WATCHING THIS RIDICULOUS VIDEO WASTED EIGHT MINUTES FORTY-EIGHT SECONDS OF MY LIFE THAT I CAN'T GET BACK... because I liked it so freakin much, I watched it twice! You guys/gals are da bomb. Keep it up.
I thought that was her, I been a KOA fan but don't remember watching this video. And ran across this then noticed Ramsey in the video... Is this before she went racist with MTV or after? lol
I love when she does macy gray and the woman next to her is like "holy shit man you sound JUST LIKE HER" I love this video and have watched it many of times throughout the years. Keep doing what you guys do !!!
That Morrissey impression was so flawless Mark could release an album claiming The Smiths were back together and no one would be able to prove it was a scam!
***** but your statement is disrespectful and I don't want to hear stuff like that out of someone who stereotypes all youth as being disrespectful and immoral
***** how are you more qualified to talk about matters like this then I am when you know nothing about me since you have never met me. You do not even know my age so do not try to act like you are better than me or anyone else
I'm sitting here binge watching seasons of King of Queens, and then boom. I get to a certain episode in the 8th season and who do I see in the background as extras?! The two ladies in this video chatting it up! I had to do a triple take, but I'm 95% sure it's them!
Dear Key of Awesome team I miss you dearly, the internet not used to be what is was back then. Best Regards from Corona hell - your old videos are one of the things that keep me going sitting I home office with 2 kindergarten kids. 🤪
+Noah Kunz I don't think this is making fun, 'cause tbh he does have quite a funny singing voice, and I love greenday! Sometimes you just have to make fun of yourself!
Great video. But, here's some voices that could've been good on this list: Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) Scott Stapp (Creed) Tom DeLonge (blink-182) Nicki Minaj Axl Rose
This is the kind of video I miss from your channel. This was uploaded 6 years ago, and I discovered and commented a year ago. Still one of the best ridiculous voices from KOA. :-D
Ben Johnson Boohoo im gonna get butthurt because i think people on the internet are mocking people i don't even know people who's music i just listen too WAAAAA!
I love the comments because everyone is defending the one or two people that they actually listen to and not realizing that all of the ones they tribute this to is completely true because I listen to pretty much all of them. These guys are amazing at what they do and people just need to get over it. It's a video; if you don't like it, DON'T WATCH :) Have a good day!
I love the Greenday ridiculous voice thing!!!!! Are you guys just making these up as you go along or are you writing them down and memorizing them then singing them??
I used to listen to this song non stop 2-3 years ago. And now, when i hear some of the songs mentioned, i ALWAYS sing the part as it was sung it this video, as it were the normal one, then i realise....
I absolutely love Tom Petty, Macy Gray, and Stevie Nicks. Although everytime I hear someone make fun of Michael Mcdonald I think of Will Sasso's shower impersonation of him. Morrissey is good too, thanks to my sweetheart I actually love the Smiths.
So many comments talkin bout "I love his voice!" Or bashing KOA...The vidya is called TRIBUTE to ridiculous voices. They LIKE these artists. And guess what? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS A WEIRD VOICE WHETHER YOU LIKE THE ARTIST OR NOT. They are indisputably very unique voices. Easy to make fun of not in a mean way. I guess people who aren't actually into singing wouldn't understand but fuh ril my nigga chill they just showin love aight. Bob Dylan da best. Billie Joe hell no. Stevie nope. Geddy nope. Rest whatevv
I kinda feel bad for having to point out that they spelled his name wrong in the video. But even you a fan i believe spelled Billie Joe Armstong wrong.
Jose Diaz Thanks for the laugh! Not because your comment was funny, but the fact that you just set me an excellent example of someone who was actually dropped on their head.
FPS Rucka Those were the 2 I thought were by far the worst in the video, all his impressions were far too high pitched, Geddy Lee is naturally high but not comically squeaky high, Lee has a slight warble to his voice and Petty has a little more bass to his voice than that.
I shared this with my best friend because even though he's 16 years younger than I am, he has a good knowledge of the music I grew up with in the 60s and 70s. He really enjoyed it! I'm not sure which was his favorite, but mine was probably the Dylan!
I could go all philosophical or something and say something to the effect that "if you enjoy it, then it is time wasted", but I'm just going to nod my head in agreement. **Nod**
My thought is that if it wasn't detracting from something else potentially more important [read: wasting time] It would be boring. Of course by my own logic, I would end up coming full-circle and arriving at your logic, which would then come to a final conclusion that EVERYTHING and Nothing is a waste of time! LOL! I think I just blew my own mind! 8O
That is a VERY inaccurate statement. I love green day and think its hilarious when people imitate Billie Joe. I just don't think this was the greatest bj impersonation ever. Not bad, but not too good either. They nailed most of the others though. I really wish they did Eddie vedder though... D:
This video, was so damn good. But i will unsubscribe, unless you do us favour, and you make the second part... :) No just kidding, won't ever unsubscribe, but you could do sequel.
First of all, this video is ridiculous, I'm unsubscribing, and you wasted about 5 minutes of my life. Just kidding I love you. Make a Greenday Key of awesome. Please.
The fact they did this in one take is amazing in itself. I'm just sad that the KOA is gone. I hope Mark is doing well..
THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOU FOR SHARING AND I NEVER KNEW THAT
and CDZA is gone too evidently, adding insult to injury!

He was the singer in Angels and airwaves too

***** I think their sarcasm meters are busted. Look at this MaximusDtv, can't even use his name, tool.
The sequel just came out so I wanted to hear the original, it stills holds up.
I'm just happy that they did a few extra seconds for Green Day (Yep! i'm a big lover of their music).
And great job you guys. Absolutely loved it!
I got Louis Armstrong for my research person, do you think they'd let me write "Louis Armstrong had a ridiculous voice, source: Key of Awesome"
For school, yea probably not... School sucks like that!
Found this 2 days after Dolores O'Riordon's death. I think she would have been pleased to be included.
that is so cool they are awesome

no they haven´t used a software... its all them

I personally thought he did a pretty good Billie Joe Armstrong (not perfect, but still).
Most people I listen to was on there and I still loved that was very much needed to be done. Love you for doing this
Why have you not made a Green Day parody yet?? I'm a huge Green Day fan as well as a huge KOA fan and I'd love to see a GD parody from you!

maybe your right, couldn't remember the song that well
Bon Scott sung on Highway to Hell.
sorry, I need to work on my AC/DC knowledge, thanx for tellin'' me.
Everything was all fine and dandy until you brought in Billy's voice (Green Day)
But I have to admit, Billy Joe Armstrong's voice is kinda weird.
I kinda feel bad for having to point out that they spelled his name wrong in the video. But even you a fan i believe spelled Billie Joe Armstong wrong.
bigcheese williams Oops.
I don't really see how he has a weird singing voice to me it seems normal but idk
gameslayer49 Yea hes normal
It’s because him and his band are emo kinda
I thought this was really cool, but I thought the band kind of drowned out the singers sometimes
FELLOW ROBOT
HOW IRONIC
Something is very wrong here. We have constructive criticism on a parody video? CODE RED!
I just came here after seeing RV#2. Was not disappointed.
HEY I LIKE GREENDAY. but it's okay you made fun of them because it's funny
It was. And Billie Joe Armstrong does have a bit of a strange (yet awesome) voice so...Yeah.
So you like Greenday huh? Now show me where on your head you were dropped on.
Jose Diaz Thanks for the laugh! Not because your comment was funny, but the fact that you just set me an excellent example of someone who was actually dropped on their head.

Roo Lee To be fair, greenday is basically just a more whiney version of nirvana
Todd's Bob Dylan and Rush impersonations were spot on.
FPS Rucka Those were the 2 I thought were by far the worst in the video, all his impressions were far too high pitched, Geddy Lee is naturally high but not comically squeaky high, Lee has a slight warble to his voice and Petty has a little more bass to his voice than that.
Jester Head Completely agree. I'm glad they included him though, love Geddy!
