Jumping the Shark- fun. 

Eminem and Nate have a mutual friend, that also produced the Headlights beat, that's how they got in touch and made the song. You can say it's an edit from this song. Also note that this song was inspired by John Lennon's song 'Mother', which has a similair beat.

OH MY GOD why did they cut this from the album?? It's amazing!

Nate's tender amazing voice adds so much emotion to Em's song. Admit that I just lost it when Nate's second chorus hit.What a combo!

I've listened to, and love both, but I still prefer this way more than headlights. It's a shame it was never recorded in a higher quality or sang much again, but to be honest I doubt it will ever be re-done as the original.

[Verse 1] Mom, I know I let you down And though you say these days are happy Why's the power off and I'm fucked up? And Mom, I know made dad proud Never say your son's a preacher When the boy can't fill his sleep Oh I said [Hook] x2 I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I started jumping the shark I want a new life [Verse 2] One as an adult So I'm coming home tonight No matter what the cost And if the plane goes down Or if the crew can't wake me up Just know that I'm alright Oh I was not afraid to die And even if there's songs to sing Or grandchildren you'll never meet It might not be that time No I was not afraid to die Cause I put more faith in TV shows Than I ever have some holy ghost You know you've played a part But after everything went dark I started I started...

Thank you so much for posting this... the only recording I've ever seen of this version

You can see my original video here... fun. live - Jumping The Shark (unreleased Aim & Ignite) - now used in Headlights with Eminem This was played at a show in 2010 in the UK where they played Aim & Ignite start to finish. It was originally intended to precede The Gambler, but similarly to Some Nights they wanted to keep it to a 10 track album.

Thanks for sharing

it's so weird my friend was playing the Eminem album the other day and i knew about headlights but i had never heard the whole thing, and at the bridge where Nate sings i literally screamed cos jumping the shark lyrics

forever the best

Love this song so underrated

OMG!!!!!! It's SOOOOOO beautiful!

I think it'll be amazing for them to cut the original and put it on a limited edition of one of their songs. I'd love to hear the full song.

This is an amazing song. It deserved full light. It also would’ve been great if Chance the Rapper sampled it during his Acid Rap days

I love Headlights, never knew this song was a thing until today. I only heard of it from a comment on the live What The Fuck performance.

Hahaha, yaaayyy!! I thought I was the only one... o-o

I didn't know that there's a Jumping the Shark song, I only know headlights. Ang dang this is so good but unreleased ☹️

So would I be correct if I said eminem kind of edited it a little and added his verses? They kind of shared it?

me too! c:

are you serious? this song has been out since at least 2009. headlights is not the main point here

I have! ;)

Omg, *-*

Has anyone else seen this besides me? Because the comment below is my other account..

This is it's own song. People need to stop saying 'I LOVE HEADLIGHTS' for real

LOL. Maybe.. ;D

Haha, yus. cx
