  • Guys, Jack wrote this song for an album, but then The Curious George film makers asked him to change the lyrics into he upside don lyrics

  • this is just a bad upside down

  • Pensei que fosse "Upside down"

  • wtf do you think burn one down is about dumbass?

  • if you dont use it doesnt matter

  • i could care less if someone smokes weed, but to put a pot leaf in a jack johnson song is very disrespectful. jack has NEVER mentioned smoking in any song and as far as anybody knows he doesn't. am i saying i hate anybody who smoke weed no. i could care less. but having this up is like putting a pro-choice (abortion) picture up on a song of his

  • I'm pretty sure this song developed from the same musical idea as upside down. I think thats just the way Jack writes his songs. He's got that idea and then it kind of develops, and sometimes it develops in two different directions. I also heard different versions of If I had Eyes and Same Girl.

    Also, I remember an interview in which he was asked if he smoked pot and he answered sth. like "The weed doesn't really matter". I think that's all there is to say about that issue.

  • im 100% he doesnt do weed but but people can think what they want.

  • good song

  • How about we all just sit around the fire and shut the hell up... :D.... Love yah Jack

  • i strongly doubt that jack smokes bud, he's a family man to the very end and i dont know if he would feel good bringing illegal things around his family

  • why do we all automatically assume that because he is kind of part of the pot smoking culture and his influences did use pot that he automatically has to follow in their footsteps in every way possible? i don't care if he smokes or not, and we can form our own opinions, but going around saying "jack smokes the ganj, guaranteed" based on a couple of very skewed references from his songs that could relate to hundreds of different things is just ignorant.

  • @doggie9807 i completely agree with you man. just because his influences involved weed doesn't mean he does too, and if he does than that's cool too it's his decision and no one elses business. i smoke weed and the last thing i want is someone telling the whole world i do it. i'm here for the music and the good vibes that come with it, not the inside scoop on jack's personal life

  • yeeeeeeeah I don't really support the smoking, honestly, but it's not my life so whatever. He's still an awesome singer.

  • @benzatiable fuck yeah

  • he is my idiol i wanna play like him one day

  • @benzatiable, yes of course but Jack did a cover of it, you are getting technical but nice catch, but i did know that, just don't know why it din't come to mind

  • smoke sum.

  • @benzatiable, Im not a big fan of itunes but i'll check it out on youtube.. To be honest I kind f take it back, I remember badfish which incorporates some reggae vibes

  • a perfect song, good lyrics, solo, and melody

  • @benzatiable I can tell from what he wears when he's on a concert, I don't hear very few or none resemblance to Bob, or anything close to Caribbean

  • Why is that people always relate mellow music and musician to weed? Im not against grass or anything, but music from artists like Johnson and Marley, aren't always influenced by weed. It comes from the heart and soul. It seems like some of you are too blind to realize that just because the artist has a history of burning bud, doesn't necessarily mean their lives and music revolve around it.

  • @benzatiable who isn't inspired by bob ?!!

  • what a strange background of the video!

  • @benzatiable Hahaha nice! His music is coooooo . . . .

  • I'm a big smoker and it really doesn't matter wether a singer smokes or not, you don't listen to his music because he smokes but just because you like it!! Why you like it, is your call!!

  • it SOUNDS likeUPSIDE DOWN because it is an earlier version of upside down. He wrote a new version for curious george

  • @benzatiable PUFFIN THA ERB ;)

  • @CharleeMann PUFFIN THA ERB !

  • Why are people pretending like they know whether or not jack smokes. Come one. It doesn't matter. Just let his angelic voice flow into your ears!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @nerrawasset Lol. exactly.. who cares if he smokes. i smoke and this shit sounds good(:

  • @nerrawasset yeah it doesn't matter it's still great smokin music BUT on the other hand if he doesn't smoke he's on something cuz it's just too chill of a sound for him not to be on some type of something !!!!!!!! let's just all agree it's mary jane :^)

  • mmm drugs are bad!! smoke a bong biaatch

  • @benzatiable Jack doesn't smoke weed. He has before but eventually stopped. I was a big time smoker, nothing against it. But i abused it and it kept me stationary going nowhere in life. Saying this b/c the younger generations don't need to see post like this and then start smoking a bunch of pot because of someone claiming Jack smokes weed. Jack is for caring about the world, not for smoking a bunch of pot wasting your life away.

  • 35 are somking crack or some strong shit

  • Smoking is not cool. 

  • @zumk9807 hating isn't cool

  • Comment removed

  • If you've never smoked weed, you're missing out on life. Literally.

  • Also, it seems as if that's the logo of the head shop they're advertising...

    Which would explain.

    It's target advertising basically. You could probably see similar ones for Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix, Thievery Corporation or even Interpol.

    Relaxing stuff is relaxing when you're trying to relax ya know?

  • Well I don't need any ganja to get chilled with dis kinda beautiful chilling music and honestly I do not think Jack needs ganja at all to make his music, its just his own chilled style. But after all, everyone should be happy while listening to his songs, with or without weed, hey, who cares? :)

  • I am realy sad to see that there are people who associate Jack Johnson with Weed.

    If you realy like the music of Jack Johnson you wouldn´t associate him with something like that.

  • @xXWiceXx

    I don't smoke personally...

    And it doesn't matter if Jack does or not...

    The music isn't about keeping to the rules...

    Its about playing life in the name of love!!

    So chill Young soul!!

    I've never seen jack say anything against weed...

    If he really was against it we would all know by now...

    He would have told us...

    Love is the message... So Get to it!!

  • @xXWiceXx

    Why not? His music is chill, weed is all about chilling?

    Anyway, people can associate music with whatever they want to, who are you to say that people shouldn't associate it with weed.

  • @xXWiceXx Let's pick apart that argument. IF we like Jack johnson, we WONT associate with weed... You have to understand that from a logical point, the predicate and conclusion have nothing to do with each other. Philosopwned.

  • oh ok someone already post that

  • at the beginning the song sounds like upside down

  • why is there a weed leaf?

    not necessarily against it, just curious.

  • @ExOhEmily13 I think it's just because of the style of music. It's just really chill. But, I could be wrong ;P haha

  • in the beginning it kinda sounds like upside down

  • @jroiz4 cause its the same chords, bruh.

  • @jroiz4 He based upside down off the melody of this song :)

  • Comment removed

  • @jroiz4 It is Upside down, just a different version. He wrote different lyrics for Curious George, AKA Upside down. I believe he wrote Walk alone first

  • @SSponyboy

    correct

  • @jroiz4 It's the same chord pattern.

    

  • @jroiz4 kinda?^^

    

  • @jroiz4

    At the end he says "Gotta funk that one up"

    I think they used to same pattern for "Upside Down". Like he redid the song. Only my opinion though. Both are brilliant songs!

  • @jroiz4 I think they use the same chords..

  • @jroiz4 its the same chords its just different lyrics

  • @jroiz4 It sounds exactly like it....

    

  • I have this exact version, downloaded from a torrent site, it was included on an album called (acoustic set) Not sure where else you could find it though

  • Jack Johnson you will never walk alone:D

  • this picture is sooo misleading

  • man i got sent to boarding school cause weed has been a gateway to bad things for me. made me realize that life is too precious to waste. i only smoke weed when i need it medically or if im stressed now

  • this is for the top comments!aha about the 33 dislikes those ppl most of thought the button sed DIS-I-LIKE!!!lol you aint gotta GIMME nothin niether i get thumbs up wer ever i go as is

  • ppl that call people "fags" on youtube are in fact themselves "fags". Be mature friend.

  • I hate how people think these days. It just amazes me. I'm 13, and everyday I find more stupidity and unreasonableness in people. Sometimes it's entire communities, people in power, or just ordinary people. Doing things that make no sense, saying and hating things for no reason what-so-ever. This is why I listen to Jack. And I'm perfectly fine with him smoking. It's a way to get away from this world and it's inspiration. What's wrong with weed? Just answer that for me, please.

  • Nobody cares if you smoke weed or not. If you do, that's great for you, quit making a public announcement about it. If you don't , stop hating on people who do.

  • Who cares if Jack smokes weed, a lot of people do/did. Including Aldous Huxley, Bruce Lee, Bill Gates and Conan O'Brien

  • @kiadude1 seriously, the smoking communtiy ...LOL. and stop trying to be a hero.

  • @mike55383 LOL. Stop trying to be a fag. You're too good at it.

  • @Borohockey28 hahaha your just upset because you wrote a ridiculus embarrassing paragraph. but its ok man you could call me a fag if that makes you feel better:)

  • @mike55383 I didn't write shit. But ya, calling you a fag does make me feel better :).

  • you got to be a big loser to go around disliking stuff

  • Just listen to the music, my brothers and sisters. Let the fighting die and the peace consume us all. Lets love one another, and respect eacothers opinions.

  • naw, everybody likes Jack Johnson. Ergo, all people who like weed like Jack Johnson. Because most of those who smoke weed fall under the people category. Mostly...

  • i think i know why people can dislike this, its because they have to hit the replay button over and over again.

  • 33 people listened to this song muted

  • awesome

  • Man i smoke weed because i enjoy it, it keeps me fucking sane! and there is NO better way to meet people and bond then smoking. its such a social thing. i don't do it because i think its cool. i do it because, well, i like it. its okay if some of you don't but just don't judge us who do.

  • @alwayswipe Yes, yes they do or else i would not be in.

  • This sounds too much like Upside-Down

  • Weed...is good!

  • viva la marijuana!!!!!!

  • @alwayswipe Ok, a majority of people disagree with it because it's alien to them is better wording :P

    And wow dude, smoking weed at 13 can really mess you up in later life, not a clever thing to do

  • @kiadude1 stfu faggot, if smoking weed really fucks you up at 13, i wouldn't be where im at today, dumb fuck

  • @LuckyGrams Youtube comments: The asshole of the internet

  • This is great! 

  • ta wena la musica gran cantante jack .........

  • hahahha porque hay una plata de marihuana LOL

  • You lot that are arguing sound pathetic, you do relise that right? Let the guy live his life how he wants to. You only get to live once,

  • sweeeeet!

    

  • this is upside down with different lyrics :S

  • @demon4411 its not upside down then is it cunt

  • @demon4411

    Sooo true. Thats cheating....

  • @TheCapitalLetter Meh, he was probably just too busy being a fucking legend :L

  • this argument is pointless. live your own lives your own way and listen to good music :)

  • @CxStatic I'm aware that smoking pot is not mature, the point i'm making is that the people who don't are being immature in this argument. Try to stay with me here. What do you think Jack means in the song "Symbol in My Driveway" when he says, "Got my plans in a Zip-Lock bag, let's see how unproductive we can be"? I would say an obvious reference to pot. Sorry, but i would say yeah, he smokes pot just like a lot of awesome musicians.

  • @inkyproductions Nailed it. Jack smokes pot. And there isn't a damned thing wrong with that.

  • Jack Johnson hasn't even adressed pot in any of his interviews. I used to smoke a lot of weed and Jack's music is incredible on sum good bud. Stop arguing if you dont smoke weed thats chill and if you do thats chill, lets all just calm down and listen to his music (and smoke a spliff)

  • The Pot leaf is on here because a lot of people who like Jack Johnson's music, also like to smoke weed.....just like Jack Johnson. He's from Hawaii, he's a surfer, and plays folk music.....put it together, he definitely smokes weed. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that. Grow up and deal with the fact that people smoke weed. Pretty pathetic that the pot smokers are the mature ones in this argument.

  • @MrSquirky

    i dont think so

  • @MrSquirky Just because he's from Hawaii and he's a surfer and he plays folk music does it mean he smokes weed... it actually isn't very mature to follow stereotypes. 

  • @MrSquirky yes, smoking pot is just so mature

  • thats not walk alone. I think this song dont even have a name, I call it the upside down early acoustics.:D

  • Jack Johnson... I. Love. You.

  • <3 i love jack johnson songs because every lyric creates vivid images in my head:) dudeman, stop arguing about weed:) its a lifestyle choice, so please dont hate. I've only smoked once, but in my opinion, it should be legalized:)

  • @kleytop do your research

    

  • whys there a tobacco leaf on the vid?

  • @kletyop rofl

  • @ipathbomb92 ha cheeba cheeba. smoke it bitch.

  • @kletyop .... bahahaha i'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and say you were kidding.

  • Legalize weed! vote for Ron Paul in 2012!

  • @damitdan1 92%

  • @damitdan1 he dosent smoke??? i hope he does

  • this is almost exactly the same as upside down

  • @JAZwillyburg wow you're right.. i agree a lot of his songs sound alike, but i especially like some of his songs with a more deeper meaning, like the songs on On And On (cookie jar, gone, taylor, dreams be dreams)

  • @bananatree1234567 I agree with you

  • People don't like it because it's alien to them.. They just need to realise that the smoking community support Jack Johnson ALOT. At the end of the day, it's all about music.. So what if people here are against weed, we all like Jack's music, can't we quit arguing and appreciate that? :)

  • What album is this off of :S

  • Seriously the arguments about weed in these comments made me laugh. Some people are so ignorant. :)

    Stop all the hating- with how worked up some of you got you NEED to smoke a bowl right now.

  • @0Sheet0 AAAAAAHHHHHHH LMAO lol Thats so true!!!!!! you tell it!!!!!

  • whats weed have to do with jack johnson?

  • @cowboyfan1000 they both make people happy:)

  • @cowboyfan1000 everrything

  • is upside down! D:

  • As good as the song sounds

    The solo is horrible and JJ is my second favorite artist

  • @Grrreg23 who is your first favorite??

  • Jack Johnson is just the chill period. No one cared about Curt Cobain taken Stuff...

    But geuss what S*** happens. They are both still legendary. With or without, and thats what matters ^^

  • i'm gonna clear this up. Jack Johnson does smoke but not a lot. He takes a few hits from a pipe before his shows because he gets nervous....remember he wasn't always wanting to be a musician.

  • yup if he woulnt of crashed maybe we would have a jack johnsom in the asp

  • Comment removed

  • This song wasn't release until after upside down, but he wrote this one first... and just used the base for upside down.

  • i think all of you forget that these are comments on a jack johnson song.... stop swearing at eachother man, just turn it up and relax in whatever manner you like.. whether it be lighting a joint, drinkin a beer or just plain old r&r.

  • @damitdan1 sadly yes...

  • this song sounds alot like upside down...

  • @Jonesie501 upside down sounds a lot like this...

  • @ThePannydancoast I just said it like that cuz I dont know what one came out first and I heard upside down before this.

  • @Jonesie501 seriously... i was like, am i listening to upside down? lol

  • I think when it comes to Jack Johnson's videos/music, the Dislike button should be disabled. Gimme some thumbs up if you agree.

  • @JIBTER a little to much like upside down

  • wtf?! why is there a pot leaf on a jack johnson video?! he doesnt smoke weed so quit being gay!

  • @bgebiatch69 he does too, moderately

  • @bgebiatch69:

    Actually Dude,,,, wen Jack was younger he did a few times with some of his friends ... and i gotta admit it sucks that people do smoke it, but then again ... i guess it's there choice

    aloha

  • souds like upside down

  • O never mind I thought u said Jack is a fag srry my bad

  • Mazterofremix tell me what u look like cause im Gona beat u up cause u said Jack johnson is a fag he is not he makes the best music of the past now and for years to come J.J DA BEST

  • @wishdogproductions

    Whether he's gay or not changes nothing from the fact that he's gotta' be the chillest guy on Earth lol

  • @DrunkenLeprechaunPro he has a wife

  • @bgebiatch69

    Ok. I'm just saying, it doesn't matter anyways lol

  • @bgebiatch69 and dont forget his 3 kids...

  • a lot of weed smoking people :D but its illigale in your country's right?:P

  • @tomvannispen ilegal to man, legal to god and nature

  • This looks a lot like upside down!! ( It's adorable too!) I love you Jack Johnsooon

  • yall are gettin worked up over nothin. i listened to jack johnson before i started smoking weed and it still sounds amazing. so just forget it and chill out a bit. lol

  • I cant believe all of you dumb pricks are saying things about that weed leaf you are probably little children illuminated get yourselfs sorted out, and you know the best of it ? I bet my life that every person who has said that weed leaf is bad has never tryed or even seen weed yet so many of you say that it is wrong and bad for you until you have experienced it you have no fucking right whatsoever to comment on it so fuckoff.

  • @TooHighHD tell it brother

  • i can understand why people don't like the leaf up there. it's like associating bob marley with weed or red green and yellow. he's much more than the 20th of april, 3 colors, or a pot leaf. he promoted non-violence, peace, and Rastafarian beliefs through his music. i think if we put the leaf on here, it's doing the same thing and labeling Jack Johnsons music. what a shame...

  • Comment removed

  • why does weed matter bearly a drug....pop to many asprin and it will be your last headache tho chill peeps

  • @damitdan1 you shouldnt associate music with drugs because sure some of his fans listen to it but not all of them and by associating his music with drugs all the people who dont know his fans will think they all smoke weed

  • his music's so clean,and putting that picture up makes it dirty D:

  • Picture ruins his style...

  • @0hurley I sounded mad because you claimed he smoked weed.. You dont even know him, you came up with that statement just like the media would do...
