Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On w/ Lyrics

[dirt232323]

sick tune!



[Chrissy1993ish]

LOVE this song!! Lupe is Amazing!

[NgSZewBra]

I like this better then modest mouse version pretty fun to play the original version on rockband 2

[HunterPiazza]

Everyone bitching about him stealing this: stfu. If Modest Mouse had a problem with it, you would've heard about, it. I think that he's showing them mad respect on that, honestly. And this song is, for lack of a better term, inspirational. When you compare the two songs, it fits the mood and the message.

[Horicranberry]

Modest Mouse is awesome, but Sampling isn't a crime, and different artists' interpretations of other artists' works is all good IMO. Credit where it's due. Mad props to Modest Mouse.

[ItsMeHandle]

i like to wear confetti in my underwear, that way when girls get there they know its party time!

[apease260]

i love this song!!!!!!! aka i have green grass

[xbrandon740]

way to rip off modest mouse you piece of shit

[FROGrappin]

@xbrandon740 ya, what Markemp89 said, this is a good song, calm yourself turbo

[Carnith]

Thank god I'm not the only one who heard this and went "Float on...?"

[WheresThePopcornProd]

lupe you took a good song and turned it into a horrible one. and no credit to modest mouse.

[Ownzian]

Gay version of modest mouse's...

[LemkeSweet]

Freaking love this song

[XxCHUCKxX8]

this song sounds japanese... poop-weiner

[babe201]

This song repeats ALL THE TIME ON THE RADIO!

[Oriolesfan32]

this is stolen

[kittykittykat12]

I knew of Modest Mouse by Rockband 2 before this. XD After RB2, I started listening to them. And I actually love this song, too! When I heard it on the radio, I froke out like ZOMG! Somebody else actually likes them! LOL!

[mlestoll]

i like this better than modest mouse, and modest mouse is way different than this, even though it's sampled in the song.

[MrGpbrisk]

the dislike bar is like justin beibers penis it grows when an asshole touches it

[esharose45]

@MrGpbrisk Oh good as long hes not justin BIEBER

[joshuabrinton]

@MrGpbrisk no, it grows when a faggot touches it :)

[PinkSugarStar16]

i listen to this song like 100000000 times a day...hehe

[lendmeyourbodyplz]

FOund the name!!!!!!!

[Isacc494]

The first time i heard this song, i was thinking "Holy Crap" Modest Mouse went to Hip-Hop, R&B? Then some girl punked me out and screamed NOoooooooooooo this is "The show goes on". So i put on a poker face and pretended to know what she was talking about -_-

[josebenignorodriguez]

who ever doesn't like this song is very negative.

[neutral19951]

20 people accidently clicked dislike when going for the like button

[WATCHER7327]

Great SONG snapped me out of a depression THAnkS LUpE

[Flit31]

Hmm well if all it takes to publish a song is stealing someone else then I should be rich by the end of the month.

[xxsweetablexx]

:) One In The Air For The People Daht Aint Here :) Detroit Shout Out :)

[Wing0fSilver]

@Wicachow u mad.

But seriously, they sampled their song because it's the same feeling they're trying to express, bringing it to a different audience. Just spreading a good message: that we'll all float on :)

[lifeofmusic920]

I can listen to this song a million times & it will NEVER get old.

[boyer352]

Upbeat Modest Mouse. Pretty sweet. Lupe all day!

[MyCina14]

i heard this song and i couldn't figure out why it sounded so familiar then i realised it was float on by modest mouse, ha no wonder why i liked this song so much. lol played the song on rockband XP and both songs are really good :) love it

[Greta100ful]

I hate this song, not because it sampled other artists stuff but because it didn't do it justice at all. If you have to sample something at least make it compareable to the original. i love how fucking mainstream artists resort to using meaningful lyrics and guitar riffs into bullshit about being famous or standing out. Its so.. egotistical and dry.

[dockoty94]

Only like it for the bright sound and guitar epicness. I love this feeling I get when I listen to it.

[njkrmt]

I believe that the purpose of this song is to say that its okay to ride on the coattails of other successful people....

I mean its the welfare loving, socialist democrat way!

Jump on the bandwagon!

[RoCaWeAR125]

I'M LISTENING TO MODEST MOUSE FLOAT ON RIGHT NOW...

ALL BECAUSE I HEARD THE ONE BY LUPE FIASCO FIRST.

SO MODEST MOUSE (FREE PUBLICITY ) THEY SHOULD THANK LUPE.

CUZ NOW BOTH SONGS ARE HOT!

[09callofdutyblackops]

my new favorite song[:



[4GETthisSONG]

A little pissed they sort of stole from Modest Mouse...but I aint no hater. I still really like this song <3

[gangsterbros]

13 people are rich spoiled shits

[NaeNae00Nyss00]

this song id da best

[TheBassMasta11]

if you have a problem with sampling take it up with the Beastie Boys, they are the founders of sampling

[threefingeredfury]

dude modest mouse sucks this i way better

[69BeBreezy]

I fucking love this song! :)

[MrYoungguns10]

This song is inspiring bcus ive been out of baseball for 2 months and were going to Nationals a week after i get better. Im playing this in the tournament

[mryellowpikmin]

STOP TALKING ABOUT MODEST MOUSE!!!!! YOUR MAKING LITTLE CHILDREN GRIEF!!!!!!!! ITS JUST A SONG!!!!!! AND ITS AWESOME!!!!! YOUR RUINING ME READING THE COMMENTS!!!!!!!!!!

[iJizzIrl]

Dear Youtube,

There is a Dislike Button.

Please Fix it as soon as possible.

[Blakroseforever]

@iJizzIrl Ya  But What about all the bad videos like Friday or My jeans ?

[slimshadysbiggestfan]

@iJizzIrl Dear iJizzirl, the dislike is for people that know the original is by modest mour=se and is much better.

[TheExpertGuy]

@TheChatango Just proves the point that they're talentless and unable to create their own unique music.

[modawsome]

theres 11 haters in the building

[WhiteJustCantDance17]

This song really speaks to me

[hannahkins57]

Uhhhhhhh they took Modest Mouses' songs's chorus sound and little guitar part!

[zmans1inthehouse]

Where have the good ol' days of modest mouse and foo fighters gone to?!?!

[zmans1inthehouse]

Where have the good ol' days of modest mouse and foo fighters gone to?!?!

[HOWARDD6]

the fuckin shit is on this show tonight because the music show is the fuckin shit tonight

[thestudlyjobros]

Cody Asche stinger song it is awsome

[DanielleSaysHello521]

what song does this song sound like?

[DemonBladeAbyssAo9]

@DanielleSaysHello521 There was the older version, I'm trying to find it. 

[DanielleSaysHello521]

@DemonBladeAbyssAo9 okay, let me know when you doo. (:

[DemonBladeAbyssAo9]

@DanielleSaysHello521 Found it, it's Float on by Modest Mouse.

[DanielleSaysHello521]

@DemonBladeAbyssAo9 it doesnt sound like the version i know though.

[liesinpale]

man what happened to modest mouse

[Slowrt53]

I guess if you can't make your own music you can always rip off other peoples.

[hk34390]

thumbs up if your the 297th like

[1000mzruiz]

this song is made for me

[Bthornflips]

This is totally a rip off of Modest Mouse.... Alright already we'll all float on.

[DanielleSaysHello521]

@Bthornflips what comes next?

[shethead6]

this song... is the shit... and it makes you in a happy mood. and it makes you think positively.

[18MattL]

I came here because of my radio

[TheExnerd]

I love both versions...

[TheExpertGuy]

fucking rip off faggots.

[Pivot113]

rip off of modest mouse much?

[MrTreekicked]

@Pivot113 that's the point I think...

[SuperCrossie]

@Pivot113 You, sir, are an idiot. It's called sampling. It's like covering, except you only use their music, not their lyrics.

[FrescoDaMan]

@SuperCrossie Agreed, he is an idiot. You can use lyrics too though. Check out Lupe's Daydreamin', which was sampled off I Monster's song Daydreaming, which happens to also be a sampled song.

[zabuza481]

dude this song is so LEGIT!!!!

[definitelyNOTaninja]

@thehafpadwota

thats what i thought :O

float on by modest mouse?

[thehafpadwota]

Modest Mouse?

[wonka123able]

Love it!

[Mrlivelavahead]

@generationfreak yeah it did lol



[purplestarzx3]

<33yeah yeah i was once that little boy, terrified of everything now im on a world tour.(:

[neutral19951]

[alaika2010]

@neutral19951

10 people have too much wax in their ears

[metalirocz28]

@neutral19951 no, 10 people dislike ripped off music

[TheYourMyLife123]

Over and over and over ...

[moe143rivera]

l frikin lovvve this song!!!

[21cpd3]

@generationfreak haha

[Wicachow]

Freaking stole from modest mouse.

[TakZach]

@Wicachow Sampled you idiot.

[ayolopez]

@Wicachow well, modest mouse is no where to be seen. Maybe more people will buy the original on iTunes or something. It's free press!!! I'm sure Modest Mouse is not too angry. :-)

[Wicachow]

@ayolopez

I just hope this doesn't end up like how Ice Ice Baby ruined Under Pressure by Queen. He better make sure he at least had permission to do this

And say you made a new TV

Then you disappear for awhile

Its not right to take the design and say "I MADE IT"

[ddp380]

@Wicachow It's not stolen...they asked for permission to use the samples. It's more borrowed than stolen.

[Wicachow]

@ddp380 K good, i am happy its not stolen but it just seems that the rap and hip hop artists are becoming more and more uncreative and are resorting to reusing other good songs.

[ddp380]

@Wicachow True, it is quite uncreative. Remixes and borrowed material can sometimes be quite beneficial, though. For instance, I didn't follow Modest Mouse much before this song, and because of this song, I took better notice of their stuff and enjoy it. ^_^

[Wicachow]

@ddp380 Well thats good :P

[Markemp89]

@Wicachow its not stolen he liked the riff / beats in float on so he covered it his own way, the highest form of respecting someone is imitation.

[ninjaisfast]

Nice lyrics bro.

[Cheatscape01]

Make that 10.

[PoiZeDxViciOus]

9 people are deaf

[nicholash1718]

Modest mouse ok, but  this is Awesome!

[stinkface101]

i feel bad for modest mouse, because i feel like this song will get a lot of popularity, and they wont get any credit for it. =((((

dont get me wrong, this song is pretty freakin awesome. It just sucks because half the people who hear it have no idea who modest mouse is

[iCHARRLZ]

@stinkface101

I heard the Modest Mouse original about 3 years ago. I was driving the other day and heard this, I was like WTF?!

[dragonfruiteater]

@iCHARRLZ Modest mouse is so eh now they aren't changing

I used to love them but I out grew them

[1234sledneck]

Modest Mouse Wana Beee!

[TheToysoliderz]

[jessecataylor]

[ohahmenuts]

[magasayo]

[TheWolfchick1]

[marissaza]

the one person who disagreed is dumb

[TheDjEastwood]

Cant anyone these days just enjoy music instead of bitchin about the smallest dumbest things? cause damn it " The show goes on"

[Hollywood15Undead]

@TheDjEastwood yeah man. agreed!

[lessthan35]

modest mouse

[HeyThereDestinyBear]

modest mouseeee

[fork355]

oh lord modest mouse

[zimisinlove]

this song makes me want to cry

[asant93]

Good song just totally copied float on

[Andrew88Morris]

@asant93 its a sample you idiot

[stei667]

@Andrew88Morris

it might be a sample, but it shows that these "artists" aren't good at coming up with their own ideas.

[tyuiop747]

Great Minds Think Alike... But I still think Float on is better. :P

[theehawtchick897]

hahahaha its funny actually. people talk bad about Lupe cause he supposedly stole Modest Mouse's beat... well, Lupe made it famous did he not? more people appreciate Lupe for it than they did/will Modest Mouse. dont hate cause he has it. he made it better,

[patrickfunsize]

it's not being unoriginal, it's called SAMPLING

[LeaveLancaster]

modest mouse

[MrSpacley103]

If Lupe and Khalifa did a song together i would shit a brick.. lol

[alyshajanay]

The first time I heard this song I loved it! I wish ppl would just stop hatn' for real. If he want to get his beat 4rm someone else...."his bussiness" if you don't have nothn nice to say...."Don't Say It".....sHEESH what is this world coming to.....smh

[alyshajanay]

love this!!

[DoubleA4Ever]

This song is ORGASMICCCCCCCCCCC (((((:

[Kdizzle19]

only reason I'm ok with this is because Lupe is a true hip hop artist and I'm sure he actually listens to modest mouse and the like. If it were anyone else I would be more offended

[FashionJunkieSierra]

I really think this is a copy of float on by modest mouse. I heard this chorus and immediately thought of Modest Mouse. No one can even be original anymore

[ramseyer73]

what has happened to rap? rappers can't even come up with an original beat so they use other bands songs and remix them to call them theirs and the chorus sounds the same just words changed. pathetic

[Pyromaniac876]

this sounds a lot like float on by modest mouse.

[ellelopa]

this jam makes me wanna reach for the skies : ]

[Starturtle311090]

great song. great artist, noble lyrics

[giantsfan6666]

wow modest mouse should sue....still a good song though.
