Awesome. Just shows chase that dream. Dont let them tell you you can't. Have fun. Make people smile. You may not make a dime but to have the ability to make people even for an instant forget thier problems well is that not what it's really all about. Ladies and gents leep a rockin. At 50+, i intend on joining yall. So ROCK ON!
David and Ken taking the well-worn route to rock super stardom: (Step 1) Become friends in school. (Step 2) Spend 30 years toiling in the world of scripted comedy. (Step 3) Form a band.
Props for him for trying to pull off the impossible hi-hat/kick drum fill in the break down, as played by drummer "Boom" Carter on Springsteen's version.
I wonder if that’s a sign he has a friend at a drum shop that said ‘I will put a kit together for you’…that is what happened for me. All Zildjan cymbals and whatever he decided to put together for me to keep price down.
@@danielandrewgrant Because it's a great tune, and from time to time a cover turns out to be BETTER than the original. Take All Along the Watchtower for example. Written by Bob Dylan, nailed to the Billboard charts by Jimi Hendrix. I'm not saying the Dads version is better than the Boss. But, they did it justice. And you never know unless you give it a chance. Cheers
I cannot get enough of these guys. I’ve always been a huge fan of Marino as an actor, especially from eastbound and down have no idea why but I just love that show and I thought he was hilarious but these guys are really good!
WOW!!! Bodie gotta say that he's blown away by the MADJB!! He just couldn't stop himself boogie-n around the room. Don't stop guys, geezers rule!! Rock on with yer bad selves!!
Greetings from Long Island. NY. I stumbled across your cover of Scenes From an Italian Restaurant. Then I found your page and watched your cover of Born To Run. Now, once I post this comment I will be subscribing to your channel. Wishing you all success.
You nailed it folks, it's not a pale attempt at recreation, in is instead a remembering and bring the music and spirit through time to this time where they meld prefectly.
This is fantastic. Read about you guys doing this and was sad I’d never get to see it. Now I’m sad I never get to be a part of it. I want a Wet Hot American Summer style movie about a group of dads trying to recapture the wonder and mystique of youth by winning a battle of the bands. I’m being very demanding, so I’ll add please, and I love you.
So I had a great huge epiphany about my life about two months ago. Feeling good and Running hard at 50. I found you all around that same time and these versions of these great songs done with such talent are the soundtrack of my life right now. Keep doing what you do and thanks for entertaining me since the 90's Gen X.
OR bring in someone like Maya Rudolph (who we know has pipes) as a Middle Aged Mom and do "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". Basically I'm in for ANY Jim Steinman song. 😁
Ken Marino has been holding out on us. Been a fan for around 30 years and never would have suspected this particular talent. Which isn't to take anything away from the rest of the band. They back him 100%. But dude is a first rate front man.
@@markw110 He's been in a bunch of great movies and tv shows for years. I recommend checking out the show "Party Down" it's a severely underrated tv show.
The instrumentalists in this rendition are INCREDIBLE! Like, I love the singer--he's got a Springsteenian vibe, but it's a lot easier to listen because it's easier to understand what he's saying--but the E Street Band has always been what I've been more entranced by, and these musicians do a great job of emulating them. Not sounding exactly like Clarence and Mad Max and Stevie Van Zandt and the rest, but giving it a hint of their own style. The saxophonist particularly impressed me. I came for 867-5309, and I am SO glad I stayed for this incredible cover of one of my favorite bands.
If you ask me how I feel about this cover, I guess I'd have to respond that I wanna dip my balls in it! I wasn't expecting that and, no disrespect to Bruce, but I actually can make out the lyrics so much clearer with Ken's singing- keep it up!
I'm not a huge fan of Springsteen's music, but it turns out if Bruce was Ken Marino and the E-Street Band was a bunch of middle-aged dads and dudes and offspring and a sweet string section, I actually really dig it!
I love you taking some of these admittedly cheesy, but glorious tunes and pouring love and energy into 'em. Just shows the pure joy of making music together. More please!
This song is so iconic and so hard to get right ... but you did it! Much respect. Great set-up. Love the studio vibe. Having fun, playing music with friends... that's a great life. Cheers.
Awesome, No thoughts left ... mind blown. Though I would like to hear Journey's 'Any Way You Want It', or Billy Joel's 'We Didn't Start The Fire.' ... On that note ... If we are talking about great Journey songs there is also 'Oh Sherrie.'
I've been a fan of The State since the original broadcasts and somehow I'm continually impressed and surprised by the sheer amount of talent that came out of that group. Also, this reminds me very much of a band my late cousin and his wife were in many years ago. I think they would have loved this. And as much as I wish I could send your videos back in time to them, I'm okay with just having a reason to remember them and smile.
Love the red heads representing for Patty! Gotta say, what ever that dad that plays sax is using on his skin is really working! He looks mid 20's at best! Keep on rocking in the free world. Also my song request.
More of these videos on the way - let us know your requests / thoughts!
I Love LA randy newman
Can you guys do any metallica
Italian restaurant!!
Rosanna by Toto!
This kicked ass! Maybe some Jackson Browne next?
Were we all supposed to just GUESS that Ken Marino had the voice of an angel all this time
He did sing “Private Eyes” out the office window at Veronica Mars that time but it was just a couple of seconds. This is a revelation!
Search for Porcupine Racetrack
Could you cover Come On Eileen?
@@gingerpierce9178 ua-cam.com/video/nVTzXvD1Mqo/v-deo.html
I had no clue to me I just thought he was a great actor and a fun guy. 😅
Awesome. Just shows chase that dream. Dont let them tell you you can't. Have fun. Make people smile. You may not make a dime but to have the ability to make people even for an instant forget thier problems well is that not what it's really all about.
Ladies and gents leep a rockin. At 50+, i intend on joining yall.
So ROCK ON!
David and Ken taking the well-worn route to rock super stardom:
(Step 1) Become friends in school.
(Step 2) Spend 30 years toiling in the world of scripted comedy.
(Step 3) Form a band.
(Step 4)) call in favors from pro musicians you know...
@@bbanzai444whoa whoa whoa cool it with the parentheses there adolp
Met Ken Marino once. Nicest guy in the world, funniest guy in the world, and now one of the greatest voices in the world. Unreal.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate that sublime drumming? G'day from Australia!!
Props for him for trying to pull off the impossible hi-hat/kick drum fill in the break down, as played by drummer "Boom" Carter on Springsteen's version.
On The Darkside - Eddie and the Cruisers
BUMP THIS!!!!
Good one!!
Oh hell yeah
Great pick!
Yeah Eddie and the Cruisers.
Blinded by the light should be on your playlist
The original Bruce, or the Manfred Mann?
Or maybe both?
@@unclemikeyplaysLet's face it: the Manfred Mann's Earth Band cover was WAYYYY better.
Goodbye horses by Q Lazzarus
Alright - these 2 vids have been fantastic - Now the challenge - Paradise by the Dashboard Light. You know you want to...
YES!!!!
Oh damn yes
I bet they beat the crap out of it. 😊
Ken’s delivery is like Springsteen in the style of a Broadway musical.
That's a great way of putting it!
Nice.
Off Broadway
You can actually understand the lyrics (other than the song title)!
@@56Fitguy My thoughts exactly, with several of these videos!
"Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness. I will love you with all the madness in my soul". Still one of my favorite lines ever.
I always loved that he refers to himself and Wendy as “tramps”. 🥰
@@karenstrand-arteaga9848its beautiful! ❤
Agreed.
stumbling upon these videos makes my heart happy.
They were injected inside us. No stumbling till that plunger goes deep.
That's gonna leave a mark! Come on and party tonight 🙌
"David Wain uses Zildjian cymbals but is open to be sponsored by any drum company." Classic.
I just saw that. That's absolutely hilarious
I wonder if that’s a sign he has a friend at a drum shop that said ‘I will put a kit together for you’…that is what happened for me. All Zildjan cymbals and whatever he decided to put together for me to keep price down.
Stanley Tucci and Sylvester Stallone on vocals absolutely KILLEDDDD ittt!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not gunna lie...And anyone over 50 here will say the same thing....THANK YOU!
Under 50 as well.
Why wouldn’t you just listen to the original?
@@danielandrewgrant Because it's a great tune, and from time to time a cover turns out to be BETTER than the original. Take All Along the Watchtower for example. Written by Bob Dylan, nailed to the Billboard charts by Jimi Hendrix.
I'm not saying the Dads version is better than the Boss. But, they did it justice. And you never know unless you give it a chance.
Cheers
ua-cam.com/video/vrmZAXezkhA/v-deo.htmlsi=2qcuSqxe4cm9dmX_
A clear step behind but like the effort. It’s not easy to be the Boss.
Are we all just going to ignore how the violinist and cello player are the most attractive middle age dads ever?
All middle age dads are beautiful
If Ray Charles had the Raylettes, maybe here we have the Dadettes.
This song depends on really strong drumming and David Wain has knocked it out of the park.
Do Thunder Road!!
He's not playing it. This was built in a DAW. That isn't those drums. It's not what he's playing.
Clarification please. What is a DAW? That isn’t those drums? What isn’t those those drums?
@@mudhens4ever Digital Audio Workstation.
I cannot get enough of these guys. I’ve always been a huge fan of Marino as an actor, especially from eastbound and down have no idea why but I just love that show and I thought he was hilarious but these guys are really good!
You make me realize I am wasting time every day I am not playing music!!!! Keep the videos coming!!!! So much fun
The saxophone player is David Wain's son and the violinist is David Wain's niece.
She is Queen Esplen! Show respect.
@@mknayman I just saw Role Models so I finally get your reference.
@@needles1987 nice! She’s great in that small role. Whole movie is hilarious
If you haven’t seen They Came Together it’s another Wain banger
Fucking knew I recognized her from somewhere @@mknayman
@@mknaymanit's one of my faves! 😅
WOW!!! Bodie gotta say that he's blown away by the MADJB!! He just couldn't stop himself boogie-n around the room. Don't stop guys, geezers rule!! Rock on with yer bad selves!!

日本人だけど、この曲が、大好きなんだ。
とても良い演奏だね。
疲れた時、また聴くね！
Well if these guys don't know how to entertain, no-one does! So much talent in one garage!
Eastbound and Down and now this. This is awesome. Keep that music coming. Thank you, UA-cam algorithm for sending this my way.
Huey Lewis. Power of Love.. You all Rock
David Wain throwing down on the drums! What a revelation!

I'd go see that!
I swear this has been done... 🤔🤔🤔
But who is going to illegally seduce the art teacher
I'd watch it with these guys in it.
I’m a HUGE boss fan and that was superb the drummer is just SICK
Y'all look like you are having fun...and bonus, you sound great too! Thanks for sharing!
Amazing covers, with the bonus of the words being clearly sung. I had never heard many of those words before! 😊
GREATEST! ROCK! SONG! EVER!!!!

Wow, thank you steve - go gen X !!!
Well NOW you gotta do "Bat Out of Hell". 😁
That would be EPIC!
Thirded! (I would second, but someone beat me to it!)
Add my voice as a fourth! Yes!

@markw110 long story short, he's been doing sketch and scripted comedy for decades.
@@markw110 He's been in a bunch of great movies and tv shows for years. I recommend checking out the show "Party Down" it's a severely underrated tv show.
Saw a snippet of MADJB doing The Weight. I would absolutely love to see the full version here.
I hope you all are having as much fun as it looks like you are!
It's scripted.
Dude, Bruce is totally appreciating this!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
These guys have good taste in music 🎶🎶
The instrumentalists in this rendition are INCREDIBLE!

Like totally loving these guys! You slam it out of the park! How about some Boston?
Good to see Captain Stentley keeping busy after leaving the "99" NINE! NINE!
THAT'S GONNA LEAVE A MARK!
Come on and party tonight.
@@faunaflage Ugh. You're not even using it right.
These videos are my favorite. I'm really loving this new new new Ron.
you guys are awesome!!!!!
HE CAN'T LOVE YOU by The Michael Stanley Band! Never heard anyone cover that great song! With your horn section it would sound AMAZING!!!
Love that idea! Wain's hometown heroes!
The nailed the feeling of desperation perfectly.
Amazing! Thank you for making something I didn't know I needed.
Ken, are you living your dream right now? Loving this new chapter.
You guys are living my dream!!!
You All reminded me of days past (70's)walking in some Bar and getting blown away by a band like yourself 😊 those were the Days ❤
You guys are amazing.
Requests:
The outfield-Your love
Sister Christian
The tongue in cheek is fun, but the musicality is there in spades. Good one.
Just 2 songs and I’ve subscribed. Great covers and fun to watch.
I went to World Peace Camp in ME and saw the original Rockin' Knights of Summer. Genuinely you guys rocked. You blew the roof off the place.
Wedren's backing vocals shouldn't be underestimated
Ken Marino's voice. Damn!
Great job guys. Your drummer is throwing mad Bun E. Carlos vibes lol :)
You folks are outstanding! You look like you're having a great time together. Enjoyed your video immensely.
If you ask me how I feel about this cover, I guess I'd have to respond that I wanna dip my balls in it!

Get in the bin. Now. Must be the only person in the universe who isn’t a Bruce fan.
Come back to Seattle! I just discovered this band, and I missed the show in December.
Shit…same here.
I love you taking some of these admittedly cheesy, but glorious tunes and pouring love and energy into 'em. Just shows the pure joy of making music together. More please!
Cheesy???
Nothing cheesy about Born to Run!!
@@MrCarrera28 The way The Boss performs it, no.
U guys are great. Love the professionalism
Fabulous!
These videos make me feel so good. You guys!!! Keep them coming!! Sound is perfect, and EVERYONE is pumped. LOVE IT!
This song is so iconic and so hard to get right ... but you did it! Much respect. Great set-up. Love the studio vibe. Having fun, playing music with friends... that's a great life. Cheers.

Great song. Great rendition.
This is what we need right now.
Ken Marino got some flipping pipes and David Wain crushing it. Great stuff everybody.
This is the greatest thing I never knew I needed.

That was fucking rad. I never knew those boys were jamming like that.
it's just..myfavoritething thank you
Keep up the great work guys (and gals). 👍👍👍👍😁
Y'all are Amazing..Thank You!!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤
This is my new favorite channel holy smokes
I normally don't like stuff like this but this was pretty damn good
The drummer is excellent. Great job team.

Y'all nailed this one, too! What a great ride!
The Infinity Scarf Guy finally got his chance. Big thumbs up!
As Doug might say, "this is very copacetic." Nicely done, guys.
Doug has become Dad
Absolutely love this! Some 80s new wave would be awesome!
That "New York" shirt is a brave choice for this song.
Love this! Victor's Springsteen impression is less than perfect, but this video is so fun to watch!
1) LOVE IT and look forward to more 2) Mr Springsteen should take notes at 3:10
Guys, this is awesome! Can we buy tickets to sit on your driveway while you rehearse?
That made me grin - thanks!
This makes me realize you guys would ROCK doing Meatloaf or Bob Seger.
This might be the best band I have seen this century
I feel like you would absolutely kill Dancing in the Dark, or even We Didn't Start the Fire! Can't wait to hear more from you
Wow. Amazing cover. The drummer is freaking awesome
David Wain played the lick!! Omg that was awesome!!
Well, I'm not sure if this is the best Springsteen cover on UA-cam...but it's certainly the most fun.
the drumming is great and the essence of this song.
When I wished for exactly this on that Monkey's Paw I assumed there would be some sort of downside but it really came together nicely
