@@bigpenny8223 I think they mean the cover sounds like Franks style, because the guitar+techno sounds like something frank would do (I personally thing the beat works too)
at first I was thinking "what?? there's a song by my FAVORITE band that I haven't heard???" but then I read the description and realized that it's just a cover. I still like it though.
my uni is full of rich people, sometimes it gets pretty hard not to get annoyed with some of them. Nothing beats the original, but this is a rad cover 👌🏼
Actually the original was the emo version of common people, because of the heavy issue of the North South divide in England at the time, these themes of the Southerners being "Better" was a big influence at the time, for Northen music anyway. So actually the original of this song is an emotional song about the difference between the two and how Southeners saw the Northeners as "Common people" and how some southeners "wanted to be common" and how the Northeners then retaliated to this with songs like this.
You will never understand how it feels to live your life with no meaning or control and with nowhere else to go. You are amazed that they exist and they burn so bright, while you can only wonder 'why?'! I always loved this song and I loved it a bit more when MCR covered it. :3
the first time i heard this song from pulp, i thought that it would be awesome that MCR do a cover of the song. three days later i found this. its just awesome.
+Alex Villanueva First time I heard the original I thought no band can do a good cover of this. I was wrong. Lucy Ward did a great cover. This is a bit shit.
+Daniel Baker I already searched and listened to the cover of lucy ward, and i actually think its more "shit" than rhis one. i like this one so much more than lucy ward's cover.
Alex Villanueva My problem with this is that they`re trying to do a straight cover of Common People, which tbh is impossible to do well as no one can match the charisma and swagger of Jarvis. Lucy Ward made the song her own, making it a completely different song, meaning she isn`t completely shadowed by a comparison to Jarvis.
+Daniel Baker well, actually they aren't trying to do a straight cover from common people, it actually sounds diferent because they wanted to do it diferent, they tried to do it a more "heavy"rock version of the song, not exactly the song itself. and gerard does put his own signature in the cover with his voice and singing some parts of the song in his style, so i think they also made the song their own, just in a different way than lucy ward. and i really didn't like how did lucy ward changed the song and "made it her own", i didn't liked the rhythm or the way she sang it and also i didn't liked at all the few enphasis she put in the guitar, i would've liked that she did more enphasis in the sound of the acoustic guitar, i think it would be beautiful with that.
They are doing a straight cover without the violin. I don`t care if it`s `heavy` rock, cause it ain`t. It`s faux-rock/pop that sounds like the original with no violin and worse musicians and arrangements. The American accent is shocking compared to Jarvis, and when you play a classic song like Common People in such a similar way to the classic version you at least have to have good vocals. Lucy playing it live is one of the best covers I`ve ever heard, particularly with her band. I also like how you listened to the song three says before seeing a shitty cover and immediately thought of MCR. Whenever I hear the classic, iconic intro chime through my record player I can only think that no one is ever able to be as good as Pulp. They are iconic, one of the greatest Brit-pop bands and Jarvis probably one of the greatest front men in history.
People who have not heard the original song (by the 80s band, Pulp) will appreciate this much more because of Jarvis Cocker's voice, which can basically change key without sounding bad. Try singing it! It is far from easy! WELL DONE, GERARD. :)
Glad to read from someone who appreciates his voice, tired of people saying that Jarvis' not a good singer, for instance in common people he shows some tasty velvety lows that goes unappreciated most of the times.
MCR's great, and Pulp's Common People is really awesome. I like the original better though, the presentation/execution of the lyrics are just better. It's like a story when you listen to Pulp, but MCR's just doing their usual teenage angst thing.
being from sheffield, i hear loads of pulp songs but to hear one of my favourite bands cover a song that i absolutely love in shitty quality gives me so much serotonin i might actually cry
ATTENTION ALL My Chemical Romance FANS On December 26th (before if you can't make it) we will all watch Na Na Na in honor of the greatest band ever's glory. Let's give them the best present ever: the highest viewed video on RUclips!! Let's give them what they all deserve! Copy and paste, etc., you know the drill. PS: To whoever thought of this originally - you deserve a medal
i adore this song....i love MCR more than most of my family!! anyway you did a REALLY good job on this...i like the font you used, and your timing with each frame of the lyrics is excellent. also i love white on black lettering, in larger print. just easier to READ fast lol! would love to see you do some more MCR!! :D
"Yo, MCR. I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish but William Shatner had one of the best covers of Common People of all time. One of the best coers of all time!
I don't have much to add, other than I agree. And that 'Drowning Lessons' is one of (or maybe is) my favorite of their songs. Their first album is golden.
It gains emotion at the cost of losing the meaning. It’s about the class devise in the UK. A super popular American band that’s rich singing it makes it lose its punch.
Y'know when you reach this song, you're far into the fan base.
Agreed
@@griffix2841 you sure about that
Thanks
It’s kind of funny because this is one of the first songs I ever heard mcr sing
Thank you. I figured I was pretty far gone but it's nice to have an official diagnosis.
It's hilarious to me when Gerard talks fast in the song like in 0:23 and idk why

does anyone know other covers by my chemical romance? i need more music by them. every single track i can find
OMG! I do the same! I got all their music already and I want more so I'm moving on to covers
Astro Zombies (Misfits) was covered by MCR.
Desolation Row, Song 2, Barbie Girl (yes, it exists), All I Want For Christmas Is You...
That's all I know :)
they did a cover of Under Pressure
Dipshit McIrishpants Right! I forgot it. The cover they did with The Used *o*

>80s band
F
I had no idea they covered this..
these are some seriously sharp lyrics, like, they feel like they really meant something.
Everything Jarvis Cocker writes has that feeling. Listen to 'Disco 2000' and you'll see what I mean.
yeah wisecrack have you heard the original song
American moment
I really have to say this but holy we have the same name
I love how Gerard pretends to be British but sounds a little bit American at the same time. LOVE THIS MO FUGGIN' SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! XO
This is a fantastic cover. I love that they included the extra verse too.
I want to Gerard to cover this again. I feel like if he sang this now itd be a much different version than this one
thuhufa rauf im KILLJOY my name is Jorge Gaba
This version is out of any kind of feeling. He must sang it and that's it
Definitely more depressing than pulps version but that's what I'm here for X
It's not supposed to be depressing.

This is my no. 1 favourite band covering my no. 1 favourite song and i had no idea it existed until now. Lockdown pays off in the end.
This cover's great but I still prefer the Pulp version because Jarvis Cocker's voice is awesome
I like Gerard's voice personally but, gotta give the original props definitely.
is it bad that I laughed through this entire song??
I did too XD it's so sarcastic and it's great
me too xDD
Why is it bad😂?

Huh, I never heard this cover. I was going to say that I have never Gerard talk about sex directly in a song before.

What about Prison?
and house of wolves?
this is about capitalism girlie 😃
Within 10 seconds i could tell that this song didn't sound like something mcr would write. And my suspicion was right, i listen to them too much...
I didn't realise this was a cover until I remembered my dad listens to this song all the time and he hates MCR
Your dad is a mullet head
i used to play this video 50 times a day when i was 13 and extremely depressed. rediscovering this at 25 is wild. i love it

i agree, but i'm glad they did it in their own style. it would be pointless to cover something in exactly the same way :^)
