Alanis Morissette - "Basket Case" live (cover Green Day) @ Jimmy Kimmel Live, 26/set/2012

[@ryankwiatkowski5741]

Genius,the way this version brings to the front the anxiety of the lyrics. slowed down and vocally focused.

[@AlanRaviAtchison]

One of my favorite songs from the 90s performed by one of my favorite artists of the 90s.

[@LeeJRayk]

I swear take any song from the 90's, slow it down, play it acoustically and it brings new feelings of nostalgia, sadness, mortality, and memories of when life was simpler and the future was far off.

[@johnnyfallen87]

Alanis version is really beautiful.... Im in love with the music style & vibe❤

[@tomricks7055]

Everything she does amazes me

[@ericnierstedt6242]

I love the original but I got to say this version works too. Billie Joe always said the song was about anxiety And panic attacks But it’s such a fast catchy song I think that gets lost most of the time. She’s slowing it down so you could actually listen to the confusion and discord the narrator is feeling.

[@Skaterbun]

I agree slowing it down really makes the message hit home.

[@cookiman4225]

Nah I think how upbeat and fast the song is normally really brings out that this is just something that's pushed back and the lyrics mirror this too

[@melliedee7532]

The cover i didnt known i needed.

[@tbdog99]

A great song can be played in any style. Basket Case. It can be a rocker, a ballad, a reggae tune or even a rap song. This is just beautiful.

[@jodypowell7052]

This deserves more accolade's than it's RECIEVED! Give love to the weird and...be weird and creative/supportive. Great version from a great artist.

[@coopersworld8782]

Your comment deserves more likes than it’s RECEIVED!

[@claraschumann4482]

This version is absolutely wonderful. She added a different layer of emotional depth to the original lyrics that reminds me of the way Nina Simone interpreted some of the most meaningful Bob Dylan songs. I love, respect and admire her as an artist so much ❤

[@abipogi]

I remeber Alanis was promoting her album during this time. She could have performed one of her new songs and benefit from the performance, yet she sang a song from Greenday in support for Billy. Thats huge.

[@yerkogomezcortes9748]

Majestuosa representación del significado de esta canción, Green Day y Alanis Morrisette son leyendas de los 90 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@bobxont]

Loved it!

[@bendeloyola9021]

Green Day is awesome forever

[@locoeskimo]

love the tempo change....

[@angelbritos2039]

Heart it at 1.25 fast and sounds perfect!... 👌👌👌

[@claudio_gar11]

You're right...much better

[@BlueSid1]

This is great! We did a Basket Case cover AND an Alanis Morissette cover. Like this very much!

[@diegovolpe11]

I love Alanis and Green Day

[@Mauti84]

despite of all comments she ruined a punk rock song, in my opinion she expressed the fragile aspect of it in a way only she can do.

[@arielreilly5397]

Green day ruined punk rock by releasing Dookie

[@onerunninfool8487]

Dookie was such an empowering punk album so to say it ruined punk is a lackluster comment itself. and the way Alanis nails the anxiety induced title speaks volumes. I've heard this song millions of times but have listened to it for the first time. ❤

[@joemckim1183]

What's the point of doing a cover exactly like the original? If you want it to sound exactly the same than what's the point?

[@Jay-mt6nu]

@@joemckim1183 doing it fully in one's own way completely changes the meaning of what the original song is like

[@joemckim1183]

@@Jay-mt6nu She's not playing the original song though, she's playing a cover.

[@suryatremonti]

A great performance 🔥

[@kontetore461]

alanis very creative , i feel relaxing

[@mmurph617]

Maybe Billy Joe can cover Ironic.

[@stone2k]

Alanis was a replacement FOR Green Day on the show this night... they had to cancel because of Billie Joe's breakdown at the award show.

[@jordanbridges]

Mental problems are no joke, they suck for me. Props to Alanis for representing Billy, and for Billy for battling mental issues, and taking a mental health break.

[@Little_Dragonite]

Brilliant❤

[@antoniomontoya9680]

Wow ! Just WOW !

[@carles.s]

Magnificent

[@nuke2625]

While my Tears roll by.

[@jostkosak7546]

I listened to this original song thousant times but I just got it now - this lyrics is totaly Alanisis style.

[@alexvera1944]

Amazing

[@stevanzant3]

Mi sono commosso

[@Vadilator]

When a song has a certain quality it can be played in different ways. I think this video proofes my point.

[@chriscarew899]

Beutiful!!

[@shelleyrightmyer6421]

Ilove you somuch miss big hug ❤

[@iantench2835]

This was when he was in rehab after the iheart show meltdown. She was sweet for supporting him this way

[@davidganning8699]

My word that's different but also highly enjoyable

[@chinettteacaylar1598]

I am a fan since 1994

[@JulioRedCosplay]

Song starts at 0:26

[@pleutron]

LOL. I love Alanis. I'm not sure about this cover though. Something about the speed of Green Day's original that gets me going. However, the way that Alanis sings this, I could "almost" believe that she wrote it haha.

[@muhammadyazid474]

Best cover

[@allenscott7048]

She make this song so much better

[@jordanbridges]

She made it her own, not better or worse.

[@juliovillagran4105]

Nah, the raw energy of the original cannot be replicated. This is the sleepy version.

[@wildsugars]

I just found my new f****** favorite song 😂

[@badethtrinidad6708]

Do you have the time to listen to me whine About nothing and everything all at once? I am one of those Melodramatic fools Neurotic to the bone No doubt about it Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned? I went to a shrink To analyze my dreams She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down I went to a whore He said my life's a bore So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Huh yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh, ooh) Grasping to control So I better hold on Sometimes I give myself the creeps Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me It all keeps adding up I think I'm cracking up Am I just paranoid? Or am I just stoned?

[@aigriffin42604]

Who is in the mood of a little country?😁

[@gerardoefraincastanedacast4044]

😢😢😢😢😢

[@laughingoutloud5742]

She was covering for Billy; he'd gone to rehab

[@MarceloMetayer]

Es como si la canción la hubiera escrito ella.

[@borisborisov884]

it's not bad.

[@jeffedydooda]

Fook me that's good,,

[@michelle7286]

Billy Joel ? Lol

[@kennyrazor81]

yea yea yea is not the words!

[@Graham_Hand]

Artistic license

[@she_sings_delightful_things]

"(HE) said my lifes a bore, so quit my whining cause it's bringing (HER) down" 🤔

[@goncalodvd]

Its like that in the original :D

[@chesterarthur8571]

Zzzzzzzzzzz snore......

[@Lucimar-bt4ir]

Linda, te amo Alanis. I would like be your friend with benefits 😂 just kidding 😘🎼🎵🎵🎶

[@hamburgerwithcheese3263]

No. It's ruined. No actually it isnt bad might be in a disney movies credits..or the original

[@marioe.chavez25]

más de weva no se puede

[@xxslipknot4life33xx]

great cover but don't think it suites her voice

[@lpscutiepie2806]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@simonnoob666]

como el hoyo

[@jackattack5915]

She took all of the meaning out of the song!

[@CavemanJesus4Life]

She made it more dramatic, than a shot in the arm

[@antoniomontoya9680]

She gave meaning to it

[@C1rcusMaximus]

avril's better

[@maximilianopoblete1261]

El de avril es igual al original no tiene personalidad asi q next el de avril

[@Paulo-cq2gz]

Discordo! A personificação da Alanis, juntamente com o seu talento fez dessa canção super agradável. Ao contrário de Avril que não abrilhantou a canção!

[@danielzertuche7053]

Avril Lavigne did it better

[@akioijuin8709]

Avril Lavigne's cover is better

[@GNRLKNB-kq9ge]

Stop, just stop. You can’t cover a punk rock song like this, it just can’t be done. Especially if it’s by Green Day.

[@vitorferreira8782]

* pop punk

[@mickaykay6593]

Listen to Josh Curnrows cover of this song, it's slow like this, but it's amazing 😍😍

[@billcook4768]

Actually, I’m pretty sure she just did.

[@tamadrummer1nz]

She did a great cover of a pop punk song. Green Day isn't special

[@misterknightowlsguitarrant6984]

Doesn’t that just make this cover even more punk in its ethos? Isn’t punk about slaughtering sacred cows? Well here you go

[@personman5589]

She’s definitely talented but this is just a bad cover of the song, it takes away from the intended meaning of the song, it’s supposed to be fast and loud to mirror the emotions it’s describing

[@chelseatiffanylampard7475]

jeez stop stop stop punk songs cant be played like that.

[@aaronsibley]

then don't listen to it and stop whining. not very punk of you

[@Graham_Hand]

Yes it can she proves it can

[@juliovillagran4105]

Alot of people would argue that Green Day aren't really punk. Either way you can't compete with the original.

[@sonias3778]

No me gusta.

[@kostasbozas5314]

Avril Lavigne's cover is way better !

[@jodysams4880]

green day way better this sucks but she's hot

[@caioalves6764]

Fuck what you think, dumbass

[@skankingtrip5004]

Great cover
