  • What a joke.

  • amazing song !!!!

  • jeez people.vanessa carlton says more than just bapapapa..listen to like 2:45 on..she completes the song.

  • HE SED FUCKUNG MOM!

  • dylan wrote this song

  • Dang i love this song so much, music back then had so much more meaning to it then it does now. Man i miss those times

  • i hope vanessa carlton hates herself for getting credit for a song where all she says is ooohhh babababap

  • OOOOHHHHH he says "they paved paradise and put up a parking lot".. Makes so much more sense now...

  • @goldsworthyjosh well then go ahead a living in our fucked up society that we have right now... basically what this song is saying. You don't know what you got till its gone... well I am trying to say that people should be listening song with deep meaning, a life lesson, Not about drinking, not about sex , and also not about getting high

  • I didn't realize what I had till it was gone, I regret it

  • Pineapples- my favorite singing fruit

  • Forever Pineapple Head

  • Who the hell IS Maria?

  • This is good music ... I love music that speaks the truth. You know, I understand a lot of the messages artists try to get through these days. I guess this is because as you get older, life gets more screwed up. Another one I like is Miley Cyrus - Climb.

  • wouldn't be here if the was no Vanessa Carlton , she is the idol of billions of people!!!!!!

  • @h2oclewis im here just to see the awesome pineapple.

  • Thumbs up for the talented pineapple.

  • It took me a while to understand the whole pineapple thing...

  • Why is there a pineapple singing in the parking lot? this world is confusing

  • unite all fellow 9gagers

  • I miss the time that music has a deep meaning, right now it is more like getting drunk, high, having sex, and just playing trash.

  • @againtsconformity i like this song but dont be dissing todays songs, thats just being stereotypical, not to mention this is a cover -.-.

  • @againtsconformity That all sounds pretty good to me.

  • too bad joni mitchell's version has so much charm and genuinity. nice try, "counting crows"; close yet no cigar.

  • Comment removed

  • @greensaIIy Ignore that, your just jealous that Joni Mitchell's version doesnt have a Pineapple, nor Vanessa Carlton

  • Tell me someone else sees that the lead singer looks like Josh Peck from Drake and Josh. Just with a badass mustache goatee combo.

  • PINEAPPLE ! PINE + APPLE = ADAM DURITZ ? o.O

  • lol i would fuck myself if the only line I had in a featuring was " ohhhh bapapapa "

  • @mammamia719 you forgot the na na na.. XD

  • this is the only version of this song i like. i can't tolerate the other versions

  • They put em in a tree museum...and they charged the yanks a hundred fukin dollars to lease em

  • Luv this song sooooooo much! Joni Mitchell seriously predicted the future.

  • I remember my brother and sister listening to this song and not having a clue why they were talking about parking lots lol I'm glad I rediscovered it though, it's pretty kool :)

  • @Takumi667 Tumblr?

  • @Takumi667 Hey, you know 9gag? I bet you do, stealing that comment about the pineapple. But you're such a thick person, that you didn't realise that the comment you say on 9gag was written 2 weeks ago, but yours only 6days ago. So, you thought that you could trick everyone in to thinking that your comment is the real one? Well, too bad, you didn't. So stop copying 9gag! Many people would call that a repost. Well, good day to you sir, or m'am, or whatever you are. Farewell.

  • @Takumi667 9gag salutes you sir!

  • My Favourite song when I was little :) 

  • In ireland when this song came out, people thought it was by an Irish singer called Ronan keating and so they were going into record shops asking for the '' new Ronan keating single, paradise''. As a result, counting crows had a top ten hit in Ireland. True story.

  • Is this Hootie?jk lol..Good song!!

  • they paved paradise and put up a parking lot

  • One time when I was like in 6th or 7th grade, this song was stuck in my head but I couldn't remember the name or who sung it, so I looked it up and found out the title and various artists. The next day in music class we were starting our protest song unit with a game, it was my turn to go up and the round was name that song and artist... this was the song... I got after three chords....

  • I fucking love this song :D

  • hahaha Vanessa Carlton hardly deserves any credit for this song, she does fuck all

  • @marklawrence36 How dare you. Vanessa Carlton is truly a national treasure and should be worshiped as such.

  • i always thought it was '' hey paradise put up a fucking life''

  • "you don't know what you got till' it's gone...." true that

  • honestly the advertisement just makes me not want to buy their shit cause it pissed me off

  • @crobichaux3 right on

  • @adamlyons87 They've been really showing soo many more. We get the concept of the necessity of ads earning money, but slow it down a bit please. I'm with on that for sure. Lately, unbearable...

  • @adamlyons87 Here's a tip: Adblock. You're welcome.

  • @adamlyons87 I'd rather wait 30 seconds or less to watch FREE videos than to pay every month for videos here so stop whining because clearly you people don't know that not only do those ads provide the people money for their lives, they also stop us from using up our money.

  • @shawnslyce158 Read my comment again moron. I said, quite clearly, that I'm aware adverts exist to generate money for the advertisers. So your first point is baseless.

    As for your second point - "they also stop us from using up our money" - yes, well done, you understand how basic advertising works. Welcome to the club, no-one was stating that that isn't the way it works.

    Come back when you've got a clue what you're talking about.

  • Comment removed

  • @adamlyons87 i dunno how, but i have never never had an advert. must be my Adblock or something, im not sure....

  • @adamlyons87 oh poor you. free music and you have to wait a whole 30 seconds.

  • I didnt know robert downey jr could sing this good!

  • @TimThinksSo Last I heard this song was like 6 years ago, but at that time I always thought he said "They picked paradise to put up a parking lot"

  • They payed paradise to put up a fucking lie.

  • This song will forever and always remind me of my yr 8 competitive debating for school, our topic was 'are parks better than car parks?' we all ended our arguments with the famous line "you don't know what you've got till it's gone, they paved paradise to put up a parking lot" ..and guess what...we won! :')

  • heard this on radio, dunno the title, only know it's Counting Crows, PLAY ALL THEIR SONGS!!
