cant believe im THIS far into my phoebe bridgers pilgrimage and ive only just found this omg
Welcome to the dirtbag party 🥳
SAME
Bitch same
Favorite comment ever
I love this. thanks for this.
please how does she turn every song into a heartbreaking ballad
Her voice is something else. It’s beautiful, far off and close all at once, and it connects.
Hello Julia how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
it kinda rings hollow hearing a pretty girl sing about being an ugly boy
cause she's a goddess
phoebe singing about girls is pretty much all i need in this life
Same tbh
YUP
yo U ever heard of boygenius
The earnest passion with which she sings “teenage dirtbag “fills my heart with inexpressible joy and sorrow.
that's beautiful
"Teenage dirtbag" was always a metaphor for growing up queer in the suburbs, nobody will ever convince me otherwise
@@antikinetic I really doubt that
this girl could cover anything and make it sound original
645AR - Yoga next please!!
I thought this said "a girl could cover anything and make it sound better" because I am not sober, and I was like "wow so true"
Seriously

Not Giant Steps. Only instrumental maniacs can play Giant Steps.
im fully convinced that this is exactly how this song is supposed to be sung.. i thought i liked the og version but i can never go back
yeah everything she touches turns to gold, i would honestly faint if i met her ha, she is a fucking goddess to say the least.
Sure, "let's take away the irony, and completely lose the drama of the last verses."
@@EnoVarma it amps up the irony to ten for me, especially the line about iron maiden and shit. it's soo melodramatic and so is the narrator.
th-cam.com/video/ZvIzmTiYoPo/w-d-xo.html a little toned down version by original band cpl years ago so much better than original
@@EnoVarma how do you think any irony was lost?
This is the best fucking thing that I have ever heard.
I youtubed 'teenage dirtbag cover' with a really specific type of cover in mind. Clicked on 5 or 6 of the top ones and was like naaaaaah. Then I clicked this one. As soon as the intro played I was like THATS THE SOUND
I wanna know how you feel about Dorian Electra's cover of this song. Pheobe does it in a really interesting way but i have to say Dorians top any cover I've ever heard of literally any song 😂
@@succubussy because of this comment I checked Dorian out and it was so coollllllll
Have you heard cavetown and chloe moriondo's cover?? Made me cry !! Chills!!
PB could sing the phone book and make it heartbreaking.
god i love her
Get in line, buddy.
yeah, she's something fucking else....
Her love I, God
Please don't still my comeent
Check this dude out! th-cam.com/video/QTuERWm5xCY/w-d-xo.html
I have yet to hear a song she has done that hasn’t given me immense chills. She is absolutely incredible. This includes all covers.
this is literally the most incredible cover i’ve ever heard… impeccable performance is a crazy understatement
better than the fake plastic trees cover????
Better than Lizzy McAlpine?
i think that this is by far the best cover. it's insane, she turned it in to her own song...
Seen wheatus in 2003 and this song has so many teenage memory's to it for me.
I have to say pheobes done it massive justice.
Amazing cover ❤
i come back to this video so often
same... too bad it's not on spotify
Hello Lena how are you doing hope you’re having a great time with your family may God bless you and your family
Perfect as usual
What is it about this song?
Even at my somewhat advanced age (62) it brings back all the crap I had to live with back in the early 70's when I was one of a small handful of guys with long hair
Give the Sahara Beck cover a listen as well, also truly amazing
I'm 62 now but I was a punk rocker. Phoebe shreds
i truly believe phoebe bridgers is my savior
It's weird how she takes a song that I don't necessarily care for and turns it into something I can't stop thinking about
It was a well written song and she does it justice - better than the original performance imo
Everybody covers this song. Phoebe brings a very different and soul touching feel to it. Love it!
This is a master class on how to do a cover. The Wheatus original is perfect as seen through an insecure teenage boy crushing on a girl way out of his league.
Phoebe’s perfect cover brings a whole different feel now that it’s sung from a girl’s perspective.
"Oh yeah, dirtbag. No she doesn't know what she's missing"... Hearing it in this cover just smacks so much harder! What a cover. Lizzie does do it justice. But damn, this cover is just sublime!
Luv the Americana strum and feel! Very nicely done...voice smooth a well aged cognac with just the right amount if raspy-ness. Tickled my auditory nerve no doubt.
it’s like you can feel how good it feels to sing with her voice by just listening to her.
phoebe makes me so happy i love all of her music and her covers and literally everything
Saw wheatus live when I was 17 but this version is so original. Love her style!! Such a talent!
I'm very grateful that Phoebe Brigers's voice and can penetrate through a crudely healed broken heart, and start piecing it back together as it should be. I'm just discovering all these new songs by her such as Waiting Room, this cover and Motion Sickness being some of the new songs that I've heard today.
My introduction to her was about 6 years ago with her rendition of Steamroller. I Guess I wasn't ready for all these other songs until now, my broken heart didn't have the strength to be able to hold the fragile emotions of these new songs, until now. I never forgot the impact that her voice from Steamroller gave me, I'd listen to it on Spotify several days for a week, for some weeks, when I came across it.
I'm glad that Spotify removed it, because it was TH-cam's suggested clips that have taken me where I needed to be at this point in my recovery from the heartbreak of repressed grief. 💔❤❤🔥
she could make All Star by Smash Mouth sound like a sad beautiful song about heartbreak
haha this is so awesome who would have thought someone could make this AWESOME song into something to cry to
Your name kicks ass
What I really need out of life is to hang out with Phoebe Bridgers.
let’s be honest, one direction stole this song from wheatus, and now phoebe bridgers has the best version no contest
There's a one direction cover to this? Never knew. Only know this and the original.
The one direction version is really weak compared to the original. No power
Idk I also really dig on Mary Lambert’s version. Something special about a woman singing it though.
they didn't steal it they just covered it at their shows and it is good as well
Idk about no contest, Kathryn Gallagher and Jen Damiano's version is about on par with this one imo
This is the best cover of this song. I'm here for it.
I always thought he started the bridge with "I need air" and that was my favorite lyric in the entire song. Now I learn he was just saying "Oh yeah"
I love how she sings with such angst. Like she’s really hurt and really in love with this person but she’s just this dirtbag.
I am different than I was 4 minutes and 10 seconds ago 🥺
#betterdifferent
went from incel energy to yearning wlw, gotta love it
never stop yearning
This comment proves something. I'm not sure what it proves, but it proves something.
@@n0-one0 boy i am not talking about the singers, i'm talking about the energy of the song fucking chill. i didn't pigeonhole anyone, i said "wlw" do you even know what that means? nothing has been ruined, clearly my community liked my comment
you're mad about people "thinking they know everything about everyone" while vastly jumping to conclusions
@@rob_oz it really makes you think, really says something about our society
@@n0-one0 no wlw refers to any women who love women, not restricted to lesbians
This is the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.
For the last 15 years I always thought the lyrics were “got gym class in heaven with her”
Paul Bancroft, wow- i like that
Me too and honestly the truth disappoints me
She tweaked the lyrics on account of being a folkie.
Same..as far as I’m concerned that’s the lyric
Greatest cover of all-time. (Start at 2:07 if you're having any doubts.)
O.k. now I'm smitten. I've been on board for about a year now and now I'm smitten. She rules I hope she keeps singing songs.
this begs to be on the soundtrack of that new movie The Half of It
I always find my way back here I love this sm
This is exactly what I felt like hearing! Well done! I love this :)
Can she do NO wrong?! LOVE.
what if she was to commit multiple atrocities??
@@georgesmitherson4721 Well then the answer to the question I asked would be, "Yes. Yes she most certainly can do wrong" 🤷♂️
Two years later and still as good as the day it came out :))
This is amazing . One of my fav songs since back in the day
this kinda reminds me of that netflix show “I am not okay with this”. like the relationship between the two main girls
RIP Mike. He would play this song every time he hosted open mic night.
a perfect combo of artist & song
this song is just somehow better when it’s sung by a woman idk how to explain it
Nahhh
When I first heard the song I was on a plane to the other side of the world listening to the airline's selection on repeat. I had no idea who it was by and genuinely thought it was being sung by a woman! When I eventually saw the video and realised it was a guy with a high pitched voice and a standard high school rom com story I was quite disappointed. Girl crushing on popular girl who turns out to be into her too and wants to take her to a concert was a better story in my opinion than the cliched 'nerdy guy wins in the end' story.
You guys just love the idea of nerdy metal head lipstick lesbians
@@nickt8564 okay and ?
well said arctic monkeys
Wow! Special kind of wonderful right here. Fly high Phoebe. Your awesome.
Yesss...I love that this song is still going strong!
a perfect pop song sung by the world's best new singer/songwriter
this came and went on spotify so fast :'( bring it back
This is absolutely phenomenal.
MY JAW DROPPPEDD ONTO THE FLOORR AND ROLLED AWAY
I do like her original songs, but her covers are just so... every one of them 🥲🥲 beautiful
the definitive version of this song
The is the definite article
This a great reference
How someone can instantly make every cover their own like this is un-fuckin-believable. What a talented musician.
This is one of the best things ever. I love it.
The reverb on these tracks is so subtle and dreamy...
Amazing!
why is this not playing on every radio station on the planet-
I enjoy how she didn't change the pronouns or cut any of the lines out like so many covering this song do
she's a wlw so it works
omggg yes, it’s so annoying when they do that
in her first album she has a song “you missed my heart” and it’s a cover but she doesn’t change the pronouns and it sounds so good
Yeah bc she's bi 🤣
damn but when taylor swift don't change pronouns when she covers yall dont say she queer
@@rugma1696 cuz she's never came out and said she's bi Pheobe has.
the ARTISTRY this has aside, phoebe was doing her GOODT SINGING here WOW. these were VOCALS period
always always always
This cover shows what a great “overdrive voice” she has besides the angelic stuff we know from her albums
Oh my fucking god! I just found this!!!!!! I am friends with a few folks from Wheatus and love their band, so to hear this is so rad.
She does this well…one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard…
It’s twenty to three in the morning and I’m here. It’s worth it.
still... ...best cover of all time.
so good
this cover threw the first brick at stonewall
gb2 tumblr
you're right!
LMFAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
this is the most awful white feminist comment ive ever seen hahahaha
Mel Jus lol and all the white people agreeing
best cover ever!! so hard to find!!
I'm late to the party but omg this is great. My favourite pop song done brilliantly by a superb artist.
New spin on the song. Thx u its awesome bud. I'm a little late.
I just listened in this order: the original, the pmj Janis style, Amy shark, then this one! That was a fun ride, you definitely need to cap it off with this version for sure!!!!
Petition to get this on spotify?
Her voice is so cool. I can’t describe it
SOMEONE PLS PUT THID ON SPOTIFY AS A POFCAST
She is a once in a lifetime talent.
Phoebe could sing me the dictionary and it'd still sound oh so fire.
Dirtbag a la Americana! Love it! Sounds like a top line Fender or Martin (very tight acoustics)...& the voice....superbly done! Very worthy of my personal review: OUTFUCKINGSTANDING! ✌😎✌
damn this version is beautiful.. it's perfect
I love how Phoebe makes every song she sings her own
her not changing the pronouns.. gay rice
Maybe she is gay
@@snacpaczack8264 she is bi
So? It's just a song.
@@MrLee204 I always like to hear a cover where the pronouns haven't been swapped; it just feels like they really connected with the original song.
why would anyone change pronouns? wtf?
That run at 3:49 is so good
I play this for my cats all the time. That says a lot about me.
this song never made me cry before
Phoebe could sing the phone book and make it sound phenomenal...
I love the original. This is mind bendingly good!
Sometimes the algorithm works. This is one of those times.
Mmmmm those harmonies🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Her voice is so damn good.
Brilliant, just Excellent. Well done as Simon would say :)
Those harmonies put me on a cloud
So good! It sounds like phoebe.. But also like she was there when this was recorded.. So natural actually.. More natural to hear it in her voice
Wow. This is amazing! Thanks Phoebe - keep going!
crazy banger
What a great cover of a great song!
This is awesome
What little faith in humanity I had left depleted when I saw that people actually dissliked this video
