Kids by MGMT bluegrass cover by Dr Fox's Old Timey String Band

[terraLiquidus]

Great job!

[MrSchiggitySchwa]

Fawwwkkk... I can't stop listening to this cover. Great job guys.

[JuanBlancoFolk]

I was thinking about to do a cover of this song but folk version but I don't think mine would be as good as this one !

[chicchirichiwg]

Love this!

[intheangeles]

damn this sets such an emotional vibe

[XxGamerGuyXx9000]

love the accustics or what ever that was with the fiddle and banjo :]

[Hayashigame]

maybe........

take some singing classes?

[TheSarlacPitt]

Id like to hear more bluegrass renditions of popular songs old and new please.

[jotoonkid]

I don't know how this was recorded, but is there a copy of this that is just the instruments? I like it with the lyrics, they're very powerful, but I think the instrumental version has it's own merits too.

[jenhbrown]

I'm trying to figure out how to send a message so I can have you email it to me. I love this so much. I'm considering walking down the aisle to this.

[grabbingpeelz]

I would love to have the mp3 of this, please! It's amazing.

[littlegoatboy]

what a wonderful cover; Kids just works so well as a bluegrass tune. Wish I was listening to this in a field with a jug of cider...

[Gleebo]

Absolutely amazing. So beautiful and sweet. Great stuff!

[welldonejackarse]

lovelovelovelovelovelove this.

[murphdog60]

sorry for the repeats, not used to computers...

[murphdog60]

Hello Dr. Fox's, I met one of your members on a trip to Ireland a little more than a month ago in an ancient church that you were repairing. All i have to say is that it was great to meet you and thanks a bunch for the tour. P.S. The music is unbeatable.

[InDubWeStep]

greatest cover ever heard, especially the violin parts. just stepped by by an accident, but i love it.

[TheOasch]

omg, so beautiful!

do you have the banjo tabs??

[aoifalavery88]

Fionn I love this song!!! Whenever I miss you guys I listen to it. Oh and UPLOAD MORE SONGS BY YOU GUYS!!!!! maybe like white winter hymnal, or hold on.

[danielgasiorowski]

WOW!!!!

[WiburTN]

Really nice take on the song. I think there are some aspects of the song that simply aren't going to transfer without effects. But, that is the nature of MGMT's music. You guys did a really great cover. Maybe next time lower the vocals a bit, don't let 'em over power the music. Over all really great recording, top notch!

[ricehappy]

this is wonderful!

[teak010]

Love it!

[nman06]

[stilox000]

[shanenorberg]

class

[xstarxsparklesx]

Main* not mail lol. I'm too messed up to type

[xstarxsparklesx]

I don't think there's any way such a perfect song could be messed up by a cover as long as they stick to the mail melody that MGMT so Godfully blessed it with. Adam and Ben are Gods. Gods of the "Trip."

[skittylover6157]

That was awesome! I love it x

[chriscotimms]

Great song-can you hook me up an mp3 for a small local radio show i'm doin next week in dublin, my email's chriscotimms {at} hotmail {dot} com

[jns2222]

AMAZING COVER!

It sounds so smooth ^^

[ImSedated228]

kickass.

[noisebed420]

now that's a good cover!

[tonydelite]

I like this cover, but I think the two vocal tracks together do not work well. Individually I don't hear anything wrong with them - they just do not mesh well.

[patrick5335]

Well actually - I found this to be rather splendid

[paddypadman2]

Stumbled.!

Much rather this version..

Strangely enough they are from near me... :S

[Stampy398]

This is deeply cool.

[djcoolm]

Easily the BEST cover of "Kids" I've ever heard. So original and sweet.

[OneKneeWonder]

SHIT!! FUCK!!! I play violin and a me and a friend who plays guitar just added a cover of this song on youtube about 30 minutes ago. we thought we were being original but you guys completely dominate ours. Anyway it's awesome and i like it alot. If you want to hear a similar but shittier version listen to ours. Great Job. I'm jealouse

[jacklemons]

yours is really really good, better sound quality, but i think you need something more special on the guitar, and the solo was good but you need a solo as good as dr foxes

[alanna481]

this is so cool! i want to learn it on violin now! the most original cover i've heard

[iCipher]

Stumbled on this by accident, glad I did. Interesting cover, great job.

[chiso867]

This is great!

Such an interesting feel to the song!

5/5

[anogramatic]

[StephenMario]

[fionnlavery]

[Casiowerk]

Too class

[IANoooooooooooooooo]

saw these guys play last night. AWESOME. I was well impressed, des was doing his best on the guitar but young corbett stole the show with his version of duelling banjos. Hes the man to watch, great potential, lovely fella aswell. Had about ten bitches in watching him aswell...i`ll have to get onto older corbett tell him to keep his feet on the ground. Collect.

[gamisetare]

This is a good version, I've listened to it quiet a few times the last few days

[eArtrash]

this would sound great in the live lounge (bbc radio1 for you yanks)

[domdom11111111]

Very nice lads... Cheerin me up on this snowy day!!!!:P

[Kerrygirl1989]

Unreal! The next or probley the first big thing to come out of keel!

[LINEAGETUBE]

the more you hear it the more you like it!!! and that pic is classss!!

[MCPADI]

sounds old timey alright :)

[HellsyeahNZ]

Mournful yet celebratory. Great Harmony.

[mccreed2]

Hi guys, I just wanted to say that you give me a reason to exist, I was near the edge then I heard this and now in the words of the immortal monkees, I'm a believer! Can we get an AMEN!!!!

[kellbag]

hahahah cool

[diarmuidsheehan]

Recently played on Cork's Red Fm!

[ColourfulMistake]

Oh gosh this is awesome!

[MJA89]

brilliant.

[vintageheartsxoxo]

i'm feeling it.

[jacklemons]

this is so... i dunno how to describe it! it's so unlikely, it actually sounds pretty good, but i would never of guessed someone would do a cover that sounded like this!

[iloveyellowducks]

wow

this is really cool!

seems like it was originally like this! :)

really cool!

[dipsaucerose]

hahahahahahahahaha!!!! thats hilarious!

[BrendanOC]

What key is this is in?

is the progression like

F#m-D-A-E?

[cormaclavery]

The key is A major and that is indeed the chord progression

[koncorde]

Great version.

[waywardwatchdog1]

nice

[pinkmonkey3]

sweet cover guys great idea

[diarmuidsheehan]

1000 views in 2 weeks? Not bad considering it's a group from Keel.

[pixieindisguise]

Woo Dr. Fox's kicks ass!!

This is actually beautiful :)

Oh Shiv by the way!!

[donross1]

pure class!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ptran001]

this cover is awesome just as good as the original i love you guys

[henyK]

Great cover, probs for it!

[jonzey6900]

this is quality

[DaddyWrongLegs]

This is rich, bro.

[queenofthemull]

I seriously cant get enough!!!!!

[paddywaddybooboo]

I think its shit....................shit hot!!!

[ilikecakesoido]

the song amazing grace states 'i once was lost, but now am found, was blind but now i see', a phrase as relevant in 1772 as it is now in 2008, when taken in the context of the aural experience that is this cover of the delectable mgmt song 'kids'. while few cover versions can be said to truly surpass the efforts of the version produced a song's author, it is safe to say that this version, in a similar vein to jeff buckley's take on cohen's hallelujah, will soon become the definitive article.

[squirehorse]

dr fox's old timey string band band changed my life.
