I like Metallica’s “Whiskey in the Jar” better than the original but agree most redos are crap. There’s a pianist name of Gamazda on TH-cam that does justice to a lot of older rock songs, I especially liked her “Comfortably Numb”. The band Striking South did a decent go at “Country Roads”
Look what they've done to your song Melanie. They done you proud girl. Awesome remake Dollyrots and the last time I ever said that was when Johnny Cash covered 'Hurt'.
This video was my first introduction to the Dollyrots. I remembered the old Melanie tune but thought “who is this little pixie belting out this oldie ?” Never looked back. One of my favourite bands, bar none.
I love Melanie's original, and this gets a 100% thumbs up as a perfect updating to that great tune. The singer in this even sounds like Ms. Safka...Great Job
So glad that this group is hooked up with Blackheart Records. It would have been a damn shame to have squandered The Dollyrots with any of the labels that were too stupid to sign Joan.
Kick ass cover! And I love the original. It takes talent to reinvent a song like this, while still leaving it intact. Me First And The Gimme Gimmes are the best at this, and this cover is as good as anything they could do. Thank you for this!
If you just look at her, she's cute, as soon as that voice starts she is suddenly 25 times more cute. That voice is absolutely magical. Like others have said, Not generally a fan of covers, but, this outshines the original by no less than 6-7 times. I'll have to look into the rest of what they do now. :) - DJ Pantha
@@DiamanteDea I couldn’t decide if each pair of brand new roller skates was a metaphor for a different guy. I spose he’s got a band new key means a new house but the same guy
The lead singer/Bassist and the guitarist are married with 2 cute kids, they've been together since they were preteens!! Really a lovely couple!
The drummer is my uncle, and he now has a daughter and teaches an early childhood music class
@@cartworks1259 Brings tears to my eyes. ❤
And they are great together on stage 😊
This remake is brilliant. Not a big fan of remakes in general but I never imagined this song with power chords in the 70s.

Good tune
Melamine is dead !?!?
Who's Melanie ?
@@michael-lt3jh she sang the original song, a no.1 hit in 1971. Passed away Jan 24,2024
This is exactly what this song needed.

I fking love what you've done to my old favorite song from 1972.
I’ve been looking for this song for years!! Jbtv brought me here!!!!!
0:52 that bell sound added in is my favorite thing ever

Gotta love that 140p look
That's punk!

Wow, this is a much better rendition of the song. Rock on.
This is a badass video for a badass cover of a badass song. You guys seriously need to re-release this video in HD. Keep rockin'!
Great rendition - turned up to 111.......you've done all right "for a girl" oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Loved the original. This is the best cover to me. Rock and roll lives!

Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma
I think from now on every stalker in the world should "rollerstalk" while listening to this song.
My new favorite cover song!!
I'm still partial to The Interrupters version of Bad Guy, but this is pretty damn good. I also like Aretha's cover of Respect.
Toxie and I just discovered you!!
THIS IS HOW YOU KICK A SONG IN THE ASS ........GREAT JOB !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just wanna leave a comment here, rocks!
I really don't understand why you are not more famous. Much more well-known. You are great. Fking great.
Truly genius.

So cool the drama is my friends dad
one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen
Is this the song Melanie sang about in, "Look what they've done to my song, ma!?"
✨🤩💕✌🏼
The Kids in the Hall sent me here.
They do Melanie justice
So is the song about a girl getting with lots of guys or chasing after the same guy over and over?
Chasing and obsessing over a man

Anybody out there ever heard of "I've got a brand new combine harvester" by the Wurzels? DIdn't think so...... :-)
Мне нравится катание на роликах
Как ок вступление
How the fuck did Nirvana make their videos the way they did when editing was so bad in the 2000's?
Is that EMMA STONE on the gorgeous thunderbird ? :P
If you mean the woman playing bass and singing, that's Kelly Ogden and the man on lead guitar, is her husband and childhood sweetheart.
Audition dance Nexon T-T
Sorry, the original is still my support animal.
A rare case of a cover better than the original!
Agree 100% Love these guys!
Actually I have... :D
Hoho the girls are................ loose
punk meets terminally cute
Blair likes this song better by Katharine Mcphee
McPhee's version is sleep-inducing.
@@hellogoodbye4061 I feel McPhee's is just done more sensual.
lamo
Юля тупой рок не когда не понямал
This version sucks. Where's Melanie
Melanie got old.
Budapest.... Crazy I know....
yeah I guess my ears are broke also, love the song but not from them!
