  • this is worse than crap...

    

  • @curefan420 said the liar

  • I don't know what the big deal is....

    The Cure is .... one of those bands that defined a generation of music. - Thats kind of the point. - Don't get caught up in which version is better or not.

    Its fucking lame to even try to distinguish between the two.

  • Okay, I like The Get Up Kids but what the hell is this? just, no.

  • its not even about if you like this version better. fact: this version is better.

  • @j0bzz - lmao @ this is better than the original done by the cure?? what drugs are you smoking and why arent u sharing??

  • this is one of my favorite cure covers. so sweet!

  • better than the original. so what?

  • WOW! Hell Yeah! Love The Get Up Kids! Listening to a lot of TGUK, Hey You!, The Offspring, Blondie, Green Day, Weezer and No Doubt...MORE PUNK IN 2011 !!!

    Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaay dope. Cool edge, and cute chick singer too :-) ...you should check em out

    search "hey you band taking over"

  • @ChutesandJammers wait.. i thought you said more punk in 2k11.. none of those bands you listed are punk.

  • GRRR ANGRY ALL CAPS I SMART

  • OH NO GUISE, IT'S A BAND COVERING A SONG BY ANOTHER BAND BECAUSE THEY LIKE THEIR MUSIC. EVERYBODY FLIP THE FUCK OUT.

  • Nothing beats the original. But this one is the best cover I've heard from the Cure's classic hit.

  • nailed it! total tribute

  • WTF is this crappy version doing in the world. I wanted to pull my hair out due to the fact that this band sucks so bad. Damn!

  • @penguinbluez shut the fuck up! It is ok if u don't like it it is up to you but you don't have to say this band sucks because it is awesome!!!

  • the beginning of their version sounds like footloose!!

  • the start of their version sounds like footloose...

  • Cure version is wayyy better, and I hate this type of music, but the cover actually isn't too bad in all honestly

  • I like this more then The Cure version one!

  • This song is a time machine to high school! It's off the album Eudora, which I figure is named after this tiny town outside of Lawrence not far from Kansas City. I'm so happy to be living in the Get Up Kids' neighborhood after I listened to them so much back in the day.

  • not very good. but i like anyone who tries to cover a song of a myth band

  • I prefer The Cure,of course.

  • @spinthewink you got it reversed bro :O the getup kids covered them instead.

  • @max6hits9ftw he's just trolling around ahah. I hope.

  • @max6hits9ftw im pretty sure hes joking lol

  • @max6hits9ftw trolled

  • @spinthewink FUCKING DUMBASS

  • @spinthewink uhh you got that backwards? Youre so glad the get up kids decided to cover the cure?

  • @spinthewink uhhhhhhhh... what? this song is ollld and yeah, like max said, the kids covered it... lol typo i assume! ;)

  • 19 folks got cancer!

  • you know what, i like this version too!

  • @mrw203056 um some of the greastest artist of all time didnt write their music so you can suck my balls and this is the only song the redid and they did with good reason the other version sounds shit

  • @mrw203056 Although your comment is hilarious and made me laugh out loud, the Get Up Kids have been around since the 1990s and came from Kansas. They are hardly a corporate band, seeing as how they have never really achieved that much fame and were never really signed by anybody big. Their music is heartfelt, and this is just their interpretation of an awesome song. And the fact that the singer's voice is a little off key makes it that much better. Listen and love it! :)

  • @mrw203056 Didn't you lose a war and get kicked out, not left the colony?

  • Comment removed

  • why can't so called musicians, oops, sorry i meant totally fucking talentless COCK MUNCHERS, never write their own songs? please stop trying to cover brilliant songs, with your out of tune, out of time crap, the cure was a band, these are a bunch, of fucking corporate pushed twats, remember some people are only alive cos its illegal to kill em! GET UP KIDS more like FUCKED IT UP KIDS. there again they are fucking yanks! we should have burned that colony before we left. hicks and queers CUNTS

  • theres a show the day before at webster hall

  • is there a version that was covered and much slower? i heard it on the radio...

  • Comment removed

  • they did a great job :)

  • Good cover

  • @knivesinwest11

    you know there is probably a reason why they are covering this...and this sounds more pop

    and original is more finer

  • horrible, shitty, disgusting, foul, noxious, soul murdering, cover

  • very good cover great guitar

  • i like this one better than the cures version a lil but no one can touch just like heaven......the get up kids are in my top ten

  • IF U LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL....I WANT TO KICK U IN THE FACE.

  • @BirdmanAKAtheRap the singer WILL NEVER EVER FUCKING BE Robert Smith. GOD BLESS THE FUCKING UNIVERSE FOR THAT!

  • @BirdmanAKAtheRap Hike your leg and get ready to kick...

  • @BirdmanAKAtheRap I LIKE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL... what are you gunna do about it bitch?

  • The American twang makes this sound odd. I don't like it at all.

  • I have their old ass shirt. A nuke with three starts in it and the band name underneath it. I wore it to school and my friends kept reading it "The Ghetto Kids". WTPHO BITCH.

  • i like this one a lot better than the one by the cure. i love the get up kids!

  • Lights version<3

  • I kinda like this one better....

    :O

  • The drummer should stop trying to outdo Boris Williams. No one overdoes Boris Williams without sounding shit. Same with the whole band.

  • emo/angst

  • the original is the shit. but their version is sweet too :)

  • he sang it way too fast.

  • this is just absolutely spelndid

  • the cures version is way better. but nice try though. :D

  • i miss Smith's heavy panting at the beginning. all the passion has gone from this song. ew.

  • Some songs should just be left alone. This is a prime example.

  • The Drums Sound Better in 480p :)

  • @max6hits9ftw please replace the runescape tag with a wow tag

  • @teskourneofgoldshire -.- okay 3 years ago. i used to play that game nearly every day. shall change.

  • Reminds me off Fall Out Boy.

  • @wishitwasfake danca dance?

  • @ejemploskate just a little bit, lol

  • @wishitwasfake NEVER!!!

  • drums are awesome

  • this is the theme for the smoking room, the BBC sitcom

  • I hate this cover...

  • their cover is not right. its just not. someone needs to do away with this bullshit. the singer... his voice is so flat compared to Rob Smith.

  • me encanta este cover esta buenisimo =)

  • one of my favorite covers. I LOVE The Cure but I love this cover more than the original.

  • @dpsgangsterx i kinda like the cure one better :P i think its because i like the lazy i dont care voice

  • this song is dedicated to my best freind ever caitlin mcguiness , i luv her so much xx :) this is for u caitlin 2010

  • @ryan63412 fag

  • @jindivik321 you a fukin retard who videos them selves playin golf ! hahahahah

  • this song is dedicated to my facebook bestfreind who i couldnt live without she is amazin and i love her so much she is the one and only caitlin mcguiness. xxx :)

  • I think it started out as a bit of a joke during soundchecks for The Get Up Kids and then they got a bit more serious about it and made a decent recording of it.. I was like "no way!!" when I found this cover a while back, I've been into TGUK for over a decade and they have been one of my favourite bands ever since I "discovered" them.. I'm into The Cure aswell. Thumbs up for TGUK for not ruining the song

  • still love the original more, but this is as good as it gets for a cover. i often find myself tapping out the beat to this song in school.. weirds me out. powerful music.

  • the get up kids kick so much ass it's hard to fathom.

  • it's been so long since i put get up kids on .....

  • i like this cover better than the cure's (tho the cure r genius)

  • is this emo someone told me it was

  • @XxchimpanzeexX yes it is

  • THIS SUCKS

    IT SOUNDS LIKE SIMPLE PLAN

    /DIES

    The Cure are 30594035 x better than this.

  • this ones better than the cure

  • sounds like Angels and airwaves - everythings magic

  • This cover's awesome. I love the original by The Cure, but TGUK made it sound as if was one of their own.

  • fucking great cover

  • @intro: foot loose

  • this is a really good cover

  • FALL OUT BOY

  • i love this song!

    but the beginning of it sounds like dance dance and lady sovereign does a song that sounds exactly like this... popular beat !

  • @Tatt17

    "lady sovereign does a song that sounds exactly like this..."

    Oh hell no. You didn't just say that...

  • toss the dice

  • I don't think it's musically intelligent to compare this with the original. Which one is better or worse is just an opinion. I think what's worth noting is that very few people even touch covering The Cure and The Get Up Kids have done it fearlessly.

  • In MY OPINION , this song is better than the original with the cure ._.

  • @utopianfant4sy

    wAHt?!?!?!?

  • @AndyJB2005 This generation, This is old mang. Not obviously THAT old, but still old.

  • What is the original?

  • the original is by the band "the cure"

  • @thomasausten can't believe you had to ask :O

  • @thomasausten you made me feel so old by saying that...don't worry you'll get yours one day!! :p

  • @thomasausten check my AmericanA music channel....out some lovely "Cure" in there lotz of it...he he ...

  • @thomasausten you fucking idiot

  • saw this live yesterday :3 angstgasm indeed!

  • i love this version better then he original one the get up kids are awesome!!

  • da fuaq? seriously? come on man, better then The Cure. Well honestly the did the same thing. To me a cover is when a band takes another song and makes it way differet then the original, like local h toxic.

  • this is a really great cover. This brings me back to high school.

  • The Get Up Kids covering The Cure? Angstgasm.

  • @MasterBlade4

    yess. =D

  • @MasterBlade4 This comment. Made my day.

  • i love love love TGUK.

  • I usually hate covers but this is great. Doesn't beat the original but I'm impressed

  • @hecknotekno Same! I like this :) x

  • see i was looking for this one, but i didnt know they sung it. but i do like the cure's version just a little better. still great though :D

  • If they play this @ Melbourne Soundwave I'd die happy

  • when you do a cover, it's better when it's not exactly like the original. bands that do covers need to own it and add their touch. those are always the best covers.

  • Great cover :).

  • Fun cover, but nowhere close to the original. This version lacks feeling and true meaning.

  • @knbbt completely agreed... It lacks true feeling and meaning because this band really couldn't understand a song like this. They're playing at it as best they can.... Which isn't very well....

  • @Oldshirt If they had covered it and tried to sound like the original, it would completely lack feeling and meaning. They took it and made it their own, at least they didn't just play it the exact same way it was originally. And it's pretty catchy (but granted the original is an awesome song). Just because it's not done like the original doesn't mean it has no feeling. In fact, it's quite the opposite.

  • fav song from them!

  • :| no

  • Comment removed

  • i like it but the original its better

  • I love it ;)

  • This cover is way better than the original. It's not even close.

  • i keep waiting for Lady Sovereign to start singing "So Human"

  • i was to =/

  • Dude, OBVIOUSLY no one could EVER compare to the Cure but you dont have to be so rude about it. music is ment to be fun, who cares if its good. and this is coming from a kid who went to an art school for music for the past four years. and its fun to do covers, you cant always be 100% original all the time. One love, man, one love

  • whoah...um comparisons to fall out boy...and someone who says its BETTER than the cure original.......what the fuck

  • As opposed to gore/johnK/mccain

    guess you can't be trusted with analytical thinking.

  • Fuck Fall Out Boy, PLEASE!!!!! NEVER EVER Compare those fags with The Get Up Kids

  • I love this better than the orginal

  • the beginning sorta sounds like dance dance by fall out boy until the keyboards come in....

  • Every time "Dance Dance" would come on I would think "Get Up Kids?!?!?!" and then be very disappointed =(

  • @jazzthatsclassic this song came before Dance Dance.

  • I know ;)

  • I think it kindaa sounds like Fascination by alphabeat xD!

  • the orignal is better, and im a punk rock fan

  • wtf does the get up kids or the cure have to do with punk rock?

  • <3 TGUK

  • Moyen....

  • my favorite are the people who comment on how this band sounds like Blink lol. This band was around long before they were. And their original music is very well articulated with rudiment drumming, opposing those who were "pissed off" by the drums. I wish people understood music before they knocked it. Lyrically and Musically. When a band does a cover it's normally meant as a respect to the band who originated the song, so show some respect back please.

  • yeah. Except Blink has been around since 92 and the Get up Kids formed in 95, but close.

  • yuck. i feel dirty.

  • the beginning is great with the bass, but the electronic sound could have been better...nice cover anyway =D

  • retro song

  • AWESOME

  • I absolutely love it :D

    I LOVE get up kids

  • great cover. looking forward to some bad dancing to this next Feb.

  • this is amazing, i don't care who you are or what you say this is just plain good music. i personally like it alot more than the cure. probably cause of the drums

  • i didnt like this sorry

  • The drums are what made this cover killer.

  • @xPythox the drums in this are off... they mess it up

  • best cover ive heard in ages
