Paul Anka Wonderwall

[padfootsnape]

omg just amazing simply the best

[ramiel1234321]

Renard's new project

[NicePlaylist]

It kinda sounds like that Mike Flowers Pop band.

[lefaki]

awesome cover is awsome

[SometimeInNovemberCA]

simply great!

[JessDrawsStuff]

OH NO! It skipped at 1:40!!!!

D': But this is awesome stillll!!

[markrabo]

Paul Anka absolutely pwned this song. And I mean that in a good way. I wonder what he could do with Godsmack...

[daisysc1]

Far better than the orginal!

[efadli]

awful.just awful.

[zealhe59]

my brother used to tell me that a good cover is more than just a rip-off of the original, a good cover is your own re-interpretation of the song you love!!!

[dave2402]

Fucking awful.

[Folkyou1994]

Probably the Best song I have heard in a good long while!

[youngchief09]

excellent jazzy version...both versions great!

[scottchapmansinger]

This is brilliant version of 'Wonderwall'

[vinniemass]

man...let me breast out: i work in a restaurant where this and other tunes from same album are constantly played. when this one specifically and "jump/van hallen" play, i want to shoot myself on the head! sorry...omg...=(

[Rdaniel90]

jajaajaj este paul

[hankrango]

jmuz96 is liam! settle, petal.

[jmuz96]

@hankrango you cant compare my to liam stupid. liam is a great frontman, a fuckin legend. and the best singer in the world

[haranaTHSU]

I like both, original and this cover. But my goodness, this jazz cover is just amazing.

[mangoo4ever]

@eRev21 Haha great reply my friend, i just love the way you owned his butt in such a well expressed and refined way.

You're great. Goodbye.

[javis13loco]

This is a fantastic cover!!!

[jmuz96]

Always imitated, never equaled. OASIS, LIVE FOREVER

[eRev21]

@jmuz96 You're right. This cover isn't equal to the original.

It's better.

[jmuz96]

@eRev21 man you dont now nothing about music. this is pure shitbag. if you dont like oasis you dont have any musical taste. if you like this shit, than you probably like justin bieber and all that crazy shit that they call music today.

[eRev21]

@jmuz96 Yeah, because people who like swing generally like Justin Beiber.

Oh wait, that's not right.

Oasis isn't bad, I like a lot of their stuff. This cover is better than the original, however. Of course, this is just my opinion, just as "OASIS, LIVE FOREVER" is yours; however, judging by your less than witty response I'd surmise my musical taste is a tad more refined than your own.

[jmuz96]

@eRev21 hahaha im just saying the truth man. oasis will live forever. best band ever.

[buidseach]

@jmuz96 oasis were the bad apple in the barrel

[whitesebi]

@eRev21 even if that's the case, thaaat's kinda a twatty thing to say matey

[Bucetinho]

@jmuz96 i'm not sure if you have a severe lack of brain cells or if you're just trolling.

[jmuz96]

SHITBAG!

[PeteCannellasSound]

You know Paul Anka is great. I think Buble gets his style more from him then anybody. But Paul Anka has always been a great song writer so these reinterperations are nothin to what his mind can do.

[PatPowers1995]

Brilliant cover! Completely reinterprets the song but is successful on its own terms. Now that's creativity!

[OrangeQueenie]

wow - so good

[NathanSoulless]

perfect

[MANHATTANBEEFMAN]

Fantastic - going into my faves!

[lob287]

This is so fucking ridiculous

[jmuz96]

@lob287 agreed. this is pure shitbag

[oobrocks]

what yr. was this released? PS: a Great song!!

[Chibihalo2]

Uh Paul you're an amazing singer but sometimes there are some songs that shouldn't be turned into big band swing music. At least it's not the bad lounge version of Black Hole Sun, which he did a cover of that version on the same album, from Steve and Eydie.

[nzg01b23]

who gives a shit about the genre? it sounds freaking great!

[TheEdgey89]

This isn't blues or even jazz you retards. Its pure "swing".

[riddleman65]

@TheEdgey89

I didn't know swing wasn't a subset of Jazz. Thanks for clearing that up.

[KilroyWasHere11]

i never thought I would ever like anything recent from Paul Anka but here it is :)

[ashleyblakeley]

Hey please checkout my version!! with my school band

[NoOtherNamesWereLeft]

This is so hilarious! I'ts so hard to believe that he's actually made an entire album full of covers like this... But I'm not sure what I'm actually finding funny: is it the mere fact that these songs have been re-arranged like this? Is it the fact that he's actually doing a great job? Or is it the fact that he's taking it seriously enough to make an entire album?

Anyway, it's great and hilarious!

[OrbiliusVinnicus]

The original version was ... well, it was much worse. Paul Anka found a diamond in ashes.

[MJPTHA3RD]

Ahaha, I can't help but laugh at each of his covers at first. xD But then I end up liking them after awhile. x3 I think I laugh so much because they tend to differ away from the original key. xP

[Codacho]

TEMAZO!!

[groovysherrie65]

Wow, I am not much of a Jazz fan, but this is awesome. Very interesting take on Wonderwall. You go Paul!

P.S. I think I am going to start a Jazz playlist!

[squiddydo]

time to put on my smoking jacket

[bigjack0607]

Can't believe I just found Paul Anka's album of covers, it's amazing.

[Koalaheikki]

This is by far the best version of this song that I have ever heard.

[ysiblini]

nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, nice

[MOONST0MP]

This isnt Paul Anka. Is it???

[ImAwesomeCunt]

@MOONST0MP Yeah it is you dumb mother fucking piece of shit... geez, shit man

[MOONST0MP]

@ImAwesomeCunt Hey, dont be so rude you fuckin Yank chillie dwaaaag eatin fat bastard!! Go hang out at the mall and slurp some root beer you fat fucker!

[ImAwesomeCunt]

@MOONST0MP Yeah cuz a picture is worth about half the words, dumbass, eating skillets in a bucket

[barushkan]

@MOONST0MP it's not paul anka's original song, it's oasis's. but the one who sings is paul anka.

[thesupernovaa]

Estas canciones solo las escribe Noel Gallagher!

[PICHICHI90]

He Just Kicked Liam's Butt!

[panniize]

@PICHICHI90 lol jk

[GruffyRachacha]

Paul Anka needs to stop. Everything.

[georginaamayy]

my dad's school big band are playing this tonight! he's managed to make them play it really well :)

[hardluckhippie]

EPIC!!!!!!

[Valdezb6p]

In all honesty this one is more suited to the theme of the song. Oasis made a different emotion outburst. But I must say this fits better. Hell this guy wrote music for all the swing stars of 50 and 60 .

[idriveabucket]

I've been singing his version very loudly in my car for years

[idriveabucket]

@supercure1 You clicked on it, dumbass

[supercure1]

@idriveabucket someone hacked my account and posted that i never looked up this guy

[ebob1967]

Actually, I heard this cover before I ever heard of the original.

[missrepo47]

holy fucken shit. AMAZING!!!!!!!!1

[Nemesis7293]

Paul Anka still F*CKIN' rules!!!

[AlErhard]

Im all about covers, but this just killed it for me.

[snipperbes]

Too bad about the cut at 1:40.... still a great song.

[Randiroo333]

my favorite version...im so happy he did it

[superdan1875]

Oasis are the best

but let's face it this is better than ryan adams.

[SaffuriousOne]

u two, need to get a Room make out, so get on with it, hehS, F--- Each Other, so we can just: ENJOY da MUSIX?

NehS? and if not, just do ur thang, go somewhere else, why bother chatting with one another, unless you planning on Fucking?

Maybe the next few lifetimes?

Hope you remember THIS Senseless argument over nothing?

hehS.................It's Quite Cute, REALLIES, hehS............

Ta-TaS

[DMRisPRO]

oh, this is just lovely!

[MrRuigni]

Great Oasis cover.

[TNO73]

Paul Anka has the ability to take any song & make it sound like he wrote it. The guy has wrote hundreds maybe in thousands of songs, but I loved his take on the songs on "Rock Swings".

[GroinDestroyer]

@MarkAntro lol mad bro? Most people remember one song from oasis kid, and that is usually wonderwall. You're an fucking an idiot... did i mention an? hahahahaha PZ

[gossieuk]

It doesn't take much to be better than Oasis but this is superb

[killfroggy26]

Anybody catch the edit in 1:41?

[empath69]

Why is it that just about ANY video I watch/listen to over here has *EIGHT*DISLIKES*?!? _always_ eight...are there eight people who uniformly go throughout YouTube and just 'dislike' everything, or does the system 'fix' the numbers shown?

[Revlin]

Fucking class!!

[ShopSongs]

lol noel gallagher spent ages writing his song , and it just got completely owned when paul anka makes a cover of it , hes gunna want to commit suicide when he hears this lol

[jakescottify]

all the covers on this album were just too good.... loving his daughters new blog too jus here

antheaanka. com v cool

[KaliYuggoth]

pure awesomeness

[Scott261087]

Hats off to Vinnie Colaiuta, he did a great job on this album.

[sophiegayle]

im not really in to jazzy type music, but i actually love this version!

[FireOfEnigma]

amazing!

[cosmicshootingstar]

this is just AMAZING!

[olirulz2k8]

I really like this , it's got a contagious rhythm to it that just makes me want to get up and dance!

[ENZOrockstar]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeii­iiiird cover :S

but I kind of like it... (even weirder...)

[dogfaceboy47]

Really brilliant. Anyone who is at all musical (playing, singing) should appreciate the notion of making a song your own. Schools are teaching how to imitate—no doubt, it makes you a better musician. But when you're ready to fly, you do something like this. It takes excellent conceptualization skills. Tori Amos plays her covers this way. Who wants to make exactly the same song?

[Anireshi]

OH SHIT THAT'S AMAZING.

[trueroulette]

brilliancee .

[Cybermaul]

I could totally Lindy to this. :D

[megoesmoomoo]

People who don't like Jazz/Blues should not even be commenting on a song style they don't even listen to or appreciate. Regardless of where the original song came from. Just FYI.

[Agraviador]

@megoesmoomoo

Yea nobody should comment on anything or anyone. Lets all just look at our own feet in silence. Nobody should ever excercise their freedom of speech.

Fascism much?

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador

troll much? it's sad you'd waste so much time exercising your rights as an American doing nothing but bitching.

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919 Im not american, and im not bitching. BUT if i was american, i would probably be as simplistic and narrowminded as you are. You probably have to look up the word "fascism" to know what it means.

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador

Dude you know nothing about me, taking from your name I'm guessing this whole pissing people off thing is nothing new to you. Seriously take a minute to think about what you're doing, you're insulting people on a Paul Anka video... get a fucking life that doesn't involve harassing people, troll.

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919 Im not trolling at all. And i am insulting you because youre an ignorant, bigotted idiot who doesnt realize that my original comment was in protest of someone who beleived that people who dislike something should not voice their opinion, which is the complete opposite of free speech.

Heres an idea, because you butt into a conversation, take the time to find out what its about before you open your mouth and say something stupid.

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador You're right, I'm a bigoted idiot. Nice deduction of my beliefs and actions based on my YouTube comments you fucking failure. Free Speech is a wonderful thing but it comes with a cost; complete pricks and utter douchebags such as yourself who could never write, arrange or perform a piece of music as appreciated as real artists. I just find it sad that someone like you has spent their time on a soap box merely making a fool of themselves. Congratulations dumbass

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919

No, allow me to congratulate you on your attempt to cover up your ignorant comments by making this an arguement over free speech the people who abuse it.

Allow me then, to inform you that the right to free speech that you americans are so proud of, isnt really free at all. If you disagree with me, please go to your nearest airport and shout "i have a bomb".

Your first ammendment right to free speech is a worthless lie.

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador

wow, your argument is not only controversial but also completely fucking moronic. Your second paragraph completely showed our true trollish nature and failure to grasp common sense. If someone is really stupid and evil enough to scare people by saying they have a bomb in an airport, yeah they deserve to get their shit kicked in.

*amendment

Take it up with my government, not me. I'm proud to be a citizen of a fucking Righteous nation under God that allows your kind of stupidity.

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919

Allows my kind of stupidity? haha ok it seems youre a little thick so allow me to reiterate:

1) i am not american

2) i am not american, thank GOD

3) righteous nation under god? The constitution, the very same document that gives you FREEDOM OF SPEECH also gives you freedom of the press, freedom of this and that and most importantly THE SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE.

This means, a seperation of GOVERNMENT and ANY RELIGION.

Why do americans not know their own constitution?

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador

I know my constitution, you think you're debating some pissed off guy in America who has a basic knowledge of politics and thinks Democrats and Republicans are the only two parties that have ever been around. I assure you, you are debating with a studied motherfucker here. I've managed to gain support of other viewers on here as well as shoot down your arguments in a short 500 character post. You're quick to assume and you're easy shit for any debater.

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919 Youre support means nothing. And you have yet to present any indication of receiving higher education apart from something you read on wikipedia. Im going to keep this reply short given that you made two posts for me to reply to.

[VHSguitar919]

@Agraviador

It does allow separation of church and state, I agree. Doesn't change how I feel about MY country. Which by the way is 83% Theistic.

You made a stupid comment on here being Trollish, in high disrespect of a great musician, I defended him based on my respect for those that came before me. I'm guessing here that you're a metal guy who has been blinded into thinking people like Kurt Hammet are earth shattering guys when you haven't even heard of people like Chris Potter or Mike Brecker

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919 I made no disrespect for Paul Anka. I think his interpretation of this song is excellent. I do listen to metal, but i also listen to alot electronica, a little rap, some classical and alot big band jazz.

No i havent heard of Chris Potter or Mike Brecker, but im sure i could name artists that you have never heard of also.

OH and your constitution does not "allow" seperation of church and state, it enforces it. Theres a difference

[MrRuigni]

@VHSguitar919 Haha too funny this is. Why would anyone insult people on a Paul Anka video?

[VHSguitar919]

@MrRuigni because this world is filled with absolutely fucking stupid people like Agraviador who just want to piss people off because it somehow gets their tiny dicks off, as if somehow Mr. Anka is just sitting at home reading people's comments and crying over shitheads like Agraviador who make no difference or progress for humanity. But I guess discussing politics and philosophy on jazz cover videos is what gets that guy off. Fucking enjoy the music or find something else to listen to pricks.

[MrRuigni]

@VHSguitar919 LOL ya really. Paul Anka doesn't give a shit.

Good finish there though, many people can't do anything else. I mean hating on a Paul Anka video as if he sees the comments. How low can you go? 

[Agraviador]

@VHSguitar919 Hahaha thats an awful lot of swearing given that im supposed to be "easy shit for any debater".

[jonlf350]

Is his hair painted on?

[bwalke113]

@megoesmoomoo it's not like you have never made comments about music you don't like..

[megoesmoomoo]

@bwalke113 You're right I have. But I don't go out of my way to make pissy comments about some singer doing his thing on a video website. I mean, come on... do you really have that much anger in you that you MUST bring this person down even though you dont listen to the genre?

[megoesmoomoo]

@bwalke113 Also, seriously lol @ people earlier commenting about free speech. No one said anything about what you shouldn't say. All I said was that someone who is not even educated enough in a particular field to make such hateful and angry comments about someone who obviously has made a lifelong career out of doing what he does best is just petty and infinitely pathetic. You can say what you want no one's stopping you. Something about stupidity and proving it to be true.

[TheEdgey89]

@megoesmoomoo Its not blues or jazz, its swing!

[atadsatirical]

@megoesmoomoo no lets let them so we can laugh at their ignorance and naivity

[snipperbes]

Better than the original, for sure.

[adrux]

que porqueria

[whiskers410]

I much rather Paul Anka's version than Oasis. He is amazing =)

[sebastian60s]

it´s a good version, but... better than the original? come on, suddenly the song that millions of people sung is not that great?

[Nisus02]

People shouldn't say that the Oasis version is bad, it isn't, in fact it's one of the few decent songs Oasis has.

Paul wouldn't have made this version it he didn't find the song cool. But all in all, it's true, this version is really a bit better.

But my favorite version is Ryan Adams'.

[alexwilliamson101]

Yeah, I definitely prefer Ryan Adams' version too!

[ashflower]

Totally cool.

[GroinDestroyer]

FUCKING AMAZINGLY WELL DONE. I've never been soooo impressed by a cover of a one hit wonder! Bravo

[ryansouth22]

one hit wonder?...

where have you been the last 20 years?...

damn...

[zom141]

@GroinDestroyer I don't think Oasis is a one-hit wonder. They had a few good others, like Don't Look Back in Anger for example.

[samirocorvo]

@GroinDestroyer Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger, Stand by Me, Don't Go Away, Go Let It Out, Stop Crying Your Heart Out, Champagne Supernova, Let There Be Love... just a few I remember now that played massively on the radio.

[MrFabricate09]

much better than the original...

[trhnpc]

Smekerica....

[homolad]

how can someone not put a fat 5* for this one?! this is 1000000 times better than the crappy original. the arrangement is superb not to mention mr anka's fuckin smooth voice! keep up the good work paul your a miracle :)

[oasisforever00]

What did ya say? that this version is way better than oasis one? are ya stupid man?

Mr, Paul Anka is a genius, I won't deny that, but I've got to say that you're certanly wrong, Oasis version is the one and only, this may be a great cover, but It'll never be as good as the original one. And Please don't say that the original one is crappy, cause I'm sure Paul would hit ya in the face if he hears ya talking like that.

[homolad]

I gratefully accept the rebuke, but let's face it:

- the original tune is a 4 chord pop song

- what'd been arranged and extended to a full band jazz masterpiece

By the way I'm totally fine with your opinion, this is music which implicates it cannot be decided which piece is better than the other. For you the Oasis version, for me - without a question - Mr. Anka's take.

I think Oasis's version is ridiculously stupid musically, but I'm sorry that hurts you!

[oasisforever00]

NO. I can assure ya It doesn't hurt me at all and other thing, this song was already a masterpiece before Mr. Anka made a cover of it. I can accept all kind of opinions. Even more I've to say -in my opinion of course- that despite Paul Anka is a great musician, He screwed this song up and made it, what itwasn't -a piece of crap- But Yeh. We both have different 'opionions'.

[zom141]

@oasisforever00 And just how did he "screw it up"? By adding his amazing vocals and a great swing tune and pace?

[BORDEEEEEL]

TOTALLY !

[samirocorvo]

@homolad 8 chords, if you don't mind my correction.

[erflaz]

great version,meglio dell'originale.

[reygodofredo]

excellent version in the voice the paul anka

[WoOzA21]

excellent but I prefer the Oasis's version

[wonderwall90]

I loe the original song but this other version is brilliant
