song was ever shitty either that or you are twelve.

[TheBabyRapist]

<3 x 99,999,999,999,999!

[wrestlemaggnot]
