I'm not normally one to gush, but I'm getting old and sentimental. I just wanted to say thanks for being a part of a band that brought great rock into the world. For some reason The Muffs have become my nostalgia band, especially the early stuff. I love listening, but simultaneously hurts so much, reminding me of a time I'll never be able to experience again (that true old German definition of nostalgia). "Kids in America" is easily one of the best covers of any song other there. I still use "I Don't Like You" as one of my alarms on my phone (if that won't wake you up, nothing will). And I'm sure I don't have to explain just how gut wrenching "Sad Tomorrow" became after Kim's death. You guys should have been so much bigger than you were. Thanks again.
Dude, I loved the way you guys covered this song. Best version of this anthem to date, no one has even come close to touching the raw energy that you delivered while Kim belted this banger out. Rock Band 2 helped me discover your band BTW.
@@DesertRainReads Thank you, I will never tire of hearing this kind of stuff. I tried to play the song once on Rock Band & totally blew it, couldn’t even play my own bass line! 😂
@@MrDavidleerothrocksanytime dude, ha ha, oh man, you know you wrote a good bass line when you can't even get through it on Rock Band 2. I have no idea if this was the actual music video for this iconic cover or not but if it's fan made? I'm genuinely impressed with how the girls captured the energy you and Kim put into the song. We lost an amazing vocalist and you lost a good friend when she passed. Just know her spirit lives on in those of us who love The Muffs.
1st like! That 90's Show is so solid! I'm so thankful to see the old gang mostly back together, and the new faces are adorable. I look forward to seeing hopefully much more!
@@brokenmoldstill, the literal kids that made this video clearly had tons of fun doing so and they captured the spunky energy of The Muffs dead to rights. This was great.
Have you ever heard the UK novelty thrash punk band Lawnmower Deth's version of it? It's a crackup. Kim Wilde and her brother Ricki eventually collaborated on a punk Christmas song with them a few years ago.
@@MrJett1971 Hmm. Three names of artists who are not Kim Shattuck are proof that no one screams like her? Not to mention none of them scream like she did, as she passed a few days ago sadly. But with that kind of proof, who the hell needs logic and reason? More like proof that you need your hearing checked because I hear very distinct differences and Kim didn't scream like any of the three you mention
I heard the version of this song from the band No Secrets in Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, but I always liked this version better. This version was my anthem growing up. 2000's Kids Unite!
there's a film coming out this year called "kids in america", that 70's show writers making it so we prob gona hear a lot more of that that song. my fav bit was when yer one blew the mike shield away, powerful stuff
I love how every part is a joke about playing and recording..I love the keyboardist just constantly up and down on the keys :) and the backup singers and the constant strumming of the guitar not having to do with anything being played.
Kim Shattuck MADE that HER song!!! She stole the fire and made it cooler! 😎💯 R.I.P. to Kim!!!! Everytime I hear the original, it just doesn't sound quite right anymore. 💯😎
No idea if this was the actual video or if one was even made but Holy shit, it damn well could've passed off as one. You can tell the girls who made this had tons of fun doing so, plus, they captured the essence of the song dead to rights. Whomever was the director of this deserves major kudos for pulling it off.
Their cover of "Kids In America", originally by Kim Wilde, was used in the soundtrack for the movie Clueless in 1995 and reissued later on their 2000 album Hamburger, as well as being used in Rock Band 2
This song was the moment when I realized that I didn't give TWO SHITS about my own age. 🤣 Because this was a song for "teenagers"... but I was in my 30's and thought "Shit!!! THAT'S a good fucking song!!!" 💯 Fuck the categories.
Just because it doesn't say fan video doesn't mean it's the real music video by the band. I watched a video the other day and it said "Official Music Video" by some band, and all it was was a kid doing a drum cover. If this video was not pre-authorized by the Muffs, then it's a fanmade video even if it doesn't directly say so.
Hope I don’t ruin anyone’s day if they didn’t know that this is a cover. Kim Wilde’s original version of this song was from 1981. Gen-X just wanted to make sure u knew that. 😂
I've had the Clueless soundtrack since I was in high school, and this is the only song that made the cut to my iPhone. Can't wait to play it on Rock Band 2!
i am pretty sure these ppl are only in rock band cuz the royalties are a ton lower than the real thing. or they need layered audio for all instruments and the original dont got it.
@LRocker509 Sorry to break it to you, but the Kim Wilde version is indeed the original version, released in the early 80's. I actually prefer The Muffs' version, but...facts are facts.
@warfan90 i am a real fan.....have been since 1997! I've seen em like 3 times and before that i had seen Kim in the pandoras as well. I was saying i didnt like the song very much........not once in my post did i say the girls in the vid were kim and the muffs. Do you often think before you speak, because you shoul.
ahhhhhhahah i think the kids/teen/adults of america need to have a talk with the people behind rock band. i hear nirvana, tenacious d, beck and.. where does this song fit in?!!?
Read my post again. I said that the members of The Muffs are two guys and a girl. If this is supposed to be their official video for Kids in America, then they hired 4 fan girls to pretend to be them.
Gen V season 1 finale, amazing!
XD
what? was this song there?
@spacesheep6547 the mid credit scene in the final episode.
Back when mtv was awesome!
This has been up 17 years & I’m just now seeing it for the first time! 😁

GEN V FINALE BROUGHT ME HERE
That 90s show anyone? Put a big smile on my face hearing this in there
1st like! That 90's Show is so solid! I'm so thankful to see the old gang mostly back together, and the new faces are adorable. I look forward to seeing hopefully much more!
Yup! It ended up being good! Can't wait for a new season
Hell yeah!🙌❤️
That '90s show rocks man!🤘
Bonus points to however knows the rendition from Digimon The Movie.
"What a bunch a c**ts"
Rest in Peace Kim. Thanks for playing.
Rest in peace Kim Shattuck! The Muffs were my childhood
I love these girls. They're clearly having so much fun making this video.
The Muffs are awesome and I miss them. This one was always odd though as the actual band isn't in the video at all.
@@brokenmoldstill, the literal kids that made this video clearly had tons of fun doing so and they captured the spunky energy of The Muffs dead to rights. This was great.
gen v!!!!
RIP Kim Shattuck, you will be missed,
It’s not about which is better, they both are cool! It’s great to see artists put their own spin on remakes! Love the original and love this version!
Have you ever heard the UK novelty thrash punk band Lawnmower Deth's version of it? It's a crackup. Kim Wilde and her brother Ricki eventually collaborated on a punk Christmas song with them a few years ago.
Billy Butcher: What a bunch of Cs.
I heard this song on the season finale of 'That 90's show' and LOVED IT!
This is my favorite video of The Beatles.
Nobody screams like Kim Shattuck. Love ya kid!!!
Paul McCartney. Joan Jett. Little Richard. There’s at least three to prove you wrong...

Courtney Love?
The MUFFS! Yes.
Achei essa música Graças a Gen V- the boys , que top man
How many of us know this is a cover?
I did! Came out in '81 when I was 10! Was in the movie "Reckless" which starred Daryl Hannah & Aidan Quinn in 1984
Love this!!!
I heard the version of this song from the band No Secrets in Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius, but I always liked this version better. This version was my anthem growing up. 2000's Kids Unite!
AWESOME
Hands down best version
I love this video
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ LOVE THIS SONG!!!
The 90s show finale brought me here haha
Same here... it actually was pretty good
there's a film coming out this year called "kids in america", that 70's show writers making it so we prob gona hear a lot more of that that song. my fav bit was when yer one blew the mike shield away, powerful stuff

She had a scream that could scare a hurricane.
This version kicks wilds ass
0:14 she got the cigs, now a days its the vapes.
The muffs are awesome! Nice work from a fellow drummer.
Cool. Great job girls! I like Midnights Angels version too. Both great bands :)
Cool! I LOVE the singers hair.
Naked aggression has a really good cover too
I totally have to agree. Pretty cool song...
No these are some kids that are lip synching to the song. They are not the Muffs despite what the video says.
Man I love her rip
i like this cover.
comes over all californian garage-punk...fantastic stuff.
No idea if this was the actual video or if one was even made but Holy shit, it damn well could've passed off as one.

Here on the eve of 2025.
Getting old now.
I’m crying 😢😃
the are really kids in America (the original was from UK for those who don't know)
The New Guardians of Godolkin!
Loving the keyboard action, great work guys!!
awesome song
This song was the moment when I realized that I didn't give TWO SHITS about my own age. 🤣
Because this was a song for "teenagers"... but I was in my 30's and thought "Shit!!! THAT'S a good fucking song!!!" 💯
Fuck the categories.
Homelander badass
Fantastic. To be better than the original took some doing, but the Muffs were one of the few capable of doing so. Love it.
I think this version as well as the version by Fourth Grade Nothing are both better than the original. Check it out if you haven't heard it!
@@justinman114 thanks for the suggestion, I'll check out that version
lol the muffs. that made me giggle.
Gen X crushed so hard.
nice one. gotta like these fan-made videos, specially when they good.
Saudade desses clipes da MTV
Kim wilde.beatifull
The voice is the best thing in the hole song! Can you believe that a girl is singing this?
It sounds so freakin cool.
RIP Kim
17 years
Yes.
Great song
Just because it doesn't say fan video doesn't mean it's the real music video by the band.

Best scream in rock!!
is this the actual music video?
That’s a Kurt Cobain type scream.
Gen V🍆🔥
It's so real! I give it 3 stars for being vulnerable.
Big bottomed girls, gotta love em!
@Rawk4Life Oh, and the Muffs comprised two men and two women originally (and on the first album).
Who's here after final episode of That 90's Show!
Rest In Peace:(
Hope I don’t ruin anyone’s day if they didn’t know that this is a cover. Kim Wilde’s original version of this song was from 1981. Gen-X just wanted to make sure u knew that. 😂
Rock in peace Kim
I've had the Clueless soundtrack since I was in high school, and this is the only song that made the cut to my iPhone. Can't wait to play it on Rock Band 2!
No Luscious Jackson's "Here"?
How did these poeple get a record deal?!?!?!
Not sure what this is,
but that's not The Muffs
Just say'n
R.I.P. Kim
Who are the people in this filmclip?
@Rawk4Life This is the real video. The band is not in it. That's the concept.
anyone got the solo tabs?
This version closed out season 1 of That 90s Show.
awesome!
This looks like Disney channel and 2006. Niiiiice
wow ur so cool
Yo. This video is a comment time capsule
who sang it in the movie bio dome
amen
I love all the cigarettes they have
Slik Cut from the uk
Confirmed Song For Rock Band 2!
I never realized this was a cover. This was the only version i've known xD But I like this one and Kim Wilde's a lot.

"What kind of animal are you? You like attacking your own kind?"
best version of this song!!! EVER!!!
Read my post again. I said that the members of The Muffs are two guys and a girl. If this is supposed to be their official video for Kids in America, then they hired 4 fan girls to pretend to be them.
The blonde is Kim though
It's some kids miming the song...
omg i think i just died a little bit inside listening to this
I wish I could upvote this more. These are not the muffs. None of these girls are the incredibly talented and gorgeous Kim Shattuck.
