Hey arseholes, this is called "songmeanings" not "yourdumbassedcommentsonthemusicvideo" Just because they dare to do feel-good music, you think they should be shot? and DXTR, u hate this song just cos AAF did it? that is about as shallow as it gets. Anyway AAF's record company wanted them to do a rock cover of mjs "earth song". And they sed no, cos they want to be known for there own music. Take that and stick it up your arse Phyxius.

I think both Michael Jackson and Alien Ant Farm did a fantastic job with this song. Michael's version was more appropriate when he was poper, and AAF's version works well now, bekuz they have the sound that is currently popular. The lyrics may not be perfect, but if you have something so harsh to say about it...why haven't I heard any of YOUR songs on the radio yet?

well they released movies before they released smooth criminal think u will find. of course u wouldnt notice if you have your tv set on mtv hits or whatever. would u rather make loads of money, be known well over the world and play sell-out gigs than have little money, have no1 know you and be a support band all of your short-lived career? yes? well you are a fucking sell-out as well. everyones a sell out. and if u refuse money then u are among the elite of the dumb artists

I think that this is the worst song ever written. Who ever wrote it should be lined up and shot. So should fukin Britney and all the other stupid pop craptastic bands. You shouldn't even call them bands. They don't deserve that privilige

The words are so poor!!! But its still a great "get u up and going" kinda song. The Alien Ant Farm version is much better than the original
