Franz Ferdinand - Womanizer (Britney Spears Cover)

[frangelx3]

his voice is so sexy!

[xXHopesandFearsXx]

Love that it turns into Shopping For Blood.

[yesa96]

love this version, so much "rock" than Britney's, of course! ;) and franz ferdinand are great singing this song!

[XArcane]

Standard. Spears' version has it chorus blatantly ripped from a Highlands folk song (whistle it and you'll see what I mean) so it's only right that the Scottish should take it back.

[kingofdafunk]

This is the worst dung that has ever encountered my eardrums! Its sad when I prefer Britney Spears!

[JohnFrank517]

aaaaaaawesoooooome!!!!

i dont like britney's version, this isnt bad at all XD

[inugal321]

this song was bad to begin with

[JenaBevux514]

hihi i am from uk

[EsperanzaEast]

I prefer it to britney's one.

[unclekevo]

I like Franz Ferdinand but the song really doesn't work for them

[sandalsnsocks4]

@unclekevo reallyy? it at least works for them until the chorus! but yeah that chorus is a bit rough.

[space75gr]

amazing!

[feram3]

WHY?

[nizavirus]

i love fraaaanz !!!!!!

[totovale13]

very very good

[ruhemici]

Shitty. 

[10KLaura]

Woo bit of shopping for blood thrown in for good measure, love it

[tmchervin204]

lol I'm a true expert of causing pleasure to people

[Zorobay]

I must say...this song sucks ass. But all the other Franz ferdinand is OWNAGE!

[SHIMMYshookmybone]

@Zorobay Could not agree more with you

[cecyferraz]

PARKER!



[gde81]

yessss, it's better than the original.... :-D

[manfromregina]

That was cool

[johnforever97]

funny

[tfolv]

291 people hates that this version is 1000 times better than the original

[TheBasqueLand]

Late Palaeolithic

• Homo sapiens sapiens - current type of man

• Art (decoration of caves, bones and stones)

• Evolution towards the Basque type(the white man) begins

• Homo sapiens sapiens soon divides into the racial groups which now inhabit the earth.Each group becomes the origin of the races which we now distinguish. One of them, Cro-Magnon man, evolved indigenously into the Basque group.

• Cave of Urtiaga (Deba) Cro-Magnon type cranium beginning to evolve into the Basque cranium.

[cnking1963]

Fantastic cover....love it!!!

[mformertetta]

Britney Spears'ın ağzına sıçmış sıvamış sonra da bir güzel sifonu çekmiş :D

[Landa6]

gotta love that sexy voice

[chuchofussible]

womanizer!!!!!



[xarliepott]

horrible!!! wakala!

[papipirulo]

@xarliepott  hahaha wakala!! eso viene de mexico o me equivoco?

[falloversteve]

If it is live on BBC, why isnt the soundquality better?

[sarahbearsss]

@falloversteve This was a video of the broadcast, as recorded by someone in the Franz Ferdinand camp. It's not the audio heard on the BBC broadcast.

[1wubbby]

@falloversteve because it is BBC :)

[KJFilmProductions]

wow the they do it way better!!!!

[FresaPerro]

Those low notes automatically make my eyebrows shoot through the roof. Should I see a doctor?

[charlotteT5278]

i prefer this over All American Rejects one, theirs is more humourous, this is more energetic! nice job!

[cheesylovesong23]

Just because I made a mistake does not make me an idiot. You learn something new everyday. Get off my back. At least I know how to type in proper English.

[wingers100]

@cheesylovesong23 Scottish is British u dumb prick

[luixito115]

asco,!

[ophiophilist]

Either way, terratrema's got to learn a thing or two about the way capitalization works.

[yourparadise09]

chuck norris blessed this song

[thechosenon360]

fucking hell, why are all the comments below sooo long

[HellGirl41]

OMG!! YOUR VOICE IS SO HOT!!!

[antisadism]

1 man says he likes a band, 1 man says he doesnt. Its stupid to determine who is correct because no one is truly correct when it comes to assorted and organized vibrations of the ear.

[guanakoDalton]

Jajajaja esta versión si me gusta... Buenísima!

[gh31217]

Te pasaste de verga... enserio

[EnamaAsim]

If the cover is good at 90% is because the original is a good song. I'm not a pop-idol fan but "Womanizer" and "Toxic" are two of the best pop song ever made.

[thehorror2]

Proof positive that all songs can be improved by the inclusion of Alex Kapranos.

[Shinso1992]

is there an album out there, where those cover songs from franz ferdinand are contained?????

I neeed it right now

[teamchefDiao]

give me the fuckin chords



[alohal3x]

FRANZ EVERYTHING THEY DO IS AMAZING!!

[777lunalovegood]

that was funny thanks for commenting

[777lunalovegood]

you retard why the hell do you waste your time writing long comments on stuff you think is shit and how franz ferdinand is shit and how much you dont like them, but you still watch the video do you have nothing better to do in your life than watch videos and post comments on bands you dont even like. wtf! ff are a million times more talented famous and successful than you will ever be

[terratrema]

@777lunalovegood

Was that dumb, illiterate "comment" directed at me? I'll just assume it is, and take it personally.

Why do people always say "Have you got nothing better to do in your life than slag off my favourite sh*t band online? WTF" My life is perfectly interesting, thank you for asking, and I still find the time to pop onto YouTube and make fun of rotten, terrible, awful, awful music.

Yes, "ff" are more famous and successful than I will ever be. So was Stalin.

Stupid and useless comment.

[isisrulz]

@terratrema

I quite enjoyed your comment, and i have to say i completely agree.

[daniellumertz]

much beter than te poor brytney

[1975dze]

Bir womanizer/freebird yanında eşi/kız arkadaşı olmadan rahatlıkla gece eğlencelerine akabilir. Bu durum ona gayet normal gelir, kendini acayip de hissetmez. Niye, çünkü kendini bekar olarak expose edecek ki mekandaki diğer dişi kuşları kaçırmasın. "Yeni biri var mı, hıı radarları açayım, tam fingirdeme modundayım" Ama elbet bir gün foyasının meydana çıktığını somut olarak görürsünüz. İşte o anda hareminden koşarak uzaklaşın!

[terratrema]

I have a theory: Franz Ferdinand are so bad that listening to them non-stop for 12 hours makes you impotent. (I'm not going to try to find out because i don't wanna listen to them even for 12 minutes. I'm already impotent so that part doesn't matter.)

The awesome thing about this rendition, which makes up for its unlistenable shiteness, is that it demonstrably proves what everyone knows but never could admit - that Franz's spell of success a few years ago constitutes a crime against humanity.

[okavipra]

@terratrema I Thought I Saw a Pussy Cat?! . . .I did! I did saw a pussycat HIPSTER !!!! :)

[terratrema]

@okavipra

That was unusual, but good anyway.

[Lillnick1524]

@terratrema

I also have a theory. You are insecure and feel socially inadequate so you feel the need to use a vocabulary much larger than you actually have, trying to make up for the shortcomings you feel you have. Yeah this isn't a very good song and I don't know why they wasted their time making a cover of Shitney Spears but Franz Ferdinand will always be better than "top 40's" hits.



[terratrema]

@Lillnick1524

That statement makes no sense. How can I use a larger vocabulary than I actually have? If I use a large vocabulary, then I must actually have a large vocabulary. You're right about one thing - I do feel insecure and socially inadequate - but that's an entirely seperate issue; my vocabulary has nothing to do with that.

I don't like 95% of all that Top 40 balls, but I don't like 100% of Franz Ferdinand's output, so in my opinion the Top 40 wins.

[crashmidget15]

@terratrema

Ahahaha oh man, I enjoyed your comment's terratrema especially the one about Stalin being famous as well :P.

I agree with you somewhat, I find the lead singers voice can become quite grating after awhile, but I do like a couple of their tunes. This cover is absolutely terrible though.

[champman67]

@terratrema Thank you King Critic, Your opinion, clearly does not matter, and nor does mine for that matter. Don't waste your brain cells trying to come up with a answer, You'll need them to keep your heart beating inside your worthless body. I Do not give a hoot if you dislike my favorite band. We don't, You come back here, LOOKING to see if anyone has answered your message, You appear as a tool, which I have full reason to believe justified.

[terratrema]

@champman67

Nah, I don't think that if I answer your message I will "appear as a tool." It's just the normal thing to do.

The funny thing is, and you should really have noticed this, is that one or two people have replied to say they actually agree with me, so my opinion does matter to some, eh.

One or two people (myself included) will read your message and think that you are a whining crybaby and sobbing bedwetter.

Dry yourself off.

[champman67]

@terratrema I said don't waste your brain cells trying to answer, You seem to have missed that, and run all the sentences together... Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, I said, that You have come back before and read comments before, seeing that someone said something, with no direct mention of your username, and you responded, as if looking for someone to argue with. I don't find it funny. Even, if people did answer supporting you, more have answered with opposite.

[terratrema]

@champman67

If I want to answer you, then I'll answer you. I don't need your permission. And writing that 500-character message didn't use up too many of my brain cells.

As for the other thing, SOME people did respond to me directly; I got an email to tell me, so I came back here to read them, and found that one which wasn't directed at me by name, but was clearly meant for me, and also the guy who wrote it called me a "retard," so I felt I was justified in replying to him as well. Real nice.

[champman67]

@terratrema Clearly you don't. Since I never gave you it anyway. You read others still looking, Either way, Look, I don't usually troll people. Until someone really bothers me, If you don't like it, It's alright, we don't care, Im not trying to push my Musical Preference on you, I didn't even expect, or care if you answered. I get bothered when people disrespect some other peoples talents. Just like you may feel bothered if someone denounced your talents, writing being one of them.

[antisadism]

@terratrema It seems like just because you personally dont like Franz, they are automatically bad in a universal sense. Well the near perfect scores on their first two albums beg to differ. Just because I dont like a band, I dont automatically assume that they are bad when it comes to a universal perspective, because there are people who like them, their success is perfectly justified, your opinion is not the only one that matters. We all have different tastes. Its ok if you dont like them.

[terratrema]

@antisadism

I assume by 'universally bad,' you mean bad in an objective sense, rather than subjective.

Look, of course this is all subjective. The only reason I get so fired up with Franz Ferdinand is because, for a period anyway, they were touted as the greatest thing in British music when it seemed to me they were far from it. But still, I had to hear them every f*cking place I went. So I've been carrying a chip on my shoulder for some time that occasionally manifests itself as online mockery.

[cheesylovesong23]

@terratrema You do know that Franz Ferdinand is NOT a British band, right? They're from Glasgow--Scotland..

[terratrema]

@cheesylovesong23

You're only half right.

Yes, they are from Glasgow, Scotland (as am I, incidentally). But last time I checked, Scotland was part of Britain, or the United Kingdom if you prefer. That may change in the next few years, with the current Scottish government pushing for independence for some reason, but currently Franz Ferdinand are Scottish and also British.

If I'd said they were an English band, or Welsh or Irish, then you'd be right to correct me. However, well, you know...

[ulebule]

@cheesylovesong23

OMFG! what a complete IDI0T!!!

[jamescooling]

@cheesylovesong23 lol you owned yourself

[Chaoz070]

@cheesylovesong23 hahaha u fuckin moron hah

[monkeysandhamsters]

@cheesylovesong23 lmao.... very smart you :)

[p4cm4n182]

the chorus's abit off, but theyre sexy as fuck playing this song so ill let it slide

[stoberto06]

@jayparmarvideos enjoy listening to shit music just cause it sounds 'different' to chart music you bellend. @ashenghoul is spot on

[Ashenghoul]

oh how i hate these perverted indie-crap-bands...so shallow, pseudo-intellectual, so wannabe-rebel...it makes me wanna puke.

these oh-so-alternative-yet-trendy-m­ainstream-whores. stupid whiny self-righteous student-music. hate its narcissistic attitude. all this 'oh-i'm-a-student-and-listen-t­o-indie-and-must-go-to-partys-­and-become-political-and-incid­entally-try-out-homosexuality-­SHIT!!!

[helptheunderdog]

@Ashenghoul wow man i'm sorry the arcade fire and franz ferdinand made you gay. I'm a shallow student and for all my pseudo-intellectualism I know that any way you put its just music. enjoy the massive cock in your mouth you dumb fuck.

[BlackGrrrl]

way better than the original one!

[clzm90]

million times better without a doubt

[Heidimetal]

AWSOME!!

[mcnamai2]

very bad

[bijou29]

definitly better

[Veertjee00]

They make from a britney spears song a typical franz ferdinad song. Love it (L)

[LilSantos89]

Nice! but i like the All american rejects one more

[shenellrox]

@LilSantos89 yeah me as well

[GnarButter90]

This version sucks and i like some Franz Ferdinand.

[ImagineLetters]

i actually like britney, and probably because franz is my favourite band... i think this one is 1000000 times better

[The80Girl]

precisely ,britney has paid 268 lesbians to dislike the video

awesomely brilliant cover !

[MrTetastetas]

This is not so good indeed.

[samvarnham]

youre all tripppping ! this is just noise !

[sonicspeedx]

@samvarnham sorry if 4 instruments are too much for you to comprehend

[samvarnham]

@sonicspeedx lol sorry i've upset you.

[IamSakuraHearMeRoar]

Franz Ferdinand FTW

[Crowley217]

people should really stop comparing "who's version is better" and "it sucks, the original is better." the point of a cover is to take a song that already exists and make it your own, not copy the original. i think this is pretty damn good considering its a fucking indie/post-punk band doing a cover of a pop song

[xPeanutbutterxJellyx]

prefer britneys version tbh

[Budzigniew111]

God i want him in my bed with this sexy voice :)

[nge1301]

@terratrema i really hope that was a joke. I REALLY hope. you actually said that you were TIRED OF LISTENING TO FRANZ FERDINAND EVERYWHERE?!!???! WHAT ABOUT BRITNEY FUCKIN SPEARS?!?!??1! every time I turn on the radio, there she is. and what are you, fucking miss-pop to go bitchin around about aids and cancer? next time, comment something like that on one of britney's video

[maoeffect]

Oh. Sexy, sexy, sexy.

[CerditoCid]

Suena severo, buen cover :)

[sarah76883]

J'aime bien. Ca a du charme.

[Shmoofles]

his voice is so ridiculously sexy.

[MiekeTheFreddie]

@Shmoofles ooh yaah, but not only his voice ;D haha, love that guy, love that style, LOVE that music, love that band!

[ainhoa071]

The best¡¡¡:)

[MauAlexander2]

I love Brit Brit, but I prefer this version (Please Brit, don't kill me!)

[mpotsaris88]

2:43 and on... just perfect

[stoberto06]

263 dislikes this as it sounds like a new bands first jam session

[JayParmarVideos]

@stoberto06 Looks like you hold the minority vote on this one. Fuck right off.

[arasdo]

kinda sounds like Goldfrapp. Sounds better than the original.

[terratrema]

If there's one thing that I hate more than cancer and AIDS combined, it's Franz Ferdinand. They are the musical equivalent of stubbing your toe with every single step.

I hated them back in 2003 when I constantly had to listen to Take Me Out and Matinee at bars, clubs, work, parties, friendly gatherings and my nightmares.

But people told me I was crazy.

Now Franz have covered a Britney song, and it's actually WORSE than the original!

Can I get a hell yeah? Franz Ferdinand are walking sphincters.

[wilfrules4ever]

@terratrema Go away.

[terratrema]

@wilfrules4ever

I was already gone.

[myhairitches]

@terratrema You are Hanna Montana :)

[aaronfuegopop]

this is shit

[BiosR1]

does anyone has tabs for this? XD

[Mentzonidinski]

britney spears's version isn't good and neither is this version

[NerdUnknown]

@Mentzonidinski So you decided to watch a video for a cover of a song you don't like? For what? Just to troll? lol...other than that thought through complaint, i want to say great song by the best band EVER! :D

[Mentzonidinski]

@NerdUnknown no I wasn't trolling, i was just watching covers by famous band and i found this..

[aeioupor2]

Greeeat !

[BuFabulous]

I hear this version when I go to poop.

Suck without Britney

[neonnitez]

I've been watching a few of these BBC Live Lounge cover songs by different bands, and I look in the comments section, and everyone is arguing about who did the song better. Seriously, since when is the motive of a cover to try and make the artist's song better? I'm not a fan of Britney Spears but i'm not going to argue that Franz Ferdinand made the song way better. It's a different style of music and people have to realize that. Sheesh.

[who8mytacos]

steve marino is a complete and utter faggot

[ck4no0hks]

Its gay but cool!

[visionfirst1970]

anyone besides me not find it abit strange that a "real: band would dupe a Titknee Speers factory/disney test-tube baby behind the studios produxct song?

[junomistic]

cool!!

[3strikeconv0ke]

I think that Franz Ferdinand fix this song... hahaha!

[missemzi88]

This sounds pretty bad, just because we're used to britneys version. Just cause I don't like this, doesnt mean i dont like franz ferdinand! I LOVEEEE FF!!!!!

[missemzi88]

This sounds pretty bad, just because we're used to britneys version. Just cause I don't like this, doesnt mean i dont like franz ferdinand! I LOVEEEE FF!!!!!

[petephi]

the rods of love cover of this is awesome

[kristyred981]

so much better than the original... <3 FF

[deisels]

It is a greater testament to your artistry to be covered, than to cover. Way to go Britney! Franz sounds fabulous as always.

[tencha1928]

good, but what is this ... xD ? U_U please not :S

[FerrRemy]

This is boring

[Blurry2k]

Sounds pretty bad, how can you seriously prefer this over the original?

[CarbonBlonde]

mess 

[RicochetManchester]

Sometimes the gender of the singer changes the meaning of the song completely. I think this is one of those cases...

[newallst]

Just a fuck about in the studio.. gold thou!

[scaluzzi]

suka Britney!

[Devotchka24]

I love franz ferdinand with all my heart, I saw them live and they rocked my sucks off but..BUT... I can't believe this but the all american rejects cover of this song is way better.

[Altolover1231]

Terrible singer.

[4ndreaCZ]

@Altolover1231 terrible quality of the record.... but certainly not terrible singer - Alex is great singer, go and try some of the Franz Ferdinand´s songs

[Altolover1231]

Nah i'm good. Dnt like his voice.@4ndreaCZ

[00erick00thenoob]

i guess this proves that the problem with these disgustingly over-produced pop songs isn't the composing. lack of talent? over edited and over polishing? or is that you just need real instruments, not some computer generated BS?

[Dardeka]

WTF como puede hacer esto u.u

[rociodifunta]

Que diablos les dio a las bandas de rock con hacer covers de Britney, habiendo tanta cantante pop mejor que esa?! ¬¬'

De todas formas, sigo amando a Franz Ferdinand! ♥

[merkenconajo]

@rociodifunta no se, yo creo q no hay de desmerecer la calidqad de la cancion independiente de quien sea...si esta hubiera sido una cancion original de franz ferdinand igual todos amarian la cancion,,,tiene mucha onda.

[bEeaTjacQie]

why did they do the cover to womanizer!!??

[FlCl3000]

@bEeaTjacQie why not?

[GlissandoMaren]

wow, it's magic. never thought such a lame song could be turned into something quite like this

[zborg75]

Ez qrva jó. WTF britney?:)

[AvrilLavingeBigFan]

Wow nice jobs guys =) love the singers accent keep it up =)

[MyNameIsGirlyCrazy]

whoa the guitar solo is great O.O' they're soooo good! Much Much Much Much Better than britney's

[FlCl3000]

ive never liked this song till now

[huhu300]

the song of the year

[questcecestlepoint]

I love franz ferdinand, but... hmmmm. i don't reckon it suits them IMHO. Good effort tho.

[Phalasar]

Britney Spears' music sounds definitly better without Britney Spears.

[JohnathanCepeda]

@Phalasar Lies, I'm not a fan BUT every original singer always left a mark & no one does it better then the original singer. & this S U C K S!!! This version does.

[lacuentadeldaniel]

227 britney's fan think that this version is better than the original, so they are disgusted and they push the "don't like".

[GenoClown]

@lacuentadeldaniel But only 1 attention whore makes a lousy comment; An attempt to make it to the Highest Rated Comments.

[huhu300]

@lacuentadeldaniel people have different opinions, just it
