  • It's so funny watching these guys cover this song. They did a great job. Check out my channel if you get a chance. I do cover and original songs. Subscribe if you like what you see.

  • Genial el cover ;)

  • muito massa. Amo rock!

  • is it me or does the lead singer sound like kermit the frog?

    nice cover

  • @june057 He does at times. lol. He sings from the throat a lot I've noticed. I dig his style though. 

  • This cover is cool

  • "no shoes, no shirt, no sweater vest"... sweater vest? lol. love it

  • Cool Cover! Please have a look at my channel and let me know what you think to my songs x JA x DiscoKiss

  • I can't pick up what he sings at 2:25 - 2:28. Can somebody tell me?

  • I love this! Too funny! Wish they would've done this song when I caught them at Six Flags earlier this year... Ah well, it was still a fabulous time!

  • OMG!!!! Awesome!!

    

  • this song was a little too high for his vocal range! shouldn't have been doubled, you can tell the strain in his voice! Great idea though

  • are u people tone deaf?! this was completelyy off key from voices to instruments...dont get me wrong i'm a huge switchfoot fan, they're amazing. but this was terrible and i think they did it this way for a reason. we all know jon foreman can sing...but i do believe there was a subliminal message in them taking a song like this and making it sound....like that

  • Here is a fantastic music video that the Christian world will love! It's called "Don't forget about the walk." It was written and created by a small town pastor that is also making a feature film and has written four books. You don't want to miss it! You can go to his website by going to alanmakimusicDOTcom or search for Alan Maki on youtube. It would only take a second to look and I promise you wouldn't be let down. Look him up! He has wonderful devotionals and an app too!

  • uh oh uh oh uh oh banana

  • best cover on youtube

  • This is so awesome.

  • this is hilarious!!!

  • love this cover~

  • I love the fact that the butchered the song

  • @TheCalvarymaricopa They didn't butcher it. They made a shit song better somehow. They are miracle workers.

  • I love switchfoot ,but i can't tolerate the hypocrisy of them singing Beyonce's song. God please have mercy on them..

  • @BeautifulCriselda I do hope you're trolling.

  • @BeautifulCriselda i understand where your coming from but he could very likely be talking about his love for God and how it makes him crazy to the rest of the world but he could care less, it all depends on your perspective.

  • @BeautifulCriselda What is wrong with the lyrics of this song?

  • @BeautifulCriselda HAHAHAHAHAHAH! ur funny............ no

  • i dont like this it sounds like a train in it

  • 4 Kurt Cobains and a John Miyung ...great

  • Agh going to see Jon play tonight!! I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT :D

  • WTF!!!! best cover....

  • "Power packed with Energy and Bling!"

  • wicked!!!!!!! 

  • around 3:13 he kinda sounds like robert smith they should totally cover the cure for sure!

  • this is great nice song and different way of doing it. i wouldnt leave a comment without the traditional comment post for some of you to check this girl out singing the same song plz comment tell her what you think of her. youtube.com/watch?v=35KMcibLDB­o

  • this is great nice song and different way of doing it. i wouldnt leave a comment without the traditional comment post for some of you to check this girl out singing the same song plz comment tell her what you think of her.

  • Haha this cover is totally awesome guys! Nice job :D I like the beyonce version too

  • @itskragus I like a handful of songs off of their first 3 albums, and they are definitely worth getting, especially since they are cheaper. To me,The Beautiful Letdown and everything after that is just pure gold, practically every song is freaking amazing

  • Wow pretty good :)

  • Oh my gosh @Lingallabaal you are about to experience the most amazing band ever. Their new CD "Vice Verses" just came out and it is the best album ever. EVER!

  • @andrew5924 I think that their first 3 albums are better, but that's just my opinion. @Lingallabaal you can usually buy the three of them (Ode to Chin, Learning to Breathe, and New Way to Be Human) for cheap, I'd definitely recommend them too.

  • Anyone knows if I can buy this in itunes?pls.reply

  • I heard Beyonce did a crappy cover of this... ;)

  • who could dislike this??

  • @livingintechnicolor people who were paid to, I guess

  • Never heard of these guys, found this version surfing. It totally blew me away!

  • @Lingallabaal Linga, welcome to the realm of the incredible. Go out right now and buy The Beautiful Letdown. Listen to that nonstop. Follow up with Oh! Gravity, then New Way to be Human. You'll fall so in love with them by the time you've finished Oh! Gravity for the first time that you'll buy everything they have anyway.

  • haha

    que desperdicio Switchfoot fazendo cover logo dessa aee..

    fico c suas musicas Originais Switchfoot.... letras de verdade

    a pior de vcs cantando q ja ouvi #Tragico

  • a better version in the snow patrol crazy love

  • its a shame when someone does your song better than you <3

  • pérolas de onde não se tiraria nada... isso eh banda!!!

  • After watching this I decided these guys should be my BFFs. I looove Drew's expression in the beginning!

  • That. was. so. weird.

  • To all the people who are criticizing this, Jon Foreman wrote a song for you straight out of the book of Amos called "I Hate All Your Show" go look it up! Man, It's not about fun or music or anything else. Music is not what is sacred, it's people! God doesn't live inside of musical notes or guitars or even church organs. He lives inside of PEOPLE. Also, who are any of you to judge someone else's heart? Man, there are some surprises coming for you, you better believe it.

  • Wow, so it seems to some people that being a christian m = not having any fun. What about people who watch tv or go to Disney world or something like that are they suddenly not good Christians because they decided to do one thing that didn't have to deal with church. That is just crazy. I like this cover and it has no effect on my relationship with God. Maybe some of you need to work on your own problems and stop hating.

  • @heavensdoor19 AMEN

  • Ok, Just cause they do a cover of a song doesnt mean they are automatically weak christians. They are christians, and they like to enjoy this life that god gave them. this is one of the things they do for fun. This was live on TV. so it's not like they recorded it for their cd. It was just for fun.

  • @brefe445 Luke 6:42 How can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

  • @brefe445 you're obviously an idiot if you think this isnt a christian band. They go across the counrty saving ppl, leading ppl to god and they decide to do a remix of this so automatically you think they're fake. You're just a hipocrit. They passed out thousands of bibles to victims of hurricanes last year.So maybe you shouldn't criticize them.

  • This is quite sad. I agree with John. It's dangerous only listening to weak Christian rock bands because they confuse Christains who aren't so strong in their faith. An example is the number of people who like this cover. Really sad!!

  • @brefe445comon mannnn lighten up! you said "It's dangerous only listening to weak Christian rock bands because they confuse Christains who aren't so strong in their faith".....they did this song for FUN... have you never done or said one thing that doesnt involve church or God..... cause i have, and you have.. and now you say switchfoot is a weak christian band. mannnn im tellin you. if you tell people this song is bad for people with little faith...then its YOU that has little faith.

  • This is quite sad. I agree with John. It's dangerous only listening to weak Christian rock bands because they confuse Christains who aren't so strong in their faith. An example is the number of peoplw who like this cover. Really sad!!

  • @brefe445 @jjohn77700 Hey, guys! I didn't know God sent an angel to tell to you guys that He's chosen you to take over the whole judging thing! That's really cool! You guys must be super special.

  • @honestlyyesno hahah!

  • That's the trouble only listening to weak christian bands you don't get to hear to many good bands. Don't get me wrong there are tons of crappy secular bands to but these guys would be flipping burgers without their Christian fan base. Enjoy your "rock lite" sounds kinda like rock with only half the talent.

  • This is wicked awesome!! They should so release this.

  • the "powerpacked with energy and bling" really got me...:))

  • Hey skyylarful every one and they mama knows beyonce and her husband are illuminatii stupid!!!!

  • @triplemt89

    24 people like your comment. Your life is now complete.

  • Hey black shirt dude....looks like you got convicted!!!!! Suckaaaaa!

  • tools

  • I looooooove switchfoot and beyonce but I don't listen to her cuz she's not Christian....I'm glad they changed her song!!

  • @danyoung12111996 Not listening to a song just because the singer isn't Christian? Self-righteous much? Come back tomorrow and stop being an elitist ass. You are superior to no one.

  • @BlackShirtOnMondays um u dont get being christian at alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll­ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @danyoung12111996 why is she not Christian?? do you know her personally? YOU MUST

  • I cant find this in Itunes,I wanna buy it!

  • beyonce and jay-z is illuminati... why you singing this song?

  • Instrumentalement parlant c'est génial, c'est foutrement bon mais vocalement, des arrangements sont à faire et à bosser pour arriver à un putain de résultat.

  • ahhh! he hit that high note. he's so cute. <3 jon foreman.

  • what is that weird screeching noise??

  • 666 dislikes

  • lol

  • drew jst cracked me up

  • funny part: 0:00 / 0:24

    incredably awesome part 0:00 / 4:43

    worst part 4:48 / 4:48

  • wow, it's like it's beyonce, but it doesn't have a shitty music video about her being pissed off at men...

  • @HidanReaper123 wait...yes it does >.<

  • Sounds awesome

  • I love switchfoot's music BUT beyoncé is beyoncé, just don't try to cover her songs :S

  • @klrfan y not? that's what a cover's for. if u ask me, they improved it bigtime from it's original

  • what is that thing on the bassists hand?

  • @XDxAKSxXx maracas!

  • But they're so little.... <3

  • it's funny hearing Switchfoot sing something so incredibly shallow.. entertaining for sure! I wonder if they'll do a Britney cover next?

  • no it's not good it's horrible

  • that was the most amazing cover...Ever.

  • so amazing. and i hate the orig.

  • ha love it they sound great

  • wow!

  • smh

  • If Jon was a left, playing a Stratocaster then he would look just like an older Kurt Cobain.

  • to be honest i like switchfoot but i wasnt impressed with this song

  • what were u guys thinking?

  • snow patrol's version is better. just saying.

  • Comment removed

  • i like it clever how u made a R&B song into a tipe of metal music!! :D but the real one is 100x better!

  • I like it! And as one who is generally turned off by the label "Christian Music" (despite being a Christian!) I totally understand why they dont want there music packaged that way! IF i formed a band with a bunch of guys i knew from Church I would want to make music that was personal to me and intended for everyone... I wouldnt just want to write Jesus songs and do gigs in chapels.... that would suck

  • Energy and bling????? LOL

  • Everything about this cover just makes me smile. Entertainment value is through the roof.

  • L.O.V.E  I.T... Taking back JESUS music..

  • this is pretty meh IMO,, i mean it's like nowhere near as heavy as the original :/

  • No ma'am no ham

  • The way they play the song reminds me of Nirvana. <3

  • This video is hilarious; maybe it was intended to be this way. I love it.

  • They would.

    Lol, how amazing.

  • YA-HOOOOoooOOO!!

  • this song takes on a whole new meaning when switchfoot sings it! haha gotta love jon (:

  • wow..they give switchfoot a song thats like something totally different to them and they just freaking nailded it!

  • Does is not kind of kill the idea of making an original cover,and setting the cover apart when we are bombarded with images of Bey-once and Jay Z in the back drop? lol

  • this has gotta be one of those 'what were we thinking?' moments for the foot. It's ok, I still love them.

  • :) power packed with energy and bling :D

  • Who thinks the Yahoo thing at the end killed the mood?

  • They lost the bling but otherwise it`s good

  • hey switchfoot ummm why are you so freaking awesome? just thought i'd ask . . .

  • DUUUDES!!!they can be christian for people that want them to be christian and they can be normal for the folks looking for normal its all about personal perspective ... now chill and listen to the awesome jamming coming out of those computer speakers

  • Comment removed

  • I don't know how I missed this but glad I found it. HOT!! I will be rocking this along with the original. Equally great!

  • lol the last few secs :')

    

  • we choose this song because it's power packed with energy......and bling!!!..hahaha

  • Power packed with energy and bling lol!!

  • i like it .. ^^ .. so sweet yet punk ..

  • XD!!!

    uhmmmm

  • :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

    great job

  • hahahaha is switchfoot trying to make fun of beyonce?haha but i love the cover, it's dope

  • Its cool. =D

    

  • wow LOL jon! I never have liked beyonce, but I love this cover. Gotta love those guys.

  • thank you Jesus

  • how did this vid get more views than sara bareilles' cover of single ladies. wtf

  • Snow Patrol's cover is better. But I still love Switchfoot <3

  • actual singing starts at 1:27

  • All the "Christian band/ non-christian band" talk notwithstanding, this song sucked. They didn't bring anything to the arrangement except a rock feel; any two bit producer could do that. Foo Fighters, Black Keys, Rise Against, heck even John Mayer could've rendered a more original interpretation. Don't get me wrong Switchfoot has their greats (Gone, Mean to live etc.) but this was poor. I don't think they really tried. Maybe they did it as a lark.

  • @lordsxman If you've seen them do this live, where they medley it with Gone, it's pretty sweet. They literally froze mid-song for over a minute; Jon standing on a monitor, Tim with his bass behind his head, Jerome with his face on the keyboard, etc. It was pretty solid.

  • hahaha this just meant the guys were flexible! :D wohooO! switchfoot forever!

  • stick to your own songs please

  • okeeey... i love switchfoot... and i dont really like beyonce but i gotta admite.. this song is not for them.... but it was nice though.... =]

  • i love it even more than the original...

  • nothing beats the original but that was just cooooooooooooooooooooool

  • its better than the original.. lol

  • it's pretty good but oh oh oh no no sounds a bit strange

  • That "YAHOOOOOO" scared me at the end haha

  • "'Cause it's packed with energy and bling." Zing.

  • What kind of bass is Tim playing in this video?

  • @samuelcoolbeans Lakland 44-94 - they usually dont have the pickguard

  • Ok listen up people! If you're wondering wether or not switchfoot is a Christian band, keep reading this post!

    If you wiki them, Jon clearly states that THEY ARE a Christian band, but that "labeling" them as a Christian band tends to be a box that closes out other listeners. They want their music to be for everyone, to show that the love of God goes beyond a church building, or a label.

    So there you go people, look it up, talk to Jon, listen to his music, and get to know what they stand for.

  • this song is awesome.. XD

  • You guys could sing the phone book and make it sound amazing. Great job! xoxo

  • I started loving this song at 0:01.

  • WEIRD. But I like it. Still a BIG fan.

  • I didn't even listen to the song yet and I liked it. lol

  • WOW! BLING!!!!!

  • Ok Switchfoot originally started out as a Christian band, like with there first three albums now they prefer to be a rock, pop, alternative band. So they are and are not Christian band

  • omg

  • switchfoot is not a christian band you idiots.. =_____=

  • @sOulrOckmelO Actually, they are.

  • @JaingStarkiller92 uhhh no they are not..

  • @sOulrOckmelO

    Actually they kind of are.....you idiot

  • @SparkBlazetail sorry they're not, and they never said they were they never had any contract being a christian band. never never never....... idiot

  • @sOulrOckmelO

    They kind of told the world that they were Christians and they said that all of their songs have Christian meanings. At the same time, they said that they don't want to be a strictly Christian band because they don't want to alienate anyone. If that's what you were referring to, then maybe you're right. Otherwise, they definitely said they're Christians and their songs definitely have Christian connotations.
