  • jo OAP wiley is there, how uncool

  • No one could ever re-do this song how Bruce did it! but this is amazing!

  • Great job McFly

  • Legit, guys. Great job. Fantastic stuff.

  • eu quero namorar com uma inglesa bem linda!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i'm so in love with this that i can't belive it.

  • It's amazing how a sax can suddenly throw in a party feel to the music (rip CC)! I liked this cover!

  • holy shit

    I'm laughing so hard

    at the Thunder Road alt lyrics

    when this crap ass sees them!

  • i am a BIG McFly fan and i fell in love with Bruce Springsteen's music when i listen to this cover of Born To run., thanks Danny!

  • that's Tom's house! :D

  • I like tom's shirt :o)

  • If you want to see an even better cover of this classic(my favourite song of all time), watch Amy Mcdonald's version, its bloody good

  • @ThePatwheel it's right

  • Why is Ricky Hatton;s dad playing the Sax?

  • obviously professional and very well done.....but can you honestly say you "love it with all the madnes in your soul"?

  • Born To Run is an extremely respectable rock song.

  • Excellent Cover! I've seen Bruce over 100 times in concert. I think he would be pleased with the way these guy's covered his music.

  • did anyone see the superbowl interview for bruce springstien?

    reporter: so what songs does the NFL want you to sing?

    Bruce: No one tells the boss what to sing

    Epic lol

  • Sweet!!!!

  • MOTHER FUCKER Im sorry i had to curse but this is better then the real thing. Thanks for the post. 100 stars

  • i love dany`s voice

    amazing

    mcfly your ok man

  • oh this is definitely one of the best mcfly covers they have EVER done :)

    Danny Jones, you are a beaut - his song, I melt ;)

  • love this song and love this cover. 

  • LONG LIVE THE BOSS

  • super • really great

  • Great!

  • @2Eline It is a good cover but not nearly as good as the original.

  • @03maroofa i know the original is better, but i rather listen all day to this than bruce, just like the sound more

  • i love it even more than the original <3

  • ive never heard anything more amazing than danny jones' voice (:

  • @MCrocks2 I totally agree. it´s lovely!! <3<3

  • aw Danny's just so cute

  • God enough 'I can do better blah blah blah' this was a good arrangement and performance of a great song. Make your own video if your so good. Put up or shut up.

  • I hate McFly... but this...this is actually alright. Great job~~

  • Ummm....Decent I guess, but neither of those two guys can really sing. Call me narrow minded, but I think that the "singer" should actually know how to sing.

  • well they can both sing amazingly you must be deaf if you think not. the second singer is usualy alot better i admit but its still amazing

  • Actually, it's quite the opposite. I have perfect pitch, which means, I can tune an intsrument by ear as easily as using a tuner. The first guy is o.k. The second guy can't sing at all. The instrumentals are good. The singing, not. I can sing much better than either. If you don't believe me, come to Cody Jack's in Minneola, Fl., on 3/19/10 at 8:30p.m. I will demonstrate what good vocals sound like.

  • I know what perfect pitch is! and being perfectly on pitch doesnt make you the best singer at all, most of the most famous and best voices in music had their own tinges and faults including the Boss. The second guy CAN sing and bloody well but like i said he is off here.

  • Quite true. One's ear doesn't determine whether one can sing(but without a good ear, it's impossible). It is with the vocal cords, larynx, and diaphragm that a true vocalist practices his/her art. I used to date an opera singer who hated The Boss's voice, She would complain if it came on the radio(I totally disagreed). That girl can sing though! I mean really really sing. I suppose that there is a difference between being a singer, and being a vocalist,...I am both. The second kid is neither.

  • Well as a singer you should know not to judge from one performance and also know music/singing is all subjective and down to a single persons perspective. so i guess neither one of us will ever be ''right''

  • NO! You will admit that I'm right, or I'll sit here and drink coffee until you do Mister! Either that, or until I puke, or pee myself, whichever comes 1st. Crap! out of coffee! This bottle of syrup will have to do. O.K., I'm not saying it's terrible, just not great. In fairness, I will view some of their other stuff. It's hard to cover greatness such as Springteen's. I cover The River, Brilliant Disguise, and now I'm toying with Born To Run. See You at Cody Jack's.......

  • Hahah :] check out their song search ' Mcfly Home Is Where The Heart Is ' amazing vocal by both an the second singer tom at the beginning of it and the instrumentals are amaging.

  • Listened to "Home". Good song. Classic Rock Anthem stuff. Vocals, again, a bit weak. Clean, but weak. IDK, I think "whiney" might best describe my complaint. Solid guitar work by someone though.

  • Fair enough if you dont like his voice :) his writes alot of the music base and lyrics hes actually very talented NAS has comissioned him to write a massive orchestral for their big shuttle launch later this year. The guitar work though inc solo was done by danny the first singer on this.

  • @carlthejarl OKAY, if your SO good. Then why arent you as big as these guys?

  • @JustColumbia These guys are "big"? Could have fooled me. MilliVanilli was "big" too. Lady Gaga is huge, but can't sing a lick unless it's in a studio where her vocals are tweaked out electronically. The best musicians I know don't have a penny to their names, regardless of their overall talent. I've a family and no time to indulge fantasy. I play out some(last Friday night), but leave the dreaming to the dreamers. McFly isn't bad, but they aren't all that good either.

  • @carlthejarl I know it's been a while since you've posted this and you're probably not on here anymore... but they gave the wrong songs to give examples of their great vocals. For the first singer, search "Danny Jones - Caruso". For the second singer, search "Tom Fletcher -Where Angels Fear To Tread". For just an epic cover of theirs, search "McFly- Live And Let Die". You'll probably never read this... hmmmmmmmmmm

  • i love the emoness, i dont really think it seems emo at all tho but i love this cover, it is amazing and i dont care if tom has to read the lyrics coz he has done a good job with the cover. Dannys voice is amazing XD love him to bits

  • ever though that might actually be his accent.. he is from bolton!

  • lose the EMO accent, and you got yourself a cool cover.

  • emo accent? if you think either one of these has one you have no idea what emo soudsn like ie a whiney tom delonge rip off where all singer sound the same

  • awesome cover! but that sax wasnt that cool

  • This is work of art .. nothing more to say

  • The guy playing the trumpet is so siiick! :D

    McFLY♥

  • Thats a saxophone , but yes stick sick ha

  • @TheMonopolyManiac Ahaha! It is! LMFAO. My mistake:D Thanks for correcting me:D

  • @McJennz No Prob, thats what im here for :P haa jk

  • love them :D

  • nearly as good as the original if you ask me

  • danny sounds great!!!

  • awesome :P

  • cool :) greets from sweden

  • This is what i want do in my home, but i don't have considered my wife... :-))

    Fantastic cover man!!!!!

  • This was great. This song's a classic and they stayed true to the original. Some bands screw with the arrangement, either because they're disrespectful or (more likely) because they don't have the musical ability to play it right. But not these boys, they are talented.

  • Didnt have any strong judgment on them proir to discovering this. I am a massive Bruce fan and thought clicking on this would be interesting... It was more than that. Was brilliant! Really surprised! The Boss would be proud!

  • this is an amazing song...... and mcfly just totally makes it awesome. both mcfly and springsteen are amazing.  :) and both perform this song great :) A plus plus for both

  • I cant believe I like this

  • what a great cover !

  • I know that this might seem biased because I'm a McFly fan, but this cover is amazing.

    I have listened to Bruce Springsteen's original and nothing compareds to that, but this is really good.

  • Wow! With vocal harmonies and sax!

    Great!

    We don't have a sax, but it rocks anyway :)

  • this has got to be the most amazing thing ever!

    <3

  • Danny's voice.... <3

  • @McFLYMe94 danny's voice? how about DANNY ;D!!!!!! <3

  • I have new found respect for McFly...

  • Tom is so cute.(L)

  • omg love theme soooo they rock !!!!!!!!!! best band ever

  • They are utterly amazinggg :) i love them

  • Danny sings it so beautiful *melting*

  • i think that danny's voice sounds better in this cos its got a bit of an edge compared to tom's voice.

    but it doesnt necessarily mean that either of them are better than the other.

    just different.

  • this was a good cover,though it would´ve been better only with danny´s voice and stop saying mcfly is for teeny girls,like wtf?! I know lots of people who are older than 22 that like them and you´d be impressed by the amount of dudes that go to their concerts

  • I can't help but wish Tom didn't sing on this.

  • Comment removed

  • That fact that he had to read the lyrics suggests he wasn't too familiar with the song. But they seem to be the kind of band that prefers to share the lead singing duties, so it's cool.

  • well even springsteen has lyrics in front of him during born to run...and he's been performing it for over 35 years...plus it's a live recording...don't want to ruin something that sounds good, sometimes a song never becomes a hit because the published take didn't have the musical "magic"

  • I've seen Springsteen live numerous times and watched countless performances of Born to Run on video - and I've never yet seen Springsteen have to read the lyrics. If you have evidence to the contrary then please share it because I think it is baloney.

  • @libertyordeaf I didn't see any of them reading lyrics...? But I know that Danny is a huge Bruce fan, which is probably why they covered it in the first place.

  • @ChickenMcNuggetz Between 1:20 and 1:27 you can see Tom reading from a lyrics sheet. But you're right, Danny wouldn't have to read them because he's a Springsteen fan. He's even got Bruce's custom Telecaster.

  • @libertyordeaf Oh I didn't catch that, sorry. I can understand Tom reading them, but yeah definitely Danny wouldn't have to.

  • so why do you listen to their cover songs if you don´t like them

    btw, how many queen covers did they do?? It was only one, wasnt it??

    I think that cover is really good

  • Love this!

  • What's up with your gayarse comment? It's retarded.

  • Lo único que mejora es el saxo, los coros no quedan bien, y la voz... dejémoslo en que comparada con la del boss deja que desear. Aún así el grupo suena bien.

  • is this sarcasm

  • I think they're brill at the 2 OR 3 covers that they do :))

  • es Mi imaginacion o esa rubia maraka ke estaba alí era la olivia :O!????

  • This song makes me cry when Danny sings the end

    I love them sooo much!!

    I had a photo kissin danny lol :)

    Love the trumpet player too :)

  • That's because you're probably wasting you time listening to the covers they've made. Try listening to what they actually WRITE themselves. Gosh..

  • @SignusMelko If you've never seen an original by them then you obviously haven't looked hard...they've sung more originals than they have covers...Look up their albums - Room on The Third Floor, Wonderland, Motion In The Ocean, Radio:ACTIVE, and Above The Noise.

    These guys are so talented. They do write their own songs which is more than can be said for the majority of todays artists, and Having seen them live 3 times and going for a 4th time for my birthday i can safely say they can sing

  • @FearlessRLC96 Mcfly, talented? In what universe? All I see them is doing bad covers of better bands

  • @SignusMelko McFly are extremely talented, far more talented than anyone else in the charts, McFly can sing, They can play their instruments and they can write awesome songs! All you have to do is listen to the songs Pov, Corrupted or Walk In The Sun to see that.

    yes they do, do covers but they aren't bad covers by any means. I'm a bruce springsteen fan and i thought this was a great cover.

    Its sad when someone has nothing better to dowith their time besides bashing and AWESOME band

  • @SignusMelko excuse me i'd like to see you do better! mcfly are my life! and bruce springsteen is my dads idol! he doesnt like mcfly taht much but even he said that this was amazing! so shut up and get a life! :)

  • @SignusMelko fuck u

  • obviously not as good as the boss..... no one is!

    but it was actually really good

    i agree with "teddyiffer" people say their crap but they are actually really good i think :)

  • Have a listen to Frankie goes to Hollywood version, this is Born to RUN so why sing it Born to SLOW JOG ???

  • just love that song! love even more in danny's voice

  • diggin tom's star wars shirt. diggin the song; def not as good as the boss but good cover. boys get props :]]

  • well of course they won't because they didn't write it and havn't been through the same stuff as the boss, but at the end of the day he is dannys idol and its AMAZINGLY sang and played therefore its a good cover

  • its a gd cover!!

    y do loads so it isnt?! the whole point of a cover is to make it your own, and mcfly have.

    people who always say mcfly r crap have no knowledge of music and don't appreciate good musicians.

    10 Numbers written by tom, before he was 25, should say enough

  • i agree people always say mcfly are rubbish, but mcfly are one of the decent bands out there. they write all their own songs and when they perform them live absolutely amazing.

  • Yes, they do write their own songs fwy.

    And thy are amazing.

    Not as great as bruce, but they did it amazingly =)

    Best band in the world! ^__^

  • best mall in the world? HA no thanks

    that's queen

  • Their fans listen to them. And of course they play their own songs! They have four albums complete with songs they've wrote and produced themselves. You dont have to like them but you dont have to say that they dont play their own songs. And it was only one cover they released as a single, the rest of singles were their own and they only play some of the cover songs on tour or as b-sides to singles. And seeing as how they sell out arenas, you cant say that no one listens to their songs can you?

  • Come on, Queen were like one of the most popular bands ever, there arent many bands that do fill up a stadium like Queen. And its not like Wikipedia is exactly reliable. If you saw their wembley concert then you'll know that obviously they do play their own songs as there was only one cover of that tour. Every tour they do one or two covers in a set and thats it.

  • Good point

  • Oh...ok thanks :)

  • mcfly are brilliant compared to all the crap dance music and stuff these days!

  • brilliant compared to crap doesn't make someone good, it just makes them better than crap

  • you have a good sense in music

  • Danny's voice is incredible...he totally owns this song!

  • This is one of McFlys' best cover if not their best. I actually posted this on the Backstreet forum (Backstreet's a Springsteen site for those of you that don't know) and about two thirds of the fans on there said this cover was satisfactory or good. And a lot of the fans that said it was rubbish couldn't provide a suitable argument to back it up. So while you're moe than entitled to your opinion, you're quite possibly in the minority here.

  • this needs to be on the next live lounge album!!!

  • danny's voice is gorgeous :)

  • oh man awesome cover cant believe it

  • Not as good as the original, but still. Pretty good.

  • I think they have done a pretty good of this song! it is really hard to cover such an amazing song by someone so respected.

    danny's voice is sooo gorgeous love it!

  • can anyone tell me what does it say in the banner across the mirror behind tom?

  • it's just a christmas banner. :)

  • this is actually amazing!!!

    <3 dannys voice!

  • Ffs what is your fucking problem!? It's not like they've released the song or anything and it's not just 'preadolescent girls' who like them, I know older people who like them too. Anyway, I'm not really bothered about you liking McFly or not, it just pisses me off how you diss them on a page loads of McFly fans are going to be on. Knob head.

  • OK there, i appreciate your opinion, but its a cover, plenty of people have done covers! they don't only do covers, and they rarely release them unless its for charity!

  • I agree

  • i'm a fucking idiot. aged 21, music teacher, a profesional cello player. and have a degree in classical music. excuse me for liking great music. and i'm the one who actually doesn't like bruce springsteen. this song's great though. and mcfly did a really great job. so, fuck off. thanks :D XxX

  • i love this cover...they are really good.tom and danny are really great!!! i hear this song everyday and it always makes my mood!!!

  • has anyone got the mp3 for this ????/

    plz plz plz send it to me !

  • good job, does need more drums though...It was one of the Boss' most powerful tunes.

  • Nice. Ofc it doesn't beat the original Born To Run by Bruce himself. But that will never happen so... =P

    This is very cool. :)

  • Ah... one thing... The drums are too soft. It need more POWER! Bigger drums, bigger sound.

  • i love it.

  • This is awesome (:

    Espesh as Danny really likes Bruce Springsteen so he should be really happy with this xD

    Well done guys x

  • does everyone not have something better to do than argue over youtube? quite sad really... makes me laugh. Well just wanted to say i think they did a good job =]

    no one come attack me now, i was just stating my opinion =\

    people on youtube these days, clean mad if you ask me.

    Almost every video has some kind of arguement on it!

  • love mcfly! love this cover! awesome vocals from danny and tom! totally unique! always makes me smile. all you haters its your opinions but personally my opinion is that it rocks and is good to listen to!

  • dis iz d problem wit covers...

    a band or singer tries 2 honour a song or artist n all dey get is flak 4m der h8ers....

    in my opinion, mcfly iz not tryin 2 b lyk bruce, n in fact danny idolizies him....

    i jus think dat they r tryin 2 do justice 2 a gr8 song....

    so quit criticzin dem!!

    i LOVE u MCFLY!!!!

  • all of u tht hate mcfly. drop dead

    they have talent, your blind if you cant see that. mcfly are the best and im not implying that it was THE best cover ever, but it was amazing and it meant a lot to danny, he loves the boss.

  • 2:32- whats with the woman plugging her ears? lol

  • uhh i love this song but um does anyone know if thats a tenor sax?

    its not alto or bari but uhh???

    mcfly <3 (lol i just audio previewed this and he said micflee x] )

  • i love mcfly! and i love this song cause it reminds of my dad. :D

    and i love there cover!!!

  • danny<3

  • this cover is amazing. best Bruce cover iv ever heard

  • oh come on. You're entitled to your own opinion and so are we. If you dislike mcfly, then so be it. You don't have to spread the hate around or diss them. And i think their lyrics are very different now! Not something you'd normally find on the charts would you? Oh well.. whatever flies your kite.

  • Can't take it away from these boys - thats about the best cover i've heard ANYONE do of ANY Springsteen song - I think even he would give it his blessing! good work! (and this is from someone who isn't a McFly fan)
