My Chemical Romance - Common People Lyrics

Anyone else here after the reunion?

IS NOBODY GONNA MENTION THE PART WHERE HE SCREAMS? “AAAHHHHHH”

Can we petition to get this on itunes I hate having to switch between apps

Legend covers legend

this is so fuckin good

no mikey the entire time wow

cómo suenan estos pibes

every time i hear this cover i expect this is how i disappear and then its just weird synths and i die

AHHHHHH THAT'S SO HUGE!!! Mcr is such a great band... can someone seriously deny their ability to do what they used to do? And they picked Pulp which is pratically uncoverable... i love it so much

He doesn't have that sass that Pulp has :(

I just love them

hey, does anyone know how i can filter my vocals to sound like this?

i like the cover more than the original because i like gerard’s voice better. I’m not saying the cover is better than the original, it’s just my personal opinion and you all pulp fans should learn what an opinion is before bullying someone for saying something that you don’t agree with

I can't see Mikey there .

Why am I in tears

Seriously impressed by how good this cover is hahaha

I always come back to listen to this. This is such a great cover.

This was posted on my birthday!

This is making me giggle.

there's more footage of Mike Pedicone the fuhking snake than Mikey

i stan pulp and it makes me appreciate this cover even more than I used to

this cover is the best thing that ever happened to me

ha ha ha look at me, im gerard im so cool, i wear sunglasses inside i'M geRard

Comeeee Baaaaack Geee pleaseeeee u.u We neeed yoouuuu :'(

Pulp's "Common People" came from a song by Mecano titled "Los Amantes" (The Lovers) and I myself think that's the better version. This is also by far better than Pulp's version

I CANT STOP PLAYING THIS

This is beautiful I'm dying

How are we all not talking about the fact frank just stood there like "we don't belong here, Gerard whyyyy?!, Gerard we're to emo to be here. Gerard?"

Dem shades though

This is awesome

I'm obsessed with this cover

the original is always best of course, although, i will admit i love how this cover sounds.

pulp!!!

This may have the only point in the 2010-2011 Gerard felt like he was doing something he wanted to do, because he didn't want My Chemical Romance anymore. He wanted to do something that he enjoyed, he loves Britpop. He doesn't look happy in this clip, but maybe this is the closest thing he to doing Britpop (Along with the Millions and Zero Zero Demos). Maybe this cover made a bit more bearable. So happy he's much happier now.

I cried cause I'm from Greece

oh im kinda l8 but hey fellow greek emo

PHANDOM

Frank Iero YAS

Επιτέλους κάποιος Έλληνας που ακούει mcr!

frank iero σε νιώθω.. Κανείς απ'τους δικούς μου δεν ακουει..

This cover is sickkkkk. I remember borrowing different class from the library when i was like 9 and it blew my mind.MCR is one of my favourite bands and i think the do this song with total respect.

WHERE IS MIKEYYYY

In my bed

Gerard way is so savage he wears sunglasses inside!

Blocking out the haters

I LOVE HOW WHENEVER HE SINGS HE HOLDS HIS HEADPHONES

lmao yassssssssss it's so cute

I do that all the time. I thought everyone does?

Absolutely love their covers! And that a few of them are really wanting to rock out haha

If I had a penis it'd be hard rn

his voice sounds so good :) i love gerard

I want Gerard Way to take me to a supermarket

Me too, we can shop for some.. Milk together

He'll only take you to the Starbucks inside the supermarket.

I want him to take me to bed and lose me forever...😉

@jaii cee wOAH THERE BUDDY

@FairTailLover hahhahahaa

high energy version of pulp classic. what a great voice. always great song to hear or play.

I FUCKING LOVE THIS

Super nooby question, but I'm supposing most people here are actually more nooby. How do you produce vocals like that? I mean obviously a high pass, and gain but... it seems to be in a sweet spot.

+My Autobiography A Fanfic Perhaps some of the qualities are in the mic.

+My Autobiography A Fanfic yo theres several ways you could do this. shelve off the high and low end, add fuzz/clip/dist lightly in the mix or if you have an analogue desk you can overcook the gain but take the fader down, which is how people like jack white do it i think - beatles did it too. hope this helps :D

@Count Emilio Haha thank you. I must have worked it out at some point, cause I'm finding it hard to believe I asked that. thanks though.

His vocal talent probably has the most effect on the sound.

this is so gOOD

This is one of the best covers I have ever heard

Gerard
And his fucking tiny teeth and his sunglasses and his fucking voice and his firetruck hair and I just 

MYE MO H E A R T

Ziggy Stardust me too

I'M CRYING THIS IS SO GOOD UGH

As much as I like Gerrard Way and MCR he has possibly ruined one of my all time favourite songs. It doesn't have anywhere near the power the Pulp version does, especially when tainted with an American accent.

The way Gerard sings it, it's more like he's just telling a story. Still, I don't see how this ruins the song...

+Sarah Dicus the song was written by Jarvis to tell a story? Gerard didn't improve the song to make it like a story

+utdminiman Exactly

+Hadid Ziegler I agree. Jarvis sings it like he's telling a story. Not only in Common People but a lot of other Pulp songs. And Gerard's singing is really flat and emotionless. I think everything in this cover is good except the vocals... And I'm a fan of both bands, Pulp and My Chemical Romance, but I much prefer Pulp and anything they do. Lol sorry

Tom I 100% understand what you mean. Most people enjoy this cover because it appeals more to the music of these times but Pulp has that emotion and sass that just can't be duplicated. I died inside when I started hearing Gerard's voice because it doesn't sound like the story Jarvis is telling at all...

Such a nice cover. Could listen to it all day

FUCK THIS SHIT, PULP RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your profile pic is my laptop wallpaper :D

+straight quavers /your/ profile picture is my phone wallpaper!

Muse fam, whaddup?

be open minded.

nailed it.

i literally was like "mikey probably looks hot in this" aND THEY DIDN'T EVEN FILM HIM THE WHOLE TIME AND WHEN THEY DID IT WAS JUST A FLASH IM DISPLEASED

gerard's ah-ah-ah's made me melt

You just gave me destroya flashbacks

Where's Mikey?

GetBusyLiving27 He was there, the camera man just didn't film him for some reason.

And my question again is: Where is Mikey???

Well I guess it`s not their best song. sorry

This is a cover of Common People by Pulp.

I actually like it better than the original... :p

CoUrTnEy _ LUFC same

it´s good but it does not compare to Jarvis dude

i love it 

Favourite song, covered by my favourite band. COULD MCR GET ANY MORE PERFECT?!?

They could still be together

Kirsty Wilson they could still be together







I'm sorry

Not O F***ing K lol we said the same thing

YOU'RE HURTING ME

I like more the original but this is good, a lot. 

i love the fact that a lot of people love this cover but of course no one can do it better than pulp obviously. including astro zombies by misfits a lot of mcr haters love that cover. 

@MIvarsson99 thats personal preference no need to lash out hun

And mikey is there he just isn't shown

He says 'fine' in such an English accent. It's nice.

funny because he's from new jersey usa

yeah, i know. i guess he sang it that way because it's an english song

Gerard's said that he was influenced by Britpop a lot, and loves British music, plus I think he's part Scottish. Guess cause he's singing a British song here he's picked up a bit of the accent

until he says "anyone else smiling in heeaaare"

fergalicious it's beautiful

No way is it better then the original, but it love it too bits and if any band should cover a pulp song. Or any song for that matter is my chemical romance. X

i agree with all of this. They have nothing but admiration for this iconic band.

I never thought anyone could ever pull of a Pulp cover... Until I heard this

Fidlar does a dope cover of this song too

There's a Jeff Rosenstock cover of "Dishes" that is amazing. I had no idea this MCR cover existed. It's great. <3

I don't like My Chemical Romance but the cover is pretty good!

Is it a crime for me to say that I actually love this cover?

not at all

I do too.

no its a good cover. Coming from a Pulp fan

Jade Kerr no I looooooove this cover

Love this <3

Better than the original

Ray is so frickin cute though

Better than the original shall I say...

+KittyMizuki I completely disagree but have your opinion.
Nothing can beat Jarvis. Ever.

how? jarvis cocker is a legend, sorry, but mcr can't compare.

Gerald ways punk voice dosnt work with the vocals of that were intended for this song.

Agreed tbh I like this cover better

william shatner's version is hilarious

william shatner version is better

I do Believe My Chemical Romance Is A True Fan Of Pulp, Of Course. The Album Called Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. And Pulp's Song Misshapes Has A line that states, "Revenge is Gonna Be So Sweet," Check Out That Music Video and at 3 minutes and 22 seconds into the video is when Jarvis Says The Line. But I swear Jarvis Sounds Like Gerard at that One Point.

@charlotte ;) thank you for sharing this video with us fans . @the haters ! fuck you im wondering why common haters listening and bitchin ? anyways .............. thumbs up ! !! like the vid or this comment ? whatever you like LOL .. come on !!! thumbs up !!

it's a decent sound and everyhting , but i don't know how so many people are saying this is much better than the original. The original was a vocal work of art. Gerard might have a good voice, but jarvis actually told an important story with a perfect dose of cynicism. It was lyrically a masterpiece.

GERARD YOU CAN COME SLEEP WITH COMMON PEOPLE LIKE US ANYTIME YOU PLEASE.

this is how a cover is done!!! 10/10

Amazing moment, actually.
This cover is completely amazing.

Actually, you should learn what punk is before you label a band the wrong genre, but believe what you want to.

Why is it awkward. It should just be that moment.

From a producers point of view the instrumental is drowning out Gerard's amazing vocals. If that wasn't the case it would be one of my fave songs.

cool bro

First of all. MCR WAS never a "punk" band. They WERE a bonified pop rock band which can be labeled alternative. My respects because they were awesome. I also like that they chose this little known new wave classic to cover. did it some justice and gave it some balls.

Never been a fan of MCR, but this song lends itself almost too well to their sound and to feel of the punk genre as a whole. While I personally prefer MCR's energetic cover over the Pulp original, it would obviously be nothing without Jarvis Cocker's lyrics, which are so genius that any cover of this song would have an impact. To me, it's the same as Jeff Buckley's interpretation of "Hallelujah" (by the lyrical god Leonard Cohen). People in the comments should focus on just the song itself

assuming it's about the beak up, how would you know this?

aaaaaaaaawwwwnnnnn meu deus *-----*

Now this is the best cover i've ever heard :o

He has a really awesome voice

Gerard has such a cute nose * faint*

I love it!

why would they do this :(

Gerard suddenly turns English when he sings 'Cause everybody hates a tourist'

Common People is one of my favourite songs and Pulp one of my favourite bands.. however this cover is absolutely amazing - how can anyone not see that? I went in with so many preconceptions of how badly MCR would cover this yet they've surprised me so much!
