  • @in0rx I was wondering if you knew which record did with the country road cover. Some once told me they didn't do one but I have the song on my old iPod. The album cover says hi standard and it sound just like they seeing how they are to only foreign band I listen to

  • @belita101 Dunno if anyone answered your question, but Me First and the Gimme Gimmes had the song Country Roads on the Survival of the Fattest compilation album. I think it is also on their own album called "Have Another Ball."

  • @combatsniper I know this is a late reply but ken Yokohama the guitarist has his own band and I think he still has the drummer from hi standard. I was once told that all that really happened was that they changed their name, but I am not sure abound that. What i am sure of is that Ken's new band sounds good to me, but I am a punk noob soo yeah

  • This is garth brooks

  • os caras sao o maximo., bom demais mesmo

  • its like the pearl jam singer went puck,, california dreamin on A HDFHFOH;FKAGFKAG;AG dayyyyyyyy

  • this is gwar

  • DUDE. NOT PENNYWISE.

  • first ime listening to this band, and I am wondering why am I just now hearing them, FUCKIING AWESOME

  • this is Me first & the gimme gimmes

  • @spockomatic In what world do you live in where Japanese and American people have the same accent? This is the Japanese band Hi-Standard and it's hilarious that someone can seriously mistake this cover for Pennywise or MFATGG.

  • good

    buena musica desde tijuana ......

    

  • du k-ralho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • so is this pennywise? or is this some other band from japan called high standard?

  • @Skablove Hi Standard. No mistake.

  • lol, i got here from another misattributed song.

  • Yeah ... that´s song are Hi-Standard ... POSER!

  • This is not Pennywise...but i like it....xD

  • they are called HIGH STANDARD. this song is off of fat wreck chords survival of the fattest vol. 3...

  • @JlNXX volume 2

  • @JlNXX First off, the band is called Hi-Standard. Secondly, it was on the Fat Wreck Chords comp "Survival of The Fattest" and there is no other volumes with that name. Even if you were referring to the number of comps they put out, you were still wrong because it was the second Fat Wreck Chords sampler. You might want to know what you're talking about if you going to correct someone.

  • @laylalaylady A thumbs up just doesn't cut it for accurate information being displayed for all.

    **Insert High-Five here**

  • @RichiRicheh Right back at you.

  • I agree This IS NOT PWISE,.....but im almost fucking positive they did a cover of this song im remebering a 411 video from back in the day like shit 97ish that had this song covered by pwise i could be wrong tho

  • it isn't on any album, its a "non album" track...

  • ハイスタのパクリですねわかります

    

  • It is not Pennywise! It is Hi Standard!!

  • holy shit I love this song , and pennywise, why the FUCK did I not know this existed !?!?!?

  • adja...XDDD

  • this is hi standard NOT pennywise.... from the punk o rama 2

  • Comment removed

  • @jeffgentle It's not on Punk O Rama 2 nor any of the Punk O Rama albums. It was on the Fat Wreck Chords comp "Survival of the Fattest".

  • @jeffgentle actually pennywise did cover this song.

  • @GodlessMartyr666 Pennywise never covered this song and that's an absolute fact. If you loved Pennywise so much like you claimed, you'd know what they sound like and realize this is clearly not them.

  • @greatestxgift this is not them no, but they did a cover, look it up.

  • @GodlessMartyr666 It's hilarious and ironic that you're telling me to "look it up" when you clearly haven't done so yourself. One more time, read slowly and carefully, Pennywise never covered this song and that's an undeniable, inarguable FACT. I will pay you 500 dollars (on my father's grave) if you send a link to a recording of Pennywise covering "California Dreamin'" and don't send me some stupid link to a radio or lyric site that perpetuates misinformation. Just keep looking for it...

  • so fyeah

  • @nasonqjenai

    Japanese Punk band named Hi Standard.

  • @nasonqjenai Best comment ever.

  • @nasonqjenai

    This is a japanese band called Hi-Standard.

  • @nasonqjenai Hi Standard Jap Cover Band

  • @Hauino15 Hi-Standard is NOT a cover band. Where do you little kids get your information from?

  • @laylalaylady hi standard is a cover band, they did war is over. Period.

  • @kgr00 Oh, I didn't realize that when a band does a few covers that they're considered a "cover band". I guess The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Radiohead, Rancid, Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Operation Ivy, My Morning Jacket, Pennywise, The Black Keys, The Get Up Kids, NOFX, Gorilla Biscuits, Turbonegro, and every band that does a cover or two (which is almost every band that was ever created) are just cover bands. Thanks for enlightening me of this new revelation.

  • @laylalaylady some people are just retarted :/

  • @laylalaylady AHHHH think about it please this song is form beach boys so its a cover?

  • @Hauino15 First off, this song was written and originally recorded by The Mamas & The Papas NOT The Beach Boys as they actually covered the song too. Secondly, I never said anything about this song being written by Hi-Standard. I simply made it clear that the band in this recording is Hi-Standard which it is and I noted that it was cover in my past comments. Try to read my comment clearly next time and heed your own advice: "think about it please".

  • This song sucks on so many levels...it is truly an amazing display. It is a cliche interpretation of somebody elses song, in somebody elses style.....an absolute, 110% golden turd.

  • @YukonGoldenBoy , i love you in the ass...

  • @YukonGoldenBoy They sing Califolnia Dleaming. Which is awesome

  • Play your own stuff, and dont destroy songs as this !

  • this is memory.... i remember when i was hanging with friend outside, drinking our first beers and walking around everywhere with my walkman (!) i had such great mixtapes of all my favourite punk rock bands. even before they put out the pankorama samplers. good times.

  • Great song. This cover sounds like a mongoloid is singing !

  • very good song!

  • THIS IS BY A BAND CALLED "HIGH STANDARD" . Its not pennywise

  • why the fuck do people find it so hard to differentiate between punk bands?

    i mean this is CLEARLY not pennywise.

  • Whos singing this? Someone without a tounge???

  • @SIRELDO999 LOL

  • @SIRELDO999 no it's a japanese guy :p

  • You can convert this or any youtube video to an mp3 at instantmp3s..com

  • Little punk with coffee. Yoga and punk goes, Yin and Yang! NW swell I hear?

  • ,,,just saw Stand by Me...from NOFX.... now California Dreaming...by Pennywise ???

    ...2 in 2 ..... to the one who posted this vid : if u want to spread wronf infos about yourself, go on .... but before spreading about others , AT LEAST make sure what you say is true and reflect reality ......you made a mistake ? then AT LEAST do what you have to do to fix it ...... on another subject : Hey ! Barak Obama is Caucasian !!..oh! BTW : nice version HiStandard came-up with !

  • Hi standard, the best oriental punk band ever

  • @chrisbouley Do you understand how ignorant you sound calling Hi-Standard an "oriental" punk band?

  • im a big japanese lover...singer wies and im lerning to speck it -japanese 1- proud of it but i really dont liek this verison.....this was originaly sung by the mamas and the papas for ll of yo uwho dont know or cant read skillz74's comment! <3

  • This all started when someone posted this on a file sharing site as pennywise and it became the most downloaded version of the song. It i so commonly known as a pennywise song it may as well be. Its funny. @MrSpittingVenom a "punk" who uses the word poser is the epitome of what a poser is. Dont judge. Just be. and FUCK the rest! Fucker!

  • @bishopgatrer rawr this is a good band but why is it considerd punk cuz to me its political rock like syestem of a down soo idk

  • @cooldudex72 How is Hi-Standard "political rock"? You seem like a thoroughly confused little kid.

  • @greatestxgift because of their songs that are about powor and stuff idk this band isnt good in my opinion all i listen to is blink 182 and im not much of a kid but i guess since i am a minor

  • @cooldudex72 I think it's painfully clear that you have no idea what you're talking about. Do you even know who Hi-Standard is? What songs are about "powor" (whatever that is)?

  • @bishopgatrer THIS IS NOT A PENNYWISE SONG YOU DOUCHEBAG! OPEN YOUR EARS AND LEARN YOUR HISTORY... PENNYWISE IS A SHITTY BAND AND IF YOU THINK YOU ARE PUNK CUZ YOU LIVE IN SOCAL THEN MAKE A TRIP TO TEXAS SON! I WILL FUCK YOUR WORLD UP

    !!! AND OH YEAH, FUCK PENNYWISE... IN THE RECORD BOOKS THEY WILL BE A NOBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @HoustonTexasMike Wow, is everyone in Texas as moronic as you? I'm the one that said that this is NOT Pennywise, and gave the history as to why it is commonly referred to as Pennywise. Also, I am from Ohio and have never been to California. Finally, people who type in all caps are dicknut fucktards that usually have no valuable input. If your worthless shitface was even slightly worth it I would come to Texas and introduce your balls to your mouth and slap your inbred mom for having you.

  • @HoustonTexasMike your making the rest of us in texas look like douchebags like you. go kill yourself

  • @HoustonTexasMike Wow, you're seriously an idiot.

  • lol fletcher is like why the hell am in this picture? its not pennywise FUCK YOU ill take the credit anyway lol

  • Its Mamas and the Papas..... duh

  • @Skillz174 its a cover of mamas and papas song oO'

  • Cmon, people. At this point it isn't even a matter of knowing yer punk, learn to read. Again, it's Hi-Standard. And they are Japanese. I'll bet most of you have trouble finding Japan on the bloody map, or singing -anything- in Japanese, much less doing it well. Now excuse me while I go listen to some Gism and wonder where everyone's sense went. As to the yellow reference, you can eff off and die, good luck with that attitude around true punks. I hope you have a good plastic surgeon.

  • 思いっきりハイスタじゃねーかカス

    さっさと削除しろや

  • que guevas.. es hi standard de japon jajja

  • Sehr sehr geil

  • they are TRYing to sound retarded, right? like literally retarded? i'm not making fun of this, really, listen to their vocals - they really, really sound like retards! not even in a derogatory manner!

  • @dingleberrycherry sounds like someone without a tongue + a sinus infection...

  • @presidentkushNET You think this is bad there is another Japanese Punk band called Nicotine, that has covers of,Cherry pie,Eye of the tiger, and baby hit me one more time. Go listen to that and then tell me who is worse.

  • hi standard

    survival of the fattest sampler^^

  • They sound Japanese at some points. Not Pennywise, Hi-Standard. They even had an EP for it.

  • runch a rinters daaaaaaayw

    ya nofx for sure.

  • deff not pennywise. But California is great I love it.

  • Hey, don't blame the Wise man!!! It's the (notafucking) Philosophus1's fault!

  • thats not pennywise....its me first and the....

  • @songwriter2301 gimme gimmes

  • sucker!

  • It's funny that this song got falsely credited to Pennywise. I attribute this to the rise of P2P music sharing on Napster. It was mislabled there by some idiot and it stuck until now.

  • yeah hi-standard, and they didn't ruin it O.o

  • i think its Me First and The Gimme Gimmes

  • @rohpinn8294 Why does one idiot have to write Me First and The Gimmie Gimmies on every punk cover video? Silly little kids

  • crap!!!

  • yeah defo hi standard

  • ITS HI STANDARD....dont say anything different cause your wrong

  • I agree with MrSpittingVenom here.

  • ハイスタやんかぁ。

  • whoever thinks this is actually Pennywise is retarded!! its Hi-Standard and also these guys made this song fifty times better if anything..

  • Great, great song. To those who say it ruined the original... I say no it didn't. Mamas and Papas certaintly had amazing harmony sure, but this pretty much the same melody; but on steroids.

  • They completely ruined the song "California Dreamin."

  • sounds like yellows to me, cant understand them

  • How anyone thought this was Pennywise and Not Hi-Standard is a freaking mystery to me...

  • This is the Japanese punk band Hi Standard, not Pennywise.lol

  • what the fuck

  • Absolutley ruined an amazing song! :(

  • These people are Japanese. the band is Hi Standard.
