its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
One day when I came home at lunch time
I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out
If it was one of those rowdy boys
Stood there with my neighbor called Peter
And a Flux Capacitor
He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah
He said
"I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine"
(Doing fine)
He took me to the future in the flux thing
And I saw everything
Boy bands, and another one, and another one
And another one
And girls there with round hair like Star Wars
Float above the floor
We drove around in a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah (ohh)
He said
"I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine"
(Doing fine)
I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Kelly Clarkson
I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album (seventh album, seventh album)
He told me he built a time machine
Like one in a film I've seen, yeah
I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine
Doing fine (whoa)
He said
"I've been to the year 3000" (yeah, babe)
"Not much has changed, but they lived underwater" (oh-ohh, yea-yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter" (granddaughter)
"Is doing fine" (doing fine, yeah, doing fine)
He said
"I've been to the year 3000"
"Not much has changed" (not much)
"But they lived underwater" (water, yeah)
"And your great-great-great-granddaughter, is doing fine"
(Doing fine)
He said
"I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed, but they lived underwater
And your great-great-great-granddaughter
Is doing fine"

Like a lot of the other comments are saying, I think this mainly about voyeurism. If the song was about his girlfriend, then why would he use the word spy. If you are a spy it means you shouldn't be caught, that is kind of the whole point, and if you are a voyeur, the whole point of the pleasure you get from it, is the fact that the other people don't know you are watching them. See a bit of a connection there?
Techno Ted
Audioslave
Audioslave
Techno Ted may be a person who caused Chris incredible emotional pain & trepidation as well as moments of peace & happiness but now is removed and awaiting his fate. Darling may be a different person who is also free of him and can live her life free of Ted's tyranny. "In between all the laughing, and daydreams ... lies: a desert of truth" Lies are like a desert or the omission of Truth: Where there were Lies then Truth was absent. The song, "Techno Ted", may be a cathartic celebration of the downfall of this person.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"
Holiday

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
Busted's original version has a more mature sound to it..And I find it superior to the JB cover-Though this version isn't all that bad...BUT- why take other people's songs -Change a few words-And release it to gain fame and money....Write your own shit.
Whoever thinks busteds verion is "perverted" are utter PRUDES. I mean the only lyrics that the Jonas brothers changed were mainly the bit about the tripple breasted women swimming around town naked... err thats not bad at all... and the changes the jonas brothers made are so unsubtle, you can totally tell when they sing which lyrics sound totally out of place. Also what is WRONG with saying your great great great granddaughter is "pretty fine"? yeah sure it might be a bit pedo to say that but this song isnt supposed to be serious really is it? and saying who wrote the song must have a "sick twisted mind" o dear... how old are you? like 10? that the normal age for jonas brothers fans right? cause I mean they can't even mention PG 13 stuff in their songs. Im sure life will have so many other shockers to throw at you so if u cant handle the relatively tame busteds version of year 3000, I seriously pity you and encourage you to grow the fuck up. I also agree with that the jonas brothers should write their own stuff... and a lot of you seem to be under the impression that the Jonas brothers write all their own stuff... news flash.. they dont. fair enought hey may write SOME of their songs but they've even said themselves that they only wrote a few of their songs and got with some writers to write others.... so dont be in shock when you find out a song your listening to is not a JONAS BROTHERS ORIGINAL.
Hahahahaha...Busteds version is PERVERSE? Haha...grow up. Its realistic. They were like 19 when they wrote that. 19 year old dudes ARE obsessed with boobs and nakes girls etc. Just cos Busted didnt manufacture everything about themselves and aim all their songs at 10 year olds doesnt mean theyre bad. At least Busted were a real band. The jonas brothers sure as hell arent. Theyre all about making money for Disney. Its pathetic.
you little girls actually think this shit is music? holy fucking donkey dick. these lyrics are so gay and faggoty, jesus christ. and i swear to god if you say "oh you just dont understand true love" oh shut the fuck up, neither do you. this is just some pussy song made by those corporate sellouts Disney to milk their cash cow, the jonas faggots.
I hope you like how much you've fucked up society by buying into this shit you call rock. Real rock is zeppelin, sabbath, metallica, rush, the police. Not "oooh ooh yeah bay bay oooh"
their guitarist plays the most simplistic chords and strings. but I bet none of you know what a guitar is because you all think this is music.
thanks for fucking up mainstream society even more. and if you call me a hater, go ahead. it's just the truth, you're just stubborn bitches in denial. and if you say I don't have a life, I probably have more of a life than you little pussies can dream of. if you think i'm jealous of their looks, lulz. they look like they were the spawn of rosie o'donnel.
and if you're actually taking the time to decipher these obviously well thought-out and extremely mind bending and complicated lyrics, well i've lost all faith in humanity
Its making me laugh at all the people who have described Busted as perverts. Just cause they sing about naked women with three boobs. There are so many more song that are more 'perverted'. Busted were like 20 when they relesed this so I think there mature enough to sing about naked women... its only one line. And I feel its kinda an odd line they replaced it with...
Also, why replace Michael Jackson for Kelly Clarkson? Is it because the Jonas brothers are trying to keep it real (what with living underwater in about 990 year) and not aim too high or because Disney doesn't feel that children now won't know who MJ is? I highly doubt that they would know what a flux capacitor is or even the Back To The Future films referenced in this song.
In conclusion, this is just another example of a cover that hasn't worked and the original is still better. I only found out today that the Jonas Brothers had cover it.
This is by Busted isnt it?
yeah.but busted's was perverted.i like this one better.
i love this song. i also love the jonas brothers.
i always thought jonas brothers made this song but this stupid band busted does?i got really mad so my liking for them has dropped from like 100 to like 90
This version sucks.. I like the Busted version waayy more
