Too bad it killed the band though. Word of advice: if your band makes the mainstream through a cover, break up the band now. This is the fastest way to be a one hit wonder.
HOW'D they actually think they could do a legit sendup to MJ's version is just ridiculous... lol xD Yeah, just keep bobbing your heads up & down---- I'm just gonna stick with the REAL adult talent, the King of Pop
I’m glad they didn’t butcher a classic by Michael Jackson but simply made it even more awesome! Good job Alien Ant Farm! Keeping a legend alive from the 80’s to the beginning of a new century.
Tbh i love both the versions equally they're both sick and im a total mj fan. Usually covers tend to be worse or better but for me its the same quality. Anyone feel the same???
In season 1 of all grown up in some scenes has alien ant farm smooth criminal references on all grown up season 1 from 2003 to 2004 @michaeliannelli7725
@@MichaelD8393 because to “Remake” implies that you are building some from the ground up again, I think you just have a prefrence for “Faithful” remakes that don’t deviate too far from the original, because of ether your satisfaction with the original, or your dissatisfaction with a given remake I’m kind of simmaler, I can’t stand remix’s, not so much because I want them to be more like the orginal, but more offten because they just don’t sound great, like they land inside of musical Uncanny valley, that or the aproach made isn’t my style, everything boils down to perspective and preference
This is one of those rare situations where i actually love the cover quite a bit more than the original. I guess it helps that I heard this a few years before I heard MJ’s original, so this has more nostalgia for me! Both versions are great though!
Just today, I don't usually bond with my dad over stuff like this. But in the car this came on the radio and we were able to sing along and talk about music we enjoy. It was a wonderful time and I wanna thank you for posting this because I went to find it as soon as I got home. To healthy father/daughter relationships!
I love both version but believe it or not this was actually the first one I heard as a kid so it's my favorite of the two. I love both version. I think it's often the case with people they prefer the version they were first introduced to.
This is literally the song version of those images that change depending on how you look at them. It literally has two different rhythms depending on how I listen to it, at least for me.
@@PattyTheGlowyCreature At least for me it happens that if Istart the song from a different point it can adopt a different rhythm, it's quite hard to explain without humming the song.
Randomly thought of this version out of nowhere and I remembered the name of the band off the top of my head the last time I listened to this was like middle school on pandora
You can’t consider this song as a classic because it came out in 2001, 14 years after the original (Smooth Criminal was released as part of the Bad album in 1987)
“Hey dad look, a smooth criminal” “he left the blood stains on the carpet how smooth can he be?”
Bro.
Dad look its the good kush.
Its a dollar store how good can it be?
Very underrated comment

This is probably one of the best covers I've heard. Definitely in my top 10.
So true
This is my number 1.
Probably my number 6

Its 2024 and we still dont know if Anie's okay 😢
Listen to the band annisokay, annie is doing just fine. They have a dope cover of beat it.
This made me laugh out loud jesus thank you for making my day.

Yeah
as a metal head myself I prefer this version, but they are both similar to the same quality in my opinion
yup
You can tell Michael helped them with this cover, that's why it shines the way it does.
I feel the same way about Aerosmith's cover of Come Together
One Of The Greatest Covers Of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!
I Respect The HOMAGE!!!! WINNER!!!!

This is what a cover should be: make the song your own rather than remake it as a tribute to the original.
All covers are a tribute to the original
@@submissions72 Good point, though not all covers sound the same as the original.

"This has been a good day son" American Pie 2 classic
That's where I heard it originally, Jim on the roof with his hands glued to his crotch. American pie 2 got me lmao 👍 ✌️
I binged all three movies this weekend and went back to those days
Fuckin finally, someone knows.
I loved that funny scene
Even though it’s a cover of a great classic, this song itself is a classic in its own right.
And to think that tiny ants can make such a big sound.
Why do think they’re tiny? They’re aliens after all, they could be twice the size of us humans. Have you never seen the Simpsons?

Everything is original still just with some rock flavor, I love it
I remember loving this song when i gotten "now this us what i call music" cd and this was one of them i remember listening to
Always great, never ages.
I'm happy this song became popular out of nowhere 20 years later

Makes me sad I don't know any other Alien Ant Farm songs
You could literally search for more instead of writing this comment
I did not do this.
You're not missing much, don't worry.
This is by far their best song
Check out their song Movies that was another well known song of theirs though it wasn't as popular as this cover

they made this bad ass. sorry MJ but this is the song.
Really hard

It's 2021... and we still don't have a word from Annie saying that she's ok...
in all honesty, i prefer this one as a classic... change my mind
