Instrumental version out on Spotify: open.spotify.com/track/5KNROZXDwGTHKNB0ffRQJi?si=c025d9bc455740fa

original: funeral 80's version: wedding

People keep saying this has wedding vibes to it but I can’t help but picture a shitty awkward school dance for some reason

Imagine playing this on a school event and all the emo kids dont know how to react, cause its wrong, but so right

My therapist: tall frank isn’t real he can’t hurt you. Tall frank:

My breakfast club romance

I like how all the faces were edited into someones body besides Ray Toro's

Mikey looks like he's just knocked on your door to let you know that's he's legally obliged to inform you that he's moved into the neighbourhood.

I lost my shit with the sax solo: now it's a truly 80s song

**cries while dancing**

Man I miss these guys. I remember seeing them open up for REO Speedwagon in 82. Still can’t believe Gerard died in that plane crash. What a legend. Rip Gerard Way 1961-1994

I never imagined the phrase, "wow, that saxophone really adds a lot to this MCR song," being in my life but here we are

the fact that MCR was photoshopped onto Huey Lewis and the News keeps me up at night.

This is literally Gerard Ways Hesitant Alien era in one song

I like how they didn’t need to edit Ray Toro

All jokes aside this is actually a pretty impressive remix. How did you manage to take a 2000’s alternative rock song and turn it into a dreamy 80’s pop ballad?

Me: mom, can we get mcr? Mom: no, we have mcr at home Mcr at home:

"You can't play emo songs in your wedding!" Me:

Gerard sounds way too overdramatic in this and it's hilarious thinking about them performing this at some crappy Midwestern high school prom.

gerard and ray: look somewhat normal mikey frank and bob: shot the sex offender shuffle at 7, had the photo shoot at 8

Ahhhh, the memories of senior prom, 1984. I was just a nerdy, braced face 17 year old girl. No sense in style, looking ridiculous in my hot pink dress with hair so teased, I swear it touched the ceiling. Obviously, no one wanted to even be caught dead dancing with me, but then came Fred. He was a bit like me, wearing a suit too big for him and equally big glasses. He asked me if I'd like to dance, which immediately stopped whatever little popularity he had. But he didn't care, we were graduating in a month anyway. It was so magical, him and I slow dancing to this song. And even more magical when Fred confessed that he had a crush on my since Sophomore year, when we were in the Math Club together. And then we kissed, right in front of everyone on the dance floor!! Ahhhh....how the days have passed. We were married in 1986, when we were both just 19 year olds in college. Now, we've been married for 34 years, with 3 beautiful kids and 5 gorgeous grandkids.

Therapist: My chemical romance sax solos don't exist, they can't hurt you. This cover:

Me: This can’t get any better Song: Sax solo

I’m just imagining playing this on Walmart speakers at 2am and making some drunk emo shopping for snacks think he is losing his mind

Couldnt believe a sax solo would be perfect for a MCR song. I'm in awe

Man, I still can't believe these guys broke up 30 years ago. I remember seeing them live back in '84. My boyfriend had surprised me with tickets, we had our first kiss at that concert. A month later, and this was our prom song, it was magical, and when the night was over I sat with him in his car, resting my head on his shoulder. I miss you Matt. If you see this, come and visit. I'm right where you left me, don't be a stranger.

Imagine crying under the disco ball to this

Therapist: 80's Gerard Way isn't real, he can't hurt you. 80's Gerard Way:

My first thought when the music hit was that just because it's the 80s doesn't mean it has to sound like this, it can still sound like rock, but then the singing started and I just covered my face and went "fuck, it fits"

Play this at my wedding. Play the original at my funeral.

When you’re Emo, but you live in an era before that’s even a thing yet.

It would be cool if someone made a version that sounded like an 80’s alternative/goth song like bauhaus or depeche mode

Finally an actual "80s Version" that is not just music mashed with neo wave stuff

I just imagine someone's gonna try and put this in Stranger Things season 4

U found this in Area 51 didn't you?

The fact that everyone looks different in the edited photo and Ray Toro wasn't changed at all is killing me hahahahhaaha

"YO GERARD ITS YOUR CUZ, JIMMY WAY. YOU KNOW THAT NEW SOUND YOU BEEN LOOKIN FOR?"

I’ll play this at my wedding And the original will be played at my funeral just to complete the cycle.

When you're depressed but in fashion.

Words can't describe how perfect yet cursed this is. The sax solo takes this above a 10/10 easily

Original : for who passed away 80's : for happy couple

When MCR get back together and only play weddings

"Let's all wear glasses and not tell Ray"

crap...I'm listening to this more than the original.

this is unironically incredible

Therapist: 80s MCR doesn't exist. They can't hurt you. 80s MCR:

This sounds like something that would play in an abandoned mall

I remember how my mother hated me for listening to them, she said the lyrics were satanic and it will lead me to growing up to a good for nothing delinquent. Well she's wrong! This tune made it as one of the classics of my generation. So glad to be able to hear this song in great quality. Thank you!!!

It's sad how drugs and alcohol can take your idols away from you. I will always remember dancing to this tune back in the 80s with my ex wife and how this song represents a whole stage of my life. RIP Gerard way, though you're dead and gone believe me your memory will carry on.

me: *was born in 2005* also me: damn this rlly takes me back 😔👊

I like how everyone's face is extremely photoshopped but then there's just Ray

This is.. one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard

I still can't get over the fact that Frank was the tallest one back in the '80s

"I don't love you" please!!! 80's version

I remember listening to this at my prom in 82 with my girlfriend Stella, the good old days am I right?

No one: Not a soul: Not even an ant: My recommendations: here’s your favorite band, but 80s. This will please you

They need a music video for this ASAP, like them performing at an 80s prom.

this gives me nostalgia for an era I didn't exist in

I believed this cover is resurrecting mcr after 6 years

Son: Dad why's my sister's name Rose? Dad: Because your mom loves Roses Son: Ok thanks dad Dad: No Problem, My Chemical Romance - Helena (80s Remix)

i love how ray is unedited in the thumbnail

nobody: youtube algorithm: *puts this in everyone’s recommended 2 weeks after My Chemical Romance announces their reunion*

The worst thing about these 80s remixes is that I can't save them to my spotify playlists

I FREAKING LOVE THIS VERSION IT’S SO GOOOOD

oh my ... i can’t unhear this version anymore!

Weird MCR is kinda everywhere lately and they broke up like 6 years ago. Probably getting back together. Seems like a sign. Edit: It might be happening! We have a show coming up!

I love how everybody else is changed except Ray😂☠

What the hell. My tears fell for a fake nostalgic memory while listening to this.

The 80s Vibe is the best in everything.

...and now a very special episode of My Chemical Romance

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THE SAXOPHONE SOLO OMFG

The double voice effect from the actual song fits so good with this genre. It reminds me somehow to More than words or Carrie

Ah man, I remember the days of my youth. I remember falling in love with my wife for the first time at homecoming ‘84 to this song. We married in ‘90 and this song was our first dance. So glad it was finally remastered and put on good ol’ KZfaq, great for sharing with our 89 foster hamsters.

The edited Mikey looks like he can't be within 500 feet of a school zone

I remember my chemical romance, the sweet slow jams, you couldn't escape it in the 80s it's too bad they broke up march 22 1993

this is such a good song! someone should make it sound punk rock from like the early 2000s. i bet it'll sound good

This song takes me back to my youth growing up in the 80s. Back then, Tronicbox was pumping out banger after banger and this song reminded of how much we need him today. This was in 1985 btw.

I love the fact that Frank is the tallest one on the picture

The sax solo is what really makes it 80s

HOW IS THIS 4 YEARS OLD??? I remember when this came out and a rock magazine had a whole section talking about it. :)

I love the fact that Ray didn't need an editing on his hair

Me trying to convince people I don’t listen to “emo” music

Something about this seems so wrong, yet feels familiar and comfortable.

I'm literally going to walk down the aisle to this.

this is the best 80s remix i’ve ever heard tbh it really sounds legit

Its 1987, Brooke is slow dancing with Chad at the school prom, but during the sax solo she realises she actually in love with Billy, her best friend (who we've seen loves her too through the whole film) she searches the school for him and she finds Billy at the entrance to the school, where the first scene was were Brooke was telling Billy she has no one to go to the dance with, and Billy looks at her with his willing eyes for her to love him like he loves her, knowing she will never. So she finds Billy, *the sax solo still going* and then confesses her love for him and they run too eachother and kiss just as the sax solo and bridge end, the last minute of the song is them walking down an empty road with no where to go, they don't need the dance, all they need is eachother. They carry on waking into the distance and Directed by John Hughes appears at the bottom of the screen scrolling up to the top.

Jesus how did those harmonies fit so well. Time to lock myself in the analysis dungeon again...

If this doesn't play on my funeral, I'm not going.

I've been binging these old school remixes for the last few hours and I gotta say, they're pretty great. I love how the different instrumentals put a whole different mood to the song.

I just love that Ray is the only one NOT edited XD

POV : Your at a school dance and come out the bathroom crying

Kids nowadays know nothing about old school, this is a classic!

Who's watching this in 1981?

me halfway through: all this needs is a sax solo sax solo: me: :o

This gave me chills

And it’s still a banger

This is simultaneously cursed and blessed. My poor emo brain is confused.

When you're picking up anti-depressants from the pharmacy

Love this version so much!!

I FREAKING LOVE THIS, THANKS PAL.
