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
[Chorus]
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 the 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
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
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
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'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'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 heard a funny noise

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.
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
I'd hardly say that the original was outrageous, it suited the British teeny boppers just fine back when it was first released!
this is dire.
i dont care if James Bourne re wrote the lyrics for them, this is a crappy wanabe version of an ok song.
if they write their own music there doin a good job convincing people by convering 2 busted songs aint they? clever there managers are.
and if you think busteds version is persverse..well your abit silly really. pray tell how is it perverse exactly? great grandaughter is pretty fine? errr that aint really.
and the women swimming round town naked? maybe if they had said it in a dirtier way but they didnt.
gawd some people i tell ya!
:) busted fan for life (y)
it's something you can go to prison for, and how do you know that i'm not already suicidal and you just pushed me a litle to far by calling me names and then i go and kill myself? so i suggest you shut up and think before you speak.
