Joe Cocker - With a little help from my friends

[14oscaru]

fred savage is the best actor ever on family guy

[sikokiller12]

I watched the whole series of the Wonder Years 3 times.. i have the complete series on my pc.. i want the complete collection on dvd. but my god its hard to find. it has to be the rarest tv show ever.

[jcolexxxxx]

best concert ive ever been to..joe cocker on the pier nyc

[jaja6]

I actually first heard this on a doc about Woodstock and he was singing this =)

[wenban1989]

@cdawg1302 saying any cover of a beatles tune is better than the original makes you look like a knob (in my opinion), decent cover though

[lopezar85]

I love this song! Makes me think of The Wonder Years

[dustin10101]

I feel like this version sounds way better musically speaking.

I do however feel like the beatles one sounds much more inspiring and authentic. With that said, I'm back off to the beatle's version. :)

[cdawg1302]

I came here looking for awsome rock and roll...and I'd pick this version over the beatles version any day

[caseypioli]

@cdawg1302 then i truly feel sorry for you

[paulswabek]

@cdawg1302 i have to agree with u here

[Jason198261]

This is the SHIT!

[haynamarshall]

Jimmy Page on guitar <3

[franknero14]

well what can i say? i kept reading the comments and all i saw were discussions between some saying that this version was better than the beatles' version is better and vice versa. who cares? personally i don't like this version and i'm a huge beatles fan, but i'm not gonna talk trash about it, since i know this cover was very succesfull and to some people this song is awesome, so i respect it. but please, don't talk trash about the beatles saying they're overrated, 'cause theyre actually good.

[KiyaKnockout]

I win bros, I actually know Joe Cocker. I kick it at his ranch in Colorado during the summer.

[iamthecarver]

@KiyaKnockout  no you dont, who you gonna believe youtubers? me or this guy? BOOM

[KiyaKnockout]

@iamthecarver I do though. :) He lives in Crawford Colorado and owns a resturant called there called the Mad dog.

[Ant1Live]

@KiyaKnockout No, I win. He and I were once a part of the same circle jerk, and he was the one to my right.

[KiyaKnockout]

@Ant1Live Maybe if he was gay I'd believe it. But he kissed my grandma on New years.

[Ant1Live]

@KiyaKnockout Circle-jerking is not gay. It is a bonding experience.

[KiyaKnockout]

@Ant1Live Lmfao, oh is it now? 

[HumpyMcFlubens]

28 people didn't get help from friends

[duckflorist]

How about ringo is awesome but Joe just put stank on it

[ElPibeDeArgentina100]

I came here from the Simpsons.

[MrCarflipper]

The Beatles might have first sang it, but Joe Cocker pefected it. I dare say it is like the automobile. Henry Ford might have started the assembly line, but Joe Cocker made this song into a Toyota!

[teppasimabuona]

@MrCarflipper I don't want the Toyota, i prefer the simple Ford...

[aweomae]

@MrCarflipper That was a lame analogy, Ford is obviously better than Toyota while Joe Cocker's version was superior to the Beatles version. You sir, Fail.

[iamBIGBROOX]

@MrCarflipper I really hope you were joking with that terrible analogy

[MyKleinkind]

iets om dagelijks naar te luisteren.

[420techdeckpro]

@MyKleinkind I'm gonna flyyyyyyyy with a little help from my friends! haha, had ik ooit lang gelede is gehoord, is inderdaad een goed liedje om elke dag te beluistere :D

[rockp223]

Great Song! I hear the song in Ocala, FL 10:35 PM on WindFM 92.5

[Slazfreska]

27 dislikes getttt fucked losers

[Slazfreska]

Classssssic

[spoiledbrowneyes]

I love the Beatles, always, but this is how this song was meant to be played/sung. My daddy is shaking his had at me from heaven for saying that, but that's ok!

[nippegmt]

HB Jimmy Page who plays guitars on this recording :)

[ironcladvessel77]

We all need good friends don't we...so let's be good friends and give a little consideration for those less fortunate or in need, peace out!

[ramonalejandrosuare]

Actually better than the Beatles original? Maybe...

[jaydraps]

@ramonalejandrosuare could well be

[mccallrobbie1]

not that bad.....love this guy, some say i have the same stile.......hmmmmmmm

[Ramtinch]

good cover, but i like the original better.

[masanf]

This is one of the only remakes in history that is better than the original.

[iseeredpeoples]

@masanf nothing compares 2 u sinead o'connor ?? jimi hendrix all along the watchtower or Hey Joe ? or hurt by johnny cash

[TheNiaJane]

@iseeredpeoples ..Whitney Houston I will always love you, Ike and Tina Proud Mary? There have been many remakes that outshined the originals..

[catwhoisfat]

@masanf All along the watchtower???, knocking on heavens door???, hurt???, hallelujah, twist and shout???, feeling good???, idiot!!!

[ZosoGravity]

@masanf One of the only? There's too many covers that are better than the originals to name! Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, Knocking on Heaven's Door, Crossroads, The Man Who Sold the World etc etc ...

[89smoochie89]

WINNIE hahahahaha aawn paul's glasses :(

[mrantihater]

All u people need to get along and get high with your friends instead of bitching about who did what. Grow up.

[mccallrobbie1]

@mrantihater u know it !

[Emmamoo]

Ahhh nostalgia....the wonder years. Fred Savage.

[haesaertsdanny]

This how a cover should sound, the best ever, 10X better than the original Beatles version.

[msraymond]

best rendition of this song ever!

[Tarcotti]

WONDER YEARS BITCHES!!!!!

[ebbowman]

I watch reruns of The Wonder Years just to hear this song. :)

[Ant1Live]

@ebbowman You watch the whole episode just to hear the intro which only has an abridged version of this song??? (:-s)

[MrDefleppard123]

This is the song The Beatles wrote...it took Joe Cocker to do it properly!

[wristofkings]

Fuck dates.

The Beatles covered it. Joe recorded the real version. Magnificent.

[jaysfca]

@wristofkings Well said. Jimmy Page played the superb guitar on this magnificent version.

[msraymond]

@wristofkings i think it's the other way around

[thundersnake1]

@wristofkings

Actually Paul McCartney wrote this song.

[0riginalHipster]

@thundersnake1 you're an idiot, he knows the beatles wrote it, but what he's saying is Joe Cockers version is so much better he considers it the original.

[thundersnake1]

@0riginalHipster

I wasn't speaking with you hipster.

[ernesto2921]

It's great, but I feel like it's a mix between the original song and "dig a pony"

[TheFoolWillRelate]

@ernesto2921 Hahahaha, Yes it does sound like a mix between the original and "Dig a Pony!" I was always thinking the same thing. I do love both versions of the song still.

[birdynumnumski]

better than the original (along with Dear Prudence - Siouxsie and the Banshees)

[marija1971]

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh...... love the man!

[nikky98]

Update...23 people don't have friends. So sad...

[marija1971]

@nikky98 lol

[foxy311]

Wonder Years.... Not Doogie Howser. Come on now.

[deerdestroyer2009]

I might be 21 but I've been looking for this song for 5 years.

[SucuboSadica]

@deerdestroyer2009 I might be 20 but I've been looking for this song all night long... :p

[deerdestroyer2009]

@SucuboSadica I win

[maichka15]

[CorazonAzul]

[desjardfan]

It's amazing what Jimmy Page can do to a Beatles song.

[SiriuslyRedCloud]

Oh,yes. All you need when you have a problem is a little help from your friends... :)

[gyodai]

There is no way to dislike this song. Damn trolls.

[luccaseixasoliveira]

Much better than the Beatles song.

[snoopatomicdog]

I want to put a bullet in the head of everyone who writes "The Wonder Years..." expecting top get thumbs up! AGH! Kill 'em all!

[pablodektown]

@snoopatomicdog u mad bro?

[DylanDoubleYou]

@snoopatomicdog You are literally trying to get top comment by saying that...

[KidA914]

@snoopatomicdog I know right? it reminds me of the wonder years too!

[donnelbc]

I've heard this song is one of the few Beatles Covers that the members of the Beatles actually enjoyed and respected.

[KentonHaskell]

y cant we have music like this...im 25 and this is still one of the most soul searchn songz to date.

[KentonHaskell]

the Wonder Years...

[elbonja]

What would you do if y thumb this song down? Would you stand and accuse me? Well, I wont, cause this song is great!!!!

[mfavela08]

The Wonder Years <3

[westside159]

IM A WHITE BI GUY WITH AIDS

[fatherjon908]

The wonder years..

[snoopatomicdog]

@fatherjon908 Trying for the top comment?

[ZackMyslinski]

I'm in that great part of YouTube again...

[TheOvershottoaster]

Almost certainly in my top 5 favorite songs of all time.............. and its a remake. Amazing song.

[Staveish]

@TheOvershottoaster Here is the best version if you want to go back to the era youtube.com/watch?v=RavIqRBe_L­0

[flannelinsummer]

The version on netflix is a cover of this version. It's very obvious from listening that it's not the same.

[TheLanaRamone]

Why does this have a dislike button? Seriously.

[thesportsdude90]

this doesnt have the simple go happy alure of ringo and the gang. the production on sgt peppers is also comically good.

[popwarskatemore7]

cried watching wonder years last night on netflix. I can't explain the memories

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

@popwarskatemore7 It's not on netflix,because it was never released in DVD collection.

[popwarskatemore7]

@mustangsdiehard1fan

yes it is on netflix

[mustangsdiehard1fan]

@popwarskatemore7 No way jose it'll never be on there!

[Beartallica86]

Wonder Years!

[nicholasjohnparry]

best version

[sensationaldenny]

Jimmy Page!

[chilliwhiggerE]

Jimmy Page wail'n away ryte thurr!

[ubertarded714]

I think this is a great song. Cover or not and I'm 27 and remember The Wonder Years quite well. A great show that I miss very much...

[neogeon]

@ubertarded714 Guess what? It's on Netflix instant streaming! BYYYAAAAHHH!!!

Still a very great show, but I feel like it's sped up 5% or so on Netflix, perhaps from an analog to digital conversion discrepancy.

[ubertarded714]

I think this is a great song. Cover or not.

[jerrynuevo]

20 people can't get by with a little help....becuz they have no friends. smh.

[jerrynuevo]

20 peoples can't get by with a little help....becuz they have no friends. smh.

[isciol]

Redoing an already great masterpiece is like if someone tried to redo Stairway to Heaven or Freebird. You just don't. Also I'm not hating on this guy, I think he's great. But the Beatles Songs should stay as Beatles songs.

[GregoryJohnsonJr]

@isciol then dont listen to it

[isciol]

@GregoryJohnsonJr I listened to it because I was curious and it was a link from the original. Just curious :)

[Harris91]

@isciol You must be 12. Ever hear of a little show called Wonder Years? Didn't think so.

[RachelShmee]

@Harris91 I'm 15 and I love that show :)

[Harris91]

@RachelShmee Good stuff. I'm 20 so I watched it all the time as a kid but I was real young

[Guat175242]

im not gonna lie i cried to this song. im glad i did. its been a long time since i cried. its a weight lifted off of me

[Punchbob69]

@Guat175242 hooray he cried! nice bro keep on!

[Guat175242]

im not gonna lie i cried to this song. im glad i did. its been a long time since i cried. its a weight lifted off of me 

[bshort513]

way more soul in the song from cocker. i like some beatles tunes but i like this version better.

[DiccusBiggus]

take note dubstep, this is how you make a cover

[antenora1009]

@DiccusBiggus what step????

[MrNeary2010]

the definition of a cover is one artists interpretation of another artists work. therfore this is a excellent cover. not better just diff. ya kno

[yk2898]

que recuerdos por dioooosssss !!!!



[Erikster09]

lol his name is cocker

[43bumpy]

I always thought that was Jimmy Page on guitar.!!! Love it!!

[scatman765]

waffles

[ThePenvag]

amazinggggggg!!!!!!!!!!

[Jasio666]

the beginning (to 39 second0 is similar to 'love like a man' by ten years after! aint it?

[kylemcgrath14]

Love the opening to this song!

[tonythetiger122]

Wonder Years

[OSKWI]

my parents loved "The Wonder Years" so today my name is Kevin ;)

[MsJdogg00]

Kevin Arnold, my first crush!!! :)

[4thatfilm]

Maybe Beatles wrote it, but Cocker "OWNS" this song...

[ox7bart7xo]

It sounds like a b movie song. to give you an image: "And suddenly jack's world collapses after his GF ran away with his best friend in the whole world. jack starts drinking that night, and gets into trouble with some jersey shore-ish fags, jack silently starts crying between the trash where they left them. And asks himself how he got in the shit he was sitting in. after sobering up and finding new love and friends he finally became a comedian."

The Beatles are Magic nobody ever came near them.

[slowhand19]

@ox7bart7xo maybe, just quite possibly, you are a massive idiot and no one cares. i wouldnt pay any amount of money to hear the beatles version in any form. this is pure soul, and a cover on par with hendrixs 'all along the watchtower'. use your ears, not your ego.

[ox7bart7xo]

@slowhand19 Quite pre-assumptious of you to prefer to personal matters, because you feel wronged in anyway.

Then again these are Opinions from different people, from whom you have just an Impression of, so to get defensive like that is out of the place.

To be offended, is alright. But keep it on the subject.

seeing that our opinions don't actually cause any real problems, i have to say nothing more than this:

"Everybody their own stuff."

Good Day.

[slowhand19]

@ox7bart7xo then dont declare absolutes on a subjective topic and expect people to not call you on them.

[ox7bart7xo]

@slowhand19 That's what the point is of an opinion, it's to have theories, because different people have different opinions. Oblivious Faggot is Oblivious. also NO, not as in gay but as the annoying hot-air-balloon-Pretentious-As­shole you are being.

You know you DON'T, Need to WIN an argument, you learn from it. also your cover-songs sucks man.

[slowhand19]

@ox7bart7xo ahaha thats the spirit. dont be such a pussy bro. and work on your punctuation.

[ox7bart7xo]

@slowhand19 I just needed to see Darkness it's true face before understanding myself.

Heheheheh.... Feels Fucking Good man. let's enjoy our humanity. And see where time will take us.

[metalisback]

I never really cared for this version. I'm not saying its terrible but I always preferred the original

[brenonion]

that IS jimmy page, holy shit i never noticed before

[pjcv100]

como hubiese querido haber nacido en esa epoca.. ya que tengo 30 años y me encantan estas musicasque vivan los años 70 y 80

[P0TTERMAN]

See when I watched Across The Universe for the 1st time, I thought that the song in the film would keep in touch mostly with the original version. Also, to add I was a huge fan of the Wonder Years (and like the fact that the movie was kind of paying homage) But see at the end of the song in the film, they started singing the Joe Cocker version. I tell you....My heart BURST out of its chest in awe!!! :D:D

[MyNameIs0308]

Stupenda...



[theshingles100]

beatle's is WAY better 

[pavlo666lost]
