  • TÁ UMA MERDA...

  • I'm so glad I was there, It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen...

  • It's allright

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • I think this works out for them. Because this seems to me like a song that you can take and make it serious. just saying.

  • One of my favorite covers.

  • Interesting take on a classic heads original song!Very different

  • i like it. i like it when bands change it up a little when they cover a song.

  • they cover it whitout missing the escense of the original from "stop makin, sense." got 2 be out of theyre minds like fuckin, psycho killers.........

  • they cover it whitout missing the escense of the original from "stop makin, sense."

  • AWESOME COVER!!!I saw them do this acoustically in The Big Room at CD101 in Columbus,Ohio a few years back.IT WAS EPIC!!!!!!!!

  • What bothers me the most is that the audience doesn't seem to have a clue as to what the song is.

  • @StrongImaginationA unfortunately, in terms of energy and driven-ness, it doesn't come anywhere near the original. For a creative cover it's not creative enough.

  • @StrongImaginationA Suggest you get your ears cleaned out as you can clearly hear the crowd singing along.

  • @Yorkcityknight Honestly, I don't hear the crowd until the 'hey, hey, hey, hey' part. There's a bit of echoing on his voice though :)

  • Comment removed

  • @SlowChildren1000 That's an in-ear monitor. It's used mostly in large concerts so that the musicians can hear what they're playing.

  • i cant even state i am fan of editors honestly // / but simply a fucking EPIC cover of the talking heads // so much respect!!!

  • 3 12. Such enthusiasm!!

  • 2:27 is that a hearing aid?!

  • this is just such a good live song

  • Do you want a fucking great and epic cover, see this, its nothing else to see. Is perfect, and live is better. Great editors for ever and ever. Amen.

  • i saw them do this song for a group of about 20 people for 107.7 the END in seattle. it was really intimate and beautiful. better than this version

  • I would love to see if these d!cks on these youtube comments would go to these gigs and boo the band. It's a COVER, it's supposed to be different and NOT an exact replica of the original!

  • i love this . excellent

  • his mouth is toooo close to the microphone ....badass cover

  • cchida cancion

  • no offense taken, not a bad cover but YOU telling ME or ANYONE that this guys voice is better than david byrnes is ridiculous. that's like yer OPINION man. the original was BRILLIANT give it a listen. pretty good version here, great songs=great covers. have fun today everybody!

  • What a cover! i love it.

  • the crowd response is epic

  • I am a huge huge fan of covers. i love to hear a great songs done different ways by different bands.

  • pinkpop LANDGRAAF .. kippevel!!! :P

  • Guys im not being funny, but youve gotta like this version better than the talking heads one, toms voice just makes the song, respect to the talking heads though it was an awesomely written song, this cover is just awesome

  • and where not little children and we know what we want.4 8 15 16 23 42.see you in the next life brother.Great cover great band ,they can tell you what to do and they'll make a fool of you but who really gives a fuck its summer England are in the World cup finals and the beer is ice cold,i need no more.

  • the song was given a new dimension with editors, i like it

  • Love it!

  • I really like this version

  • The end was great. Found 4:38 a bit hilarious.

  • excellente reprise !!!!!

  • Love his voice :)

  • beautiful sheer perfection!

  • Talking Heads are from NYC, so just don't let it slip out that tiny detail...and they've covered "Orange Crush" form R.E.M too

  • oh yes, saw them live and it is breathtaking!

  • wow... several of the people in the crowd looked stoned out of their minds...

  • Wicked - this rocks! One of the best covers I heard for a long while.

  • cool song....good performance :)

  • i'm loving this...

  • Comment removed

  • They are herse of Joy Division, New Order, Talking Heads and all the best of the British music. And this is beautiful in this artificial, "american" World.

    They really moved me. They know theirs roots

  • editors do not sound like joy division.why because they do dark rock pop songs too,so what.how many bands have used synths, guitars, drums and a bass.umm,1 or 2!.editors have a much crisper sound.i have both joy division albums and 3 editors.people are in love with the mythology around ian curtis(me included)curtis and smith both have great dark voices,i just wish i could have heard ian's voice a little clearer.this comparison is cliched populism.

  • talking heads are british? byrne was born in Dumbarton, Scotland. Weymouth was born in california, Harrison in wisconsin..................lol

  • Yeah Talking Heads was a really British band... ;)

  • F***in joy division comparisons are doin my head in!!!!! Editors, best band on the planet!!!!

  • Theyy Dont rip of joy division... joy division are the greatest and will never be beaten, is it to wrong for bands to try? Editors are by far the best band modern day

  • WHAT A VOICE!

  • lamewawd!!!!

  • I didn't expect them to do a slower version of the song. I don't think I like this version :( Still cool they covered a Talking Heads song.

  • what a unique song to cover! one of the last songs I pictured Editors to do but that was great! boy would i love to go to a PinkPop festival, always such great lineups...

  • awful AMAZING voice. ;P

  • amazing, they could cover twinkle twinkle and it would be class! We're on a road to paradise here we go! :) original is good but this takes song to new level

  • No, awful ears you have.

  • Fair enough, I suppose you are all fans

  • YEAH!

  • lame

  • This is one of the best songs ever, and also one of the funniest ever. I think making a good cover of it is nearly impossible, because the original just got every bit perfect. But at least they tried.

    Editors is a fantastic band, but the reason I love them is their own songs.

  • Brilliant cover!!! xx

  • It's a great cover !

  • wtf?

  • i hate some stupid comments too, without reasons and facts.

  • Fantastyczne, zawsze mi się kojarzy z Reality Bites (polski tytuł Orbitowanie bez cukru)

  • greeeeeeaaaaaat!!!! this summer im gonna see editors and david byrne in greece! best summer ever(acdc too)

  • why does he have to sound so angry ?? T ^ T it doesn't get any good until 4:20

  • What's the deal with all the hating on this cover? I'm a huge fan of the talking heads, and you can't beat david byrne, but this is a REALLY good cover, minimalist and very different from the original.

  • you've said it my friend!

  • @busterzzzzz Totally agree!! I am big Talking Heads fan! I thought this was done very well too!

  • @busterzzzzz Absolutely, a excellent cover, a little less comical than the Talking Heads Version.

  • @busterzzzzz It's a great song by a great GREAT band, and I'm also a huge Editors fan, but the problem that I have with it is that they've totally sucked all the fun out of what's supposed to be a ridiculously overblown, joyous song. It's normal for Editors - their music is pretty fucking downbeat, but I feel their taking the performance of this song a bit too seriously. That's all.

  • @gabe25591 its whatever someone wants it to be. now i have two really awesome and really different takes on it.

  • @gabe25591 I think that's what a good cover should do (not suck the fun out of a song), it should show a new take on a song. I think this cover does that, you can't deny it's very different from the original

  • @busterzzzzz Agreed, wtf is the point of making a copy of the always better original? Unless it's a Dylan song.. Then all covers are better than the original..

  • best cover of this song... PERIOD! and it is live! Amazing!

  • I find his voice boring, but I commend his choice of song

    I've met his wife! She's very nice.

  • Fantastic voice; so expressive, wonderful arrangement ...

  • This sucks. The Talking Heads did it right.

  • great cover

    loving ed's little dance at 3:34

  • you're an idiot. too :P

  • i love this song.. me and my son sing it all the time together. These guy s are better than me and my son by a long shot.. so i gotta love it.. I favorited it.. I got great ears for talent.. and i aint been drinking. I m not drunk you shilly sit.

  • you're an idiot.

  • If I could I would favorite this all over again!!!

  • loved it

  • great cover!!

  • Great cover from a great band.

    Wnet to see them live twice last year

  • great cover!!

  • I love this song, but I think people here are speaking just bad about the 'youth of today'. Saying they need some sense for good music and therefore need to listen to either Talking Heads, or their lyrics. Being a part of 'the youth of today' I think this is generalizing. I knew this song before I heard of any cover. Some 'wise' man ever said (Excuse me, I forgot his name) "Children like to listen to bad music, the music their parents listened in their childhood is good music". Amen..?

  • Good point.

    But il still have an Lp of munich When im 30-40 when i have kids.

    I will never grow out of Editors Love this band :]

  • i knew and loved this song b4 now too, i like most of what my parents listen to

  • Their covers are always Great!

  • excellent.

  • Excellent cover by and excellent band of an excellent song.

  • wooo yeah! great cover

  • well you're not the first one

    like the cover but like their own songs more..

  • is it just me or is his voice kinda like ian curtis.this might just be me...but both are incredible.listen to open your arms by editors...the double of ian curtis.

  • wow i'm with you on that one dude..hes not quite as eccentric as mister curtis,but you can def hear similarities.their own tunes have the same style too

  • God, I love that voice. Editoros rule:)

  • great song by a great band covered by an amazing band.

  • class

  • Awesome.

  • NICE COVER;./

  • Great Cover, Editors Are Amazing !

  • could be a tiny weenie bit faster...but i love this alot =]

  • Great cover!!! It sounds better than the original.

  • Rickenbacker! and what appears to be a sennheiser 845...great song, and a good cover.

  • fuck off mitch and get a life, this is a mint cover of talking heads.

  • covering a song is not about copying a style ..

  • you cant compare it to talking heads because they arnt talking heads, editors have a completely diff sound to them.

    still got to love this version:D

  • oh, and he doesnt say Leicester City lol, he says 'there's a city'

    haha

  • great version

    .

    I was there somewhere. Not the best Editors concert I've seen.

    But this version was just fucking amazing.

  • genial!

  • at 4:15 he confesses to be a Leicester fan

  • how?

  • at 4:15 it sounds like he says "Leicester City in my mind"

  • lol

    it dus as well!

  • Eddie Vedder?

  • G r e a t Talking Heads version!

  • omg, i love the song and he is so good-looking and probably smart(long eyebrows)and WHAT A VOICE.

  • finding it difficult to type. Talking Heads are one of my fave bands, if this lad was my son, I would be so proud. David Byrne Fan, Salford. Now proper Editors fan.

  • His voice is beautiful !

  • grazie............

  • editors <3

  • I like the editors and think the covers good ! Talking Heads song and always will be.

    Great hearing the song as different!!

  • Great cover of a great song.

    Probably the best cover of this song yet!

  • brilliant...

  • Editors should put this on a CD. I'd bloody well buy it just for this song. It kicks so much ass!!!

  • its good, but soundalike-ish

  • Editors have created there own sound; it's like U2 and there typiccal sound, I hope, that in 20 years, when my children hear this band, they will say, damn that's good, and I can say "yeah it's from myu youth"

  • Tom's voice fits with the song nicely.

    and it's great that the younger crowd hears some talking heads

  • of montreal likes to mix a little "and she was" into their cover of fiery furnaces' "tropical iceland"

  • awsome!! david burn would like this one
