  • awesome *-*

  • There's this song called little boxes and it's covered by almost every band. Every band wants to cover it and it all sounds just the same. And the bands don't seem to notice that what they do is thick with irony, these bands on their big labels and they all sound the same.

  • @dangerousawesome And the bands at hot topic seem to think they're doing something new, something new that's been suggested by their company. So they "discover" and then cover a song that's been all over their TV, with the same chords and same melodies and it still sounds the same.

  • @DesoliteTNS why the fuck people would say that? if they hear this version and the version of all of the other cover . Specially Linkin Park. They'll say OMFG Rise Against ',,',

  • WHAT! i love Weeds and this song, but i fucking love me some Rise Against!

  • To anyone that says Rise Against missed the point of the song, slap yourself, they understood the point of the song 100x more than you will ever.

  • To me Rise Against is the best rock band in the world! every single song is awesome! :D, even this one that only lasts 1:32 is epic as hell!

  • @petetheneedforspeed LOL 3 day weekend by them is even shorter

  • @manky2231 but as i said, its still epic! :P

  • And my life is complete. Fuckin' love me some Pete Seeger.

  • this version should have been on the show with the family holding up lighters lol

  • Awesome!!! That felt soooo good!

  • Lol listen to tim scream little boxes haha

  • GO BRANDON!!!! When it goes all fast and hard it's like te drop in a good dubstep song. =P gotta love a drummer that can bust out a fast-as-fuck punk drumbeat with seemingly no effort. We love you. And of course always pay respects towards Tim's fantastic scream voice. =)

  • I dont understand how people can say this kinda crap is good music. Sounds like the garbage truck coming around my front yard in the morning.

  • @Jdrichardson35christ

    I dont understand why you think anyone would give a fuck what you have to say.

    go listen to some nikki minaj faggot

  • @appleairplane Why are you so upset? typical of a rise against fan though i suppose. And who is nikki minaj? The only good cover of this song is by Regina Spektor. The rest are all pretty bad.

  • @Jdrichardson35christ Don't push your girly music on others. Not everybody wants to hear angelic voices all the time. No doubt she's wicked talented but she's not my style. So why hate on Tim's voice just because it's not your style. He practiced to get that rasp and range for years, since he was little. Although I suppose I'm breaking a huge internet rule here. Don't feed the trolls.

  • @Jdrichardson35christ

    Thats PUNK!

  • @Jdrichardson35christ Too bad you don't like Rise Against, that's your loss!

  • WEEDS!!!

  • Check out my 2 yr old singing this song and others. The videos are quick and to the point. :) Thanks!

  • Dislike

  • @yankeeboy1927 shhh

  • @yankeeboy1927

    lolno....

  • @OnlyF2P lolyes.

  • @yankeeboy1927

    How the FUCK is rise against generic as hell? The fact your comment "has received too many negative votes" just proves you're either deaf or retarded.

  • @OnlyF2P So here's this song that seems to be somewhat opposed to conformity, and your comment, that seems to be more than somewhat opposed to an opinion other than your own. Interesting. Maybe even, ironic. "Too many negative votes", by the way, sort of defaults to a grand total of 5. Yes, at last count that did constitute a landslide. Hail to the chief!

  • @rtydhg9q

    :| How is it ironic? It sounds like you're just spewing a shit load of...well shit. The song is "opposed to conformity" meaning you agree it isn't "generic" as the other fuck said. Just because it takes a minimum of 5 to make it "too many" does not mean it received only 5 negative votes. I don't mean to sound bigoted, but yankeeboy1927's opinion was straight up wrong. Also I don't see the relevance here between my comment and the song.

    Stop trying to be smart, idiot.

  • best intro

  • I always skipped the intro because I really HATED the singer's voice. but this is great!!!

  • I wonder why they stopped doing Little Boxes on Weeds. Copyright, or ran out of covers? lol

  • @vahnfish I loved hearing the theme. It's a shame they stopped playing it.

  • @vahnfish Change in the show's theme after season 3 since Agrestic/Majestic burned down

  • This is amazing. Tim's voice<3

  • God that was funny!

  • Sooo gooood

  • I just loled while listen to this :')

  • By doing a cover like this, they're proving that they're not made of ticky-tacky and aren't just the same :3

  • i can't wait for the next season of weeds!!!

  • Nice one there.. very nice one... A Aweseome one....

    A REALLY MEGA SUPER AWESOME ONE

    Roise agianst 4 ever.

  • :D

  • What do you mean by "new song"... they didn't exactly write this one...

  • does anyone know at the beginning of which episode it is played?

  • do you guys realizes that its kinda ironic that all of these bands and groups that are supposed to be daring, original, and always controversial are doing the exact same rendition of a song that was originally a satire that was aimed at denouncing the conforming middle class? And yet here you all are arguing that one band dose it better than another band and that your crazy for thinking that another band is more daring for doing a slightly different version than another. Truly Ironic

  • @jokermugen Well said, but there was nothing satyrical about the song ;).

  • @Frozanics The song is a satire on conformist values in suburbia - it is definitely a satire.

  • so boss

  • the decemberists did this one nicer :3

  • lol, this song covered by Rise Against...

    Rise Against, the middle schoolers post punk band.

  • I like how this version missed the whole point of the song.

  • @secretsantaone How do you figure this version missed the point?

  • @MisterMojoJojojo Because it's supposed to be subtle. It's a simple little softly sung song that gradually gets more sinister. Screaming pretty much ruins it.

  • @hunnygotowned why would anyone want to spell them right?

  • Why is he crying when he sings? :////

  • lol listened to linken parks version of this and this is way better.

  • @darkdivad That is because its rise against :D

  • @darkdivad try to spell "Linkin"

  • i love this. and the screach right b4 its starts playing harder sweet!

  • @HeyLookBirds LOL the "screach" is called a pick slide in case you were wondering

  • I love this version of the song, which is weird, because normally I hate it when the singer screams instead of sings but for some reason this is just really beautiful to me

  • AND THE BOYS WILL MAKE A BUSINESS

    THEY MARRY AND RAISE A FAMILY

    THEY ALL GET PUT IN BOXES

    LITTLE BOXES ALL THE SAME!

    YEAH A GREEN ONE, A PINK ONE,

    A BLUE ONE AND A YELLOW ONE!

    THEY'RE ALL MADE OUT OF TICKY-TACKY

    AND THEY ALL LOOK JUST THE same....

  • its the theam for weeds too. :) <3

  • nah... this is just screaming. doesn't mean it's good

  • @EgoSotona yes, but keep in mind that just cause it is screaming doesn't mean it cant be good

  • huhauha xurupitas farm

  • 16 people live in a box!

  • @hallopoephallo 18 people know good music

  • Weeds!

  • weeds<3

    

  • las casitas del barrio alto

  • nice cover

  • Nicee

    !!!!!!!!!!

  • I like watching this one, then the Linkin Park version, then this one again, then I realise how much better this version is!

  • XURUPITAS FARM

  • @BRUNOCHIRELLI what is xurupitas farm?

  • @gurkensexshop Xurupita's Farm is the Brazzilian reality developed by RedeTV when the music theme is the Little Boxes.

  • @BRUNOCHIRELLI ahh thank you sir

  • @BRUNOCHIRELLI what?

  • @TasteForDisaster Old brazillian comedy tv program, this is the music theme

  • xurupitas farm

  • XURUPITA`S FARM II 

  • Guys, this is a cover.

  • this voice sounds like Hansi Kürsch

    WEEDS ♥

  • @kaioforce No way in Hell does Tim McIlrath sound like Hansi! They're both possibly the best singers, and Rise Against and Blind Guardian have both been my favorite bands, but Hansi has a much higher voice and way more ridiculous range. Just sayin'.

  • 00:28 - 00:40 sounds like Hansi in my point.

  • @kaioforce Ehhhhh...sort of, but not really.

  • @CriticsConfession He has a bit of a point here lol. It's song kind of the same tune Hansi does for most harder songs, but Hansi's voice is totaly different and like you said has a way more ridicioulous range. Hansi to me, is the new Dio. (Which makes him the best singer alive). Funny though, Rise Against is my favorite band. :p

    Oh well, I just fucking love this song and i don't even know what weeds is! :D

  • judging by the top rated comments people are way out of the fucking loop, this is a cover, and check out all the bands in the side bar that have covers of it to, if you haven't heard this song before, you've been living under a rock

  • Just remember guys, fighting on the internet is just like the special olympics, even if you win, you are still retarted.

  • i lol'ed at the stupid discussion going on here

  • this sounds pretty frikin awesome

  • fu@# ya they should have done this on the show weeds

  • Tim McIlrath can do anything!!!

  • I like how it starts out like Swing Life Away, and ends like Give It All.

  • @SkateHomeless it sounds way heavier than give it all at the end

  • wtf are ya'll jabbering about!? this cover is awesome btw kudos RA...idk about best band ever but they're are great and I'm sure they'd say the same.

  • Definitely not a new song, ytoxx, but it is indeed a good cover job by Rise Against.

  • Arguing about bands on Youtube and claiming that one is better than the other is for people that are made out of Ticky-Tacky.

  • @venim619 and they all look just the same.

  • @venim619 Pretty much. :D

  • linkin park's is as just as bad as every other band/artist only its gay too

  • This is good but it has nothing on Linkin Park.

  • Goddammit, I'm searching for a circle pit xD !

  • @EazyRun I miss real mosh pits XD They ruined them with their bs fences etcs. Just cause a few idiots got themselves crushed to death. Dead is the stage dive thanks to the paternalism of government and the greed of capitalists avoiding law suits. Now little kids go on about "circle pits"? LMAO, little wannabe punks running in circles just looks and feels stupid. As soon as anything is looking popular the conservatives running our societies turn it to limp shit and try to sell it the masses.

  • @Tuathalful Yeah, you're right. But the other problems are these Oh-So-New-School-Hardcore-Kids who think that Violent Dancing and hurting each other is so hardcore. This is the reason I cannot enter a fucking moshpit. No respect, don't care at all and a I-give-a-fuck-on-the-lyrics-*B­ree*-Attitude. What has Hardcore become!? United youths beating each other and pig squeal along their way!? And the mosh pit is only a civil-war-pit. thank you!

    Back to the roots! Pushing each other and having fun!

  • I do love that the mallpunk bands cover this song. Self-conscious kitsch. Who would have guessed? And yet, what else is co-optation for?

    That said, I do love it. It's christmas eve and I've only wrapped TWO FUCKING PRESENTS.

  • this song is so rise against

    "they all came out the same"

    yeah, that's pretty RA too me

  • Yeah,they are a buncha vegan pussies,but I can see past all that,their music smashes anything Ive heard,the last cd was pretty soft,but its ok they have like 4 cd's before that of BAD ASS music,generation lost is my favorite of all time.

  • @abondonallhope Hey theyr the best band to walk this earth. and if u call them pussies then i have no idea what that makes you. they sing with a cause unlike other hardcore bullshit bands like slipknot and megadeth and all those bands who go for drugs money and sluts

  • @abondonallhope Do NOT call them pussies,Because Tim could kick your ass, he just wouldnt notice you enough to care.

  • @theTJdoober whatever,ride them nuts bitch boy,Ive met all them dudes,nothing hardcore about them cept there music,promise,unless your a pussy whos never been to a real underground punk show.

  • @abondonallhope So Your saying you love rise against but their pussies. That makes YOU a pussy. And no i dont mean you are what you eat. They are amazing, inspiration people. And makeing homosexual jokes, how original. Rise them nuts bitch boy? I guess youve tried that to understand what that means, because I dont.

  • @theTJdoober whatever,all the little clever wordplay,Bet ya Id knock your teeth out your mouth faggot,I think there music is great but I hate some of the beliefs they live by,doesnt change the fact that the music is amazing,no pussies here faggot,youll get it one day.

  • @abondonallhope Yes, clever. I am that. Thank you. But no, I dont belive you can knock my teeth out.

  • @theTJdoober >typical youtube argument with that other guy (you suck dick. yeah well come to my house cause i can beat the shit out of you. etc.)

    All banter aside, that guy does have a point. they are a bunch of bleeding-heart liberals. They're also members of PETA which I would normally have no problem with animal rights, but PETA is fucking insane

  • @jeradarteche agreed!

  • @jeradarteche btw your a pussy and I'd kick your ass...lol jk Rise Against is good stuff

  • SOUNDGASM!

  • WEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I didnt like the unraveling but i loved rpm

  • it is not their song, it s cover on some country song

  • How cool is this? Class!!! :)

  • cool! :D

  • Rise against is the best rock band !! :)

  • for those younger peeps out there, this song came out in the mid- 60's and its a social commentary that fits in now and perfect for a band like Rise Against...its a song against conformity.

  • @Vendetta1000 they did this to the tv show weeds, but who peformed the orginal?

  • @stol2 Malvina Reynolds

  • Comment removed

  • epic cover1:11 AND A GREEN ONE! AND A YELLOW !

  • fuck off!!!

  • omg, i love this song

  • jees yea its the song from weeds. season 2 they had diff bands cover the song for each ep. and theres a cd of all covers of it.

  • its an awesome song! lol

  • Yeah! :))

  • Ya, it is about how people are becoming sheeple. Enjoy yourself as you become one of the masses. One of the Borg.

  • Holy shit people, Ticky Tacky is like a substance that is malleable and easy to bend and to mold into what somebody wants.

    It's about those conforming to the capitalist system of work, consume, sleep, repeat.

    Brilliant.

  • Comment removed

  • Dude this is not LIKE rise against!

    But it's still f*ckin awesome :p

  • It isnt even their song.

  • WEEEEEEEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I LOVE EVERY SONG THEY HAVE EVER AND WILL EVER MAKE OR PLAY!! and you now why?because i love this band

  • when he screams ticky tacky it makes me laugh so much :D

  • Hey F*** all you guy that talk shit. Rise Against is the best band ever and if you are a true fan then you would love ever song they have made

  • @beaudonahue: wo du recht hast, hast du recht! ;D

  • jo hatter recht

    aber trotzdem hätte ich mir gerne beim neuem album die alte härte gewünscht^^

  • @beaudonahue That is an ad hominem circumstantial logical fallacy

  • @beaudonahue but they didnt make this. its a cover.

  • @beaudonahue everybody is going to think that the band they like is the best band in the world... lol... THIS short version IS BADASS THOUGH LOL... MAN TOO BAD MY SPEAKERs BLEW OUT ON MY SOUND SYSTEM. GONNA GO BUY MORE AND LISTEN TO THIS ON FULL BLAST IT'LL BE EPIC LOL... PEACE

  • @dronus not short version my bad...

  • @beaudonahue this dudes got the right idea

  • @beaudonahue i don't agree, Rise against is my favorite band but that doesn't mean i HAVE to love every single song they make.

    personally i don't like this song very much, but then again, it wasn't written by Rise against.

  • @beaudonahue you don't have to like every song they make, i love rise against but lets be honest appeal to reason doesnt compare to the unraveling or RPM

  • @beaudonahue The best criticism comes from friends, because they want you to change to get better.

  • @beaudonahue Rise against hasn't made a good album since siren songs of the counter culture.

  • @richardmorrison78 Have you heard Sufferer and the Witness or Appeal to Reason? Both of those albums are amazing.

  • @flody19 Those are the only two albums after what he said so im assuming yes....

  • @flody19

    I'm guessing you haven't listened to The Unraveling or Revolutions Per Minute, then. If you had, then you would agree with the comment you were replying to.

  • @guywholovesmovies I have listened to both those albums.

  • @flody19

    Good for you. Now, I'm not saying that they completely suck. But after listening to those, you can't say that The Sufferer and The Witness and Appeal to Reason are "amazing", since they obviously aren't.

  • @guywholovesmovies I actually think they are better than The Unraveling and Revolutions Per Minute.

  • @flody19

    Because you're an ignorant fuck, most likely less than 18 years old, who can only listen to poppy-as-shit music and still call it "punk". Once again, I'm not saying that I think the albums suck. But you can't listen to motherfucking Savior, Behind Closed Doors, Prayer of the Refugee, and Re-Education and still believe that they're better than Black Masks and Gasoline, Everchanging, and Blood-Red, White, & Blue just because they "sound better". Those songs have real punk meaning, dude.

  • @guywholovesmovies You're calling me ignorant? You are the person assuming things about me while you no nothing. Did I ever say that I called the new albums punk? No. They aren't pop music either retard, the songs still have meaning. Anyways, I'm not saying the songs you listed, or the first 2 albums suck, I'm saying I like the new albums better. Also, what you failed to realize is that I said "I like" and "I think" so it is MY opinion.

  • @flody19

    That's funny. You're trying to act like you're so smart, yet you still can't spell. Well, you can go be a fucking dumb ass all you want. It's cool, dude. I get it. You're a Generation Z fuckhead who is too "cool" to read a book or to spend any time learning how to spell shit.

  • @guywholovesmovies I made 1 spelling mistake and that makes me stupid? You are one retarded person, you asshat. Also, I am not this stupid kid who you think I am. I am smart enough to realize that you are an asshole who jumps to conclusions. I also do read books, as I value education.

  • @flody19 Revolutions Per Minute is definately their best album.

  • @beaudonahue I understand you, but that is not true. It is even bether that a band also has a bad song.. that meens that they are daring to be risky :D

  • @beaudonahue

    lol fag

  • @beaudonahue No, thats ignorant.

  • @beaudonahue

    You're a sheep in a herd if you're just going to love anything your favorite band produces just because they did it. That makes you the opposite of a true fan. Poser? Is that the right word? Maybe.

  • this is the intro song to the show Weeds.

  • still prefer songs like Give it all, prayer to the refugee and like the angel.

  • im sorry but Rise Against lost me after Siren Songs. some bands just do better with the poorer, gritty, refined quality. not too overproduced and mixed.

  • ur the worst fan i know
