Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Goodbye Earl

[SuperBkillian]

Need.... More..... MFATGG!!!!!!!!!!!

[dtmevolved]

I think this would make an awesome movie.

Two guys run into a man named earl who pays them to get him out of town. They shortly find out that they're being followed by his crazy wife

[cheezkid]

This is one of their best songs ever.

[LinkyXDou]

Haha

MFATGG, FTW!!! :D

[ToriFan61]

The song is a parody of a song that was meant to be a joke-are we all so politically correct that we can't laugh about spousal abuse in the era of terrorists and economic failure?

[atomicspatula]

@ToriFan61 By PC I'm guessing you mean "fucking stupid".

[Ryak1234]

A certain cop in this video was once president of USA in a certain tv show. *ahem* Nathan *cough*

[hexrei]

Love the CMT logo in the corner, that's fucking hilarious :D

[cheezkid]

Gimme Gimmes forever! I have every CD of theirs! They have a new CD coming out next month.

[punk25ist]

ive been looking for this cover and finally found it. great song. better than the origional.

[WhamDamn]

HOLY SHIT THAT IS FAN FREAKING TASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive listenedt to the dixie chicks singing this for just about ever... when i first heard this on pandora i was like "no... fucking... way..."

[RoxiiIsTheName]

@WhamDamn So I'm  not the only one who found this on Pandora? Yeah! c;

[CHHSfreshman09]

LOLOLOL

[killadingahopper]

hows this on cmt?

[truebluegt2002]

I don't earl had to die. How do we know she didn't earn it?

[RockinRustle]

when i listen to this version of this song, i can actually picture someone really kickin earl's ass. can't say i picture that as much listening to the dixie chicks version. both versions are good, but this one in my opinion's better

[xNoFuckinIdea]

Anyone know where to get some decent tabs for this song?

Already tried ultimate_guitar.

[ADTRisthechode1990]

Jenna from 30Rock?

[sometimehurt]

awesome playing good song.I'm MFATGG fanatic :D

[kesharox00]

Love the original but this soooooooo much better!!

[kaitikaiba]

I love this! I love the original too.

[superorange42]

Both versions are great. :)

[jeffrage87]

Awesome.

[jamm830]

Must have been the Charger

[liadrummer]

joey cape

[lgwgn88]

wow goddamn, lauren holly! dumb and dumber is my favorite movie, this makes it even better that lauren likes gimmes!

[Breze84]

@lgwgn88 Uh this video is actually the Dixie Chicks video just used for this song...

[InvaderZim83]

@lgwgn88

Lauren Holly probably doesn't even know who Me First are. probably a fan of the Dixie Chicks though. *cough* country sucs.

[robbopunk]

@lgwgn88 i hate to be the bearer of bad news mate but the video you just saw is actually from the original version of the song by the dixie chicks with a few bits cut out for timing and shit, but hey dumb and dumber is the greatest fucking movie of all time

[amrtnz77]

me first and the gimme gimmes have one fucking good song. and this isnt it.

THIS BAND SUCKS!

[JugashvilliOnline]

@amrtnz77

MFATGG = Coverband

U = Idiot

[batarajarock]

Joey Cape

[Ossadas]

This video+This song=AWESOME WIN

[ThisUselessHeart2]

I actually like the Dixie Chicks and this band. I've got nothing but respect for both parties, so it's all good. :)

[smittty1911]

good 4 earl. til death do us part. 

[9erfandex]

Nice cover, I'm sure the Late Great Dennis Linde is smiling in Hillbilly Heaven, in fact the lead singer for MFATGG's is preferable to the sawed-off blonde bitch Dixie Chick!

[19Tammie70]

Country doesn't suck... just the Dixie Bitches do

[ArbuckleKid]

classsic



[Luxwoly]

my dad looks like Earl

[ROXYVOAKES]

wow - without all the country in the way i can actually GET this song! lol :P

[helloimtom100]

i didint even know the dixie chicks wrote this song will i read the commments

[RitaIsEdible]

Goooooooooooooooooooddbye Earrl!!! (:

[WolfehXD]

its a great version, they just missed the "them black eyes peas tthey taste all right to me earl" but still awesome

[richis2fast4u]

I really like this version and the Dixie Chicks version. Good job guys.

[K90hellorabbit]

I cannot believe you think fat mike is in MxPX, sum 41 or blink 182. . .wow, nevertheless, this band rocks!

[TooMuchCTV]

@K90hellorabbit Would it be NoFx ......?

[twitchsterkid]

YA!.... YA!....

[uofapeter]

Fat mike should stick to MXPX.. Gimme gimmes suck

[bobbygow]

@uofapeter no no, fat mike should stick to his band sum 41. wait, no ... blink 182.

[robbopunk]

@uofapeter fat mike isn't in mxpx

[rolandhetfield]

sådan skal man spille Dixie Chicks

[sammybakermusic]

their best cover by far

[pricelesspistola321]

good timing

[JokersSmile82]

This is a pretty good vid

[littleflyergirl101]

I love Lauren holly!!(; she is so beautiful; and if someone did that to my bestfriend I'd kill them too! Great video..

[funboykendo]

adoro questa versione dei me first and the gimme gimmes

dal contry al punk HAH!

[Phillipmorrisonc]

This song sucks. This version is ok, but seriously this song pisses me off. Like if you have an abusive spouse kill em.. yeah ok

[hexrei]

@Phillipmorrisonc oh boo fucking hoo. like the song says, no one missed him at all.

[RITFWKen]

Finally, the Dixie Chicks have done something worthwhile for music........

[lnavitka]

Everything sounds better as punk music. They need to do a Beatles vs. Beach Boys album. Probably get sued by dicks for that though.

[maddy199511]

true

[Eipk]

さいこうです

[biggrin30]

wouldn't it be nice for abused women if they killed their husbands who had no friends, they wouldn't get put in prison?

[robertditto1987]

nice cut guy ;)

[jysluggo]

Too damn short. It's awesome, but they half-assed it. ...Could have been much better had they followed through on the whole song.

[Frankb1989]

that wanda girl plays jenna in 30 rock XD

[causeiuhgotta]

Ironic how Dixie chicks and MFATGG both hate Bush! Along with the rest of the world! LOL

[NOFX1231]

i def thought this was the gimme gimmes video lol

[BoogerCheeze]

I had to listen to this 6 times before realising it was a cover. A further 10 to work out which band it was covered from.

[darylcatpiss]

awesome innit, much better than the original

[lillopez215]

was that that big ass guy from happy gilmore???

[PaulyGM]

I wonder how the Dixie Chicks liked this cover

[kzolotar]

DO NOT destroy this with emo bullshit...

Great song, great band... live with it, ya fucks...

[ZombieGorePrincess]

dude! I didn't know Adrian Pasdar was one of the cops!! HAHA!! Nathan Patrelli!!!

[xXxTRYAGAINxXx]

hahaha i told my self the same thing XD

[DomesticWarfare]

the only way i could listen to country

[Journeyofcards]

better than the dixie chicks.

[maddy199511]

agreaed

[spawn2192]

@Journeyofcards especially the fat one

[kevintimmers666]

@Journeyofcards

i will give you a hell yeah! for that

[DreamerM]

Dixie Chicks + punk rock = WIN

[TheRationalBeing]

Nice job with the video edit to fit the song timing.

[CarrieTaylor01]

BITCHIN' !!!!

[The23jackolantern]

me first and the gimme gimmes does awesome covers. some bands make covers sound like crap.

[kzolotar]

The only way to cover music is to do it better.... MFATGG do it right... you know where the come from?

[GrimmSoldier]

So does Me First just do covers then?

[Imandote]

Yup.

[ramblersghost]

you got it slick

[theartofnotbeingseen]

yeah, and they've been doing them for YEARS ! check 'em out... they're great.

their cover of "only the good die young" is amazing.

[causeiuhgotta]

I believe I can fly, Nothing compares 2 u, and Crazy are awesome too!

[jaymosworld]

Song has never sounded better !!!

[BananaHP]

I love this song!! And I personally like this version better because I don't particularly like country that well. But the Dixie Chicks are awesome too!

[23TheEnd]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­a....grezzzi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[99nirvanafan99]

haha i love this band they can make country songs sound actually good

and not lame as fuck

Ska 4 life!

[cheezkid]

@99nirvanafan99 this is not ska....

[3willow7]

awesome

[Krufelcheen]

ich find edas tempo perfect!

[Baabbmali]

thanx for the info muler... I like this version better though

[Phill6KOA6]

Country is the Douchest music

[klspate]

What a better version, Country sucks...

[xen0saga]

@klspate country doesnt suck, dixie does. johnny cash is a bad mother fker

[ShastaLOL]

this would be better if it was a tad slower, but it's still great! xD

[JokersSmile82]

forget that man, its punk rock baby

[majcica]

its punk rock...if it was a ballad it would be slow...it should be faster

[Baabbmali]

hehe, u cant know much about music and how fast or slow it should be..hmm, where should i start... ehh, ur an diot.. and please write me something when ur old enough...to answer...thanks....

[majcica]

typical 15 year old answer...end of discussion

[MegaNerdgirl]

No, this is a ballad, because a balla is simply a song that tells a story. There is nothing to stop a ballad from being fast and awesome.

[fabulousthewayiam]

so just because they did it first they did it better?? that doesn't make sense. I love this version!!

[musicfan872]

no matter what The Dixie Chicks version will always be better cuz well its the original version,but this version is just as good as the original

[soadluvr2]

Your thought process makes no sense

[ieatyomama]

musicfan872,

You must not be such a music fan afterall. The "Sons Of The Desert" performed the song first. They did not have room on their first album to release the song and before they could release their second album the dixie chicks had laid claim to the song. Don't believe me? look up the facts for yourself.

[wagswayz]

Sons Of The Desert sounds like a terrorist group.  I hope they didnt do this song with that cheezy arabic music in the background.

[muler321]

"In the late 1990s, Sons of the Desert discovered a song called "Goodbye Earl" written by Dennis Linde, which they began to perform in concert. The group then recorded the song for a planned second album on Epic. At the same time, the Dixie Chicks, had also recorded the song, and they were planning to include it on their next album as well. Although both bands had planned to release their versions as singles, the Dixie Chicks claimed the song as their own."

Dixie Chicks are a bunch of dicks.

[Ghosts2Girl]

i like this song, but dixie chicks so sing this song cuz they sing it better :D but i still love this version too!

[OchrismongrelO]

Are you kidding? The gimme's vocalist is spot on with this song, there are parts where the chicks vocals arent all that in tune.

[AmericanUTelevision]

Is it just me, or should it always be girls who should sing this song?? This version is undeniably rockin though...

[yvolution12]

Thats 1 million time way better than the Chicks with Dicks... oh I mean the Dixie Chicks version

[Drewriders]

Amen!!

[TheNumber1fredhater]

i hate u

[MrFrancescofrancisco]

grandi me first and the gimme gimmes...li ho visti al magnolia lultima volta che son venuti in italia.....speriam tornino presto con un nuovo tour e un nuovo cd....

[ragondin]

Les Me First enfin en concert en France le mercredi 3 juin au Trabendo! (+ Userless ID en première partie!)

C'est un concert à pas rater, c'est tellement rare de les voir en Europe...

j'ai vu que les places étaient déjà dispo sur digitick!

[CoreofPoisonApple]

I think of it more as a song against domestic violence

[rklover13]

I love both versions

[CrotchViolence]

supermastergod (5 days ago)

You rednecks don't ever realize this song is making fun of you. But I'm not, I'm happy someone taught YALL how to use a computer machine. GOOD JOB! Now go fuck your sister.

lmfao.

this guy is fucking great.

the song isn't actually making fun of rednecks.

more-so, telling people it's still not okay to give your brother head.

[:

[DASJOTUNHEIM666]

good song great cover !

[katiefedele]

wait... did someone say fat mike was in this???

[xrisetovotesirx]

Yeah hes the bassist and they are on his record label Fat Wreck Chords

[katiefedele]

oh! i always thought he was ONLY in NOFX

[katiefedele]

they might be making fun of rednecks, and they might not be. It's actually hard to tell. Either way, i enjoy the song :D and one more thing, nobody does it with their sister, not even the most redneckiest people i know (i live in vermont so there's tons of hicks, they're all over the place). lol

[acidmaniac]

oh it's the girl from 30 rock. (im not American.. i dunno what else she's in...)

[alylaw42]

This is good,

But i still like the Dixie Chick's version better.

:-)

[JohnnyXFay]

Haha. Great song. :D I love both versions.

...Really, am I the only one who likes the Dixie Chicks?

D:

[CN2165]

Probably :P

[butreeks]

i agree i love dixie chicks and ive just found this versions but me first rule it better

[al3xv3rdugo]

I hate this song by the Dixie Chicks. It makes a better punk song then it does a "country song".

[shikkick]

hell yea it does i heard this version first and i loved it then i looked up the original song and it was horrible. but this is awesome

[MegaSpamBot]

Hahaha exactly the same here! Looked up lots of original songs covered by the Gimme Gimmes and most of them were not near as good as the cover versions ;D

[johnnywaters9999]

reason I mentioned FAT MIKE is cuz that bass line @ 1:36-1:45 is awesum. I luv lagwagon Joey Cape dosn't really sing 4 "me 1st" & I didn't realize He was so good @ guitar. No use for a rant about Dave Raun...better than "Gettey Lee"

[johnnywaters9999]

FAT MIKE (NOFX) is the bass player in this band...& the lead singer is a bass player 4 "THE SWINGING UDDERS" the other two are in "Lagwagon" I met them all in Hawaii @ "pink cadillac" theres 1 more IDK about. but they fukin rock

[timmyeatworldpunttk]

The other guitar player also plays guitar for the Foo Fighters. His name is Chris.

[mundoskater]

one of the cops is nathan petrelli from heroes hahahahahahaha

[overchay]

Well, he *is* married to Natalie, the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks.

[punchdrunkatheist]

really?

[overchay]

Yep :] Since 2000, I think. They've got two kids, too.

[barnmaster21]

this was sung by the dixy chicks

[zamboni007]

Or as Jim Rome calls them- the fat one, the cross eyed one and the one thats always pregnant.

[streetgangtm]

lmao nice
