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.

{Intro}

{Verse 1}
Found someone who can comfort me
But there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane
But I just want you to know

{Verse 2}
She's the one makes me feel so good
When everything is against me
Picks me up when I'm feeling down
So I've got something to show

{Chorus}
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages

{Verse 3}
Often lost and forgotten
The vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking I'm working too hard
But I've got something to show

{Chorus}
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages

{Instrumental Bridge}

{Chorus}
Staring at empty pages
Centered 'round the same old plot
Staring at empty pages
Flowing along in the ages

{Verse 4}
Often lost and forgotten
The vagueness and the mud
I've been thinking I'm working too hard
But I've got something to show

{Outro}
You know
Found someone who can comfort me
But there are always exceptions
And she's good at appearing sane
But I just want you to know

British psychedelic pop/rock band Traffic found success in both the UK and the US, captivating listeners with a broad array of genre-bending instrumentation.

Traffic was formed in 1967 when Steve Winwood parted ways with the Spencer Davis Group to join drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and woodwind and keys player Chris Wood in their exploration of psychedelia and the tougher variations of late-sixties rock.
