These guys are amazing. The Beach Boys were my favorite band when I was a kid, and now Relient k is, and thats kind of cool since Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys are a big inspiration to these guys. Matt H's voice is actually really nice! They all have good voices. Love these guys!
The highest praise I can give a Beach Boys cover is that I would listen to it again and this easily falls into that very small number of covers of which I would. Admirable!
Matthew Thiessen has a naturally high voice. He can hit those high notes no problem. I don't believe that this is auto tuned after seeing them live and being obsessed with them as long as I have.
The lyrics "I feel so break up" are not wrong. "Sloop John b" is an old folk song, popularized by The Beach Boys, but well known by many people long before Brian Wilson and the boys recorded their version and changed the lyrics to "I feel so broke up."
Actually the beach boys changed the lyrics in three places. Taken from the Sloop John B Page on Wikipedia: Lyrics changes Brian Wilson changed the lyrics in three of the lines of the song. He changed the lyric "This is the worst trip since I've been born" to "This is the worst trip I've ever been on". He also changed the lyric "I feel so break up" to "I feel so broke up." The line "broke into the people's trunk" is changed to "Broke in the captain's trunk."
Amazing song,when I listen to it, I feel like sailing at a beautiful blue sea somewhere near the caribbean, perfect sunny weather, dolphins jumping out the water....
Correct! The boat's name is short for the boat's owner name - John Bethell, The family Bethell arrived in The Bahamas from Bermuda in 1666 and are still alive and kicking!
We did a "guess the tune" game in my pre-ap texas history class, and I guessed this song immediately whenever I heard it because I love Reliant K, and know every one of their songs by heart!
The song originates in the Bahamas as a fishing song. It was normal to use terms like "break up" to describe being run down. Actually, there's a version on CZcams with Carl Wilson singing lead vocals and he says "break up", so deal.
believe it or not some people can actually sing in this world... just because pop artists and terrible commercials use autotune, doesn't mean everybody else does....
Haha I know.. I've seen them live (although I never doubted that they sang themselves) Matt sounded so amazing and I can't believe it.. I just wanna listen to him sing all day :3..
@yamahonkawazuki It's originally a traditional folk song called 'Histe Up the John B. Sail' popular in the 20's. When the beach boys covered it the changed 'this is the worst ship' to 'worst trip' as a drug reference. and 'break up' 'broke up'. But they weren't the first ones to play with the lyrics or general feel of the song. Check out Johnny Cash's version from '59 and other pre-beach boys versions.
We come on the Sloop John B My grandfather and me Around Nassau town we did roam Drinking all night Got into a fight Well I feel so broke up I want to go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I want to go home, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up I want to go home The first mate he got drunk And broke in the Cap'n's trunk The constable had to come and take him away Sheriff John Stone Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home So hoist up the John B's sail See how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I want to go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home (Hoist up the John B's sail) Hoist up the John B I feel so broke up I want to go home Let me go home The poor cook he caught the fits And threw away all my grits And then he took and he ate up all of my corn Let me go home Why don't they let me go home This is the worst trip I've ever been on So hoist up the John B's sail See how the main sail sets Call for the Captain ashore Let me go home, let me go home I want to go home, let me go home Why don't you let me go home
I love this song, be it Relient K's cover or The Beach Boys' cover. And I was wondering about the whole "I feel so break-up" thing until I read these text comments lol. I shall further research for the sake of my own amusement.

this band has mastered harmonies! they are the best
The lyrics "I feel so break up" are not wrong. "Sloop John b" is an old folk song, popularized by The Beach Boys, but well known by many people long before Brian Wilson and the boys recorded their version and changed the lyrics to "I feel so broke up."
It's a version of a folk song from the Bahamas, first popularized in the States by poet Carl Sandburg.
I love when they redo some of the older songs like this and Manic Monday!
i absolutely love this version of Sloop John B. It's freakin amazing! [;
WOW I didn't know Hoopes could sing! That makes all of them :D :D I love this band so much.
This song puts me in such a great mood, and makes me smile...lol!
i LOVE how all five of them sings :)
Cool new version of this song. I had a K car so that's a plus LOL
My favorite version of this song!

ok nerd
Best version I’ve heard.
I wish this song played while I walk through town. Like just from everywhere, but nowhere specific.
There's not too many times I say this about cover songs..but this an excellent version!
i love song!!! you guys are great!:)
Kudos to them for actually using the real lyrics, no matter how gramatically incorrect.
i have a new respect for this band. I listen to all 1960's music, and very little new stuff, but this was good
Love this version.
This is the BEST version... Relient K is awwesome!!
Eine würdige Vertonung des Klassikers.
Relient K hat ihren Job hervorragend gemacht! Die Instrumente, die Stimmen - alles passt.
What can I say... AMAZING! Best band ever.
That banjo makes this a creative rendition of the song + they have good voices
This is an amazing arrangement.
Amazing song,when I listen to it, I feel like sailing at a beautiful blue sea somewhere near the caribbean, perfect sunny weather, dolphins jumping out the water....
i was so hesistant to see this video, since I am not even that familiar with this band...but...Wow..Great cover. Really dig it.
Wow...these guys are good. Really good.
love this cover....
Relient K is amazing! this shows their diversity, they can do anything!
WHAT?! this is now my new favorite RK cover!!!!!! my gosh this is freakin brilliant
i am in love....
love this
AMAZING just found this, thank you so much!
Correct! The boat's name is short for the boat's owner name - John Bethell, The family Bethell arrived in The Bahamas from Bermuda in 1666 and are still alive and kicking!
Tbh I thoroughly enjoyed this version-so well done to Reliant K!
We did a "guess the tune" game in my pre-ap texas history class, and I guessed this song immediately whenever I heard it because I love Reliant K, and know every one of their songs by heart!
Wow !!!! It's the best interpretation I listened !!!!!.......Congratulations, guys !!
they play it very very well!!! amazing vocals!!!! good vibes
Wow! What a fantastic version!!! Great job fellows!
simply amazing!
Anyone who thinks Relient K uses autotune has obviously never seen them live.
I love this song. Really love it now!
Wow, I love this song, they did a really good job.
three words to describe this song
class, class, class
yay for relient k ! (:
cool i love them
It was a folk song in the west indies before the beach boys. Great cover!
dude! they can like totally pull this off...its like crazy
just awesome...
i sang this song three years ago for a school choir performance
Enjoyable, and the lyrics are correct.
Interesting mellow version. I like it up.
Great Song!
Bravo!
relient k is awesome!!
pure love.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
ahhh. i love it when they harmonize.
The song originates in the Bahamas as a fishing song. It was normal to use terms like "break up" to describe being run down.
Actually, there's a version on CZcams with Carl Wilson singing lead vocals and he says "break up", so deal.
These guys are exceptional. So were the Beach Boys. These guys are fresh and tallented. Those Beach Boys left alive are in decline now.
What in the goddamn!? Relient K? Doing a Beach Boys cover!? AND it's great!? How the fuck did I miss this?
believe it or not some people can actually sing in this world... just because pop artists and terrible commercials use autotune, doesn't mean everybody else does....
this song is soooooo catchy love it!
wow!
shut up!!! im not a creeeeeep....just in love!!! lololol
this isn't an AOL session, this is live at Capitol Studios. also youtube decreases the quality of sound so it isn't exact to the dvd that i have.
Haha I know.. I've seen them live (although I never doubted that they sang themselves) Matt sounded so amazing and I can't believe it.. I just wanna listen to him sing all day :3..
Terrific performance!
Suprisingly solid...
That's called "harmony." They're good at it. ;)
cool. thnx for the history dude. appreciate :)
For people saying they changed the lyrics... They didn't. The beach boys did. This song predates beach boys by decades. This is truer to the original.
@yamahonkawazuki It's originally a traditional folk song called 'Histe Up the John B. Sail' popular in the 20's.

WHY WAS THIS TAKEN OFF ITUNES?!!
They must have stole it from Beach Boys illegally
We come on the Sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up
I want to go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the Cap'n's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone, yeah yeah
Well I feel so broke up, I want to go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
I feel so broke up I want to go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home
This is the worst trip I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the main sail sets
Call for the Captain ashore
Let me go home, let me go home
I want to go home, let me go home
Why don't you let me go home
I love the banjo here...why do they say i feel so break up
i wish RK would cover every song ever written
Great harmonizing .... and great remake of this beach Boys classic
@parakaters I don't know how I missed these guys LOL! They're excellent!
Like it, 'nuff said.
this is
Interesting. Thanks.
good job gentlemen you nailed it
well done guys.. i liked it:)
That was actually really good for a cover I'm not gonna lie I wasn't expecting this.
gosh, love matt t.'s voice
pure musical art
Man John Warne can sing. If this is all that was on the bonus DVD, it would make it worth it. Fortunately, there's 5 other songs on it :D .
This is the best cover they've ever played.
THE BEST VErSION Of ALL tiME,!!
I love this song, be it Relient K's cover or The Beach Boys' cover. And I was wondering about the whole "I feel so break-up" thing until I read these text comments lol.
I shall further research for the sake of my own amusement.
I'm not a big fan of Relient K, but this is almost as good as the original. Bravo RK.
this makes me lol. ^^
They don't use autotune they are all just superb singers they blend incredibly well together!
Very nice guys!
@thecleaze hell yeah this is an awesome cover. they nail the harmonies on point.
i love the harmonization :P
welllllll doneeee!
best beach boys cover i've ever seen. even though the beach boys version was also a cover....
