Definitely my preferred version of this song! I also think it's interesting how they changed the lyrics of "let's get drunk and DRIVE around" to "get drunk and RIDE around" haha... drinking and driving is not smart in any situation so that's smart on their part. Still though, this version is superior

Today this video has settled a 7 year old dispute between me and one of my friends from the Navy. I swore up and down that there was a version of this song that used to play on the radio and had a really awesome guitar riff on the final chorus. He told me I was crazy and that there was only one version of the song. I'll be sending him a link to this.

This was the first version I had heard. I remember hearing the album version years later and hearing "drive" replaced with "ride". I haven't been able to find this version since and started gaslighting myself into thinking they always said "ride."

Omg yes!!! This is the version I remember, especially the guitar in the outro! So much better than the one on the album

This is the first version, finally found it 🔥

[mrraves]

Damn, this is the version I've always had but couldn't find. I thought I brought it with me with The Mandela Effect.

God knows how long I've looked for this version...
I first heard the song in this version...

[Abdultidus]

love this version and all the memories it brings back to me of my teen years! its heart warming reading the comments and seeing how many other people have the same experience :)

[samvakarian]

Had no clue this version existed, its great! Always interesting to hear how songs evolve from demo -> album.

[soupisyummy]

this version has a extra low harmony and high harmony lol

[thiagobezerra]

in 2008, it was the first version I've listening before hear the official version. It's diferent but great.

[LaEsquinadelOcio]

[shademnasonline]

I prefer this one over the studio album version

[cristiansoto]

Thank you very much for this song! do you have more demo versions of Boys Like Girls? Thanks in advance. Cheers from Chile :)

New version sucks!

This brings back memories

[cptmacmillan]

Finally found this version's name! Though what's bothering me is what do you mean it's the "Demo Version"?

[beebfajeejy]

the instrumental is better in this version but the vocals are better in the final version

[idiotbeachproductions]

I could have sworn there are two versions. This is the version I first heard on the radio. I prefer the demo version.
