Lizzy McAlpine covers "Teenage Dirtbag"

[@hannahchristini6155]

this woman needs so much more recognition. She’s so talented and has the most beautiful voice. It blows me away how quickly her voice range changes

[@jaakkorahkola2430]

I would not worry about that. She is soooo good.

[@rogerbrown9089]

don't worry, it's happening right now

[@dimitryivanov9778]

She's a little girl, not a woman yet.

[@tomreingold4024]

@@dimitryivanov9778 At 24 years old, she’s a woman.

[@davidesparon1487]

She’s already hanging out with Jacob Collier, John Mayer, Finneas Eilish…

[@laaber3444]

This version makes it feel like im listening to this story for the first time.

[@endlesshyenas]

This is a lovely cover, but Phoebe Bridger's is as well.....

[@philgerrard6417]

Simply brilliant

[@tararogers5704]

The best cover of Teenage Dirtbag I have ever heard. Nearly made me cry because it makes me miss being a kid so badly. Beautiful, and full of that youthful yearning.

[@ejness]

Tell me about it. It perfectly captured the feeling of reminiscing those times now that I'm older and enjoying listening to the song when I was a teenager.

[@jguitar151]

Listen to Dorian Electra and sega bodegas cover.

[@brianconlogue1302]

Not only the best over of this song but might be the best cover of any song I have heard.

[@billbaldwin8074]

No one has her delicacy, pure sweet resonance, and phrasing. She’s so subtly incredibly good. Yeah, I love her.

[@poop8867]

kinda weird

[@allierayemusic]

love her too!!

[@Hitman-3315]

Phrasing? This is a cover.

[@FraserBernstein]

@@Hitman-3315 it's in reference to her choice of melody lines - she doesn't sing it note-for-note like the original. She puts in her own "phrasing" in terms of the way she sings the lines - 2:45 onwards is a good example. Completely different phrasing to Wheatus' version.

[@unshavenmarc]

I'd say that Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, Samia, Indigo De Souza, Anais Mitchell, and a dozen others has her delicacy, pure sweet resonance, and phrasing. All of them are talented. All of them sound alike. Homogeny in music happens, and it's ok for you to like just this scoop of vanilla.

[@loucabrey]

That "he doesn't know who I am" ughhhh heavenly voice.

[@saltlicksessions]

Hits ya right in the gut!

[@trnkskp]

People don’t realize how challenging this song is-not to sing, but to truly deliver. If you search for other covers, you’ll find only a few that capture it well, and even they often lack the originality of this one. The rearrangement of the chords and melody is simply beautiful! Thank you! :D

[@edd8460]

Lizzy can turn any song into her own version man, she got her own vibe and flavour like damn

[@LilLWH]

She did this live opening for dodie and it was the moment I fell in love with her as an artist

[@lilliealicea8002]

ahh same here!

[@newbie105]

Mine was the yebba song Paranoia Purple, with scary products. I very hard song technically by a singer who is also an amazing singer and she pulled it off magnificently.

[@Crybaby-Media]

@@newbie105 I really was introduced to her through Jacob Collier and Scary pockets collabs . Very glad i was .

[@mansjeppsson8077]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE RELEASE THIS ON SPOTIFY SO I DON'T HAVE TO LISTEN TO IT ON KZbin😭

[@lancecruwys2177]

but it’s on there already

[@blink3388]

I don’t normally tune into the lyrics of a song that well but hearing this version of the song really helped me to actually listen to what the story was. Super captivating cover!

[@borion7775]

I thought that exact same thing. I could really visualize it like it was practically a music video

[@Crybaby-Media]

Stories (on Spotify/apple music. a group? Or label? Kind of a collab project) features her a bunch, and they do a great job of setting the lyrics as Center stage in most of the covers. Lizzy does a “Dancing Queen” cover for them, and I’ve never heard it like that before . Somehow covers can sometimes make a song more discernible , or make lyrics more the focus . It’s interesting

[@seste87]

Same

[@spotifypremium0]

uughhhh i NEED this on spotify, im obsessed

[@SunnyJCR]

Wow. I was not expecting that much projection and resonance. I suddenly found myself enthralled. What a voice and presence.

[@drewgormley6933]

She popped out of the 70s watershed 50 years after

[@wonder7798]

Perfect explanation

[@alikaandrade3435]

I will never NOT comment about how much I love her voice. She’s just incredible.

[@wonderingthoughts926]

I’m 33 now, and I occasionally listen to the original of this on a long drive and remember my teenage years fondly. This version is absolutely amazing and has taken me right back to riding my bike home from the skate park, probably thinking about whatever chick I had a crush on that day and racing home before I got into shit. Simple times, never to be forgotten

[@Emiltonin]

I saw her perform this live at a Dodie concert and it was absolutely amazing

[@SpaceZombie]

The cadence/melody at @1:20 is just pure sunlight, beautiful

[@alexwebb6789]

I've heard this song too many times in my life. I clicked on this as a Lizzy fan, thinking I wouldn't listen to it through. I was wrong. Lizzy, you made an old tired song fresh again. Well done.

[@mrreecerichards]

The way she sings makes me understand the words more

[@jimmydriveway]

That was impressive. Awesome phrasing, transition to head voice seamless, great arrangement. This moved me.

[@daniellaytonmusic9865]

That change of the chords is impeccable

[@Lili-ty8tu]

she is so unbelievably talented.

[@zchris87v80]

To pick this song to cover too, an obscure tune and she nailed it

[@jesiagustin]

this is prob the cleanest cover ive heard wtf

[@xicanttl]

For all the unsavory stuff there may be on KZbin, this proves that there is still plenty of heart out there. I love running up on young artists that amplify their heart and emotions using music as their medium. Thank you for being there!

[@saltlicksessions]

Right on. Thanks for listening, and for meeting this good energy with your own :)

[@hannahk.summerville5908]

Is it weird that I want this played at my wedding? I love it so much!!!

[@rogerbrown9089]

a little weird : )

[@ShannonButtery]

for the love of god, record and release please

[@TomoFujitaMusic]

So much feeling, story in only 3:22 .... Beautiful job Lizzy & the Salt Lick Sessions!

[@saltlicksessions]

❣️

[@roleypyolee91]

Thank you for not autotuning anything! The small quivers and slightly out of tune guitar string are PERFECT for this song - it captures the authenticity of both the cover and original.

[@Jerrywood111]

i thought "why would anyone cover this solo" and then she absolutely blew me away. holy moly what a great performance

[@tinatiinatina]

I've never thought that Teenage Dirtbag could make me cry. Thanks Lizzy ❤

[@ewiken5529]

100%

[@sammitchell1924]

you should listen to the scala and kolacny choir version if you liked this one

[@ryantracy5863]

This young lady is the finest singer out there. Incredible tone and control.

[@abeharhar]

Reminds me of Phoebe Bridgers' cover of the song, hope they collab in the future!!!

[@imthefunmom7220]

I'll be 40 this year and this was my theme song back in high school 1999-2002 ..... Thank you for the memory

[@kevinbarrett9615]

Holy f&*k, I’ve never heard this song or artist before and I’m blown away ! This song encapsulates so much of the teen experience in small town lower income America , it’s heart wrenching. What a beautiful tormented version, simply stunning.

[@diegoist3]

One more thought. It takes a sensitive heart to see the beauty of a something beyond its appearance. That is the meaning of the song, and also what Lizzy did with it. Awesome.

[@michaelclark-zip]

beautiful chord run @1:47 wow

[@emmacarroll12]

this cover hasn’t left my head since I heard it in march… thank you lizzy 💛

[@Crybaby-Media]

She is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists . I love everything i hear from her .

[@lawrenceroos3619]

Find myself listening to this quite often. Appreciate you lizzy ✌🏼

[@drumitri]

I actually love this version more than the original....and I really love the original. Well done miss!! Love it!!

[@tuckerbugeater]

no you don't

[@michaelfavata2720]

Great cover. Love how it did something original. The decision to make it build into a climax during the "I've got two tickets..." part was very effective

[@erwinjenkins1233]

Her voice is effortless!

[@madelinwysocky9923]

I heard her sing this live when I saw her open for Dodie in february 🥺 lizzy is truly so talented 😭

[@aaronbarnes4761]

Which show?? I saw her in NY and don't remember this, but we did get to sing pancakes for dinner for her as she started stumbling over the words which was such an amazing moment.

[@madelinwysocky9923]

@@aaronbarnes4761 she sang it when she was on tour with Dodie as her opening act. I saw her open for Dodie in Nashville in February 2022 :-)

[@Journeymanlive]

jeez lucky you! she's amazing specially with just her with a guitar. @@madelinwysocky9923

[@jonathangriffith6949]

This is unbelievable. A miracle of a cover.

[@gulrotkake]

Man, I would love a tab of this, or even a video that focused on her hands. What a great rendition!

[@caseyflanagan3798]

That was gorgeous and moving. Her expression was so ringing. The perfect mic set-up added to the perfection. I really loved that.

[@leftoversushi]

I discovered this cover a couple weeks ago and have now listened to it 400 times

[@philgerrard6417]

The most beautiful rendition what an honor to hear this in my lifetime simply excellent lizzy

[@cdigdawg]

I wonder how many times she listened to this song growing up? Tonnes I'd guess.

[@GabbyTeAma]

the best vocals I've heard all week, and it's a Friday ;)

[@StrWrsMissStressS666]

Wow… just gave a whole new meaning to the song (which is amazing in itself) and she made it her own. Ffs!!!❤. Absolutely gorgeous!!

[@DaniiDomingos]

One of my favourite videos on youtube, completely in awe of this performance. Simply amazing.

[@saltlicksessions]

[@luisaboos2752]

This is what I’ll be showing my vocal coach so she can pleaaase please help me to someday sound remotely like her. In my ears thats perfection. Very beautiful thank you so much for this treat!

Killer mix, killer performance. Love those passing chords.

God her voice is transcendent

[@chamberfield1]

Outstanding!

[@brianconlogue1302]

This seriously might be the best cover of any song I have ever heard. The way you sang this song only added to the original meaning. When I hear this song it has always been special and reminds me of the days I was in middle school, but they way you sang it made me break down in tears. Thank you.❤

[@robinleckey]

Ever since hearing her live @ Red Rocks, been obsessed with her voice, amazing cover!!

[@bobmorphis7114]

Thanks, Lizzy! This is the first time I have really CONNECTED with this song, and your artistry is what made that happen!

[@mohammadabdulmoniem]

this is the cover that everyone want to hear.. amazing acoustic cover with pure voice . wooww❤ you took the song to another level

[@RandomAxeOfKindness]

I never heard of Lizzy before, but this is sublime, and it won't be the last I hear from her.

[@mattsmithsongs]

This is awesome! I used to love this album. Beautiful voice.

[@acousticsoundz1985]

There is something about this cover that jumps further back in time than the year the original song came out. A beautiful version of the song. Timing, nuance and raw talent but for some reason I feel like she has Joni Mitchell's hand on her shoulder

[@jasonboltz8255]

Lizzy, you have one of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Wishing you serenity and joy as you race to the stars. Congrats!!

[@CBDC_1]

recently find this beautiful voice on u2b music channel, now I see, no wonder I love her, super relax comfort while Im dealing boring things , taste story at my ears good sound, thank lord

Oh my god. This made me tear up. I never would have thought I could actually cry at that song. THIS RENDITION WAS SO BEAUTIFUL! Thank you thank you for making it and putting it up here for us. 💖

[@atruefaith6498]

Just stumbled across Lizzy McAlpine and my world is forever changed. Her voice reminds me of Suzanne Vega, but purer.

[@sohailhines]

One of those rare enigmatic live performances so perfect that you would change absolutely nothing.

[@MartinVanDerSande]

It's always the quiet ones. Beautiful.

[@CrushingKrisis]

I have always loved this song, but I was skeptical anyone could make it worth hearting with a single acoustic guitar cover. I'm so happy to have been proven wrong and to have discovered Lizzy McAlpine! There are so many phenomenal choices of chord voicings and vocal phrasings here I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll have to listen to it again!

[@jackdorrian9385]

This is a very lizzy cover and I love it, there’s a particular section in the second chorus 1:48 where it becomes LIZZYS song and it’s quite incredible to witness - best cover of this song I’ve ever heard 🎉

[@saltlicksessions]

We ❤️ Lizzy!!!

[@jaymabry1277]

I heard this live a while back it's amazing

[@chasewhitney]

🙌

[@hawkatsea]

sometimes family is born across radio waves and karaoke halls. and YT comments. Great acoustic rendition of one of ...no definitely...my favorite 90's tunes to sing (definitely at nobody's request). Yeeek, and her vocal inflections are modern and thoughtful. I wish this version was on my karaoke.

[@aaronjames1810]

The artistic choices you’ve chosen are immaculate

[@cycleish]

Wow! More please!!

[@MrPjeddie]

Prefer this version a trillion times more than the original!

[@timewaveZer0]

extra dimension added. WHAT A COVER!

[@PhilipBowenMusic]

absolutely crushed this

[@bernardhossmoto]

Lizzy's got the best vocal dynamics ever!

[@CaseyHardman]

There's something nostalgic about this cover that I can't quite put my finger on. Obviously the song brings you back, but Lizzy covering it just feels different (in a very good way).

[@saltlicksessions]

Agreed! Thanks for listening

Never knew I needed this version of this song till now. Love it.
