Jonas Brothers covered "Year 3000" by Busted in 2006. To make their version more commercial and radio-friendly for their target young audience, some of the original lyrics were altered. Their version says that the Jonas Brothers' "7th album ... outsold Kelly Clarkson" instead of Michael Jackson and "Girls there with round hair like Star Wars float above the floor" instead of "triple-breasted women swim around town totally naked." Although the Jonas Brothers version was released in 2006 Read more on Last.fm.

[Verse 1]
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like corpse of every pregnant teen
The minutes are hours, the hours are days
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tongues
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs

[Chorus]
I whispered in her ear, "Fear me, dear, for I am Death"
I'll take your hope, your dreams, your love till there's nothing left
I whispered in her ear, "You better fear me, dear, for I am Death"
I'll take that shit you call a life in a single fucking breath

[Post-Chorus]
I'll take your hope, I'll take your fucking dreams
I'll take your love, I'll take everything, you fucking bitch

[Breakdown]
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes
I'll turn your promises into lies
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes
I'll turn your promises into lies

[Verse 2]
It's 3:18, mouth tastes like corpse of every pregnant teen
The hours are days, the days are years
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tongues
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs

[Bridge]
I hear the fear in your voice, but you shouldn't feel a thing
Your life's already worse than any pain that I could bring
That I could bring, that I could bring
I could make it December every day
But you're so blind, it may as well be May

[Pre-Chorus]
And I whispered in her ear, "You better fear me, dear, for this is Death"
And I whispered in her ear "Fear me, 'cause I am Death"
One more time

[Chorus]
I whispered in her ear "Fear me, dear, for I am Death"
I'll take everything you ever loved
I whispered in her ear "You better fear me, for I am Death"
For I am Death, for I am Death, bitch

Bring Me The Horizon are a British alternative rock band from Sheffield, Yorkshire—often stylised as simply “BMTH” or shortened to “Bring Me.” Formed in 2003, the group currently consists of lead vocalist Oliver “Oli” Sykes, lead guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The name of the band was taken from Captain Jack Sparrow’s line in the first Pirates of the Caribbean which he “Bring me that horizon.” Oli stated in an interview with Spin how the name connects with his vision of the

Right at the end of the film—it might even be the very last line—Johnny Depp says, “Bring me that horizon.” That was really inspiring. I was still living with my parents in Sheffield, England, when the movie came out [in 2003]. For me and the band, playing music was always wrapped up with the idea of touring and traveling and seeing the rest of England and the rest of the world. We never thought doing that was possible, but that’s what we wanted to do. So that quote sort of stands in for our feeling of wanting to see what the planet had to offer.
