@DankennUK How can you say this cover is better than the original, lol so far from it. I like the kooks but please.

[DankennUK]

@hai2you2 For one, I didn't say it was better. Secondly, thats easy. As much as I love MGMT this is better. Everyone has different tastes get over it and move on.

[TheSolidJake]

His timing is BAD

[LewMeht]

@TheSolidJake they're doing it their own way.

[TheSolidJake]

@LewMeht Which just happens to be BAD!!!

[LewMeht]

@TheSolidJake you know what? don't watch it then.

[TheSolidJake]

@LewMeht I didnt i switched it off shortly after switching it on remembering to leave a comment in hope that some complete wanker would react. (thats you)

[LewMeht]

@TheSolidJake i think calling me a "complete wanker" is a bit over the top. you don't know me. calm down, mate. fucking hell.. some people.

[TheSolidJake]

@LewMeht Hey Guess What?

Nobody gives a shit :P

[LewMeht]

@TheSolidJake fuck off! :D

[TheSolidJake]

@LewMeht I think that smiley face is a bit over the top? God some people

[Maniaproz]

good stuff by the kooks, beyond excited for the new album!

[SunflowerBreeze]

dear god, deep.

[TheMFan92]

Anyone know where a tab of this is?

[danbran1989]

Too be honest, not a fan of The Kooks and this surprised me. Good to know talent occasionally makes it into the mainstream!

[WhatTheFuckFan]

not what i expected it was

[ligeryjoe]

not bad, but his voise is really not made for this song.

[HarpoonHere]

hi

[bongolese87]

AMAZING cover of 'the cave' by mumford and sons..

type 'the cave castlecomer' into your search bar.

their harmonies are UNREAL

[branston2k8]

Is it just me or at the start does the radio guy sound like Jack Black?

[amill710]

why the fuck do people argue on here? just enjoy the song. damn.

[Mattzarkovich]

Come on people, thumbs up to this great cover. Also, People who are interested into all this Indie/Alternative rock, check out Cage the Elephants cover of Kids, its really good too.

[Chreeq]

Fuck you all! This is genuine and brilliant!

[MrExcellent93]

The left guy is laughing because he is singing wrong things lol :D

[ichbinnureinmensch]

[kortebroekman]

↓ BANTERR

[TinyHungarian]

@readmymindhomey One out of two. Good enough. Let's elope.

[TinyHungarian]

@readmymindhomey As long as you don't want kids and don't believe in a god.

[billgirl007]

i don't even know why i write stuff like that on youtube, but i'd looove to get laid by the lead singer.

[hss321x]

I love this cover, Luke is amazing!

[hedgehoghaz]

He sounds out of tune, not gonna lie, even though I love the kooks.

[islappz]

i love the kooks, and the music is great

however, he doesn't particularly hit it with this song with the singing

but i love his other covers

[Lynnold]

i don't like the way he sings the song

[pattylinn1]

The singer sucks. I am being completely honest.

[nicholsjoshua15]

I understand you not liking this cover, I like it. If you want to hear the perfect cover of MGMT "Kids" look up Cage The Elephant "Kids."

[Lexiiedollx3]

omg they did a cover of a cover. i love the kooks AND mgmt. 

[ilyailo]

@Lexiiedollx3

who is the boss of the song? :D



[hai2you2]

@Lexiiedollx3 How is it a cover of a cover? MGMT wrote that song.

[Lexiiedollx3]

@hai2you2 nevermind ok i made a mistake lol

[hai2you2]

@Lexiiedollx3 No worries! I thought maybe there was a secret I did not know about! <3

[ledzepphead1]

@hai2you2 because thats the kooks singing? the kooks are doing a cover of an mgmt song....?

[jenny13fay]

@hai2you2 because some people sing it differently, like pause at different bits and say lyrics in a different way

[yoursweetestmistake7]

@hai2you2 Noo They didnt. Somee Band From The 80's or Something Wrote The Songg. Mgmt Just Remadee Itt. Goshh. Do Your Music Research.

[hai2you2]

@yoursweetestmistake7 According to wikipedia you are wrong. Look up Kids (MGMT song) it is not a cover sorry.

[srsfiter]

@yoursweetestmistake7

Too bad you are horribly wrong. Do your research moron.

[sitharhero]

@Lexiiedollx3 thts some inception shit rite there.

[danscholze87]

He couldn't quite get that high note on the chorus... very good version though

[Oh4werd]

check my remix to MGMT's Kids, this song is def. dope in its own right and i wanted to try and do somethin different with it. All feedback, negative positive appreciated

[DJlosme]

he is british and that isnt ok for the song.

[willianpaimel]

A essência que luke passa na sua voz cantor de verdade !!melhor q original do mgtm

[zoetjez]

My favorite song of MGMT and The Kooks my favorite band(: very good combination^^

[rockguru123]

I'm in love.

[TheBAallday]

tried to make his voice to broken

[mridrick]

THE KOOKS ARE AWESOME BUT HE SUNG THIS TERRIBLY.

[flirnk302]

Awesome!

[Haleywillams21]

Oh his voice is so amazing it gives me chills. :D

[Oh4werd]

check my remix to MGMT's Kids, this song is def. dope in its own right and i wanted to try and do somethin different with it. All feedback, negative positive appreciated

[LaLabutterfly]

*sigh* MGMT, can't fucking believe i missed their concert!!

[OhMySavy]

god I love this band. Infinitely better than MGMT.

[caaaaaaaaleeeeeeeeb]

he yells at the chorus, its annoying!

[89reasons4steeze]

Sounds like they didn't kno how the song went

[Sportymcdouglas]

disarm you with a smile, and cut you like you want me to

[drewdrwhite]

@Sportymcdouglas another great song by The Smashing Pumpkins!!!!!!!!11

[1guyb]

@LookAtMyP3n0rz No need to start name calling, i was just having a laugh knob head. Go fart in your mums mouth.

[hecknot14]

@1guyb ewwwD:

[claydawgg24]

Almost sounds like Disarm.

[PitBikeBen]

Absolutely killed a decent song.

[sdecker95]

@PitBikeBen WHAT THE FUCK. ARE YOU CRAZY? THEY MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb Not by me.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian hahah shit it worked.... on a more serious note, i don't care mate go fuck yourself. :-)

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb Your comment is just unoriginal. And for the record, I'm a girl. So if you're going to insult me at least have the decency to call me a cunt, a bitch, or what have you.

[momster777]

@TinyHungarian masochism... i like that in a bitch.

[TinyHungarian]

@momster777 Doms and subs, sadists and masochists. It's a fascinating subculture that I probably know way too much about.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian Well, I can still call a girl mate and a guy can still be a cunt, bitch or what have you. And i thought the comment was pretty original. BOOM!

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb Stupid names aside, I've seen the "Randomly get voted up" comment on at least 10 different videos. Not exactly what I'd call "original". I feel like your the type who also goes on music videos and posts annoying shit like "This is way better than Gaga" or "Shut up about Gaga just focus on the music, mate". I get it dude. The bandwagon is appealing. Just don't try and claim to be original, because that's far from the truth.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian How does making a comment about lady gaga relate to making a funny comment which may or may not backfire, like ''this comment will randomly get voted up?'' they aren't similiar at all. And for your information I don't jump on the bandwagon i just wanted to see if itwould work and it did, it's just a laugh. You know absolutley nothing about me. But i amnow 100% sure you are a crazy bitch. :)

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb It's not that hard to understand.The two comments are similar because they both lack originality. I'm not usually this bitchy, I just find repetitive comments to be annoying.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian but, then again the two comments are completely different because ones a joke and ones an opinion some people share.

I don't think anyone believes you.

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb "The two comments are completely different" The nature of the comments doesn't matter. What matters is that both are mindlessly copied from video to video, void of any personal insight.

[1guyb]

Of course the nature of the comments matter! Jokes are passed on and aren't always original, ever heard of a joke book? Has anyone ever sent a joke to your phone? Do you think they are always original?

My comment hear made me laugh and made other people laugh and that's why I posted it! Not to jump on some kind of youtube bandwagon. I'm putting this down to sexual frustration. It's been a while, hasn't it?

[1guyb]

@1guyb here*

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb The problem with that kind of joke is that it tends to wear thin quickly, because it's used/copied by so many people. It's akin to "The dislike bar is the size of Justin Bieber's penis!!!" or "The 416 people who dislike this were never kids", something of that asinine nature. Was it funny at first? Sure. Now it's overused to the point of being spam. You know there's some truth to my comment, hence the turn to baseless insults and insinuations (e.g. I can't get laid).

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian hey hey hey, slow down there missy, I hate justin beiber comments, dislike comments and all that shit too... the ''this comment will randomly get voted up'' one tickled me though, it can backfire or it can work,and cuts through all that cheesy ''thumbs up if...'' shit. There is no opinion or insult in it. It's just a laugh, a joke. I'm sorry if you have seen it in video's before, but not everyone has.

And it wasn't a baseless insult, i know it's been a long time ;-)

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb Winky faces? Roar. Don't patronize me.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian ooooh you look sexy when you're angry.

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb My, you're being awfully chummy, considering you referred to me as a "crazy bitch" earlier.

[1guyb]

@TinyHungarian well... you are a crazy bitch, but i like you. Chin up honey ;-)

[TinyHungarian]

@1guyb Chin up? I thought it was pretty obvious that I'm just one big ray of sunshine. The world is full of pink rainbows and rabbits and everyone actually shits money and everything is fucking amazing.

[CotymoG]

@TinyHungarian ill lay you ;) lol jk

[TinyHungarian]

@CotymoG What a charmer. I'm doing alright in that department thanks anyways.

[boobmonter64]

@1guyb i would have laughed so hard if it got rejected, but it didn't... so i liked (y)

[poseclop]

@1guyb eventually not that random...yet I had to vote it up

[williams4815]

@1guyb You thumb whore.

[Madichamp]

I LOVE Luke Pritchard's voice :) Especially when he goes up high :)

I swear I would marry that man in a minute. No. A second :)

[Madichamp]

I LOVE Luke Pritchard's voice. I swear I would marry him in a minute :) 

[Lespaulcoolio]

New Album pleeeeeeease :)

[Grem97]

Not A Great Cover, I Might Just Stick With The Kooks' Original Songs, And MGMT's Original Songs

[ghyhrryghe]

if i had s*x with the singer, id want him to sing the entire time

[TheFatpat69]

i <3 kooks dont hate on the music man not cool just hear it and love

[maxtag1]

@TheAngryVlogs is this a joke?

[ciscam5]

@maxtag1 i'm almost sure he's serious.

[Holeysweater]

@TheAngryVlogs Wow! that was the greatest comment of all time you deserve like 80 thumbs up or whatever congratulations

[AlexConley]

Too emo sounding...

[RuneTaskGuides]

@AlexConley

I'd hate to hear what kind of music you listen to if you think this is "emo".

ONE M0:00RE TIME!

[AlexConley]

@RuneTaskGuides MGMT isn't emo at all, these guys aren't emo either, but the vocals are just so whinny sounding on this track. Emo was a poor choice of words, granted, but I'd put the vocals here on the same plane as like, the fucking Plain White Ts. Sure, these guys are a lot better, but it's still the same style.

[AlexConley]

@RuneTaskGuides This is all just my opinion, of course. I'm not trying to troll these guys or their fans, it's just the first time I'd heard their cover and it's not my taste.

[cryde19083]

love this the kooks r the shit indie for life!

[mcmc101010]

@cryde19083

Ew, did u just really say "Indie for life"?

You just lost some serious cred...

[mackem1996]

UNREAL!

[SophomoricHumor]

ehh

[giorgegege]

i just raped the replay button 

[Thespotrocksthehouse]

these guys obviously don't know the song so much, they just learned the guitar tabs and the singer is reading the lyrics. The vocal melody stays the same throughout the whole song and they skip the ''bridge'' at 1:57. However they're interpretation of the song is really interesting and the Kooks' singer benefits from a great voice which MGMT's singer does not really have.

[icedog141]

holy shit they played that after hearing the song once?! thats amazing

[dakarchery]

someone have tabs for both the guitars?

[OFFICIALHarryCleaver]

Fucking orgasmic.

[kanevsunder]

love both of these bands

[Soadsgotaload]

I love this so much. Just as good as the original but in a completely different way. I might consider this one of my favorite songs of all time

[Walegu11]

really nice

[baysidedown]

good attempt :)

Luke's voice rocks!

just diiferent feelings with MGMT's one

[kiraliebtmusik]

a friend of mine has almost the same voice *-*

[hojun7273]

I love the Kooks

But MGMT's better in my opinion

MGMT writes the best lyrics, Andrew VanWyngarden is a lyrical genius

And Ben Goldwasser is like the new Tony Banks

And James Richardson is like the new Jimi Hendrix

Nobody can shred like Hendrix and Richardson while stoned like fuck

[Hawkeyes907]

my band and i performed a few covers of this at a talent show. Could we get some feedback from people with a good knowledge of music? thanks /watch?v=FFI8erZQbfM

[idontcare2332]

i love mgmt and the kooks

but no one can do kids better than mgmt

[lo319]

OMG when I hear his voice, I just wanna take my clothes off :p

[ohgee1]

@lo319, Dude, calm down!

[notkroqer2]

@lo319 It's okay if you're a female... Hopefully you're not a guy lol.

[LouiseTheSneeze]

@notkroqer2 don;t be such a sexist, males are allowed to exhibit their bodies just as much as females

[crzydrum55]

@lo319 iv heard his voice before, so when i looked this song up, i already had my cloths off :p
