  • I hate all of these....

  • Terrible attempt of a good song. That is all.

  • it's hilarious how terrible this sounds with "proper" singing

  • i liked the fat dude with a fro tbqh they should let him in the band

  • WHY

  • fucking christ...

    

  • this is hilarious

  • Not modest mouse. This. This is utter shit.

  • Utter shit.

  • damn this is great. i bet modest mouse would be proud

  • what an awkward cover.

  • To tell you the truth. I think Dashboard is a song that would be better covered than Float on. Float on is just too Modest Mouse to be covered, but I think Modest Mouse's earlier albums were the best because some songs on their newer albums just suck while the ones they want to be good, sound good.

  • Way better than the kids bop version

  • i like the song, im just not crazy about the video

  • @MrThecrizman actually reverse what i said

  • can't find the hate button...

  • watching this makes me want to cut myself...

  • soooooo weak in comparison to the original.

  • im gonna shove Modest Mouse CDs in 78 people's throats and maybe they'll respect the REAL modest mouse (ya know, the good kind)

  • Can not unhear @_@

  • "I do what I do, and I do it with some style. It works. But the type of singing that they tend to do on `American Idol’ is what I call `sodeling’—the combination of soul and yodeling. The thought that someone would be crooning away and sodeling on one of our songs seemed hilarious to me." -Isaac Brock

  • my eyes and my ears will never cease to bleed

  • What.......the FUCK?!?!

  • Nuke from orbit. its the only way to be sure.

  • As if Float On was a good song anyway. Stop crying fags, this is bad but so was that album and their latest.

  • @TheNumberOneGuyDude float on is a good song. and so is that album

  • well um, yeah guys. Its a commercial, of course they're going to distort the meaning of the song.

    Take it with a bit of salt.

  • This is just horibble. No, just no. This is nothing like Modest Mouse. way to completely ruin it,  LOL

  • why oh god why

  • AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

  • The thing I like about this video is how its director completely distorted the meaning of this song. Rather than it showing the true meaning of this song (although you will go through many hardships during your life you will still "float on" and be ok with it). The idiot who made this shows the gods (idols) of today "floating on" in a ford mustang.

  • THE NUKES... LAUNCH THEM.

  • Is it that bad? If you want Float On to be killed as we know it, look at the Kidz Bop version.

  • The horror. THE HORROR...

  • put my thumb up if you think this cover SOARED... like the HINDENBURG! --->

  • I finally understand why the terrorists hate us.

  • i think the word i'm looking for is BARF

  • bad news for people who like good music

  • @LPFan33

    best comment of all time

  • @LPFan33 modest mouse is great music

  • am i the only modest mouse fan not drunk on pabst here? this went past disappointing, to comical in an annoying way.

  • That's actually disturbing and upsetting. It genuinely almost makes me lose faith in humanity, or at least music. Normally when I feel this bad, I listen to 'Float On'. How ironic. Fortunately I can still slide The Moon and Antarctica, the universal cure for life's problems, into the CD player. Hopefully that will cure me.

  • What a fail. What. A. Fail.

  • a great song by one of my favorite bands is being ruined. im gonna have to cry myself to sleep tonight

  • fuck fuc fuck fuck fuck my life

  • "I ran my mouth off a bit too much and what can I say?" Wow.

    They got the lyrics wrong, should be "What did I say?"

  • These people have no regard for Modest Mouse and what they stand for. They're the ones who like all their pretty songs, and they like to sing along, and they like to shoot their guns. But they know not what it means, no they know not what it means when they say "Yeah."

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOONONONOONOOOOOOOOO­O GOD FUCKING DAMMIT NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOO i am crying. goddammit, my fav band years ago being ruined.

    im in tears god kill me

  • Holy fucking shit no. At least it wasn't Gravity Rides Everything.

  • WOW, I am so pissed off right now i dont even know waht to say!

  • burb take this off you tube

  • Poor Poor Poor Isaac!

  • #1 This is fucking hilarious, even if it is a terrible job of the song.

    #2 This is why Modest Mouse songs should only be sang by Issac Brock.

  • Or at least people who understand the song instead of just thinking it's pretty, gussying it up in the human condition that Modest Mouse worries about.

  • OH GOD WHAT THE FUCK

  • I am physically ill

  • how the fuck do you think it's okay to do this!? This actually offended me.

  • WTF!!!!! i think I just threw up in my mouth. Poor Modest Mouse. This is such an amazing song. And these mofos just screwed it up.

  • sell outs-

  • what the fuck was that!!! how dare they!!

  • i think I just puked up blood

  • i tink dis iz jus grate akchuly! I luv American Idol!

  • end i fink dat u ned 2 lurn how 2 speel!

  • poo poo, poo poo.

  • is it normal for my ears to be bleeding ?

  • jesus christ. i hope that fat guy will put a gun in his mouth and pull the trigger

  • holy shit. I mean seriously what the fuck man, this is totally and utterly ridiculously horrible. I feel like taking a dremel to my ears on full speed.

  • I think I just died a little.

  • This is the worst thing I have ever seen.

  • I bet Isaac Brocke puked blood when he saw this

  • Hard to puke up blood when you're surrounded with dolla billz

  • @Maverac Considering Isaac Brock must have signed off giving Ford approval to use his song, and considering he probably got paid a tidy sum for doing so, he's evidently not too bothered.

  • @Maverac

    ...I think i beat him to it.

  • absolute filth

  • What the fuck? you fuckers didn't even sing it right. Fuck! what the hell. no shit this fucking sucks... the only good part about this is the lyrics and well, Fuck you assholes for making it sound shitty.

  • abysmal, borderline egregious.

  • LOL

  • this is hilarious! brock only let idol have this song because he "has a sense of humor" clearly this is what he was imagining. no one can sing like isaac, especially "good" singers. this is pure lolhood

  • fuck this shit.

    this song is overplayed still and still doesnt sound like the modest mouse i knew

  • You bastards leave Modest Mouse alone and let them play the song.

  • uh! this is a perfect example of why modest mouse shouldn't go mainstream, they make one song that-could-be-argued-to-be-mai­nstream-by-a-tonedeaf-lobotomi­zed-10-year-old and people bend it over a barrel and fuck it up the ass until it is a lifeless, bloody pulp.

  • COP CAR IS SUPPOSED TO BE HIGH NOT LOW STUPID PRODICERS, i think my ears are bleedinng

  • God... they absolutly ruined a great song

  • aww jesus no

  • Dear fucking lord did they just murder Modest Mouse? That had to be one of the most painful things my ears have ever listened to.

  • indeed.

  • Vandalism of one of the best bands on the planet.

  • This sends shivers through my spine. haha...

    I'd like to see them do Teeth Like God's Shoeshine... now that would be hilarious.

  • That made me laugh just thinking about it

  • Or Shit Luck

  • ouch

  • it hurts me personally when people mess up modest mouse

  • AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­!!!!!

    I hate people

  • I don't really like the original much but this is still disgusting

  • What the fuck is this?Im tired of people fucking up good songs.

  • Oh boo fucking hoo, guys.

  • it was all okaaaaay

    Jesus. Christ. Why?

    I guess it's better they did this song than 3rd planet or something

  • Just...why? WHY? What did Modest Mouse ever do to them? I just...augh! How could they do something like that to Brock & Co.?

  • This...this is so pathetically bad.

  • I'm pretty sure Isaac and the boys didn't sign off on this one, what an abomination. Every music fan died a little bit during that.

  • lol XD

  • He said he let them do it so he could laugh at how badly they would fuck it up.

  • Fuck me that was the worst Ford commercial ever, Fuck American Idol for helping to further culturally retard america, but at least they didn't cover one of Modest Mouse's Indie songs, I'm gonna puke

  • What the fucking fuck? I just saw Modest Mouse tonight and now the experience has been shat all over. I'm crying on the inside.

  • What the fukc.

  • Great. The sheer monstrosity of this has deafened me. Now I can never listen to music again.

    Thanks FOX, you evil mother fuckers.

  • I think I just threw up in my mouth.

    Oh wait, gag, there it goes all over my monitor.

    This is most abhorrent desecration I've witness in some time.

    This is unredeemable. I'll never even look sideways at this fucking show, ever, again.

  • Jesus, no. NO, NO, NO.

  • oh god

  • HAHAHAAHHAHAHA

  • what a disgrace...

    holy smokes how great would a cover of Teeth Like God's Shoeshine be fro these goons?

  • Haha, a cover of Teeth Like God's Shoeshine would be hilarious.

  • hahaha definitely

  • Oh God I can only imagine

  • At least they didn't cover any other Mouse song besides this. God awful though.

  • i might just go kill myself while listening to cowboy dan.

  • I always thought covers could be a good thing.

    Though with this I may have to reconsider.

  • OK ... I need to go lie down now.

  • i just threw up

  • that was SO bad.

  • does this translate into Isaac winning american idol?

  • loooololol

  • NEEEERRRRRRD RAAAAAAGAGGGGGGEEE

  • haha wow Isaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccc­c...

  • OMG

  • Poverty.

    Disease.

    Hunger.

    This version of Float On.

  • HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.

  • WTF ! wtf ! wtf !

  • wow that sucked balls...

  • jesus christ... why?

  • this is absolute filth

  • Again American Idol proves it has nothing to do with real art.

  • Dear god. That was terrible. Make it go away.

  • wtf

  • Egad!  D=

  • lmfao

  • FUCKING TERRIBLE

  • It's no major suprise that they just fucked it up.

  • "I'm not a singer, per se," he explains. "I do what I do, and I do it with some style. It works. But the type of singing that they tend to do on `American Idol' is what I call `sodeling'—the combination of soul and yodeling. The thought that someone would be crooning away and sodeling on one of our songs seemed hilarious to me."

  • Isaac permitted this demonstration of faggotry strictly for the lulz. Said so himself in a not so recent interview. I'll post the quote when I find it.

  • FUKKIN AWESUM

  • Fucking Mother of fuck fucking GOD FUCK NO

    FUCK

  • This really makes me want to kill people. Pretty much terribly depressing. *vomits*

  • I think I puked a little in my mouth while seeing this...

  • This makes me want to back my car over them.

  • oh god its making me so mad

    im crying now, this is making me so upset

  • this is just too horrible for words

  • This is amazing. So short a clip, covering such a great song, resulting in such major cringing.

  • ahhhhhh! no nononnonononnono! this isnt right! too much fagishness.. gonna die of so much fag in this video i cant breathe

  • the kidz bop version is worse. *shudder*

  • This just makes me sad, I could care less about Modest Mouse letting others use their music, they are my favorite band and I still love them and its a good way to promote their music which defenitly more people need to hear, but these fucking pop, i'm gonna try to fit into the mainstream band sound, american idol shitheads, took one of the best and most meaningful modest mouse songs and fucking desecrated it. This cover sucks ass.... period.

  • "Figuring out ways to pay the rent isn't really a tough decision. Around the time we did the beer commercial and the shoe commercial, I thought, 'Am I compromising my music by doing this?' And I think not. I like keeping the lights on in my house. People who don't have to make their living playing music can bitch about my principles while they spend their parents' money or wash dishes for some asshole..."

  • "...Principles are something that people are a lot better at checking in other people than keeping their own. My rationale behind the beer commercial was, 'I like drinking MGD! I like beer probably more than I should, probably more than is healthy.' I was hoping I could get a lifetime supply out of the deal, but I guess I'll have to buy it with that big ol' check. [Laughs.]"

    -Isaac Brock

  • This hurts to watch.

  • Everytime shit like this happens, God kills a hispter.

  • Isaac Brock is a legend. Hearing these pricks do a version of Float On with their fucked up pop-style singing made me piss myself.

    Bow to Isaac Brock.

  • kaleps47 it is Hailey I believe. She has to be. She's the only other one in the top 12.

  • no... just, no.

  • Jesus harold christ on a crutch this is horrible.

  • I love this song whoever sings it!

  • youre really stupid =*( and i hope you die.

  • I don't know you but i want to stab you for saying that

  • In the beginning who is the other person that isn't Chris and Sangaya? It's bugging me that i can't figure out who it is. I'll probly feel stupid when i find out.

  • This is just so wrong.

  • They did NOT do a Modest Mouse song. I'm dying inside.

  • Modest Mouse sold them the rights.

  • american idol is still on tv? do people watch that anymore?

  • shit

  • sanjaya looks like a women

  • lollol gina and blake

  • Noooo! I feel raped. Modest Mouse on American Idol is like... is like doing a reggae cover of Beethoven's 5th!
