Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Much Too Young

[glavinwife]

Uh, they are Me First, not Me Too.

[deathprince]

All this talk of how they're the greatest cover band ever. Can anybody name another cover band that isn't local?

[squidsquiid]

SO GOOD holy shit.

[Nigganechi]

Fuckin' A! Chris Gaines rocks!!!

[storeyboppers]

i love garth brooks and thought this song was actually a decent cover for a pop punk band etc

[cheezkid]

this band rules the woooorld

[TheGodMan69]

SO FUCKIN OLD!!!!!!

[ladylou1978]

i dont think ive heard anything by the gimme gimme's i dont like lol everytime the excel their selves and yet im the first to complain at covers

[nathtay1986]

is that fat mike on bass? or melvin? or neither haha? becoz i know on their love their country tour melvin played a few shows, he played down here in aussie

[DomesticWarfare]

looks like mike to me.

[trancedj]

@nathtay1986 Definitely sounds like Mike talking at the end, so I'd assume it was him playing bass...

[mcvideo8686]

@trancedj

that was joey ...who got the last word in

[nicks93kblazer]

this is BA.

[geoffbaehr]

love this track! love the GB version too...

Part of me wants this band to be huge n another wants to keep em just to meself! :D

[aug61945]

sucks

[dleblanc]

Interesting cover. I like how it started off more country and then went into a typical punk song even with the common turnarounds on the chorus. I'm a Garth Brooks fan, so for the fans who said this is a big dishonor to the original... It's not.

[xSilverUnicorn]

Awe geez, people! It's meant to be tongue in cheek! After all, they only cover songs they LIKE! Just have fun with it, cut loose a little, and let their craziness carry you away for a little while. Really, all they are is the zaniest cover band ever. They found a way to make going to see a cover band a unique and fun experience. They know they can't be better than the original, so why try? Why not just have fun instead? Let them make you laugh and smile. Really, that's all they want.

[lexicondevil88]

actually on there live album they say there taking songs that suck and making them good...

[RuggdLiLFox]

I'll always love the awesome humor these guys have.

[jetrx78]

greatest cover band ever!!

Wow, you actually figured that out?

That's the whole point. They are adept at mocking commercial, boring music. They make what is otherwise unpalatable fun to hear.

[DrewtheJew]

...they're not mocking it. They like the songs they play, as in, the original songs.

[honkytonk58]

Huh. Thanks for pointing out that the original version was unpalatable. And here I thought it was actually good, what with GB having a national audience and all. I guess now I'll have to change my standards to include purposefully dischordant renditions of other people's music. Seriously, you just made my point-if the best you can do is to mock someone else, why bother?

[adamcharney]

Please don't make honkytonk58 angry, Drew. The doctor says he's not supposed to get excited.

[jranner]

AWESOME

[TheMedium79]

i think barry white s singin.

[Savoie1666]

[cheezkid]

BEST. BAND. EVERRRR

[drgodinho]

BEST BAND EVER!

[latoronja22]

EXXXXELENTE !

[mimmoamerelli]

those guys rule !

[honkytonk58]

I can't believe somebody actually booked this band. They totally F***ed up the song. This was a joke, right?

[mattref]

I'm not sure - but they told us to boo them because they were feeling homesick

[Finlandia]

Appears you are unfamiliar with the band.

[honkytonk58]

I'm not. It's one of my favorite songs though, and I don't think they did it any favor.  Whatever trips their triggers I guess. Sorry if I pissed anyone off. I'll listen to some of their other stuff, maybe then I'll understand what they were trying to do here.

[honkytonk58]

Just listened to 'Goodbye Earl' and 'O Sole Mio'. I liked them both, but I still think this one could have been done better. They are pretty good.

[winnetouch]

Now argument to me why the song is bad? People somehow always flag videos and NEVER FUCKING TELL WHY!!! It angers me. The gimme gimmes are a terrific band...

[honkytonk58]

The original song was kind of melancholy and serious. The first part of their version was similar (although I thought their harmony and tone quality could have been better), but halfway through, where the beat picked up, sounded like they were mocking it. I don't get that part of it - to me it says you don't really give a shit about anything. Since I really like the original Garth Brooks version, it made ME angry.

[adamcharney]

ANGRY? Oh my God! That's awful! Whatever did you do?

[mjkorbel]

@honkytonk58 Fucking kidding me? Man....Punk shit. they are a punk cover band

[d1ceh]

really surprises me how well they pull off the whole country genre, good song, good performance, good cd, and i want to see them live.

[kylemaxwell]

Not as bad as some of the other live videos but the audio quality is still thin

[maxthehooker]

oh man! thanks so much for commenting because you know, they read this shit constantly and actually care about how "thin" their live, one microphone off of a shitty camcorder, audio is. fuckin' tool.
