[Drummer15Boys]

I'm sad i moved away i would have loved this!

[FlashDance002]

A lil too much critisism of John Macain and another thing Mj didnt harm any boys it was made up to get money off him according to a crime program i watched,Otherwise good job,ya really captured the 90s and millenium

[Juliaflo]

Have mercy.

[xDeadPixel]

I can't believe forreston high school has videos on youtube. Damn, moving on up. Badass.

Shockley, you fail. Clinton built this country up while conservative punks like you tore us apart. Obama has done more in a year than money-hungry dickwads like your bitch ass have done your entire life. You republicans make me sick.

Shockleyt your fucking gay man no one cares tht you have so much free time because no one comes 2 buy drinks at your gay bar not our problem so shut the fuck n sit down.

[kwalton2009]

Wow. Thank you to the last comment. At least we know all society hasn't turned to shit. I'm sorry you are so obtuse, shockleyt, but obviously you are NOT the general public. So please, crawl back into your little hole and leave this to the true adults, no matter how old they may be. It is obvious that some of the high schoolers on this page are more mature than you will ever be.

[KztuartS15]

Shockleyt - "alot of time to go around spreading my worthless opinion around to people that don't want to hear it"

Sums up your life right there, hmmm? I doubt that you're much of an asset to society considering you are taking valuable time off of your "professional" career, if it really is a career, to tell people to die in fire.

Hope you make another vid, keep up the good work : )

[KztuartS15]

I enjoyed this vid. Good to see some creativity around here. Not that telling someone to "burn in fire" isn't creative, but I'm sure Billy Joel would love you telling people that, it really supports his beliefs you have stated he stands for. You guys managed to make this song entertaining and true at the same time. Obviously SOMEONE voted for McCain but they're making a joke out of it. Obama won without a doubt so what they said works.

[kwalton2009]

Yeah you're right. The people who frequent e-bay must not be interested in your action figures... We have realized that your professionalism must be incredibly poor and turning away business. *marketing tip--change ur damn attitude and u might make some money. Ya know, you might be someone decent if you didn't go around making fun of high schoolers who have nothing to do with you. Wow...the scum of society have been found. Thank you shockleyt, for revealing yourself.

[shockleyt]

None none of the below, Run a business and it's slow, which leaves me alot of time to go around spreading my worthless opinion around to people that don't want to hear it. As for the childish comments, yeah when you have to be professional all day it's quite entertaining to be childish once in a while. As to Dtimm with the thanks for the views it's called a comments page, which allows me to ramble mindless gibberish without having to suffer the audible atrocity that is your video.

[kwalton2009]

So, i ask you. Will you continue to make yourself look like child by insulting a bunch of high school students because you just don't have a life, and are limited to the confines of your computer? Or will you just agree to disagree and realize that your opinion doesn't mean a fuck to us anyway?

[kwalton2009]

Granted, this video is not incredibly written. One way it could have been better was to include the idiotic members of society, like yourself. Oh. Don't you fucking DARE insult the mentally challenged. The majority of them have twice the IQ you could ever dream of. Again, your inadequacies inhibit your ability to understand, and you are confined to meager insults, which are incredibly child-like.

[Dtimm09]

Once again, Thanks for the views :)

[Dtimm09]

"Go die in a fire" Wow did you think of that all by yourself, because thats funny. You should really consider stand up comedy. You must be one of those people who thinks he is the whole general public too, because you're the only person who's commented negativly on the song. Read the comments, no one but you complains. What are you trying to accomplish by complaining about our video. Do you want an award, because I'm sorry to inform you theres no award for being an asshole.

[shockleyt]

Welcome to the internet by the way. First rule: if you make your work public, do not accept everybody to think it is as glorious as you do. Quite contrary expect the general public to think your efforts are garbage, your performers retarded, and your video as nothing more than a frivolous waste of YouTube's bandwidth

[shockleyt]

Actually it is the work of inarticulate high school kids. While I commend the 'Forreston HS journalism for kids with special needs class' for their efforts, your version is an insult to Billy Joel. Your version has absolutely nothing to do with overcoming trials and tribulations and instead appears as if it was written by autistic 9yr olds with down syndrome operating under a deadline. Please go die in a fire.

[kwalton2009]

Also, with your ignorant, small-minded attitude, you have failed to realize the meaning of the song. The point is while the world is declining in many ways, society has attempted to fight the fall and excel. As a soon to be english major, I try to analyze things for what they truly mean, and not for their outlying appearance. So seriously, please, get a life, and try to see the bigger picture. You're pathetic.

[kwalton2009]

Coming from the senior editor of this journalism class, i would like to say, who are you to comment this video that has incredibly little to do with you? Do you have any qualifications to permit you to even HAVE an influential opinion? Didn't think so.

[Dhaag45]

Let me tell you something Shockly, I'm the editor of that class of 'dumb inarticulate high schoolers, many of which have outscored over 90% of students in the state. As a class, this project split us into groups to discuss things we ALL could relate to. That means that not everyone will agree with all the views presented. It's truly sad that you have nothing better to do but complain that view points other than yours happen to be held by high school students.

[Dhaag45]

And people wonder why nobody likes republicans. (before you accuse me of being a liberal, I voted for McCain; also, did you miss the dis on Clinton?)

[Dtimm09]

Nice comeback, I'm sure after a burn like that I'll never recover. Good observation too, it does repeat because 3 groups made verses to the song and then at the end they were all put together. Seeing as how many times you've commented on this video I'm guessing you can do a better job on the lyrics. If you decide to make your own please send me a link as I would love to watch a better example. Oh, and thank you for watching this video so many times I'm pretty sure your our lead viewer .

[shockleyt]

Dtimm09, you are a dumb inarticulate high school student. As there is many other people that have re-wrote the lyrics to this song without repeating themselves, it shows your class has no talent and put no intelligent thought into this project.

However, I am sure you will grow up and become a productive member of society some how, quite possibly flipping burgers at some fast food restaurant. Maybe with pride and perserverence you will be promoted to the drive thru, just maybe. Enjoy it.

[papa91j]

Wow someone who gets there entertainment by criticizing high schoolers on a class project. Get a frickin life.

[Tarquinist]

@shockleyt "Many people that have re-wrote the lyrics to this song", and yet you have the gall to criticize the intellect and usefulness of others?

[Dtimm09]

You're telling me that the phrase "John McCain is getting old" is liberal Propaganda I have nothing against John McCain and neither does the class, the truth is that these phrases fit the lines they rhymed with. And I'm not saying that some teachers don't push their views, but our journalism teacher had little to do with the song. She gave us the assignment to rewrite the lyrics to the song, what we put in it was our choice not hers so if you hate it so much stop visiting the link to hear it.

[shockleyt]

One phrase, try 3. A teacher is responsible for shaping a childs thoughts whether we like it or not. If you are naive enough to truely believe teachers do not push their political agenda among their students you are a dipshit as well.

[Dtimm09]

And as for our "ignorant" teacher, who is spreading Liberal Propaganda by metioning McCain in one phrase of the song, well she didn't write the song the class did. Why because it's a journalism class and you of all people should know that journalism is all about the freedom of speech, but maybe your teacher forgot to metion that.

[Dtimm09]

Ramifications of socialism, big words for someone who gets his kicks commenting on youtube videos. 95% of blacks may have voted for Obama, but thats only 5% more than the number who voted for John Kerry and Al Gore. The truth is blacks usually vote democratically and even though 5% more voted for Obama this did not give him the win. That was thanks to the 55% of white voters who voted for him. Face the truth, Obama won the Presidency and your soap box won't change this.

[shockleyt]

Try teaching your students the ramifications of socialism, so they don't make the mistakes that the voting youth of today did.

Maybe teach them that voting for a candidate based on skin color is racism. 95% of African Americans voted Obama.

85% of High school dropouts voted for Obama.

[shockleyt]

No one voted for McCain?

Try 58,343,671 people did. 46% of the voting population, there's some statistics for your ignorant teacher

Pretty sad that you would insult a classic song by throwing your liberal propaganda bullshit beliefs into it. We'll see how well this country fares with Obama, and just remember it was Clintons sub-prime loans and mandatory lending for unqualified minorities that set up the economic failures of today.

[CentralCatholicpv2]

all i have to say is AWESOME!!!

[kwalton2009]

Wow. so we're awesome. I'm so glad to be graduating with such a great class. Thanks, Papaj for putting this on here. We kick ass. Hope every1 enjoys it. lol.
