@lukejo You're an Idiot! Athlete are not a boyband they're a rock band. In fact a Mercury Music Prize Nominated Band with far more talent than any pop singer like La Roux.
@danfilson If La Roux is so crap then why the hell is your beloved band covering them then, huh? I had no right calling it shite, but when people say a band has made a song 'theirs' I get hacked off. La Roux wrote the farking song NOT Athlete. I can think of 100 other bands I would rather listen to than these guys, but thats my opinion, you're entitled to yours and thats that. Those Credentials mean nothing to me. My favourite band tours the world selling out stadiums.
@lukejo learn to read sunshine...I didn't say La Roux was crap neither is this song of hers. I merely highlighted your ignorance to call Athlete a boyband and stated that they were far more talented than the talented and great La Roux.
As far as selling out stadiums as credentials for a good band?!?....Justin Bieber, Jedward, Westlife all sell out stadiums doesn't make them talented
@danfilson "As far as selling out stadiums as credentials for a good band?!?....Justin Bieber, Jedward, Westlife all sell out stadiums doesn't make them talented"
And neither does a Mercury award. Music is about taste, not talent, 'sunshine'.
Lets stop this please, I don't want to have one of those pointless, elongated arguments that fill up most Youtube pages.
I've just discovered this version today... always loved the song but hate La Roux's whiny voice! Thanks Athlete, for doing to this song what Biffy Clyro did for Rihanna's 'Umbrella' :o)
@BufonStrocki the song was really good in the original; i love both versions. don't call music shit because you dont like the style, elly jackson has a lot of talent, and is by no means shit.
A very interesting cover. Maybe not the best version of the song, but it was nice to hear the exploration of where else the song can go by talented musicians. Bravo.
This Is pure shite. @rockerxgurl STFU. This is a shameless boyband ruining a classic.

them doing a cover of this song isn't saying that they think they can do it better, it's more of paying tribute.
artists cover songs that they are inspired by, if anything it's a compliment.
