Whoever taped this has redeemed every asshole who has ever taped a show from the front row of their local venue. I'm so very thankful for this.

[@arnolddsouza2049]

Im 100% on-board for him to record this as a single and release it

[@blackfootedferret]

Yes! Please

Jumping the Shark Lyrics [Verse 1] Mom, I know I let you down And though you say these days are happy Why's the power off and I'm fucked up? And Mom, I know made dad proud Never say your son's a preacher When the boy can't fill his sleep Oh I said [Hook] x2 I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I want a new life [Verse 2] One as an adult So I'm coming home tonight No matter what the cost And if the plane goes down Or if the crew can't wake me up Just know that I'm alright Oh I was not afraid to die And even if there's songs to sing Or grandchildren you'll never meet It might not be that time No I was not afraid to die Cause I put more faith in TV shows Than I ever have some holy ghost You know you've played a part But after everything went dark I started I started...

[@spartan7553]

HOLY DAMN HEADLIGHTS CHORUS WAS ORIGINALLY FROM HERE

[@spktr117]

Nate wrote this song. Eminem ' s version is just different audio and lyrics

[@Addisonmoreno]

I wonder if Eminem listened to this, realized its potential and decided to collaborate with Nate. Amazing song.

[@FrankiesUploads]

He so did. Even Shady has to sample from somewhere.

[@rock.robster]

Fran O'Reilly My dude, shady died along with proof. All that is left now is Eminem and Marshall.

[@tylerhowe8594]

Not even rock robster shady just made a new album. The shady xv

[@chechu86]

+Addison M It was Nate who collaborates with Eminem, and not vice versa

[@elcangrivas]

Baagoat Nate was the one who propose the song, Marshall don't even know about it

[@blair1888]

they NEED to release this !

[@blackfootedferret]

"Put more faith in TV shows than I ever did in some holy ghost..." makes me think of twin peaks. 😅

[@user1739z7]

Don't get me wrong, Headlights is fine. But every time I hear it on the radio, I get sad and think of this. I wish it would've made it on the album

[@Alien-mf8tf]

I really liked Headlights but I do wonder where it would have gone as a song if it wasn't used for Headlights.

[@jihyoIuvr]

Where can I find it's audio?

[@Syphusle]

@@jihyoIuvr it's never been recorded. That's what so sad about it for us.

[@blackfootedferret]

Absolutely. I totally feel the same. He says it's still his favorite. It was his obsession with it and getting it perfect that ended The Format

[@blackfootedferret]

"Put more faith in TV shows than I ever did in some holy ghost..." makes me think of twin peaks. 😅

[@johnjones617]

Jumping the Shark into the Gambler OMG I love it The gambler is my favorite Fun. song and Jumping the Shark compliments it so much

[@ThanhHuynh-hp7mz]

oh man I am now addicted to the gambler. It's so beautiful!

[@rosecky44]

i was so happy this turned into headlights because this is definity one of my favorites

[@puakumbu4092]

Thanks for the video.It's funny how amazing Nate's voice is... on its own or in others' songs.. it's hard to comprehend esp. in an Eminem's album, but he just shines. 'Headlights' is one of.. if not the best song in MMLP2 to some..Nate must have some Midas touch or something.. LOL.

[@lorenzbarto2809]

Bad guy and rap god and maybe evil twin are better

[@chechu86]

la canción que canto al comienzo es De Nate, el la empezó a escribir.. y después se la dio a Eminem quien la termino grabando... y esta es la canción con la que dicen que Eminem se reconcilio con su madre..

[@valeria262]

I love headlights and I like Nate in it but I don’t love it because of him

[@socialmediachampion5741]

oh my god! im so glad im not the only one who knows headlights! and this song!

[@keyruess6274]

this song goes deep in the heart *-* , great song Fun.

[@drowsy4400]

Holy shit this was released over 10 years ago.. time flies by fast

[@shanemiddleton7568]

This was an amazing song and I think that it should be its own masterpeice.

[@CoolLikeNerimon]

+heathergoo thanks for uploading this. It's such a good song it's so sad there isn't a studio recording of it

[@DiNozzoWeatherly21]

I love when he has his eyes closed and he's smiling ❤

[@channel12985]

It's sad when he starts singing the gambler he starts to cry at one part. It's a power and sad song, but also very beautiful.

[@smokyshroom]

Incredible.. it is true artistic magic what has become of this beautiful song when shared between two talented artists of different genres. A work of art, packed with emotion.

[@lucasmain99]

how did this not make the album

[@angproball]

Thanx for loading this beauty...

[@aminf9787]

12 years later im here to listen to the original song :)

[@elmascholo13]

this song is just abosuletly epic...........please nate make this a single or put it on a new album I will buy it 100%

[@Manuel-Anthony]

Look up headlights-Eminem with Nate

[@sammiesham]

Oh my god. Nate... This is amazing.

[@rosecky44]

Amazing lyrics

[@Anchesenamon93]

"Jumping The Shark" is great!

[@heather_goo]

@Shepsterof92 I think he said it was 'Biggle' but not sure - think it was a joke between them as before this video starts Nate said it was 'jumping the shark'. I absolutely love this song, hope it makes the next record...

[@angelineng4582]

When he started singing Jumping The Shark, my eyes started become watery... T-T

[@israelestrada2246]

La verdad esta canción me ayuda mucho cuando estoy triste,😞 y amo mucho esta versión grande fun y nate.🙏

[@blackfootedferret]

"Put more faith in TV shows than I ever did in some holy ghost..." makes me think of twin peaks. 😅

[@spktr117]

I wouldn't mind if this was on Aim and Ignite instead of becoming Eminem's song.

[@1deaver]

My God this was awesome. Clap clap

[@peytonjerome4111]

Jumping The Shark Is AWESOME!!!!

[@MusicMrsLove]

when i heard headlight, i was like. hmmmm this sounds familiar haha hope there will be headlights part 2

[@lisavandefilm]

I love it that they used it for headlights

[@fadzmelon]

All fun. covers are amazing! Their songs inspire me.. :")

[@Mrsxaarxritter]

Beautiful !

[@jacintanair9157]

Amazing song !!!!

[@whiteowl1137]

Thanks for the upload 👊

[@AVERYfunperson]

Parts of this song have now been incorporated in Eminem's new song "Headlights" Definitely worth a listen. It's great.

[@DiNozzoWeatherly21]

I love this.

[@homolone]

They should release this amazing song!!

[@andrewnicholls316]

powerful song

[@DiNozzoWeatherly21]

When I listened to the beginning of headlights I basically started crying because.

[@tracysimmons7033]

WOWOWOWOWOWOOWOWWOOWOWOWOWOW

[@JuliaOliver100]

This is awesome!!!!

[@ThisUselessHeart2]

HOW THE ACTUAL ASLFKSd am I JUST finding out about "Jumping the Shark"?? D: (it's so good, thanks for the upload!)

[@antonioandrade9872]

Me encanta la cancion headlights, cuando canta su parte nate ruess me hace llorar.me gustaría ver un video en concierto de nate ruess y eminem.

[@lorilee-bevan6414]

Crying so much i love this song pleas e put it on an album ;_;

[@Hannah123The]

omg, it's perfect!

[@ThanhHuynh-hp7mz]

i thought that there were 2 songs what!

[@monicasmm]

I do like Headlights, bought it as soon as it was released, but I think I like Jumping the Shark better just because it's straight from Nate and it's what he wanted it to be. Eminem's half is great too, but I prefer Nate's.

[@NomadCRY]

Two different person two different music style, one of them is rapper and other one is not rapper. So, how can you compare two different singer?

[@theleprechaunman9553]

Because Nate and em made part of this song the chorus to Headlights

[@NomadCRY]

TheLeprechaun Man It's different thing you idiot.

[@monicasmm]

No it's not actually Emin. No need to call anyone an idiot. Headlights is basically Jumping the Shark with some parts taken out, lyrics changed, and Eminem added to it.

[@monicasmm]

Emin Demircan seems like the only English you're fluent in is insults lmfao x)

[@christiansantaana5775]

2010 headlights came out in 2013

[@theleprechaunman9553]

Eminem and Nate Ruess worked on this song for a while changed some stuff and made it the chorus.

[@farkinator7205]

TheLeprechaun Man Nate's been writing this song for longer than he's been in fun. instagram.com/p/lJWc8erNWD/

[@aleciasutherland3525]

Why wouldn't they put this song on an album?!? It's amazing! One of my favorites by them!

[@HollyConquer]

I really hope this is on the next album as a 'Headlights pt 2' or something. (because the lyrics are used in Headlights which Eminem did with Nate)

[@meceve]

Oh my goodness! This song is so sad! The lyrics are amazing! Nate is a fucking lyric genius!

[@bucktizzy5911]

Where can I hear these songs please let me know?!

[@kelseychaplain6935]

I have Jumping the Shark on my ipod, and the other day I KNEW I heard it coming from my brother's room... super weird to have this in an eminem song. I'm so out of touch with modern pop.

[@christophersusantosucahyo464]

can i have that mp3 please?

[@willhuynh6330]

How man? Can I have a copy? Thanks

[@iselanelson8874]

The band didn’t think it fit their genre. Nate pitched it to producers he was hanging out with. One if them said, Eminem will like it.

[@lIllIlIllIlIlI]

Does anybody have the lyrics to this? I can't fully understand what he's saying but I can tell it's emotional and beautiful and I just wish there was a full version.

[@pupperoniz]

MOm, I know I let you down, and though we say these days are happy, why's the power off and I'm fucked up? And Mom, I know I made dad proud, but never say your son's a preacher when the boy can't fill his sleep. well I said, I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I want a new life. I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I want a new life one as an adult, so i'm coming home tonight, no matter what the cost. And if the plane goes down or the crew can't wake me up, just know that i'm alright, I wasn't afraid to die. And even if there's songs to sing or grandchildren you'll never meet, it might not be my time, no I wasn't afraid to die, 'cause i put more faith in TV shows than I ever have some holy ghost, you know you played a part, even after everything we've done. I started I started I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark

[@lIllIlIllIlIlI]

Jessica Brewer thank you so much!

[@4everBlackbelt]

lets just all take a moment to just yes

[@chickenmonger]

@heathergoocrue Definitely. They've got two other songs, To All the Girls I've Slept With, and Stitch Me Up, and I really want them to release a B-side album or something so they can get it all out there.

[@bucktizzy5911]

Can I find this song anywhere a clearer version

[@tarabaucom3241]

i hope its on the next album

[@alykat47]

you know how nate did song with eminem? they just use the lyrics from jumping the shark! its great, go listen to it, it's called "headlights"

[@badgerfann3618]

OK, now I know Nate doesn't like to throw away clothes, cuz his outfit looks the same as in the NWL video :) Sorry had to smile over that.....wish this song had made it onto an album. Headlights is ok, but really not a fan of rap and want more of Nate's incredible voice & lyrics.

[@MrButterflybutter]

I miss the sound of The Format.

[@ashtomlinson1836]

Awwh.!!

[@myndirnotur]

jack! nice!

[@Shepsterof92]

Grreat!!! Wait, why did he say it's called "Fickle" or "Pickle"?? At 0:13 ? It sounds like that.... But you were there, do you know what he said just then? Thanks.. Really, love your videos, their so good live it's hard to screw up taking a video! :)

[@decisivepain]

I wonder if Nate even thought about sharing this song with Eminem or anyone for that matter back then.

[@warrenc1903]

saw it in an interview, I'm pretty sure he didn't at all. He really never let anyone even change the lyrics, until one of his guys had eminem listen cus they all thought he would love it, and he did and they had him do wat he wanted and stuff, something like that

[@dannyramirez6679]

{]:{ badass song!'

[@fishlawyer2799]

what did he say the song was called? pickle?

[@elmascholo13]

I think he said fickel, not sure if he was joking

[@xcanini]

Listen to eminems new song ''Headlights'' Ft Nate Russel.

[@Shepsterof92]

Oh okay, well thanks! Yeah, good stufff!! :}

[@anx331]

oh don't forget What The Fuck. this one is one of their best :=

[@ssllgymnast]

It sounds like one of The Format songs

[@MrButterflybutter]

I need to have a conversation with them.

[@ThanhHuynh-hp7mz]

can someone tell me why the format seperate?

[@joeturone]

When I found out that my favourite singer and my favourite rapper were collaborating I was OVER THE MOON. And it was so worth it, this song is stunning. Eminem is the reason I got into music, and Nate Ruess helped me further develop that - if anyone happens to see this and fancies having a listen to my stuff feel free to head to my KZbin channel. Heavily inspired by both Nate and Eminem!

[@user-rr4km9vi3z]

What's the name of the other song?

[@Addisonmoreno]

The Gambler

[@venurangamanage8271]

yo he is so talentted but i have to say eminems headlights hit me hard. no hate though . #eminemstanforlife

[@1VirFortis]

But hey, if we haven't heard of Headlights would this version be as impactful? There's a little paradox here.

[@mkl987]

Nate looks fucked on this... Hahahaha! Love him

[@KingsIslandHistory]

This video title makes it sound like someones jumping a shark and landing in a gambler. Or maybe that's just me reading it after pulling an all-nighter. Eh.

[@rocklover3300]

I'm glad Nate sang this song again but sucks that Eminem is still rapping about his mom after 15 years

[@EeekiE]

whooosh

[@mr.goodbuddy2705]

so sloppy....

[@ericcamp8293]

it sound like he drunk lol

[@elmascholo13]

thats ok, it was magical lol
