People have no right to criticize Jay-z's version. He did a pretty bad ass job. No matter what, he didnt make the original bad. Both songs are amazing.
@gnemtu No. If you can't create something yourself - do not take someone else work and smash it with a hammer. Jay-z, is not even close to be the legends Alphaville is.
classic songs like these shd never be remixed by adding crap.. whts wrong with people ??nw we have all sort of lame stuff.. all we have is the songs frm the past, classis.. leave them alone..
JAY Z??? EMINEM???? Gimme a break!! .. This IS an Alphaville vid, is it not??? This song always made me kind of sad-- THERE!! THAT'S what I was, originally, going to post, until all these intangilbles got me pissed off!!!!!
hey all nostalgique people ! alphaville made this but jay z's is a verry good music too its my favorit since i know it. I love alphaville's one too but making a remix isnt a problem why are u so intolerant
just heard the jay z version and its better I like it more. 36 million people agree with me too. this video hasn't even broke 1 million and it has had 20 years to get it. but because of jay z it will get more views.
@hollywoodjokerpicalo 20 yrs? only cuz he has 36 milion views it doesn't mean he is greater musician. moreover he obviously cant compose a good song. he has so many views only beacause of dumb kids like u. Thumbs up for best music, the 80's!
people that come on here and say this version sucks really need to get a life. if it weren't for these guys there wouldn't be so many good remixes out there. I GUARANTEE none of the artists that took this sample said "this version sucks".
Ich werde den Song mit n bissel techno versetzen bissel verändern ala featuring ala blabla unters Volk werfen,den als meine eigene Musik dann raus bringen und werde reich g*
of course this is the best version but why are you people insulting Jay-Z for liking this song and its idea so much that he released his own song sampling this? I've listened to the Jay-Z version and although he changed some things I didn't like then the version was still somewhat true to the original.
@Supermassively Dont hate on rap........ you call it rip-off but we make it more famous so go slap yourself for looking stupid count how many 15-17 remember alphaville or jay-z look at you stupid ass.
this song is great and this is the first time i heard it from them. but jay-Z is still a rapper that has stayed at the top for like 15 years. these guess no one has ever heard of. mr. hudson sang it great in jay-z's version.
@yryriza <LOL enjoy it while you can, it goes FAST, seems like yesterday i was 20 and whats funny i was into this music but i never heard this particular song until i watched the movie napolean dynomite, too funny...enjoy your life...take care!!!!!

Part 2: Some are like water, some are like the heat Some are a melody and some are the beat Sooner or later they all will be gone Why don't they stay young It's so hard to get old without a cause I don't want to perish like a fading horse Youth is like diamonds in the sun And diamonds are forever So many adventures couldn't happen today So many songs we forgot to play So many dreams are swinging out of the blue We let them come true
Jay-Z is garbage..and i love how kids these days hear this song and go "hey a jay-z remix" lol such idiots.
