  • says "something" instead of "summat" but says "owt" >_<

  • si tocan esa cancion con el requinto?. si la tocan con el requinto alguien me aria el fabor de pasarme los acordes porfa

  • Why does he sound French?

  • I must say I hated this version when I first heard it but it really grew on me. I still prefer the AM version but this is almost just as appealing to me.

  • ugh arctic monkeys are 100000x better than the kooks but idk this version is just SO PERFECT

  • This version is way better !!

  • witch song at 0:50 in Paris ??

  • why screaming, Luke? WHY? Alex sings it so calm and quiet, then you go and scream the entire song... I can't understand.

  • jajaj se escucha algo desafinado cuando alsa la bos pero esta chida la cancion, ese cambio se oye chido

  • @MuriloPepler have you ever heard of interpretation??

  • @emia02 yeeeeeeap, but sometimes too much "intepretation" ruin songs up. that's an example. I really like the kooks (not as much as I like arctic monkeys, but they're great), but this song is just screwed.

  • Am I the only one who likes this?

  • Haha, it's a bit funny, I'm French, and I know Alex's got an accent but even if I can hear that there's something different in his voice, I cannot hear any accent :D

  • pure shite. simple as

  • I'm pretty sure alex turner would not be too amused about this cover.

  • i love the kooks and AM.luke character of voice doesnt match with this song.but its still good. :)

  • I think, that it is good version. I like it. It is not like original, it is different, but interesting and artistic.

  • Comment removed

  • Lukes a fucking cunt, how dare he do this the floppy haired twat.

  • I actually love both versions. What Luke did with this is brilliant full stop... BUT! Arctic Monkeys version is better than this...why?...because this is ALEX FUCKING TURNER of ARCTIC FUCKING MONKEYS we're talking about (no homo) . haha, still love this though.

  • This song means nothing without Alex's accent. 

  • Whithout the Sheffield accent this song means nothing.

  • @AmelieBurgess the thing is, arctic monkeys are allowed to be that fond of themselves with the success they have (headlined Glastonbury and also major festivals around the world, debut single got to number 1, all four albums have reached number 1), the kooks are just a shitty little indie who arse rape radio 1.

  • good...does anybody have the chords????

  • @liverbirdgal luke tried to apologise then alex rejected it... lol I prefer the kooks the arctic monkeys are too fond of themselves.

  • He doesn't have THAT accent

  • I love <3....The kooks much better than artic monkeys

  • @Ladydiana826 No way!!! The Arctic Monkeys rules... kooks are good.. but this song in particular sound much better when Alex turner sings...

  • good but arctic monkeys are betters

  • nice song**** she will always be waiting....

  • I absolutely love The Kooks. But Arctic Monkeys are my favourite band and even if The Kooks come as a close second, they shouldn't cover each others songs. The two bands are completely different, and even if it would be brilliant if they COULD patch things up that's a personal matter between the two bands and shouldn't be meddled in by us on Youtube. This is a beautiful song by Arctic Monkeys, and in my opinion it hasn't been ruined by The Kooks. But they really shouldn't be covering each other

  • oh you need a sheffield accent to sing this right.

  • Love it.

  • i love Arctic Monkeys and this version of the song is pretty good in my opinion

  • Arctic monkeys version is way better

  • i love both versions and both bands..BUT arctic monkeys are better. FACT :)

  • both versions are awesome!

  • mm so if kooks are better why are they covering songs of the arctic ? i mean can't they just write their own stuff ? just saying i like kooks but man arctic monkeys beat them any time :)

  • @ibanOwens Why not ? They like the song and coverd it.

  • the kooks. YES.

  • I PREFER ARCTIC MONKEYS <3 <3

  • The Kooks version is so much better!

  • this is shit, didn't Luke Pritchard kick Alex Turner in the face?

  • I this that Luke is a real musician and a great singer, Alex never studied music he is a nerd and during the live is bad.

  • @graceindie1992

    I respect your opinion, but how does Alex not studying music professionally make him inferior? The fact that Arctic Monkeys are self-taught is even more impressive. Actually Alex's dad is a music teacher, ironically. And, you probably saw a bad video, since I'm guessing you've never been to an actual AM concert. Some videos are not very good but most of them are pretty amazing.

  • @ChewyGranola100 Alex Turner is out of tune, expecially in live and he is a sucker big poppa ;) AM doesn't have originality in music style, while The Kooks used to play different genres of music. Finally suck my dick and save a lollipop!

  • @graceindie1992 Okay stop commenting please. You are just embarrassing yourself.

  • @utkucavalier you are a lilttle frocets

  • the kooks makes good covers, i love MGMT's 'Kids' but this one sounds a bit weird

  • Muy Bonita canncion de los Arctic & hermoso cover a mi gusta mucho la voz de Luke es linnda le da su toqe personal ala cancion <3

  • u guys hate the kooks and probly love some lady gaga bs...lol

  • @kelsssss88 No we hate The Kooks, and love Arctic Monkeys.

  • @chchchcherrybomb37 the kooks > arctic monkgays

  • @MrCheekyotter Oh how very witty 'monkgays'. Did you know that none of them are gay?

    And what would it matter if they were, homophobe...

    In MY opinion, The Kooks are awful, and AM are brilliant.

  • Hugh makes this song great.

    

  • what a terrible cover

  • the kooks aren't wanna be's they just appreciate a great song

  • kooks are such fucking wannabes... looks like topman threw up on them. they should be called cocks for ruining this song!

  • 2:12 lol

  • @gamesthtshldbeplayed not just an arguement but a fight. turner and pritchard argued at a show then turner tried oulling out some cable from an amp or somethin and pritchard tried to kick em.

    its definitely not over since the monkeys hate the kooks.

  • luke pritchard is a pretty good singer but not cuz he has a good voice as much as its that his voice is amazingly unique.

    alex obviously sings this song way better.

    you cant put a kooks touch on a monkeys song. it just doesnt work out.

    monkeys are straight foward and lyrically ahead and kooks are more about sweetening songs and sugar-coating them. thats why the have such a fan base.

    my 2 cents :)

  • Sucks that Kooks n' arctic monkeys aren't friends

  • fuck luke, they destroyed the song

  • Didn't they have an argument or something? I'm glad they did this as it could mean it's over?

  • like!! :D i miss the kooks and glad to see arctic monkeys back!

  • they destroyed the song

  • these guys are too southern to pull off this song

  • The Kooks and The Arctic Monkeys are my two favorite bands.

    At first it was just the kooks and i didn't even like the Arctic Monkeys but then i realized that Alex's lyric writing is just the sharks ankles (which means it amazing

    It's hard to pick between the two. Almost cruelly.

  • 2:12 =S!!

  • Why Kooks did it? If Luke Hate Alex. Personaly I think Luke is more artistic

  • As soon as he started singing, I just turned it off

    In the words of Johnny Borrell 'The Kooks are bent over waiting to be fucked in the ass by Radio 1'

  • shite voice

  • what a stone voice

  • THE KOOKS + ARCTIC MONKEYS = LIFE

  • i love the kooks but the arctic monkeys do this better ...

  • i love their covers :)

  • they ruined a beautiful song in my opinion :/

  • Comment removed

  • @tomgarbett77 that's 'cause you don't know shit about music

  • @FranciscoMartinsC well you can fock off cause that's my opinion, oh and people must agree with me as its in the top rated comments! If anything its you who knows shit about music.

  • @tomgarbett77 I FUCKING AGREE

  • Comment removed

  • the kooks can't sing this tbh but there epic nevertheless

  • i love this version

  • good video

  • This cover is good but nothing can replace the original Alex Turner version ;)

  • i like this cover very nice. 

  • i didn't  like this version

  • i dont really care that kook#1 kicked alex cus im pretty sure alex could beat his ass if he wanted to. lol

    

  • @thestrokes241 Haha well said

  • i like the original better, but i love themm both <3

  • luke kicked alex turner in the face haha, what an asshole

  • @UKTEA more like what a legend ??

  • @UKTEA more like what a legend ??

  • @lewisbow7 no way, alex turner is pure class, luke pritchard will live in his shadow, and that was his attempt at desperate publicity

  • i like the version of alex turner more. but its quite nice that they cover it because i think that shows that they like the actuall song.

  • kooks are awful. completely murdered this with tom's retarded voice. hurts my ears. eurgh.

  • @lvivboi don't care whether you like his voice or not, but his name's luke not tom, you're a fool

  • @solar648 Shows how much I care for this absolutely terrible band.

  • The kooks do great covers.

  • THIS IS DEATH!

  • 1:16 Okay dude, not so much, not so much

  • AM's version muuuch better...:)

  • wtf?? 2:12----2:13

    ???

  • luke does not "fail" when he does the high notes and he doesent "try to hard" he puts across the emotion of the song, tbh i couldnt care whether AM and the kooks hate eachother, it's about the music. I couldnt care if luke's an aroggant prick, he makes good music and so does alex.

  • This version by the Kooks is Way Better Than the one by AM in my opinion.

  • Comment removed

  • I love them both!

  • @runawaysstar i like your attitude :)

  • I love them both!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

  • Comment removed

  • Both Alex Turner and Luke Pritchard are absolutely great musicians, both bands are my favourite bands ever. Just enjoy the music, it was made to let us escape from our troubles! Btw i like this cover more than the monkeys version, just because luke's voice is more emotional and not so monotonous.

  • impressive! alex sings the song as if he reads the lyrics for the first time plus his voice got changed by technique

    and still he brings 100% more authenticity and feeling across than luke pritchard who sounds as if he is about to burst out laughing every second and completly fails at 2:13

    arctic monkeys=awesome , the kooks=awful

  • @liverbirdgal do you have any idea what your saying? luke pritchard actually a skilled musician and not a piece of shit like fucking alex turner. alex is the one who tried to sabotage the kooks' performance by unplugging luke's guitar. luke has tried to patch things up between the 2 bands numerous times, but every time alex turner has to be in ignorant twat and ignore him or do something stupid with his shitty band. the kooks are amazing, the arctics are just mediocre musicians.

  • @honorarykook patch things up between them? he has mentioned the incident numerous times, why cant he just lay it aside? "i kicked alex in the face blabla..."

    when was the last time the kookies came up with a new song?

    just for the record:

    2006 whatever people say i am that´s what i´m not

    2007 favourite worst nightmare

    2008 the age of the understatement

    2009 humbug

    2010 submarine soundtrack

    + plus several collaborations, terrific b-sides and amazing concerts

    now tell me about luke

  • @liverbirdgal flooored:D

  • @liverbirdgal what are you on about?

    first of all, yes the arctic monkeys are great no doubt about it, but how can you say "when was the last time the kookies came up with a new song?"

    inside in/inside out was better than any arctic monkeys album and konk was just as good in 08 + they're making a new album.. you cant just say oh here i can name all their albums because ok, A.M. first album, amazing, second ok, third is so dull its unreal. tbh the kooks will always be an AMAZING indie band

  • @LGNameDeleted it´s alright if u dunt like humbug, but to be correct it is just a turn they took to more psychedelic stuff, and i think it is more exciting than their 1st 2 albums together

    and about the kooks: from 2005 to 2007 they put their 1st record under the peoples noses, they released 6(!) singles out of it...SIX!!!

    now, that´s what i call lazy

    and to all the haters here who claim alex turner is a talentless twat: i´d like to remind you that it´s HIM who wrote this song

  • @liverbirdgal I agree with you about Humbug, a great album. But one thing about the Kooks, they're not the only band who have released 6 singles of an debut album. And I think it's the record company who decides how many sigles are released. But anyway, cheers, and have a great day!

  • @LGNameDeleted seen as though u described humbug as dull you clearly are a musical retard.

  • @gunners4life123 well no not really since its my opinion, i mean seriously theres nothing in the album which especially makes you happy or excited to listen to it, theyre all _dull_

    and you cant really make claims like that when u know fuck all about me, thanks

  • @LGNameDeleted music dosent always have to make you happy or excited to be good music if that was right nirvarna must have been the shittest band to ever touch this earth. and i dont think the tracks are nessacarily dull just not that fast paced.

  • @gunners4life123 in my opinion, i do think it should make you happy, to some degree, otherwise i cant see the benefits of it. Also dull and past paced is different. tbh i dont think nirvana is dull at all, and would be difficult to compare them to AM. obviously im not saying the monkeys are shit because they've made some great music which is both good to listen to and musical genius which imo is from their earlier albums, but as said before i prefer the kooks any day; but i respect your opinion.

  • @liverbirdgal te falto el disco de "matador"

  • Comment removed

  • @liverbirdgal That's right :)

  • the kooks and arctic monkeys are both amazing. It's too bad that they fight. you'd think they'd be friends but no they kick each other in the face and unplug eachothers amps. Both these bands have pretty much made me love music. if you love one you have to like the other

  • @RooftopManor actually, it is luke who slags the monkeys off every now and then, alex never said anything about that, which is why he is a legend! he isnt such a attention whore and complete tool like pritchard

  • @NahuelEncina it doesnt matter who is bigger! its WHO IS BETTER! and all i'm saying is that i think the kooks are way better, and their not arrogant pricks like alex turner, they're nice guys and good musicians.

  • @honorarykook alex turner an arrogant prick?! funny you! it´s luke pritchard who is an arrogant twat, i read 2 interviews of him and it was unbelievable what a dickhead he is...

    today it is difficult to find such a humble, down to earth celebrity like alex turner

    luke said he didnt want to jam with him, seriously i know who i´d rather like to jam with, luke pritchard or josh homme lmao

  • @NahuelEncina your cool, swearing over youtube....

  • overkill! its arctic monkeys, not musical theatre

  • this one sounds like a Jamaican cover XD XD

    bad accent..

    much better arctic's one

  • Love it <3

  • the arctic monkeys are gay. kooks forever!

  • Comment removed

  • @honorarykook the arctic monkeys aren't gay, the original version is much better than that

  • @honorarykook you're gay :D

    both are perfect.

  • @mamut121192 actually...im straight. and the kooks are amazing, AM is not.

  • pessima!

  • Luke Pritchard rocks, Alex Turner too. I think they'd have sing this song together. It would have been perfect. THE KOOKS & ARCTIC MONKEYS RULES!

  • i prefer ARCTIC MONKEYS too

  • i like both bands, though i like am a bit more, and i like this, but i like am's version better

  • Oh God, what is he doing to my favorite song >:C he's killing it

  • @InnerChild548

    then dont listen to it.. probably the best thing to do right

  • @FatFlobbySnickerDick I have to listen to it at least once to make some form of judgement. What are you, an idiot?

  • @InnerChild548 so.. then dont listen to it any more.. i dont get how they can kill a song.. if you dont like it you can press the X button right.. or just listen to the original again.. i mean comon. and no im not actually

  • @FatFlobbySnickerDick I wasn't planning to listen it more than once. Did I ever say otherwise? It's not like I go to this video every day just to say how much I would prefer the Arctic Monkeys. In fact, you're the only person who gave half a shit about my comment. There was no need to respond in the first place. Way to spark conflict out of nothing.

  • @InnerChild548

    i didnt read your response because you seem a boring person to me.

  • LMAO 2:13. Voice crack

  • the kooks are better :))

  • yeah arctic monkeys

  • @honorarykook srry but why did he do a cover for him after he kicked him ..they get along ??

  • @ARMADREUS i dont know why luke decided to do this, maybe to make a well written song better

  • they are both awsome but there is only one arctic monkeys and they fucking rock the house down.

  • hahaha 2:11 hilarious. NO! I don't care about Luke's "unique voice", they raped this song.

  • Of curse the original version by Alex is the best but I really like this one also.

  • Hmmm.. I still like the Arctic Monkeys' version more.

    But still a good cover.

  • This is a great cover!

  • Nice try guys, but naha

  • You fucking idiots he's done it as a joke tryin to mock alex. Which hasnt worked coz the kooks dont even need to be compared to arctic monkeys. This luke character is a complete posh boy cunt who's took his time to learn the words to a song he might just secretly like and be jelous of.

  • It's horrible.

    It's not as good as their own songs.

    Their style works not with that song.

  • amo la original pero les quedo chida a the kooks ;)

  • ARCTIC MONKEYS FTW!

    The Kooks: you're doing it wrong.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • funny accent!

  • i thought this would be another murder. but it's actually pretty nice

  • yeahhh arctic monkeys are the best... but the kooks are awesome too!

    great cover!

  • fucking retarded.... kooks are such losers that they have to play arctic monkeys' songs...and they do it wrong, this version is a shit. fact!

    arctic monkeys rules!!

  • Oh you've got to be kidding me. I'm leaving France for I don't know how long and I'm leaving a girl. I never get like this, but my friend started playing/singing this and it was the first time I'd heard it and I thought he was just making fun of me because the lyrics were so close. Then you're gonna go use footage of the very city I'm in! LA HONTE

  • If I ever need a good laugh, I know where to come.

  • love em both, but they'll never be up with oasis, just won't happen

  • Is... He... Retarded?

    Sounds It.

    ARCTIC MONKEYS ROCK!
