Beastie Boys ft. Biz Markie - Bennie And the Jets (The Sounds Of Science)

[laurenmargaux]

I thought this was hilarious when I was a teenager. Now I think it'd be funnier if he was on key the whole time. O Well.

[brandeis71]

This makes me so happy. :)

[ILoveCurves88]

@ @porkfriedbacon WELL PUT! I grew up with the original, N this sounds just like it! N that funk guitar solo is TOO COOL...

[dirtnaps5150]

thats the fuckin biz. he can do whatever the fuck he wants. hes an ugly ass nigga, so what. i guess old dirty bastard is safe cause hes cool.?

[Cavanmore69]

Just listen to the crowd!!! They keep coming in waves. What an awesome cover!

[fuggindoosh]

DIS FUKIN SUKS SHIID DIS NIGGA HAS HIS TONGUE CAUGHT IN A CAN OF GRAPE SODA!

[ragingbull2001]

Yep. Elton is gay. But hes not a faggot. You are a faggot

[ragingbull2001]

youre just a faggot. elton can sing you cunt

[DulvluSpa]

@ragingbull2001

Dude.

Elton John is gay.

A flaming homosexual... Half or more of his fans are pro-gay activists.

And you're calling a hater a faggot?

[phoneboothLC]

i thought this was going to be a mashup , but its awesome1!

[alexinferno13]

@huey980 ur obviously another american with no sense of irony! i feel for you holmes!!!

[huey980]

This guy does a terrible job of the vocals compared to Elton John, the cover just isn't original enough and that just makes me look at how much worse it is than the original.

No offense to Beastie Boy fans.

[oDEADLYPSYCHOo]

@huey980 Its biz markie. Least he tried?

[grotmail1]

@huey980 Oh... You just don't get it.

Try to find him doing it live on Chris Rock's show. It's on YouTube. The fact he can't sing it goes out the window, the man feels the song in ways that we mere mortals never will. I love the original but Biz Markie nails it by not nailing it.

If you don't feel it that's cool but this right here is one of the best covers ever.

[Toomuchtime5798]

@grotmail1 So much this. Elton will always sing his own song better (every artist will), but this guy feels it. Sure, maybe he can't sing, but he relates with the song and that means the song succeeded in it's purpose.

[rtok07]

L-M-F-A-O from 2:49 onwards

[ragingbull2001]

i love this shit but if you think its better than eltons your just a fucking dead person

[MrJon1875]

@ragingbull2001 this version blows Eltons away you fuckin balloon....rather dead than deaf you fuckin halfwit...

[rune87]

cool but without all the (false) people crying behind i may be better!

[Toomuchtime5798]

Would've been better if he didn't sound like he was in a drunken stupor.

[Flipbooktoons]

I'm a big Beastie Boys fan and Biz Markie is cool, but wtf is the Biz saying!

[maestroman7]

@Flipbooktoons Does it matter as long as Biz is saying it?

[Canon60d]

They covered this song! Awesome!

[MsMindlessMusic]

What?

[Bambilicious1251]

This is a pisstake cover, and for good reason, the original is one of my favourite songs but Elton sounds like he's on drugs when he sings it, it's emphasized here.

[Murphdogg4]

Even elton john thinks this version is better

[prettyyboyy25]

@Murphdogg4 i think something is wrong with your ears.

[hasleinavern]

this is clearly taking the piss

[Crabitat]

Greatest cover of all time, methinks.

[rollin5513]

the only words i could understand were benny and the jets..... but great song

[jibbajabba311]

dude has the opportunity to sing an awesome cover and he doesn't even bother to learn the words...lazy and stupid....

[GilbertSmith]

@jibbajabba311 You wouldn't be here listening to this if it were just a good cover. It's a hilarious cover, instead.

[jibbajabba311]

@GilbertSmith maybe for you....to me it sounds like a good song butchered....bad karaoke

[WeAreNotThoseKids]

@jibbajabba311 He's on drugs jeez he's just having the craic

[boozeguzzla]

@UmbrellaTreeFilms hahaaa.... au contraire

[boozeguzzla]

@UmbrellaTreeFilms hahaaaa... au contraire

[wetcattmatt1995]

mmmmm what a great song! way to ruin it guys...*sarcastic applause*

[JjM91084]

whend this song come out?

[kingrob29]

Like 185 I wish I were brave enough to do this version in Kareoki! I'd have to be behind chicken wire like the Blues Bros. LOL

[deanmartini1]

EPIC !

[boozeguzzla]

This version is better than the original. Its a stupid fucking song to begin with. Im glad Biz and the beastie boys put made such a joke out of it. hilarious

[Logan9998]

@boozeguzzla Bennie and the Jets is a fantastic song.

[colbert4pres08]

Of course it sucks. And they know it. But it's hilarious, because most people who sing this song at any time sound exactly like this, lol

[JJKAKEESH]

this is a disgrace to Elton John. This Sucks.

[talooshmaloosh]

@JJKAKEESH I was just about to say the same thing... thank God someone understands

[RincewindsHat66]

@JJKAKEESH I fuckin' dare you to sing any part of this song (besides the chorus) without looking up the lyrics. What's that? You can't? Because nobody can, not even Elton, because it's all gibberish? I thought so. This is an amazing cover.

[JJKAKEESH]

@RincewindsHat66 are you serious? hahahah. they ruin the song in my opinion. i dont see how amazing it is, they butchered it. and elton can sing all the lyrics cause all of it isnt gibberish.. as a matter of fact none of it is.. besides its just an opinion dont get your panties in a bunch.

[ZZBigDennisZZ]

@JJKAKEESH  idiot

[JJKAKEESH]

@ZZBigDennisZZ hahaha another guy that doesnt respect peoples opinions. you resort to calling names cause you have nothing else to say to my comment.

[ZZBigDennisZZ]

@JJKAKEESH Uh no, its your opinion I don't respect because you're a fucking idiot.

[JJKAKEESH]

@ZZBigDennisZZ again with the comments ahaha fuck offfffff

[Demmee]

Sounds like the singer is on some downers but its still good :D

[gadgetgirl23]

you know you just got a ear spankin...curtesy of Biz..n the beatie's..elton is ok ..but i LOVE Mike D!!!!!!and AdRock and MCA ... :P big up Biz M! <3 4evs :)

[gadgetgirl23]

:P hahaaa.. sooooooooooooooooo fuckin funny! love it! <3

[arminhammer123]

My ears didnt know if it was good or bad.............

So i got a eargasm!!!! This is way better than Justin Bieber.

Vote up you had a eargasm and hate justin bieber

[redthatsellingit]

A BIG 'O' for Awesome.

Heard this for the first time today, LOL absolutely fantastic!!!!

[blown22]

The first time I heard this particular version I laughed so much I was crying and my stomach and jaw hurt. Still has the same effect on me now.

[tomoom165]

Lol, what?

[mrbrockpeters]

When Elton John did this song it was awesome! When Biz Markie covered it, well that's just EPIC!

[angeltosome]

The crowd fuckin' roared whenever he didn't know the words.

[palmtree600]

lol he says shes got electric boobs

[porkfriedbacon]

14 people didn't like this song? how mingin of them!

[ladykitty1993]

@porkfriedbacon They are Justin Bieber's fan and they don't know, what's is a good music. Sorry for my bad english.

[alana8]

@ladykitty1993 never apologize about your english.

[ladykitty1993]

@alana8 Ok

[kingrob29]

@ladykitty1993 You have great taste! This is a true classic!

[ladykitty1993]

@kingrob29 Classic is undying! I hate Bieber's music, this is shit for big S... ;/

Nirvana forever and this song (Bennie and the Jets)...

[OhHolyWow]

@ladykitty1993

Appolagy accepted. Everyone has moments of bad engrish *trololol face*

[lemonrind]

People who are tone deaf should stick to rapping.

[paypatone]

@lemonrind i heard he was really tone death, like shit 10 years ago but i cant find shit on if he really is, funny.

[aluminiumsloep]

Is he stoned?sounds like he is~@%$

[MizBubble]

I love Elton John's original version. BUT this is outrageously funny, so I love this too. XD Sounds so drunk. LMFAO. It's terrible and brilliant.

[eraseragenda]

biz markie should get together with ozzy and record a new album

[brismike65]

Is this meant to be a joke???? I like the original but this is funny as and not at all disrespectful really.

[trexgunkillyoudead]

i like how he sounds drunk as fuck

its a nice touch

[haggidubious]

One of my alltime favourite drunken renditions...so loose it's out of control!

[Coolyoshi64]

my manager played this at work at the coffee shop. i was in tears laughing and couldn't serve customers anymore. i don't think anyone else even realized what was really going on, people must have thought i was crazy. this is one of the funniest things ive EVER heard. better than the original

[CitySkin09]

I love it because Biz sounds like he's all fawkked up singing...CLASSIC!!

[kingrob29]

Biz is like buckwheat from saturday night live. He takes a song and makes it his own(lol).

[abc123ajm]

hahahah he was drunk wen he sung this I LUV IT!!! sooo funnyyy

[ffffffug]

this song is gonna make me kill myself because i know ill never hear anything better again!!!! i forgot about this 3rd grade shit!!!!!!!!!!!

[droppedit2wce]

@ffffffug

[eezysqueezy]

Benny and the downs kid....

[droppedit2wce]

@eezysqueezy

[eezysqueezy]

@droppedit2wce Dude, calm the fuck down. I love this, but it does sound like a downs kid singing....which is part of it's charm.

My advice to you is to chill and smoke a joint or something,

PS - Lil Wayne can kiss my balls.

[doowkcaj]

craps all over anything elton has ever done! and if you disagree you're a disgrace to the human race.

[blown22]

It's SOOOOOO bad that it's SOOOOOO good!

[C7410N]

it's supposes to be funny...how he hears the words, that's all, since it's a song with words that aren't clear to being with, lol

[GeezuzKhrist119]

if u guys think this is bad. look up old dirty bastard and macy gray - dont go breaking my heart. thoses 2 sounds look a bunch of drunken retards on crack lol.

[MADD4MUSIC2]

Is he drunk?

[theULTIMATETetris]

Sounds drunk, but I like it.

[Hulk2k6]

@theULTIMATETetris

No different that modern Elton John (He has slurred his verses for the last decade or so)

[hardlines4]

Abosolute TRASH..Thugs that can not sing and screwing up a good jam!!!

[Earlwood]

@hardlines4 Excuse me, but you don't seem to be familiar to the biz, let me redirect you to DEEEZ NUUUTS!

[hardlines4]

@Earlwood Wow, thats a good one EARL

[Earlwood]

@hardlines4 Nigga can't be named Earl? Fuck off, you;re off the the rail, you Elron bitch, sorry.

[hardlines4]

@Earlwood GoodBye Earl!!!!!! lol

[Earlwood]

@hardlines4 College done fucked your brain, my apologizes.

[EimajSsof]

@hardlines4 Far from thugs homeboy, super dope on the over generalizations I see though.

[silentscope1234]

WTF IS THIS SHIT

[Earlwood]

Fact: This track is the shit

FACT: THE BIZ NEVER SLEEPS!

[kingrob29]

I put a copy of this cd in a jukebox in a local bar. I'd play it to piss people off! They'd be like oh great Elton John. Then they'd think about it a second and be like What the Hell is going on?!!!

[cschwa17]

best version of this song ever

[funkasoris]

Fact.

[Rev13100]

i bet $500 there drunk

[mike22122]

they did the music toodels

[toodels024]

Haha this is just Biz Markie the Beastie boys are not in this..

[JimmyCrackCorn72]

@toodels024

Beastie Boys are in this, I take it they're playing the instruments. This song is from Sounds of Science beastie boys anthology and to be honest i always thought one of the B boys were singing this, no idea it was Biz Markie

[mcbrizzle82]

hahahahahaha

[tonoslim]

that voice is impeccable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

[blaker5923]

drunkn igger

[g0or0o]

lmao there so wasted!

[DarthCrimson]

the best version ever ;-)

[BebopCoIa]

electric boobs

[gmccall22]

Elton John should shoot all four of these dudes, especially Biz for that terrible ending

[dsmnug]

he's gotta be drunk

[emptybluecows]

This Beastie Boys version is AWESOME!!

I love how they slur all the lyrics together!!

Their humor is genius :D

BennyBennyBennyBeeeennnaahhh

[Blamango]

god this is terrible

[ChaosReckoning]

I don't think you get humor.

[yacouch]

Biz Mark is hilarious!!!

[cosmic53933]

dusted

[TheFacelessK]

tribute ??? elton john still preforms

[Fire34]

LETS DO THIS!!

[cspeeder]

Goatsie rockkin out!!!

[radiohead93]

SPILL CREW REFRENCE WIN!

[woodj071394]

beastie boys are the shit... but this song sounds like it was sung by a 40 year old man with down syndrome and a speach impediment

[kip9999]

That would be close to true, the Diabolical Genius, The BIZ MARKIE!

[leonel1993]

GET TO DA CHOPPA!!

[larsreal9]

Let's do this, Biz! Nobody beats him

[mderamosjr]

awesome

[equest943]

This is pretty much genius. You have the Biz, who, of course, nobody beats, and then the Beastie Boys who are just great as a band anyways.

[snowmanwilly]

wot an insult to Elton John.

[DigitalTransfer]

Actually it's a tribute...

[bobbygnosis]

No kidding.

This is one of the most awsome things I've heard all year. I find that since the world is going to shit I'm trying to enjoy whatever I can thse days and this is - no joke - fucking AWSOME.

Cheers to ridiculous and freaking awsome music.

[snoogie2k]

Love that song....

[COMPACTASS1]

i rember this one. grand royal #1?

let me know if im wrong!!!!!!

[DigitalTransfer]

I just learned of this and some one said that it was indeed from Grand Royal. I was born in '84 too young to have gotten the magazine (plus i didnt get into hip hop until 7th/8th grade and didnt get into rap until highschool).

[werea34]

The Clown Prince God of the Southwest Atlantic, aka Biz Markie, the worldest greatest

Beastie Boys are pimp too

[swordsongs]

I love this cover so much. Biz you are the greatest, man! To all the haters-I love you too!

-jelly d.

[Oregonduck2008]

thanks for all the brilliant insight telling us this is an Elton John song (scipio--Sinderella etc). Its a goof man! Biz with the Beasties. Have some fun and relax...If you really want to offended by a cover check out Celine Dion doing YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG!!! Funny and horrifying!

[LanceCena112]

lol its like a mumble except for bennie and the jets

[phoenixicarus]

Nobody beats the Biz.

[scipio241]

this is a horrible version of this song, listen to the original by elton john

[TGFIFTY5]

i just gained even more mad respect for biz markie covering this song this shit is hilarious haha this song is a classic and by him covering this does not even ruin it in anyway its like he put his own style to it, but where do the beastie boys come in to this?

[meniri15]

the beastie boys are playing instruments

[bubbaflo12]

this song it the shit, i can listen to this and son of neckbone back to back for hours

[houseofflyingskates]

This is a fucken classic!!! Some people are just asleep at the wheel.

[Eric021922]

this dude is fuckin terrible. sounds like hes wasted

[Sinderella1975]

it was originally sung by elton john.

[chrisyh106]

bennie and the jets

[zinidan]

wats the name of the tune he's singin to?

[rambleonrose93]

@zinidan bennie and the jets - elton john

[zinidan]

ahh ,cheers pal

[rambleonrose93]

yeah man no problem

[wilton969]

It's lost on some people...this is a classic track.

[kingrob29]

@wilton969 It's lost on people who are hard core Elton fans or have sticks up their keisters. I suppose that these are not mutually exclusive.

[wilton969]

@kingrob29 too true....

[lemonrind]

@wilton969 It's lost on people who have a sense of pitch.

[SaintIzzle]

The crowd response is louder than the haters on here! ha haa

[Fuzz8buzz]

This is fkn brilliant!!!!! ;D

[betabrain]

this is why you don't do karaoke drunk....

[drn8383fuse]

i think it's the only way to do karaoke

[Bvan93]

sounds like he has down syndrome

[scrifty]

lmaoo that mad my day V

but really elton should sue him for ruining such a good song.

[muffemod]

best bersion eber

[kajohnson80]

What a great rendition! I love it!

[logman135]

This is the dumbest thing i ever heard. :(

[muffemod]

your head was dumb

[scumbagstyle]

what the hell man? i know this prolly sounds ignorant, but what are we supposed to dig about this? is there some underlying irony in a wasted novelty act that notoriously cannot sing butchering a song by a competant artist? i know looking for a lot of deeper meaning in a beastie boys song is an excercise in futility, and that is part of their charm. so what are they doing with biz at all? i suppose i just don't get it. any help would be appreciated.

[Sinsemilla4u]

This is Biz Markie singing...it was recorded live and it was just a joke of a thing, no need to look for deep meaning in it at all, just some guys being silly and having fun. Biz Markie was a collaborator with the Beastie Boys on Check Your Head, Ill Communications, Hello Nasty and Sounds of Science (the Beastie Boys Anthology which this song is off of). That's why he's with the Beastie Boys on this.

[Miroku6127]

so i don't get it. are the beastie boys actually sining?

[mrlaze333]

no they just released it on one of their albums, for whatever reason.

[boozeguzzla]

Awesome. Best cover ever

[thearcanist]

lol that guy sounds like biggie smalls singing

[bresmith]

You mean biggie smalls sounds like that guy.

[tailbluntstall]

tru dat brotha tru dat
