Title: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: TurnMeOnDeadman on January 09, 2005, 02:00:38 AM
My favorite song by them is "Look What Youve Done", that song is so good..."Take my photo off the wall if it just wont sing, for you"

I like them because of their style and such, but the song you just mentioned is such a take off of the Beatles song Sexy Sadie.

Sexy Sadie:

Sexy Sadie what have you done
You made a fool of everyone
You made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie ooh what have you done.

Sexy Sadie you broke the rules
You layed it down for all to see
You layed it down for all to see
Sexy Sadie oooh you broke the rules.

One sunny day the world was waiting for a lover
She came along to turn on everyone
Sexy Sadie the greatest of them all.

Sexy Sadie how did you know
The world was waiting just for you
The world was waiting just for you
Sexy Sadie oooh how did you know.

Sexy Sadie you'll get yours yet
However big you think you are
However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie oooh you'll get yours yet.

We gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table
Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all.

She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie.


Look What You've Done - Jet:

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to prove

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Give me back my point of view
'Cause I just can't think for you
I can hardly hear you say
What should I do, well you choose

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

Take my photo off the wall
If it just won't sing for you
'Cause all that's left has gone away
And there's nothing there for you to do

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
Oh well, it seems likes such fun
Until you lose what you had won

Oh, look what you've done
You've made a fool of everyone
A fool of everyone
A fool of everyone

at least its not a ripoff of a rap song, or Good Charlotte or something!!! Id rather have a band take off a Beatles song than a good charlotte, or 50 cent 0r something I dont like

The piano intro also sounds like "Golden Slumbers"...and I remember watching Vh1 once, and Rachel Perry said that Jet had a song that sounded like a Beatles song , that has to be "Look What Youve Done" (sexy sadie)

Very true. Hey, does anyone else think the opening bars in "Don't Look Back In Anger" by Oasis are almost identical to Imagine?
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: TurnMeOnDeadman on January 09, 2005, 04:36:49 AM
speaking of Oasis, I love "Wonderwall"

oh, and if anyone listens to Radiohead..in the song "Karma Police"..in the "this is what you get" part of the song, the piano sounds alot like Sexy Sadie

I think they are pretty over-rated.

I agree with Indica
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: Bruno on January 10, 2005, 03:32:55 AM
I don't like them. One of their songs is an AC/DC ripoff (I dont remember the name right now)

Jet..Hmmm. Totally agree. When I first heard it I just shook my head and thought....'There goes another cover of a Beatle song'.' lol. Glad I was'nt the only one.

I like them a lot. They are one of the handful of newer bands that I can tolerate. Hope their next album is good too.
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: Sondra on January 11, 2005, 01:41:21 AM
I wonder if their name is taken from Paul's song. They are so obviously trying to sound like the Beatles. The whole song sounds like it's trying so hard to be a Beatle tune. But they're okay. I mean if you're gonna try to sound like some band, it might as well be the Beatles.

The main thing I like about them is their style and charisma. The clothes they wear are...how can I put it...well to me hot.

It's true that Jet have developed a Beatle-ish sound although a little rougher edged.
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?

? Noel Gallagher is a huge Beatles fan.
I dont like Oasis, but he always goes on about them...he loves the music..unlike Liam.
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: Will Campbell on January 13, 2005, 12:46:50 AM
Well, ok then perhaps I should have said Liam?  He's the one with the big gob right?   ;D  In any case, someone in the band Oasis slagged the Beatles off quite a bit, and that's the point I was making. 

Thanks for clearing that up. 
Title: Re: Does anybody like "Jet"?
Post by: Indica on January 13, 2005, 12:54:31 AM
No problems :)
Yeah, Liam is the gobby one..who wants to be John Lennon...but..laughably..never will.

I like Jet.  Yes, it says on their website that they got their name from the Paul McCartney song.  I like a lot of the songs that they don't play on the radio.  Move On is a good.

I like Jet (Macca's song)

their song "Move On" sounds similar to Floyds "Wish You Were here"..mainly the intro

I just got a 'Jet' DVD and it rocks. It looks to be done in a smaller venue too.

Jet are just Textbook in my opinion.
