dude what i used to be a massive mcr fan and common people is my favourite song of all time/pulp is one of my favourite bands, and i'm just now learning about this????
MCR just want to try new music out that time. For those who don't know, Gerard Way stated in the Sydney's Opera House in Australia that after he finished Black Parade, he was done with the band. He wanted to END the band a long time ago as he let out his feelings already through his lyrics and music but he felt it wasn't right to end the band so early. So he put out Danger Days to try out something new for the band (only thing he would come up with to have some more fun than his previous albums). I don't think Gerard was at all interested in the money much but he USED his band as therapy for himself. The music from Black Parade was all he wanted to show to all the "kids" who can relate to him. I just felt like typing this all out for people who don't know much about Gerard's whole motive at that time. :)
Not really a fan of MCR but huge respect for Gerard having enough artistic integrity to know when to call it instead of being one of those bands that goes on for decades phoning it in.
If you saw them at Reading festival, where they performed Queens We Will Rock You, then you'd probably of noticed that Gerard has a Freddie Mercury quality about him!
@@ReclusiveHTID There are plenty of musicologists and other academics who have been able to quantify music in many ways. Sure, taste can be subjective and "to each his own", but to write that music cannot be objectively measured for quality flies in the face of at least a thousand years of studies focused on music. What YOU like and do not like has no bearing on the quality of a musical piece. An entire branch of philosophy works to define beauty (including in music) and is called Aesthetics. There is music that is decidedly NOT brilliant that I enjoy, and music that is brilliant that I do not care for, but at least I have the honesty to make such assessments. If you want to argue for or against if the music is a brilliant cover, do so; you do not get to cancel other's opinions by covering your ears and complaining that there is no such thing as rational argument regarding musical taste.
Gerard Way has a very special gift which he showcases in every single performance. He sings with an emotion that is rare, so much so that you hang onto his every word and feel the impact of every single lyric. The band as a whole remain true to their essence throughout and give every performance their heart and soul. When MRC decides to do a cover it's never with the intention of doing it better, it's alway with the intention of paying homage and appreciation. These guys have good morals and very good messages to youngsters who have self-esteem issues. This is the type of role model that I would rather have my daughter look up to and be inspired by, which she does as do I. Good job MCR and thank you for the music!!!
Exactly. I can’t listen to people who are very technical in their singing. I don’t care how “perfect” it is if I don’t feel it, if I don’t buy it, I literally don’t give a shit! This is what drew me so obsessively to MCR in high school and onwards until… forever 🎉🥰
My only issue with holding on to every word is that Gerard is often really hard to understand. I cling to every word when I eventually learn them, though.
Whoever sings this song, the lyrics stand on their own - imo. The best vantage point (I have found) is being a "fan" of nothing/noONE and taking each 'offering' as it comes. There is passion here if nothing else. I suspect there IS something else...
They all look so excited to be performing this. They look like they are just so happy to be doing this song, like they just adore it and have been waiting years to do it. It makes me so happy.
pulp y el britpop nunca fue famoso en EU la mayoría de los artistas que hacen covers de pulpo son británicos es muy raro verlos de gente del nuevo mundo pero es muy bueno viva pulp
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College That's where I Caught her eye She told me that her dad was loaded I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola She said fine And then in thirty seconds time she said I wanna live like common people I wanna do whatever common people do Wanna sleep with common people I wanna sleep with common people Like you Oh what else could I do I said I'll, I'll see what I can do I took her to a supermarket I don't know why But I had to start it somewhere So it started there I said pretend you've got no money She just laughed and said Oh you're so funny I said; yeah I can't see anyone else smiling in here Are you sure? You wanna live like common people You wanna see whatever common people see Wanna sleep with common people You wanna sleep with common people Like me But she didn't understand She just smiled and held my hand Rent a flat above a shop Cut your hair and get a job Smoke some fags and play some pool Pretend you never went to school But still you'll never get it right 'Cause when you're laid in bed at night Watching roaches climb the wall If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah You'll never live like common people You'll never do whatever common people do You'll never fail like common people You'll never watch your life slide out of view And you dance and drink and screw Because there's nothing else to do Sing along with the common people Sing along and it might just get you through Laugh along with the common people Laugh along even though they're really laughing at you And the stupid things that you do Because you think that poor is cool Like a dog lying in a corner They will bite you and never warn you Look out, they'll tear your insides out 'Cause everybody hates a tourist Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh Yeah and the chip stains and grease Will come out in the bath You will never understand How it feels to live your life With no meaning or control And with nowhere left to go You are amazed that they exist And they burn so bright Whilst you can only wonder why Rent a flat above a shop Cut your hair and get a job Smoke some fags and play some pool Pretend you never went to school But still you'll never get it right 'Cause when you're laid in bed at night Watching roaches climb the wall If you called your dad he could stop it all Yeah Never live like common people Never do what common people do Never fail like common people You'll never watch your life slide out of view And then dance and drink and screw Because there's nothing else to do Wanna live with common people like you Wanna live with common people like you Wanna live with common people like you Wanna live with common people like you Wanna live with common people like you Wanna live with common people like you I wanna live with common people like you Oh, la, la, la, la Oh, la, la, la, la Oh, la, la, la, la Oh, la, la, la, la Oh you
I love pulp to bits and this a really good cover! It beats Keane's version of Disco 2000 out of a %%%%king window and beats it senseless on a pavement!
So ok some ppl saying they don’t feel the emotion like with Pulp...I disagree. When Gee sings “you will *NEVER* understand, how it *feels* to live your life, with no *meaning* or *control*, and with *nowhere* left to go...you are AMAZED that they exist, and they burn so bright whilst you can only wonder WHY?” (Emphasis mine...sort of) those lines ALWAYS make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. It feels like he’s reaching down into his deepest angst and laying out the HEART of this anthem...the straining & agony in his voice for these lines makes me feel for a moment like he’s not a superstar anymore but back to being a misunderstood, gritty 16 year old kid who’s just LOST & has no hope like so many of the rest of us...just gives me FEEEELLLLSSSS....🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤😍🤘🏻
This song omg I just found out it existed I'm a thorough fan of Pulp and so is my dad and to find out my favourite American band done a cover was great aha
i adore this cover and fidlar’s cover and (of course) the original but i think my personal favorite is this version. not saying it’s the best but i like it the most. it’s probably just personal bias as mcr is my favorite band and gerard my favorite artist, but his voice just puts something so amazing into this already amazing song
I adore them in everything they do. Take it or leave it, they love doing music. I can see it in their eyes. The same look I had when I finally got to perform at the bar in my little shitty town. Me and my band get this way... so. Yeah. I love this band, and listen to a song or two daily.
One of my favourite songs of all time done by my current favourite band ... weird and wonderful, not sure I like MCR's version because I love the original so much, but I love MCR so it will grow on me. Funny thing is I also sing this in my (very infrequent and rarely seen) duo Al~ca~Chaz. This IS a grower!
My favourite band covering my Dad's favourite song
Haha, that's funny. Old and new, even though MCR is 13 years old.
Same
Bless your dad ❤ cause Pulp is the masterpiece of British music
SAME
I'm guessing you're from the year 2000 pun intended.
Why am i only just learning that this video exists???
Me today
Pulp and mcr are two of my favorite bands and I just found this today.
dude what i used to be a massive mcr fan and common people is my favourite song of all time/pulp is one of my favourite bands, and i'm just now learning about this????
Exactly same

Nice thoughts
Even as an MCR fan, this is objectively a decidedly brilliant American cover of a thoroughly British song.

It is.
An even better version is by William Shatner
Oh Gerard...wearing sunglasses indoors
Ray bans ... for the common people 😅
Cocaine
I would die if they release a studio version of this song cover.
The production is SO good here that it's hard to believe it's a live recording.
4:00 : Gerard Way
4:02 : Brendon Urie
lmao
omg haha

Their style here fits this song so well, it sounds like foreshadowing to Gerard’s poppier solo work

A friend of mine recently got me into MCR and I’m a huge britpop fan so this is the perfect clashing of two worlds hahah
BEAUTIFUL! Gerards voice with this song is amazing! And Rays guitar solo is pretty darn snazzy :D
This reminds me of Gee's style for Hesitant Alien
+Lexi H it's cause hesitant alien is influenced by britpop and pulp is literally the definition of britpop
+no my dear, that chapter is done. Did you just forget the biggest icons of britpop, you yank
Kuro Neko sORRY pulp is ONE of the largest britpop bands along with blur, oasis, suede, radiohead, the stone roses, morrissey, ect.
+Rick Astley let me put it this way, there's blur and oasis' rivalry then there's the rest of britpop
Kuro Neko there you go. better explanation than mine
What a great cover this is, didn't expect it to be this good.
I was lucky to see Pulp at Reading Festival 2011 and they were just incredible. Their stage presence was amazing and Cocker has the moves!
Jarvis Chris
Looking back I am glad Pulp reached as far as they did and still do. Massively under-known band of the Brit-pop era.
pulp y el britpop nunca fue famoso en EU la mayoría de los artistas que hacen covers de pulpo son británicos es muy raro verlos de gente del nuevo mundo pero es muy bueno viva pulp
Omg this was a childhood song and Gerard is singing it can you hear me crying
Now I REALLY want to listen to Pulp, I never really listen to them and this just encourages me.
Pulp is great band!
fudgeiskindacool Different Class and This is Hardcore are just absolutely incredible albums.
agree💖💖💖💖
fudgeiskindacool same
They’re so good and Jarvis Cocker is such a character
i'm a huge pulp fan and i have to say this is an brilliant cover...can't lie
i’m loosing my mind how did i not know about this
She came from Greece she had a thirst for knowledge
She studied sculpture at Saint Martin's College
That's where I
Caught her eye
She told me that her dad was loaded
I said, in that case I'll have rum and Coca-Cola
She said fine
And then in thirty seconds time she said
I wanna live like common people
I wanna do whatever common people do
Wanna sleep with common people
I wanna sleep with common people
Like you
Oh what else could I do
I said I'll, I'll see what I can do
I took her to a supermarket
I don't know why
But I had to start it somewhere
So it started there
I said pretend you've got no money
She just laughed and said
Oh you're so funny
I said; yeah
I can't see anyone else smiling in here
Are you sure?
You wanna live like common people
You wanna see whatever common people see
Wanna sleep with common people
You wanna sleep with common people
Like me
But she didn't understand
She just smiled and held my hand
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all, yeah
You'll never live like common people
You'll never do whatever common people do
You'll never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And you dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do
Sing along with the common people
Sing along and it might just get you through
Laugh along with the common people
Laugh along even though they're really laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool
Like a dog lying in a corner
They will bite you and never warn you
Look out, they'll tear your insides out
'Cause everybody hates a tourist
Especially one who thinks it's all such a laugh
Yeah and the chip stains and grease
Will come out in the bath
You will never understand
How it feels to live your life
With no meaning or control
And with nowhere left to go
You are amazed that they exist
And they burn so bright
Whilst you can only wonder why
Rent a flat above a shop
Cut your hair and get a job
Smoke some fags and play some pool
Pretend you never went to school
But still you'll never get it right
'Cause when you're laid in bed at night
Watching roaches climb the wall
If you called your dad he could stop it all
Yeah
Never live like common people
Never do what common people do
Never fail like common people
You'll never watch your life slide out of view
And then dance and drink and screw
Because there's nothing else to do
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
Wanna live with common people like you
I wanna live with common people like you
Oh, la, la, la, la
Oh, la, la, la, la
Oh, la, la, la, la
Oh, la, la, la, la
Oh you
Certainly has a rockier edge to it.
Love the original and this cover....greaaaattt diff sound
Just wanna say thanks for uploading this, it introduced me to pulp who I've spent my last few weeks obsessing over
This should be Like A Version. And also should be on Spotify.
Gerard's voice is amazing 😍
I prefer the original but they did a good job on it! MCR
pulp es dificil de superar...
My favourite childhood band covering my favourite (current) teenagerhood song
Brilliant
Wtf they legit only showed Mikey for like half a second at the very end
I was wondering why Mikey wasn't there! I thought maybe he just wasn't there that day or something. Poor Mikey.
How had I never heard/ seen this before? Classic Pulp, and MCR more than do it justice--love!
I never knew this existed!!
Great Cover
Fucking awesome cover
Wtf ! That’s perfect cover lads...
what an awesome cover
I absolutely love this cover it's so perfect
This is one of the best covers I have ever heard
my favorite band covering my other favorite band's song thank you gideon nav for this miracle. gootbye.
I love this cover so much!!
This is frikken AWESOME.
They have to come back........
Ew no they don't
+Mrs. lesterfuentes ???
Kilo Juliet ...You don't want an MCR comeback/reunion?
Um, how about no
As much as I would want a reunion, all the members seem happy now and that’s all that really matters to me
Amazing cover :D
Wasn't sure about this at the beginning, but it really picks up and I think I like it.
Decent cover didn’t think it would work from the title alone but it definitely does
I love pulp to bits and this a really good cover! It beats Keane's version of Disco 2000 out of a %%%%king window and beats it senseless on a pavement!

I love this cover :3 It's been stuck in my head for 3 days
Fire

One of my favourite songs performed by one of my favourite bands. Fuck, this is awesome
omg this is freakin awesome, brillant song from pulp, brillant cover, MCR are bloody amazing
This song + My Chemical Romance.= Amazing. MCR isn't just Gerard.
wow one of my fave songs, sung by my all time fave band!
this just made my day :D
This is perfection! I love MCR. I may only be 13, But i know good music when i hear it! :P Gerards voice is just MADE for this song! xx
god i remember watching this video every single day
oh my god,i just listen my fav song cover by my chemical romance
I adore them in everything they do. Take it or leave it, they love doing music. I can see it in their eyes. The same look I had when I finally got to perform at the bar in my little shitty town. Me and my band get this way... so. Yeah. I love this band, and listen to a song or two daily.
Life does not have to be either or! Both the cover and the original are wonderful in different ways. Gerard is the Jersey Jarvis.
this is waaaay to good! *shook*
Ok just saw this today! Brilliant!!
this is such an AWESOME cover~!!!!!
1st time Ive seen this band and I think its better than the original.!!! And Im pulps biggest fan and 50 years old
+Andy Ayre I like more this version too
I'm two years late, but if you haven't already checked out more songs by this band you totally should. :)
lєmσn pєαr sams but i regret to say that, they gone.
shhhhhhhh
Love how each instrumentalist here seem to be really into it really enjoying playing it lol
This Is FUCKING Amazing.
Not a fan of MCR but this cover is awesome
This video should be in the 'Comedy' catagory. It's fucking hilarious!
He's certainly no Jarvis.
If My Chemical Romance were British they would be a completely different band
TheAstronomyFloyd New Jersey formed those boys lmao
They'd be better
AWESOME COVER!
That was f***ing awesome..! x
If William Shatner can do it, anyone can.
like it!!! :D
greetings from Greece!
One of my favourite songs of all time done by my current favourite band ... weird and wonderful, not sure I like MCR's version because I love the original so much, but I love MCR so it will grow on me. Funny thing is I also sing this in my (very infrequent and rarely seen) duo Al~ca~Chaz. This IS a grower!
How have I only just found this
Awesome cover MCR !!!!
No that's a Pulp verse, they just didn't include it in the single version. It's on the album though.
when this came out I listened to it none stop for like a month... now I'm back lol
Gerard sounds so British here. It's actually quite lovely
Very well done!
I agree toxic... It is good that you can tell an artists' version compared to a somebody trying to make it bigger and better ...
This is beautiful
Did they speed it up or is it just me oh well I fucking love mcr and britpop so it's all good
hahaha another tribute to a british god of music
Omg I've never seen this! This is awesome! I love it:D
I'm so happy MCR arnt a band anymore. I just wish it happened sooner before they ruined pulp
that was fantastic! :0
If you think My Chemical Romance "ruined" this song, go listen to William Shatner's version.
You'll be pretty grateful for Gerard and Jarvis.
Love this song when I was very young and seeing my idol do a cover just blew my fucking mind
Love how Rays just casually jumping up and down!
