Probably one of the best parts of this is how each is clearly trying to keep pace with the lyrics at their own rate of memory...except for the refrain, when they're so much more in synch. It just makes them seem so much more like a group of people (probably smashed, mind you) trying to sing a favorite song together.
I dunno, to me the British/Australian voice just really fits. I dunno, maybe it's because of how deep it is. They didn't get the same voice actor for the third and fourth one, but it's pretty spot on.
the best bit of it is how a couple of them barely know the words clearly, and it just sounds like a bunch of friends on a cruise doing a random spontaneous singalong. this is friggin awesome.
The best part I think is the one guy talking to himself. "This is the break! Break that shit down! Unh!" "Oh shit! The keyboard and shit!" "How come shit don't sound like this now! You know what I'm sayin'? Man!"
god... Dude I fucking cried listening to this after I started hearing shaundi being fucking adorable along with the others voicing coming in and out. I fucking miss when games could make me care about characters. its one of my childhood games that I remember fondly. most modern games don't have near the same effect as this one and others around that time had.
+StrickenRecord My character is more of an asshole who only cares for those who are a part of the saints in some way, and even then, he only develops strong friendships with long-term saints, especially Johnny gat.
Here lies saints row 2, one of the best open world games ever made, from now on he will reside in the ground next to gta san andreas, red dead redemption and just cause 2.
i remember first hearing my character singing along. I actually stopped the car and listened to him....It's so funny to hear them sing the falsetto and the keyboard sounds!
4 is a close second, but only because of the story missions. the mini games are the same junk from 3. Saints of Rage should be playable at an arcade or something afterwards.
ok so I was just playing and I was flying in a helicopter really high up and my character(female voice 1) started singing to it, I have never been so happy that a game could exist with so much unessisary content the just makes you happy and laugh, like shit happens all the time in this game with the npc's its great!
+Master Tunafish Salad There were a lot of *great* bits like this, and all the idle animation bits (like, stand near a group doing yoga, and after a little while the Boss starts doing it as well)...that the devs didn't bother to put in the later games because according to them, noone paid attention to it anyway. Out of the series, 4 may be the most *fun* to play with all the rediculous powers...but 2 is the *best* due to all this as well as the varied city design.
sounds like a multiplayer server with 6 people inside the van with all the different voices and the radio station is set to my radio and the only song is take on me.... EDIT: while there's a homie actually in there, just staring at all the.. well, boss..es? yeah, that wasn't hard to type at all.

One of the best moments in gaming when this song came on at first it's like "no way they have this" but then when u hear the boss start going u just completely lose it
You know, with the characters singing the words at the same time as the song, and not a second later like they do in-game, this doesn't sound half bad.
The radio host makes a comment about the song as well. He says something along the lines of “what was up with the racing helmets”. And if you watched the music video for take on me you would notice that is what he was referencing.
I haven't even played this game but I've been listening to these for 3 and 4 too and by God this is just an ingenious moment in the game. It's fun, it lets the actors have some fun, and it makes the characters seem human. Why isn't this in more games??
I listened to this three times in a row couldn’t stop smiling at the memories this game was my life for few years who ever made this your parents outta be proud and if they’re not I am perfect job
Damn, this made me smile the whole duration! Love that game, especially the moment I heard the player character sing this that 1st time. Thank you so much for this! :)
A truly great video game. Crafted for fun and enjoyment, and made with love. Doesn't pretend to be anything more than it is. They don't make em like this anymore.
i guess ur right. I miss some stuff that was in SR2. Hopefully in the 4th one they'll add stuff like racing. I missed that!! And plus, the challenges seem very easy compared to SR2. I remember it took me 2 weeks straight to finish this one mission.
Just because they did so much chaos in Stillwater , doesn't mean they have a soft side. I would have loved if volition made a video where all the bosses featured in this clip would go on a road trip and you know have fun.
The only part of SR3 and 4 I really miss that was in SR2 was the singing along with the 80s station. Well, that and the 80s station itself. SR4 at least has What is Love, though. That was a fun surprise.
I think it's awesome this was uploaded one day before /co/ sings Jabberjaw Running Underwater and they both basically sound exactly the same. People awkwardly trying to sing along to a song making listeners feel awesome/awkward/confused all at once.
SR2 wasn't better because it was "more realistic". For all of our sakes, we should be glad the world isn't REALLY like SR2. It's more GROUNDED, and it lets you be an agent of chaos and ridiculous violence in a world that SEEMS realistic; it's like letting you be the Joker in the middle of real-life NYC.

From what little I played of SR2, it seems to be a more complex game than SR3 and 4. The thing is though, the control scheme is NOT user friendly (at least compared to SR3). I could NOT get used to the control scheme, so I couldn't really have fun with it. While SR3 and 4 may not be the most well written games, I had tons of fun playing them. SR3 was at its best when it didn't take itself seriously, and SR4 NEVER takes itself seriously.

This sounds like the most dangerous road trip ever.
Subsequently, the most awesome.
6 psychos 1 car millions dead
Dukeofnachos *2nd most dangerous. The most dangerous would involve Gat and an entirely new police force in Stilwater.
Dukeofnachos imagine the drive by this 6 fuckers would do?
Dukeofnachos best comment ever XD
This is and will always be my most favorite video game ever.
***** Thanks man!
***** Awesome! It's only a shame Flippy doesn't upload as much.
youre a great dude mr saints
Luv your content and I agree that this is the best game ever made
Omg I love your vids keep uploading
It sounded like a choir of all the characters. I like it.
it sounds like 4chan/reddit users singing

@@brandonlewis1319A little weird how you split into like 6 people though.
Sounds like all 6 of them are on a road trip. ....God, it would suck being in the same car as them XDDDD This is hilarious hahahaha!
Dude, best road trip EVER!
I pictured all 6 in a bus with an annoyed pierce driving.
***** You know Pierce would be singing right along with them. =) Especially if it was "So Sick".
Shaundi would probably be there too.
Maybe Gat too. He does have a soft side
Every other voice: tries to sing
Male voice 1: fuck these wankers I'll just make sounds
It's my favorite voice to use too, sucks he doesn't sing.
Bawbabwbabababababbododododnananananadododoananananananananadododosnandnananandosoadotchchchcchchcchchchch
the fuck you say?! XD best. line. ever. of all time.

I'm only back here because of Deadpool 2
I'm here cause I have a good taste in music
Mr. Happy Man I love you
Trevor Oldman I love u too
Since when did you get a vagina?
One of the most underappreciated open-world games ever. So much great stuff. This video in particular makes me smile.
Remember this being my first xbxo game at the age of 4 and I loved those first years of my gaming (legitimately crying)
HELLO HI, how are you today?
If you were to ask anybody who’s played all the saints row games which sing along is the best this one would without a doubt would take the top spot.
The best part I think is the one guy talking to himself.
"This is the break! Break that shit down! Unh!"
"Oh shit! The keyboard and shit!"
"How come shit don't sound like this now! You know what I'm sayin'? Man!"
"Them white boys was funky."
god... Dude I fucking cried listening to this after I started hearing shaundi being fucking adorable along with the others voicing coming in and out. I fucking miss when games could make me care about characters. its one of my childhood games that I remember fondly. most modern games don't have near the same effect as this one and others around that time had.
This sounds like a bunch of friends singing along together.
Awesome!
Gat: a typical road trip...
Shaundi: with the Boss...
Pierce: ...es
Legit tears from singing along with this the memories are too strong the invisible onions are getting cut
Josh Tongamana Ikr
You know what is also sad.... Carlos's death and his story
Boss is such a bad singer, it makes him just dang loveable despite his/her Complete Monster status.
His/her bad singing reminds everyone he's/she's not such a brute...
+StrickenRecord ... Troper detected.
falscher2
Ya better believe it.
StrickenRecord ok, who is it I am talking to?
+StrickenRecord My character is more of an asshole who only cares for those who are a part of the saints in some way, and even then, he only develops strong friendships with long-term saints, especially Johnny gat.
If you sang along after you heard the Boss singing this, you're a true Saint.
Saints Row for fucking ever, Saints for life!!
Valerio TheItalianRocker Saints Row is the best :)
Hell, I'd sing along to this song anyways, 80s music is best music. SR2 had the best 80s radio since Vice City.
TMB11Productions Absolutely yeah! Saints Row is extremely fun :) since the first to the last !!
Until III and iv came along
I love how they all come back into sync when it hits ILLLLL BEEEEE GOOOONE! in the chorus. XD Priceless.
I think that was male three
Saints Row 2 was the best in series... amazing game :>
Universe Man wish I could play it again on Xbox one
MrRonock
True that homie.
it really was but sometimes i really miss sr1 lmao
I would love a remaster of SR 2 but it probably wont happen.
can't believe i've been coming back to this banger for 15 years
Here lies saints row 2, one of the best open world games ever made, from now on he will reside in the ground next to gta san andreas, red dead redemption and just cause 2.
RIP
yea im dacinin
you forgot gta IV
what about it
Maurice Reyes it was a great game
i remember first hearing my character singing along. I actually stopped the car and listened to him....It's so funny to hear them sing the falsetto and the keyboard sounds!
Sounds like a buncha friends travelling together lol
Best saints row ever
Finally someone who agrees
+Ryan Fisher What do you mean 'finally'? There are plenty of people who say SR2 is the best, where've you been?
4 is a close second, but only because of the story missions. the mini games are the same junk from 3. Saints of Rage should be playable at an arcade or something afterwards.
+hxunted memories it just seem like the newer games are a lot more well known
Yeah best Saints Row game ever! :)
Kidz bop for gangstas
This sounds like all of the bosses that were ever made having the best party ever!! :D
i sang along and it felt like everyone was singing with me (god im pathetic)
Lord Vader don't worry bro I pictured myself on stage singing it with a tone of people 😂
Well you did get your arm and both legs cut off.
I though i was the only one
ok so I was just playing and I was flying in a helicopter really high up and my character(female voice 1) started singing to it, I have never been so happy that a game could exist with so much unessisary content the just makes you happy and laugh, like shit happens all the time in this game with the npc's its great!

@@VulpisFoxfire hows it the BEST but sr 4 is more fun, no its borin sr 2 is more fun which is why is da best
I love how none of the characters even know the lyrics. Volition did a great job with this.
That unified moment as a nation that you would feel if every one in America sang this.
Shit i wished with todays climate
@@boone4531 yeah today’s climate almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
sounds like a multiplayer server with 6 people inside the van with all the different voices and the radio station is set to my radio and the only song is take on me.... EDIT: while there's a homie actually in there, just staring at all the.. well, boss..es?
yeah, that wasn't hard to type at all.
Listening to this, 12 years later after being posted brings a really bright smile to my face, which I really needed. Nice work!
Next time I go into the school bathroom, I will sing this in the stall to make the others feel weird.

This gotta be one of if not the best feature in gaming history
One of the best moments in gaming when this song came on at first it's like "no way they have this" but then when u hear the boss start going u just completely lose it
this always puts a smile on my face when listening to this, i love every single character singing on Saint's Row II :D
My cousin and I used to sing to this all the time, this game was great.
Ugh. I remember when 20 minutes ago my person sang this. Ah, Memories. xD
"this is my shit!" hahahaha
imagine them singing "what is love?"
Saints row 4 should of done that
@@UltimateGamer-ps9bv ik and we're late
Thats too fun for sr 4
Smh they should add what is love, take on me, and bohemian rhapsody in sr5
I about died when I first heard my character sing along. So thank you for this lol!!
It's beautiful 😢😢😢
😂😂😂😂 hell yea
You know, with the characters singing the words at the same time as the song, and not a second later like they do in-game, this doesn't sound half bad.
We all sing this song like this.
When yo Limo's full of yo homies and yo jam comes on!
POV you just killed Julius
Puts a smile on my face
The radio host makes a comment about the song as well. He says something along the lines of “what was up with the racing helmets”. And if you watched the music video for take on me you would notice that is what he was referencing.
This totally fits the game. It didn't take itself serious, which made it amazingly fun. Can't wait for the third installment
Oh god, the ''take on me'' at 3:22, it is amazing.
3:22
I haven't even played this game but I've been listening to these for 3 and 4 too and by God this is just an ingenious moment in the game. It's fun, it lets the actors have some fun, and it makes the characters seem human. Why isn't this in more games??
This is fuckin magical
I love saints row 2 as well
not just this song, but it has to be on your personal playlist, not just the radio. This is awesome, thanks for the effort!
I know I’m years late but thank you for this amazing video. This is just perfection on so many levels. 😌
I listened to this three times in a row couldn’t stop smiling at the memories this game was my life for few years who ever made this your parents outta be proud and if they’re not I am perfect job
Male 1 with thw totally off key not even trying 😂😂 and all his "woooo"
saints row 2 needs to be remastered for ps4 right fucking now
Yes they fuckinrg do
and with the same voice overs too, not really a fan of the ones in 3&4
that too
if it were i'd fucking cry.
tears of joy, sweet sweet joy. < :_)
And have the remaster get ported to PC with a non shit PC port
this game put me on to take on me lmao.
hearing the voices put all put together is like a big happy family
I looked like an idiot when I was screaming this song with people around. I couldn't help it.
Haha love this song, it was so random when my character started singing along, did not expect that lol
It's weird listening to this and looking at the background.
Damn, this made me smile the whole duration!
Love that game, especially the moment I heard the player character sing this that 1st time.
Thank you so much for this! :)
my first playthrough brought me here. that being yesterday...
This is only one of many reasons why I still play this game.
This sounds so beautiful
The Chorus is so amazing, gave me chills first time I heard it lol
This slowly gets headache inducing, beautiful

And now that the SR2 source code has been found, SR2 on pc will get an update
Completed the game more than 7 times.... Found out about this now
It makes me cry.I LOVE IT SO MUCH!
The british voice guy doesn't even sing most of the time. He just imitates the synth.
It's $5 bucks on PlayStation 3, I think I should I buy it
Absolutely you should
Johnny Gat ULTRA SUPER LATE, but its free on steam
Tobbsnobb Yeah I know
This video still makes me happy every time I listen to it ^__^
This is one of the Funniest, unusual Achievements ('Trophies') I've ever seen.
If your not singing along, your dead inside
The high note!
this is awesome, they actually sound great together!!!
Saints Row 2 is totally the bebst game Volition has made. It's sad to see how they stepped down on the quality of their games.
makes it seem like a young group of friends all singing along together and not various voices of a sociopath
I feel that the girls actually sang pretty good
Just because they did so much chaos in Stillwater , doesn't mean they have a soft side. I would have loved if volition made a video where all the bosses featured in this clip would go on a road trip and you know have fun.
How I think I sound singing: a ha
How I actually sound: the boss
This is absolutely beautiful
Ah these were the good o'l days of saints row its really sad...
Everytime i listen to this song around, it reminds me of this clip and game

Honestly we kinda got that with Gatt Out Of Hell
This sure does put a smile on my face.
SR2 wasn't better because it was "more realistic". For all of our sakes, we should be glad the world isn't REALLY like SR2. It's more GROUNDED, and it lets you be an agent of chaos and ridiculous violence in a world that SEEMS realistic; it's like letting you be the Joker in the middle of real-life NYC. SR3 and onward assumed people would want more ridiculous nonsense, which it delivered at the expense of basically everything else. (Including writing quality and mission complexity. Sweet Jesus did those games get repetitive.)
From what little I played of SR2, it seems to be a more complex game than SR3 and 4. The thing is though, the control scheme is NOT user friendly (at least compared to SR3). I could NOT get used to the control scheme, so I couldn't really have fun with it. While SR3 and 4 may not be the most well written games, I had tons of fun playing them. SR3 was at its best when it didn't take itself seriously, and SR4 NEVER takes itself seriously.
nope. saints row was always suppose to be a gangster trilogy
I find sr1 and sr2 to be gangsta and sr3 is going off the gangsta road and sr4 is just ALIENS
