  • well, Shane is the only one i think about whenever i hear the intro....i dunno..i just think about him.....

  • I don't even listen to Linkin Park, but this is very calm and melodic. Easily one of my favorite covers on the show.

  • Bands like this used to be awesome, now they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all sound just the same.

  • @SuperBromander exactly.

  • @SuperBromander if there is ONE band that doesn't sound like any other band, it's Linkin Park.. Sorry bro.. You could've said that for any band, just not Linkin Park.. (And I'm not even a fan, just someone who listened to their albums, specially the last one, that doesn't sound like any other album you can find)

  • @MrSebbySullivan You must be def.

  • I want to watch all first 3 seasons again right now!

  • None of the covers even compare to the original

  • linkin park is as bad as rise against, stop ya crying you little kids.

  • Weeds has gotten like 30 covers of this song, and they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all sound just the same. Then people take these covers which are played by different bands but are still all clearly the same tired song, and they argue about which one is best, and buy covers of a song that has already been done a dozen or so times, not even realizing the intense irony of the situation. Listen to the lyrics again and take another look around the inside of your metaphoric box.

  • @rottmist welcome to Earth p.s.- your statement is obvious we all just have our own opinions of what we like even if it is the same damn song just done by different bands

  • @rottmist do you just go around to every cover of this song and post the same comment? this is the second time i've seen this. i would think someone so worldly and all knowing would have something better to do. if you don't like the song why would you listen to every cover ever made. so you can bash them and show everyone how awesome you are? don't kid yourself by thinking you are better than the rest of us

  • Great and innocent better than Rise A. :D

  • what the fuck?! I was expecting Rock n Roll, not this porn music, goddamn it!

  • This is something that i could sleep to :)

  • I love that they changed it for every episode after the first season, so creative and interesting but it did take extra the amount of work for them to chose it ....always gives me the anticipation for the next episodes theme...........i never want to miss a moment.

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

  • Rise Against, The Shins and the original by Malvina Reynolds are the best versions.

  • I like the original. Sorry guys.

  • This blows so fucking hard it isn't even funny....

  • Was anyone else disappointed that the episode didn't actually come one XD

  • :D I LOVE THIS SHOW AND LOVE THIS FUCKING BAND :D

  • linkin park sounds like a bunch of faggots in this one, Rise against is soooo much better in this song

  • @grimwolf800 So music that is down-tempo and laid back, or doesn't feature enough guitar to satisfy your narrow, juvenile taste in music, means that they sound like homosexuals? Interesting.

    I think the Rise Against version is one of the most contrived things I've ever heard. "Hey man! The kids will love it if we put a punk beat over this!" They twist it out of the original 3/4 time signature into this horrendously awkward 4/4 D-Beat. And the screaming... priceless! Would be a great parody song

  • @Mic1904 Lol...Do you even know what contrived means? The Rise Against cover is better than this piece of shit for several reasons...1) It doesn't sound like it belongs on Kidz Bop. 2)It's a completely different take on a previously mediocre song. 3)putting a punk beat and twisting the original 3/4 time signature into a 4/4 D-beat and screaming is something Chester(LP's SCREAMER) clearly couldn't come up with...You're so closed minded that you can't accept a version that's better that the 1st

  • @13fnf Thanks for your (somewhat condescending) reply. I’m well aware of what ‘contrived’ means (I’m not in the habit of employing words whose meaning I’m unaware of) and it sums up my feelings on the Rise Against cover exactly: that they’ve squeezed the song awkwardly into the mold of a 4/4 punk song, and that it doesn’t feel like it has come about naturally. Or to put it another way: it sounds contrived.

  • @Mic1904 I guess the moral is why would they go back to something edgier when they can make life easier by making crappy stuff like this and selling millions of copies to people who are stupid enough to buy it. Nickelback/Puddle of Mudd/Hinder/Seether/Theory of a Dead Man all have a huge fan base because they all sound the same and they all sound like crap...but people are dumb enough to buy what the radio tells them to...Does it make them artists? No. Does it make the music good? No.

  • @Mic1904 I suppose you like all those bands as well...because, after all, you ARE telling me that a band "going soft" isn't a reason to lose interest in them. I guess you could think of it like this...Metallica stopped making (In my opinion) "Good" music after 1993...Why would I want to listen to crap from any of their more recent offerings? How many Slayer CDs have you seen that sound remotely different than their style? None. Motorhead? Same way.

  • @13fnf I’m certainly not closed minded in regards to music (after all, I’ve never called anyone else’s music a “piece of shit”), and a quick browse through my music would reveal this. Incidentally, you'll find some Rise Against there. I object to your suggestion that Rise Against’s approach is somehow so staggeringly original or inventive that I’m too close minded to get it, or that it is beyond LP who, by contrast, did something unexpected and stripped back. You’re free to disagree however.

  • @Mic1904 So you're telling me that Linkin Park did something "unexpected" by stripping something back just like they've done since Meteora? How is that unexpected?  They went soft. My best friend used to be the biggest LP fan ever...until they started doing crap like this...Yes...It's crap...

  • @13fnf How is it unexpected? Ask your friend. It sounds like he didn't expect it.

    This was four years ago. The 'expected' thing then for LP to do would be a more up-tempo, guitar-oriented version. They did the opposite. Hence: it is unexpected. Whether it's good or not is personal preference.

    It's interesting that you said I was 'close minded', yet your reasoning for your dislike of LP is "they went soft" and therefore their music is "crap". You're welcome to your opinion, I just disagree.

  • @Mic1904 Maybe to you, the "expected thing" was for them to go up-tempo...After Meteora, they had no edge to go back to...it wasn't hard to figure out where they were going to go from there...well maybe to you...

    Lol...My dislike for LP has nothing to do with them going soft. I never cared for them much to begin with. I just can't believe they would resort to making Kidz Bop songs like Good Charlotte. But hey, if you like that kind of stuff, by all means...IN MY OPINION, it SUCKS.

  • @Mic1904 I know you're trying to tell me that I'm wrong for telling you this is crap...but the fact of the matter is that you're wrong for telling me I'm wrong because you're the one who's "Opinion" it is that the Rise Against version is "contrived." Basically what you're saying is that you're allowed to your opinion, and I'm allowed to mine, but my opinion is wrong...However, you're entire argument is wrong...Therefore, you have no leg to stand on.

  • @Mic1904 That fact alone would indicate that you are, in fact, closed minded.

  • @Mic1904 Basically all I'm saying is YOU'RE WRONG.

  • Lol I personally think Rise Against's cover disgraced the song entirely...

  • wtf this version is better than the Rise Against one... the singer of Rise Against kinda... well fucks it up with his hillbilly screaming

  • this is so cuuute :)

  • todas tienen su encanto

  • Regina Spektor's cover gave me chills.

  • I wasn't expecting it to be this good. Good job LP.

  • sounds gay

  • whoever says Linkin Park has a chick singer is WRONG! Also, whoever says Chester sung this version of Little Boxes is also WRONG! They changed the beat, nothing more. Linkin Park is a good band, and I do admit Rise Against has a great version of the song. They just kept it simple and changed only the beat of the song, which makes this version of Little Boxes really good. I still love Billy Bob Thorton's version though. He's a great singer and he makes it really charming.

  • wow its crazy to finish season 6 and look back to the very begging and to see how far we've come I have to say that weeds was an incredibly unique and epic journey from the story of a lil soccer mom selling dime backs in the suburbs to drug trafficker then to mexican cartel trophy wife to a fugitive on the run, were gonna miss you Nancy Botwin cant wait for season 7, so sad to see you go...

  • That guy from rise against can scream with all his power and he cant get near chester's high voice, he could scream on this one like he does on given up, no more sorrow etc, but he wanted this song to be cute and calm. I really love this one.

  • this version sucks so much ass, I like the new LP but this is really gay. RA all the way

  • all this love for the rise against one, but can we please admire the real champion? the decemberists version!

  • I like the beat.

  • Linkin Park's singer is a chick? I didn't know that. RA version is the best.

  • @ChannelTheBadass Right, so the Linkin Park singer is a chick because he has a vastly greater pitch range than the Rise Against singer?

    The Rise Against version sounds cobbled together. It also sounds as if they're trying to parody the original song, rather than cover it, as if they thought "Hey, imagine if we did the song to a punk beat. The kids will love that!"

    I think Rise Against are a pretty good band, but their Little Boxes cover is just silly. At least this has some thought behind it.

  • @Mic1904 I honestly thought the singer was a chick I wasn't being sarcastic. Tim McIlrath blows whoever that is out of the water. Just listen to some real Rise Against, one of their own songs, and then tell me that Linkin Park's singer is better.

  • @ChannelTheBadass I listen to plenty of real Rise Against songs, since I do actually quite like them. I don't consider the vocals to be particularly stand-out though. I watched both bands back-to-back on a recent KROQ live webcast, and I wasn't that impressed with Tim AT ALL. I like his raw attitude to singing, but I don't think he's in the same league as Chester Bennington, vocally. See what you think dude, hope you like:

  • @Mic1904 You know I'm just trolling on the wrong video. I'm going to go troll on the one I like.

  • @ChannelTheBadass Yeah.. Linkin Park's singer is better...

  • @cheddarmann I'm going to go troll somewhere else because you guys are blind.

  • best version clearly, rise against wasn't that good

  • DAMNI DIDNT KNOW THIS WAS LINKIN PARK O_O

  • They both suck.

  • Personally the Rise Against version is way better because of its veriety, and if you dont like the Rise Against version and say that they suck because its "Just Screaming" than you obviously havent heard Swing Life Away, Roadside, or Everchanging acoustic, after youve heard those your opinion on the band might change plus all thier songs have a hidden possitive message and show you the kinds of bullshit there are in this world CHESTER DOES NOT SOUND LIKE A CHICK! RA & LP Ive always like RA More

  • excellent intro with LP ;)

  • fuck that rise against noise. this one's the sickest

  • Hey, that sounds fun! Thanks for posting it!

    I just started wartcihng this show but already I'm loving it. Right now I'm halfway through frst season.

  • Rise Againts is shit.

  • rise agaist have the best cover =)

  • thats sounds gay xD rise against is much better

  • Can i know where the f*ck is gone the Agrestic sings ? Majestic what the fawck ?

  • @Ph0b0ph1l3 Watch the show, you'll understand what's going on.

  • little boxes on the hill side little boxes made out of ticky toky little boxes XD

  • he tries to hard to keep it "original" wheres the personal interpretation and output that a cover is supposed to be?

  • i like this weeds intro but i think the weeds intro from rise against is the best =)

  • sounds liike someone put the lead singer's balls in a vice

  • I watch this for Chester Bennington! :D

  • the rise against cover and linkinpark cover are the best xD

  • Wow this sounds gay but whats too expect from linkin park they totally sold out... the rise against one is pretty fucking awsome though.. very sarcastic.

  • @apportlst FULL EPISODES AT NETFLIX BITCH

  • hard to believe this is linkin park, sounds more female-ish then chesters voice.

  • @WickedDragon86 its been like that since minutes to midnight, they were crap from that album onwards in my opinion...

  • @DoomsdayXIII agreed

  • I sang this to a baby and it put him to sleep

  • Wow, this is Linkin Park? 0.o

  • LOLWUT

  • oh how sweet his voice sounds... rofl!

  • That song is from a chilean compositor called Victor Jara...

    search for "Las Casitas del Barrio Alto" and hear, if you now a little spanish you'll recognize the same lirycs and music

  • @Ugimatias Nah, Reynolds wrote the original version in 1963. Jara wrote his Spanish version in 1971.

  • Rise Against is still the best cover

  • Death Cab version is without a doubt the best intro

  • @menano182 the rise against is the best

  • @brayanb91746 Indeed.

  • this just shows theres more to linkin park than just hip hop nu metal rock stuff. Only thing I don't like is the beat, it sounds like midi

  • WHY would you get Linkin Park to cover this song? Why? Bad and sad

  • Fail...what were they thinking? It's like Death Cab for Cutie BS.

  • I love Weeds. My husband loves Linkin Park. Normally, I skip the intro but when I read this online, of course someone was all ready to watch with me, lol. I agree though, it's kinda suckish.

  • WHOOOA Did not know this was Linkin Park.

  • @devourallfruit Hah! I know! I just watched this episode on netflix and didn't pay attention to the end like a normally do. I was actually looking up the rap intro from episode 7 or so of Season 3, and I looked at the other videos on the right as it was playing. That's when i saw it: Linkin Park?!? wtf, LOL

  • Rise against version is much better

  • @ntuttles bullshit!

    

  • @ntuttles no.

  • wow i had no idea chester could actually hit some of those pitches

  • I miss this theme song. >_<

  • @crazyrandom3 yea, season 4&5 dont even use it anymore:[

  • @duhmasolL33T yeah i miss that, and i mostly miss conrad. The show went downhill after conrad wasn't there

  • I always knew that was Chester when he would sing in sing in songs like Breaking the Habit and Points of Authority that when the multi-layered girly voices would sing that it was still him.

  • why does it say Majestic? Isn't Agrestic?

  • @wilson809isback Agrestic merged with their neighboring town called Majestic

  • @wilson809isback changed in season 3

  • @wilson809isback They changed it... like remember when that super christian dude came in and had this plan...? like thats when they renamed it majestic...

  • @ All people who've commented before me.

    Stop wanking about Chester sounding like a child/woman.

    It just fits okay? Its written by a grandma that used to write country and blues, what do you expect -_-

  • Chester <3

  • i watch this show at weedstv . org

  • chester sounds like a chick on this one

  • rise against does it way better

  • wow i didn't believe it was chester at first. sort of sound like a woman...he has an amazing voice. wide range.

  • i watch this show at weedstv . org

  • It sounds like a child song :)

  • the rise against version is better ;)

  • check out the rise against one it is awesome

  • WOOT! CHESTER BENNINGTON!

  • sounds like a frikkin woman

    

  • @Zelenywicca it isnt

    !?!!?!!?!?

  • Chester?! That is soooooo sweet. I love this guy :)

    Linkin Park and Rise Against ♥

  • @TimMcIlrathRA YEAHHHHH

  • awesome.. ooohh i miss this show!

  • Haha its the cute version

    And Rise Against have the Hardcore Version :P

    Why do people hate this one so much? I meen yes Chester sings pretty low and childish in this song, so what? it fits, and it shows that he can do other things than scream "SHUT UP WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!"

  • Voice could use work, but the beat is pretty good. Not bad.

  • LP music is quite nice, but you can't even define his gender in this song.

  • Sorry fans of LP but Rise Against version is sooo much better :>

  • I say no! They ruined JayZ, they ruined this too.

  • @lambongxyz thats just your hatred for linkin park. I think they're a little cheezy but this is fine sounds like the classic(there's no scratcher). and I like the jayzee linkin park thing because they took out the cheezmo parts where chesters all like" shut up, shut up when I'm talking to you".

  • yaayayaay love it soo funny and sooooooooo much better than the original one... CHESTER and LP 4 LIVE

  • Im a huge linkin park fan and weeds fan and when I watched this episode I had no idea that was LP it sounds like woman.

  • Not an LP fan, but this is more pleasant to listen to than all of their stuff, really.

  • when selia decides to make agrestic a drug free community, she puts up cameras and she even does a news interview for the unveiling of the first camera in agrestic...in the into where it shows 0:11 the fountain, you can clearly see 3 security cameras in place. they are there in the pilot for season 1 as well, so obviously celias cameras were not the first cameras in Agrestic.

  • this is one of the best ones! cant beat the shins tho!!!

  • This is an abomination to this song.

  • @uglyxorgan better than rise againsts

    im not saying theirs is bad. its just not good to scream little boxes

  • As a whole, I think Rise Against is better than Linkin Park. Not their versions of the song, but their bands in general. Linkin Park is just one giant tool divided into little tools and I fucking hate them.

  • righty, you said this is an abomination, how about rise againsts?

    BTW, i love linkinpark, more so pre m2m

  • I said this was an abomination because Linkin Park is a horrible band. It has nothing to do with whose version is better, its the fact that they got them to do it at all. I havent heard the Rise Against version, but apparently its screaming. I think thats way more fucking original than this. I think the point of having all different artists doing the song is to give it a different genre each time, and LP just did it the same way as the original. Again..tools.

  • Well, then what about the rap version?

    It's all about the personal interpretation of the song. If you like it, that's another thing.

    And besides, the song is about individualism.

  • @seriouskano2 well yeah, true

    i love all these versions, including rise againsts.

    i just find it weird when some one reckons screamo is fine but lullaby-thingy is an abomination.

    its all cool, dont wanna start a flame war

  • @giantman121 too bad the death cab and regina spektor versions both kick rise against's ass.

  • Wow. WOW. Way to fuck this up Linkin Park. This is not supposed to be a fucking lullaby. RISE AGAINST FOR LIFE!

  • have you heard the other versions? a stupid way to support a stupid band

  • Hey Johny Y U Hate lp becoz they're best huh tell me they r fucking awesome best band in world ....Johnny u really got Problems....LP4Evr!

  • Anyone know the song what plays in the background when Nancy asks Guillermo for protection next to the BBQ. Please anyone let me know. TY

  • bah i was hoping it would be mike.

  • If you want to hear a better version check out Rise Against's. Completely different sound than the original but in some ways better.

  • Sounds like a fucking Casio keyboard.

  • Sounds kinda like a girl lol

  • yea.. i hate linkin park

  • NICEEEEEEEE(L)

  • Chester Bennington!! nice..

  • I heard the Linkin Park version and thought to myself,"what the F*** is this, a damn lullibye ?" Terrible cover, IMO.

  • It's Chester your deaf.

  • I wish that this could be longer lol.

  • @Smaster116 that's what she said

  • @Smaster116 thats what she said.

  • @Smaster116 dammit jk someone beat me to it..

  • Weeds is awesome...ver yunique having different singers/bands covering each episode

  • oh beautiful :O

  • Comment removed

  • LP ROCKS!

  • uh... whoever said this was a contest? I miss all the covers of this song and its the VARIETY that rocks!
