My dad used to play this in the car radio when I was a baby and child. I'm 16/17 and still listening to this because it's very nostalgic. The good kind of nostalgia👍🏻
Yeah I remember banging to this in 2004 when I was just 2 years old. My parents recorded it, but sadly the video can be found no more. I really wanna go back to the days depite getting close to my 20's.
I love this version. It would've been perfect for a compilation album like Shenanigans, but wasn't on it because Shenanigans was released in 2002 while this was recorded in 2004. It's not even a B side on any single.
@@PermanentRadiowaves no, shenanigans is made up of songs that wasn't fit or just didn't make it onto warning and nimrod, or maybe just nimrod, can't remember. although it would have been perfect if it had been on the International Superhits compilation album - cause that's a compilation, shenanigans technically isn't, it's an actual album.
“Hi, I’m one of the kids who was prosecuted for downloading music for free of of the internet, and I’m here to announce in front of everyone, we’re still going to download music for free off of the internet.”
Great song but go back and listen to original...post Buddy Holly's death or to Bobby Fuller's 1965 cover. BUT that is what makes it such a great song...GreenDay and Clash both did it justice!
@@DodotheWishFanboy And even more credit to the writer of the song: Sonny Curtis from The Crickets, the Buddy Holly's band. This song was written after Buddy's death.

I’m just reminded of that Pepsi iTunes promotion that had codes under the cap and people figured out if you tilted the bottle a specific way, you could read the code without needing to open the bottle.
Anyone here first heard this song ( by the Dukes ) in the Australian the movie " Reckless Kelly "? X. )) awesome soundtrack.....Sadly I don't have the Cd anymore :(
Green Day is covering a song sung by many people over the years, many of them long before the Clash. A song is only a cover of the original. Every other version, including that of the Clash, is just a cover, unless it makes major changes to the song. This doesn't. It has different guitar work, but the lyrics match the original, and the tempo is pretty similar to that of the biggest hit version, by Bobby Fuller (it was originally by the Crickets, post-Buddy Holly). Sorry guys, but the Clash version was not a big hit and is not nearly as well-known.
@@markmiller3279 thank you Mark. I know the facts. Never mind the word "cover"..The Clash version and Green Day version sound pretty much similar. To me at least.
@@markmiller3279 If you search for "Biggest Hits of Buddy Holly" and scroll down, this song is listed. If that's not Buddy singing, someone sure sounds a lot like him.

@@mythicnightmare5007 I'm very sure The Clash cover was not the original. I can't remember the name, but someone famous wrote the song in the 1950s, then Bobby Fuller Four did what's considered to be "the original" cover. The Clash is the most famous one though. If you google the song, your first result will almost definitely be The Clash's cover.
@@NightmareeWhispers yeah, I’m aware it’s Green Day, and I like them. I’m just not a swear guy, ok? I don’t mind if people swear occasionally (even though I wouldn’t do such a thing myself), but people doing it too much is a bit much for me to take on.

Dude every cover Green Day does sounds so crisp and fresh if you didn’t know any better you’d think it was one of their original songs
Well yeah, If you weren't familiar with the original song, of course you would assume the artist covering it is one who made it lol.
Punk is not supposed to be crisp and fresh
Every Green Day's song sounds likely the same as others
@@WoahLookAtThatFreakppl might be able to relate to learning that 1985 was covered by bowling for soup, not originally by them

Great that Sonny Curtis and the Crickets are still cool in the 21st century. Tre's drumming admirably is close to the great Jerry Allison's original.
Good music never dies.
I love this cover but my favorite will forever be the DK cover, the Dan White twist they put on it is brilliant
The fact that this isn’t available on iTunes Store breaks my heart
Ironic since it was used in a Pepsi Ad where they gave away a bunch of free iTunes songs lol
Love this cover version!
Best version of this song. Absolutely amazing. Props to the clash but this is it man.
Both are great! I think it is the Clash version that appeared in the late great TV series "Motive".
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂👎👎👎👎👎👎
The Bobby Fuller Four have the best version of it, in my opinion. The Clash and Green Day's versions are great too, though.
@@ansuna974 The Clash and Green Day both did this song justice.
Dead Kennedy´s version, best of all (listen to the lyrics carefully).).
this is actually an amazing version can't lie
Billie Joe's voice is so different to all the other versions of it.

It's been 7 years now of this song. I still play it and sing along with it.
Green day recorded this song a long time before this video was posted in youtube. I think GD recorded this around 2006 or 2007
I've been listening for at least a decade, only from this vid since it's all I can do now. Regardless, it's just that good
@@Sam-nc5iqThis was pre-American Idiot. This song was part of Apple’s ad campaigns for the first ever version of iTunes.

Pra mim a melhor versão dessa música. Ela é nostálgica para mim e me traz de volta para os meus 13 anos. Eu gosto também da versão do The Clash
This should be available in Spotify otherwise its a war crime
Why oh why is this not on Spotify???
...not in my country 😭
Yeah, me either@@gearmachine_4885

Written by the great Sonny Curtis, of Buddy Holly's Crickets.
Green Day is the best band ever!:)

two of my fav bands as one :)
There such a good singer
Ive been a fan for years and i never knew this was a thing but we all know lil wayne did it the best😉
IDK if I like this more than the Dead Kennedys version or not. They're both great
armorhide406 it's the clash.
All 3 bands did a cover. I think he really did mean DK.
I blew George and Harvey's brains out with my ...... SIX GUN! DK's for the win.
I never knew I needed this!
Maybe this song should be Trump's campaign theme. Its over 50 years old, and if he get Kid Rock to record it, he won't have to pay royalties.
i love both Clash and Green Day but personally, The Clash's version will always be better to me. Green Day just makes it sound less punk.
Barely
its my opinion, "sponge donge".
well your opinion sucks
What about the original.?
lolli pop if you don’t agree, don’t say anything?
I like this better than the original
The Crickets.
1959 actually, Crickets:1959 - Bobby Fuller: 1966 - The Clash: 1977, IMO Crickets has the best version.
Perfect song for today!
The Pepsi/iTunes Super Bowl XXXVIII commercial brought me here.
When the cover songs they add there own stuff to these songs . But still keep it the orginal. So there you go.👍
I love this song but this kid in like 2008 made a fan video I was obsessed with as a kid and I can't find it. I need to see it again
