Smile Like You Mean It (Cover) - Tally Hall

[tkmry158]

I just tried playing the original and cover together - shame one's faster than the other.

[tkmry158]

This is awesome. AS GOOD AT THE ORIGINAL, AND THE ORIGINAL IS PERFECT

[AnnieBanana978]

For complete "eargasm" play this twice, on two separate tabs, about 30 seconds apart. I agree with everyone, I love the Killers, but these guys outdid them in this one. Just perfect!

[brumbot]

the way they make that little ditty after they sing "smile like you mean it" sound alien-esk is fdhfadlsjg facking fantastic

[xgeorgiaa]

Fuck me dead. I NEVER thought I would like, no scratch that - LOVE a song thats a cover of The Killers. I mean, still not as good as the original. But holy fuck, I love this.

[jademarsden22]

this is an amazing cover! i thought nothing could beat the killers, but this voice gives brandon flowers a run for his money

[kimxchan]

Tally Hall covering the Killers? I am in love.

[crossmyheart1996]

any reason why i can't see the video?

[papierbagprincess]

Thumbs up if you would love to hear Mumford and Sons do a cover of this

[Asstricks]

Tally Hall is a very talented group! My favs by them are Bananaman and The Bidding!

[laurarox80]

I've been looking for this! Omg amazinglly amazing the band and the cover! <333

[Retardedpumpkinface]

this song is still so amazing, pass it around!

[Retardedpumpkinface]

Enjoy this song while you can... because a few select individuals are threatening me with infringement.

If you don't like the song, please listen to something else and don't ruin it for the rest of us.

As for me, this is amazing, and it's staying up as long as I can help it.

@NeekTheNook thanks man

[NeekTheNook]

@parosJORJ2 dont mention it :) we need to keep the hall alive!

[cachirnev]

THE OC awn i miss so much :(

[SimVisionNetwork]

@cachirnev me too

[gggskywalker]

so good.

[SUPERyoshi95]

I like The Killers version is; the message is portrayed better.

[TypewriterLove]

the original is extremely good but you guys are smoking something funny if you think it's better than this version.

[MilesStone92]

I have been looking for this cover for ever!!! I listened to it on imeem.com but imeem became myspace music and i couldnt find the song anymore:(. but i now found it! thanks for posting!!!

[NeonWonderland83]

Wow guys, really? This isn't better than The Killers original version at all. That's a good one though; funny. This isn't bad, it's just not better in any way.

[keyboardqueen98]

this one is good and all but NO ONE can amount up to brandon flowers' voice

[xfreakoutx]

when the chorus starts for the first time it's just so powerful.. idk it's hard to explain but anyway, i love it.

[steave707]

that sucks....they ruined the song

[WishIWasClever]

@steave707 No dude, the Killers version is the original. Tally Hall just improved on it, that's all.

[GraffQueen2]

Fucking sick.

[bandflutegirl]

this is amazing. :)

[smailliWyentihW]

My favorite band revamped my favorite song...

And I love it!

Personally, I think it's better than the one by the Killers.

[ElaniTakira]

This is an awesome version! Great vocals, and a neat twist on the b/g music. I like the whistling, really unique stuff.

[ROARproDUCKtions]

I feel that the harminization was great (as it always is with tally hall). I also enjoy the chorus with the typhani and the drums in general. Ross really kicked ass in this one.

[garvito101]

timpani

[ThePathofHavoc]

incredible

[joshuaradin123456]

i love this cover so much

however i love the original also

nice nice nice

[TheForestEnds]

It's like... Beirut had a love child with Andrew Bird and the Kings of Leon.

I dig it.

[artistsComplex]

There's no "better than" for me.

I like both bands and both versions are good. : /

They're each good in their own right.

(Kind of like "Such Great Heights" for Jack Johnson and The Postal Service.)

[allthatisx]

This version is infinitely better than the Killer's version. The musicality is more complex - and the chorus is so much grander.

[sabitanclip]

NO  .

[allthatisx]

It sounds petulant to disagree so strongly without any kind of reasoning.

[sabitanclip]

wow such big words O_o

[mechanicalpuddinfoxx]

i really like this versoins but i still like the killers more.

[bowsie221]

Amazing version, im not sure if its better than the original but i love it. Just sucks it from a soundtrack from the worst show around.

[ryan4588]

definetly without question better than the original version :D and im a killers fan :)

[labelcillo]

This is surely a good job, but the fact that there are many comments saying "better version than the killers'" makes me think... so i'm the weird one here?

Great song, great band, but unless you're tally halls' mom and dad, please dont say theyre better than the killers. tally just can't touch them.

[cArNaVaLGirL3195]

i agree :D

[DoSomething27]

Except for the fact that, musically, the Killers have just about as much talent as a third grader with a recorder after the three weeks of music classes that everyone goes through in comparison of a band with an actual award winner composer. Just saying...

[funx24X7]

A favorite song of mine done by a favorite band of mine. Justice has been served.

[BRNed]

THIS SUCKS ASS!!!!!!

The killers could and should kick their ass!

[mashunit12]

thats be born not born again my bad

[mashunit12]

Tally Hall is one of my favorite bands and this song is no fluke. Check out Just Apathy, Greener, Born Again, Tally Hall is amazing.

[sig2k]

wow! this is a much better version of the song, really like it

[Nookakarra]

any one have the audio track for this

[MissKenzieLoVe]

epic

[cArNaVaLGirL3195]

I heard this on the oc fourth seasoooon!!!

greaat!

[saladlegs]

i love this version so much!

[cougarsftw]

This is amazing....like worth shedding a tear it's so good.

[springheeledjack08]

As much of a die hard Killers fan as I am, I actually like this version better.

[marianay8]

beautiful.

[JalapenoJelly]

Is Joe Hawley singing?

[THallFan15]

yes it's joe.

[BlueEyesWhiteTina]

This one is different. But unlike the original, you can hear his voice with detail and really listen to him. I admit i dont like the whistle thing lol kinda western, also cuz i cant whistle....and im 19 waaa lol jk But i do like it ^^

[sararerun28]

awsome :) the only way i would ever love it :)

[laurarox01]

this is a great twist on the original.

[SuperHerioes]

Brandon Flowers voice is so much better- sorryy but love him to much to say this is better than the original.

[cafeterialoca]

This is a really cool cover. I actually somewhat like it more than the original song.

[Bestym8bo]

is it werid that i like this :s

[mrmantafury]

amazing...

[superbford]

At least they had a slightly different take on it.

[05ella]

Awesome cover !=)

[glennohagan]

gr8 just gr8

[soldis]

fantastic cover. the killers must be proud.

[JediKenobix]

I love the whistling

[bigmanbreakfast]

This is an awesome song, this version is great.  The Killers suck. This is where its at.

[JediKenobix]

bullshit, the killers song is amazing, this one is good too though.

[lizardface1234]

Tally Hall makes me happy like none other. They put on an amazing show.

[Neptunade]

Not a cover.

[jeremeytheninjaman]

yes, you idiot, this was written by the killers

[Neptunade]

meant that this isn't a cover of Tally Hall's cover... tsh... of course I knew this was a cover! What do you think I am?

Oh, that's right.

[blurookie]

Your a retard

[Neptunade]

... how much that means to me...

[Neptunade]

Is a lot and not much.

[ludlowyanis93]

Well for a start he/she is not a retard, you're obviously the retard 'cause you can't even spell "you're" - what kind of shit school do/did you go too? [laughing out loud]

[poopoo38018]

"what school did you go too"

to*

[laughs at loud at the grammar Nazis doing it wrong].

[reddawg032]

pwned

[patkin23]

i love this well done!

[IloveOMunn]

It's a good start, but they can always improve. I've heard songs from Complete demos to TH's first release to now and they get better each time.

[cwsnow]

2:45-2:50 = classic freddy mercury sound. love it.

[glennohagan]

the killers are my favourite band

this is one of their best songs

but you could top them

[l3an151]

it's nice but I'd still prefer the original one by The Killers

[LarryDong]

I like Tall Halls version more than the killers

[broadwaybabe07]

yes!!!!

[jeremeytheninjaman]

i know! its WAY BETTER!

[JakeIsOnTheInternet]

I like the original a lot, and The Killers in general. Tally Hall did an amazing job with this cover, as they do with all their covers.  Good stuff all the way around :)

[Mischaal]

much better than the original!

Great work, Tally Hall!

[AnOnEMooose]

this shows how much better bands like tally hall are than the shit being exposed on TV.

Tally hall all the way

[Retardedpumpkinface]

I like this song, and I am happy to post it on youtube for everyone to check out.

[CookyMonster16]

below poster = LMAO

"best" and "indie" in the same sentence

give this guy the national TOOL award! XD

[no2mro2]

explain yourself, Good-sir. Sufjan Stevens is the best indie artist to ever sing about wasps while wearing butterfly wings. now that's true and can't be disputed.

despite the fact that I don't agree with your entire premise - you can't debunk that tiny example I've given up there. but anyway, I'm curious what you're thinking, sincerely. would love to hear.

[LCOfeatJS]

the killers are one of the best indie-bands ever!!!!

[poopoo38018]

Killers are not indie.

At all.

[tyleroooo9]

hhaha n ot even a picture, lol you tube is the new mp3 sitee , does any one no who to ridd you tube vids yett !!!

[lotty275]

great! thanks for this song :)

[ELKNIJO]

this sucks.

[Ranoko123]

[deanandjo73]

ROT IN HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[olaflores]

pretty nice

[scottnyland]

What a tune....... Tally hall does it justice!!!! Reminds of the o.c Devastated its finished!!!

[Maryxox]

this is on the oc mix 6 :D love it!

[Knickknack7450]

bad, is this a man or a woman singing i cant tell

[sabitanclip]

the killers are d best for me but this version is really good. the beginning was great and the whistling 2!

[ekoqijm]

Great remix

[BritishBobbie]

Gotta say I like it, it's a good alternative.

[LNMxxx]

cool :)

[kmmflyers]

is this supposed to be music?

[Dibsonthehotguy]

'the hell's wrong with you?! You think it's not?! Tally Hall rox meh sox. Scratch that, they rock yo socks and you know it.

[EvilEqual]

I'm sorry but... ugh... my ears are bleeding T_T

[SpookyKeuning]

Ooh, this isn't bad. I like it :D

[surfchick01]

SO good

InMyOpinion almost good a the origional :]

X

[hyperKnc]

I like the timpani, but it makes it hella hard to cover. I also prefer the whistle to the synth.

[berglin1992]

this song is very nice

[soc3chappd]

Love the intro, and verses, i think the chorus is a bit of a let down ( think its a little over the top with the timpani and cowboy whistle). But still a good rendition. Good harmonys, didnt think it was possible to cover this tbh. Choir is quite effective on this.

[Thimblesworth]

It almost reminds me of Andrew Bird doing a cover of this...Great job, Tally Hall!

[domsmile]

the chorus is :)

[maefire]

ooh, ilikethisrendition:)

[Partyrockerrr]

Tally Hall :-)

[bigyellowtaxi3]

do you know who is singing this?

[littlebluedragon]

Mr. Illiteracy, obviously.
