Spaghetti Bros for the Spghetti Westerns.... When was the last time they even mentioned the Spaghetti Bros? I think we need a dark synth, dark hoods and all "Spaghetti Illuminatti" cover of something. Maybe Arlo Guthrie's "This land is your land" - but with all the verses. PLEASE!
I've always thought that this Offspring song could sound perfectly in a country/bluegrass style (and I'm already wearing my cowboy boots and kicking the floor all night long 🤠)
The lyrics kinda read of as like a western outlaw like Billy the kid in the process of robbing another business. *"Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time* *And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach"* The narrator is an older outlaw which is impressed by Billy the kid who is quickly outpacing his own skill. Their craft is lies and deception. *"Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd* *And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet"* Rather abruptly, they have gotten to their destination and fooling another victim out of their money, however it's not going their way as a mob forms. *"Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance* *And no one even knew it was really only you"* Billy the kid draws out his gun to an unsuspecting crowd, they have no choice but to surrender. They had no clue that it was the kid which they should have been looking out for. *"And now you steal away* *Take him out today"* They get to business robbing the estate, they take out a someone who tries to be a hero. *"Nice work you did* *You're gonna go far, kid"* Praises are given round to Billy, they'd likely all be dead without him. "You're gonna go far kid" could be taken sarcastically, as their line of work often leads to a early grave. *"With a thousand lies and a good disguise* *Hit 'em right between the eyes* *Hit 'em right between the eyes* *When you walk away, nothing more to say* *See the lightning in your eyes* *See 'em running for their lives"* More general description of an outlaw, the process of turning men into cowards by waving guns in their faces. *"Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight* *So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me* *There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay* *And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me"* The narrator has been working with Billy the Kid for quite some time now and they have been pretty well off, however there is no honor among thieves. He's posturing himself to pull a fast on on Billy the kid, giving Billy an ultimatum "There's something in your way [me] and now someone's gonna pay [you]" "And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me" (The narrator can't help but smile as he says this, he's gonna be a rich man soon, like taking candy from a baby) *"Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance* *And no one even knew, it was really only you* *And now you'll lead the way* *Show the light of day* *Nice work you did* *You're gonna go far, kid* *Trust deceived"* However the narrator is too late, Billy had the same thing in mind. Billy robs his friend blind, the narrator is in shock and awe, he got played like a fiddle. To this day he sings tales on how he was bested by Billy the kid. *"Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies"* Another nickname. Man of many faces, leaves not a trace of the scene other than the fallen devoured by flies. Of course "lord of the flies" is also a reference to a name of a book which is likely inspiration for the song.
The slower piano version at the end feels like something that would play during a sad death or something after the full song was played during a kickass part of a movie
I rarely yell at the screen along with a song. It is simply amazing, I adore how you got into it. This has dethroned B.Y.O.B Just put yourself into every song. You will hit it.
This is perfect just On so many levels. Like a bandit burned down the protagonists home and the protagonists mentor figure [who died in the fire] is singing over the fleeing protagonist. Then the Protagonist grows up into a Texas Ranger and tracks down the Bandit, now the head of a large gang. [The Protagonist not getting what they want is the spirit of their mentor stopping them from destroying themselves in the process]
damn that ending with donators is impactful ngl! very tender/intimiate/cute/cozy. makes me feel vulnerable like a little kid again watching childrens programs on television
This has just become one of my favourite of yours! 😍 It was worth it to open the door between dimensions and call a couple of Bros from another universe to record this! 😁
I'm going to love anything involving that bass, but even aside from that bias, this is a wonderful arrangement! Great energy and attitude, interesting musical details, and your usual instinctively authentic sound.
I think it's one of the rare times in life when an old nostalgic classic gets a new paint job and it's even sexier than before. Good job. Bonne criss de job
You have no idea how happy I am that you chose to make a cover of this song, Melodicka Bros style! I'm not even like... It's not because I'm a heavy fan of the original band Or have some special, deep backstory behind why this excites me... ...It's more like when you're in class or something And they announce that instead of Pizza or sandwiches, They're going to serve your favorite food Which might be Pho or Ramen... That's what it feels like to me; Discovering Melodicka Bros have covered something that i WANT to listen to now, Something that makes me heart rush with happiness And click so fast 😂😂 And doing it in this Saloon style was PERFECT! Again not because I'm a fan of the Western genre, But because A) That is so on-point for Melodicka Bros B) That suits this song really, really well!!! So! My day just got more awesome, Thanks guys 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Damn, takes me back. The Offspring used to be my favourite band back in the day. And from 2012 to probably around 2016 I considered this song to be my favourite song. Great cover, it really fits this style.
This reminds me of the DnD campaign im in. At one point we managed to lie, trick and joke our way through a deadly dungeon, culminating in tricking a demon into destroying the cult that summoned it, and us overthrowing a city and crowning an elephant as the city's new ruler.
It's interesting how even without a deep understanding of the style being emulated, I can still tell the writing of the song is anachronistic with the instrumentation. It's almost like how you can tell what decade a song was from if you've listened to enough music from that decade.
That was just magnificent. As a song, and band, that had one hell of an impact on my teen years, hearing a cover done so fucking well is a true delight.
I've never heard of you guys before, I've never listened to any of your stuff. But I do listen to the original song enough that apparently TH-cam's algorithms thought I might like this. TH-cam's algorithms were right, holy crap. I love this, thank you!
Man, your reinterpretations of popular songs absolute rock. I am a fan of yours for years, it's always lovely to see you rocking old bangers in new ways! This is fantastic :)
You know, it's rare that TH-cam hits me with a completely random suggestion that's actually really good. But this was one of those times. Really good cover! Never thought about anyone putting this song in a western style, but it worked out well.
These lyrics actually fit a cowboy song perfectly. I never noticed that before.
they are just that good
they really do🤘🏽
Show me how to lie, you're getting better all the time
And turning all against the one is an art that's hard to teach
Another clever word sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line, a mob jumps to their feet
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, he never had a chance
And no one even knew it was really only you
And now you steal away
Take him out today
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Slowly out of line, and drifting closer in your sight
So play it out, I'm wide awake, it's a scene about me
There's something in your way and now someone is gonna pay
And if you can't get what you want, well, it's all because of me
Now dance, fucker, dance, man, I never had a chance
And no one even knew, it was really only you
And now you'll lead the way
Show the light of day
Nice work you did
You're gonna go far, kid
Trust deceived
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Now dance, fucker, dance, he never had a chance
And no one even knew, it was really only you
So dance, fucker, dance, I never had a chance
It was really only you
With a thousand lies and a good disguise
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
Clever alibis, Lord of the Flies
Hit 'em right between the eyes
Hit 'em right between the eyes
When you walk away, nothing more to say
See the lightning in your eyes
See 'em running for their lives
@@buxomboba Yeah, we knew the lyrics.

Thanks for typing this so I didn't have to.😂
I was gonna comment, but yours was way better 😅
Bro, delete this comment before Clint sees it 😢
"Dance, fucker, dance!" Bang bang! And Marty does the Moonwalk 😆It's just so lively! Might even get me to dance, no bullets necessary
I love how Dave used to bleep the swear words. And really committed to this one.
Where did you see anyone doing the moonwalk?
@@lucasblanchard47 I think it was a reference to Back to the Future 3.

Anyone else expecting him to say "now dance partner dance"
LMAO that would be gold
NGL that probably would have been better here
ugh, lost opportunity.
maybe they can release the "radio" version so we can have this correction
I was expecting "Dance, brother, dance" myself
Now I will have to run a steampunk Wild West RPG campaign.
Thanks for the inspiration.
I feel this is the perfect time to point out that Deadlands exists. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadlands
@@tunoddenrub
Thanks for the tip buddy
There's also Outlaws of Alkenstar if you play pathfinder 2e
Play evil west
If you want some TV inspiration Wild Wild West is a great show with cowboy spy/steampunk vibes!
When I was a kid I could listen to this song for days on repeat. Thanks for reminding me of it.
Still could...
was it the rainbow dash edit
@@lexwhy554 sometimes... Well, at leas I have an excuse of being in a show's target audience of young girls at that time.
That banjo in the back is just the absolute cherry on top for me.
The slower piano version at the end feels like something that would play during a sad death or something after the full song was played during a kickass part of a movie
This sounds like the song was supposed to be in this style, it's great.
30 years of being an Offspring fan, and this is probably one of the best covers I've ever heard. Well done!
This song works really well in this western style, especially when the chorus kicks in and with the harmonies. Great work!!
That final pass on the banjo was **chef's kiss**
As time goes on, there's something that keeps me respecting this cover... it's a solid hard rock version of it.
I rarely yell at the screen along with a song.
It is simply amazing, I adore how you got into it. This has dethroned B.Y.O.B
Just put yourself into every song. You will hit it.
Bring your own banjo?
Bring your own banjo?

Beware youth outlaw Billy
I love both Comments, but the S.O.A.D B.Y.O.B (I love saying that.) Cover by the Bros stole me heart.
That mandolin solo... Literally sent shivers down my spine,
Two covers in one, happy saloon version and sad piano version
I am so happy I saw this before randomly switching to another video. Would've missed the bonus version
I'm irritated that I can only give this one Like.
Just create 20 alternate accounts
This is perfect just
On so many levels.
Like a bandit burned down the protagonists home and the protagonists mentor figure [who died in the fire] is singing over the fleeing protagonist. Then the Protagonist grows up into a Texas Ranger and tracks down the Bandit, now the head of a large gang.
[The Protagonist not getting what they want is the spirit of their mentor stopping them from destroying themselves in the process]
The enemy wears Red and the ranger Has a big gun made of iron 😉
damn that ending with donators is impactful ngl! very tender/intimiate/cute/cozy. makes me feel vulnerable like a little kid again watching childrens programs on television
Play this at my funeral feels
Most demented comment under this video lmao
This has just become one of my favourite of yours! 😍 It was worth it to open the door between dimensions and call a couple of Bros from another universe to record this! 😁
I don't know why this popped up in my suggested feed but holy crap I'm glad I did. This cover is AWESOME.
same for me, one of my few insta-subs
Damn, who knew that both bros had their own musically talented twin bro
The Offspring Circa 1860 LOL
A great Renditions with acoustic instruments and a very minimalist drum kit
I'm going to love anything involving that bass, but even aside from that bias, this is a wonderful arrangement! Great energy and attitude, interesting musical details, and your usual instinctively authentic sound.
I think it's one of the rare times in life when an old nostalgic classic gets a new paint job and it's even sexier than before. Good job. Bonne criss de job

Something that makes me heart rush with happiness
And click so fast 😂😂
And doing it in this Saloon style was PERFECT!
Again not because I'm a fan of the Western genre,
But because A) That is so on-point for Melodicka Bros
B) That suits this song really, really well!!!
So!

Like dang this feels amazing now imagine hearing it played in a saloon live, it would go absolutely hard

Guys, you just did it again! This is a really great cover, I'm sure that The Offspring will be so delighted if they get to see/hear this!!
Y'all are one of the best bright spots on the web
It's interesting how even without a deep understanding of the style being emulated, I can still tell the writing of the song is anachronistic with the instrumentation. It's almost like how you can tell what decade a song was from if you've listened to enough music from that decade.

TH-cam algorytm has been good to me today for suggesting this
This is one of my all-time favorite songs, I love your version.
Seriously just a cool fun cover. I love it
I've lost count of how many times I've heard this song
everything they do is just perfect
That was just magnificent. As a song, and band, that had one hell of an impact on my teen years, hearing a cover done so fucking well is a true delight.
I have never heard this band before this but I am an Offspring fan and I am super impressed with this cover. This is absolutely phenomenal.

Man, your reinterpretations of popular songs absolute rock. I am a fan of yours for years, it's always lovely to see you rocking old bangers in new ways! This is fantastic :)
I will make sure my offspring hear this someday
I love how the outro is so soulful.
These guys know how to make a beautiful video, a beautiful remake, beautiful originals. Guys are goated more than they might know.
If i ever take up any form of cowboy dancing, this will be part od the playlist.
Oh yeah, that's a huge flavor win for sure
I haven’t heard this song in a while but once it started i remembered every word. Great cover!
This is everything I wanted and more
I dig it. Just released and I had to listen to it twice in a row. Definitely putting it on my spotify lists when I can.
one of my favorite things is cross genre covers and this hits me in ALL the right places, so well done!! thank you youtube recommendeds!
Saw this and immediately got super excited
You know, it's rare that TH-cam hits me with a completely random suggestion that's actually really good. But this was one of those times. Really good cover! Never thought about anyone putting this song in a western style, but it worked out well.
Holy wow, major Offspring fan, and I can say, you made that your OWN version and not just a cover, phenomenal effort and end product!
I think this is one of my favorite tracks you guys have ever done.
Damn this fits like a glove.
Well that's a great one, hat's off to all the team.
It just sounded good. It’s that simple. It was GOOD!
The outro was too damn perfect. What an unexpected, surreal vibe.
If Netflix gonna make a series about Billy the Kid, I demand this version to be the main scene song.
This cover has become one of my favorite earworms.
Your covers always blow my mind. This is no exception.
I... i was not prepared for this amount of beauty. This is so amazing!
Dang, I've always liked this song, and this is an impressive cover. Even with the very different instrumentation, it still just feels right.
Honestly I think I like this one a little more than the original.
You guys truly never miss!
Awesome Cover. Thank you for this composition
I never even considered the offspring with banjo. Didn't know I needed this. Thank you.
This sounds SO good!! I've been listening to it over and over.
I like it more than an original. And I am kinda The Offspring fan, 🤣
It's always a splendid day when a new Melodika Bros drops! Thank you, guys. ❤
best way to end a weekend.
Amazing work, as always.
Can we take a moment to appreciate even how amazing the outro is??? Beautiful! Makes me want to cry!
Nice work you did, you're gonna go far (Melodic)kid!
Wow. I rarely comment but this time I needed to. Amazing work and energy. Thank you for providing this cover.
This might be my new favorite video of yours - nice work you did, Melodicka Bros!
Great cinematography!
Love this combo of Saloon and Nightcore-fitting song
I found the best song to troll my friends when we have our next D&D campaign. Gonna play this in the background as they chill in the tavern.
Damn, this is probably the best version of this song I've heard
I'm enjoying this way more than i ever expected to. Guess I have a new band to binge
It's great to see the return of the multiverse bros!
I love you guys' creativity. This is wild :)
This is getting out of hand, now there's two of both of them.
Should we send in a droideka?
Just wait for the Dodecalodika Bros.
I love this song, it's like a big brother pep talk when he can't be there at the time.
This made me so happy to listen to
We all want to live in the wild west at heart.
This works so well
That ending with the piano is the perfect way to end this
Finally New and Fresh Country from a fresh Perspective, Oorah 💥👍💯‼️ Finally A Western Tune 💥💯‼️
This is exactly the type of theme that came into my mind when I first heard "Dance fucker dance" in this song and you guys finally made it come true
It's what i had heard and imagined cowboys said when they shot at people's feet in movies
This goes so hard with the country-western motif.
I swear you guys pick the song and the genre out of a hat for these videos, and I love it.
Best 3 man 5 man band you can get
I love the Offspring and western movies. This is a win/win.
Absolutely adore this!
YES!!!! This song is just magnificent!
Love this version! Listen to it already 50 times! :D
This is a phenomenal cover.
