Kaiser Chiefs on Radio 1 Live Lounge - MGMT Time to Pretend Cover

[jonasnr8]

haribo, lol :)

[TMXskatingroup]

to fast good cover though

[04bootd]

mgmt arent easy to cover but i think the kaiser did a great job. |ts a song that doesnt suit them so people are gonna dislkie them but ricky sang it like it was one of his own!

[weakestlink41]

I liked what they added at the end. The "walk away" part. Sounded good

[alyina]

it's a difficult song to cover... but nutini's cover is awesome! sorry for my english

[dorrington7]

your english is fine. thanks for the info, I love paulo.

[guenevere]

ah, i like the original....

[se4nyb0y]

fucking haribo!!!!?????

[Oniren91]

Decent cover. I'm a big Kaiser Chiefs fan, but I think they could have done a bit better with this one.

[MrMrccjj]

boring... mgmt are't easy to cover at all...

[PSGF]

Crap!

[ryandsz]

its a hard song to cover in all fareness

[noonr001]

They always mess with the lyrics when this song is played, why cant they just let them say heroine?

[Jusanothersomeone]

That's Radio 1 for you. It's because younger people listen to R1, they'd fined, sued or something like that.

[paulmul7]

WOW !!!! thats S**T :P

[NemesisReap3r95]

They did what they could....

Don't judge the chiefs on this!

they have so many good songs that they're allowed a few mistakes

and I dont hate this version....

[thepin666]

need to make it their own... quite boring for Kaiser Chiefs.

[bobbygillece]

seriously shockin cover.. booooring!! chek out paolo nutini's cover.. so much better!

[mrtictac94]

Harribo XD

[carlosorba99]

Is not original at all... boooring cover

[Jackpwnsn00bz]

Wow this sucks lol.

[crackdown235]

what guitar is that?!

[MrSam71]

What the fuck? a Kaiser Chiefs song without their famous "WHOOOOOA"?! Disgusting.

[popatire23]

i love how ppl are complaining about the lyrics, when the version is what kinda sucks..

[jordowestie]

Do you think they would swear and use drug references on bbc?

[LAW12W]

Clearly, they couldn't swear on live daytime national radio could they?

They didn't just think it would be "uber cool" to change it from heroin to haribo.

-To the people who are quoting the changed lyrics.

[Patta10]

I'm feeling rough, I'm feeling raw, I'm in the prime of my life.

Let's make some music, make some money, find some models for wives.

I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars.

You man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

[fixtheoriginal]

don't like this version

[hbhe18]

I love the music in this - Not so fussed on the new lyrics though =p

[lengtith]

I mean, seriously. "Shoot some heribo"?

[RobJoness]

Haribo..

[PurestGreen]

it was played for a radio show on in the middle of the day. they had to change the 'nauty words'.

get over it! It's a good version of the song, i really like it :)

[lengtith]

This just really, really blows. Hard. Changing the words from "heroin" and "cocaine" to random words that don't even fit makes the song complete and utter nonsense.

[wroleSwayne]

Not as good as MGMT's version, and not as good as other Kaiser Chiefs stuff. Gotta admit.

[strawberryzoda]

haribo, muck and colour. is that really what he's saying??

[jezzybelly]

yerrr but the original versions they dont say haribo they say herion n instead of muck and colour they say summink bout cocaine lol byee

[RobJoness]

Its fuck, not muck.

[BRUINESTIFT]

great cover

[manbearpig69m8]

leeds ...... obvz haha !

[leanne8829]

this sounds like it was a song wrote for them haha love it!!!

[hoodboi718]

o yes. i love it. sounds very similar.

[gordoafro]

fucking love this awesome version they fucking rock!!!!

[tenisplayer]

reading the lyrics while he sings.

cool

[steviesteveo1]

I dunno, part of me wants him to know the words. It's pretty impressive to sit down and read it off into a microphone but there's also preparing in advance and that's good too.

[tenisplayer]

you are giving them so much credit..

preparing in advance??

music its fun but sometimes we value it more than it is.

[steviesteveo1]

I'm not really giving them credit at all actually. All I'm saying is just that if you're doing something as your full time job you should put some work in. Sight reading's a difficult skill but learning the words, maybe rehearsing a few times and then doing the live performance is also commendable.

Preparing in advance? Practising? No! Musicians never do that!

[kingslice75]

0:58 teeny tiny piano

[ArrDaMM]

lol he says haribo instead of heroin

[alisoncatz]

Sounds a lot like the original :P

[shortyFLIPinaH]

its still pretty damn goood

[voodoochild85858]

ha jokes

[kimberly2548]

how cute! i liked it. (:

[iamalaydee]

jeez people, you shouldn't take life that seriously..that's only a cover, playing with tunes. fun!

[dbopzfriz17]

i definately prefer this version to the original the kaisers are amazin live aswell

[tomnicholasmusic]

Not that good is it.

I do like the lyric changes though.

[GoroMidna]

Nowhere near as good as the original.

[VladTheImpalerAltLP]

they never are

[mattyredshaw]

the beggining of the song is awesome

[BenjaminNBS]

You have to be a really bad band to make this song sound shit...

and the Kaiser Chiefs are that band.

[monkeyman7650]

You talk out of your arse dick!

[sallysmith1973]

well said monkeyman! :o)

[VladTheImpalerAltLP]

fuck off you twat

[Paddiieee]

HARIBO?!?!

[mrplow99]

Pritty sure its cause they cant say "shoot some heroin" on daytime radio, so they changed it.

[APrisionerOfToday]

Love It!

(I hate the MGMT version..)

[KeithEss]

how do you hate the MGMT version? This is average, and nowhere near as good as the original

[RosieIsLostAlone]

This could be worse lol :)

Haribo lmao

[Pettigrew1992]

amazing! :D x

[LILseamz]

why must people be ruining mgmt? if ur gonna do a cover, at least keep the same melody and use a different singer, i mean really. i hate this version!D:<

[einarst]

Then why are you even listening to it?

[LILseamz]

i just clicked on it to see if it was good, and i didnt like it. its not like i come back to write bad messages about them, i just dont like this remake.

[EmoTheElephant]

But then what would be the point of the cover?? it's supposed to put a different spin on it!

[slowlyunravelsss]

fucking brilliant

[MackZMusic]

He says Haribo... wtf?

[electrique22]

this sucks

[scotchpfc]

fuckin censure

[ThePurpleSpeck]

Haribo > heroin, any day.

[jacsbalm]

It has gelatine in it though :) :L

[lamaren]

its seemsa version for retards

[sallysmith1973]

Well... it wasn't until you walked in.

[lamaren]

chupala puto!

[sallysmith1973]

lo que sea

[AJB2208]

this cover seems chilled out and quite easy to listen to i like it (: (Y)

[LAW12W]

I know thats well stupid, i mean it was only being aired live on daytime national radio, why cant he swear?

-sarcasm

[A7XAvA]

i see a kaoss pad but im not sure whats its purpose on this song

[radioschizo]

it's for BBC's Radio 1, dumbass. Of course they might change the more "offensive" parts. That being said, I like the Kaiser Chiefs and MGMT, but I don't really like this cover. Just seems really off.

[hellbabe92]

lol they've switched Heroin 2 Haribo and Cocaine to Cola .....its ok but no way near as gd as the original

[louluvsl33ds]

noob

[siempra78]

Its the BBC and its live (quite likely before the watershed), I dont think the Queen and her Corgis would be happy to find out that people from Leeds say f*ck and shoot heroin...

[bilk1231]

nearly as gd as the original

[MIKEYBULGE]

This is fucking brilliant

[DDEMOBOY]

go haribo :)

[Rainycatz]

These clean lyrics are hilariously bad, did i hear haribo instead of heroin WTF

[Zeek001]

on the radio, censorship is RIDICULOUS these days

[Smurftastic2]

No it's not. This goes out in the day. Of course they should change it - that's what the watershed is for

[NeonWonderland83]

There is no emotion in his singing. The fact that he has to read the lyrics emphasizes that. Honestly, what was the point in doing this? They don't seem to be enjoying it..

[up4theparty]

I think its quite a good cover ;)

[SixxGunzCherry]

that was soulless.

[MarvelousMatthewWut]

It's silly to say that any band is above being covered by another. If it's not a good cover, that's understandable, but to think a song is so sacred it cannot be covered is simply ignorant.

[jamii192]

i think it would hurt a bit if you tried to shoot some haribo O_O

[kmjones623]

I don't think anyone can cover an MGMT song without degrading it somehow. They reach an apex with each of their songs, instilling a flavor so unique. Their style is entirely their own, and they Own it.

[DeSmurfen125]

I'll move to Paris shoot some Haribo and Fax with the stars!! =D I love both versions they are both so great!!

[thinreaper]

crap, all the feeling, power, emotion, everything special about the original is lost in this cover. And its too fast, it feels like they're in a rush to get to the end.

[bizrix]

Loved it

[maxzen203]

oh man this was really bad...especially the crappy change in lyrics

[blahbluh725]

awful

[carlo2721994]

awsome

[00veryM]

ace - they enunciate so we can actually hear the words! and it still sounds crisp and danceable

[allthisfuss]

is the sing shaking? he looks nervous aw

[zawianala287]

I ike both bands, but I think this cover is better than the MGMT version ;))

[joshmore]

that guitar is lush

[andariotbegins]

Walk Away Walk Away I will follow, great background harmony at the end

[harve14]

shoot some haribo

good times

[craziistuchii]

The guy on the keyboard i think at 3:31 really badly looks like my art teacher haha! random..

[zaidabanksnyc]

Amazing¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡Fantastic version,i like this more than the original¡¡¡

[gazreay]

rish

[gazreay]

rish

[DiabloRojo14]

why does he not mention the bad words and the drugs?

[dainjuhr]

it was going out live on bbc radio 1 when it was recorded

[craziistuchii]

Because their live on the radio, their not allowed to swear etc.. silly :P

[ErniePi]

sounds like the theme tune to Look Around You

[Problematiq]

rofl, i couldn't agree more x

[piggecasimir]

Dear god, no offence to Chiefs, i love them, but you shouldn't cover a MGMT song.

[Desertofchoice]

How to get this rare thinline? It looks and sounds great!

[scotchpfc]

why the fuck is he reading the lyrics????

[NintiesChild]

bcuz he doesnt kno the lyrics....

[DeSmurfen125]

The voice of Andrew is better for this song but Ricky is also good!!

[KittyKaat007]

i likeyyy

[conorcar]

fuckin joke!

[bliss142]

i really like this.

i think it still works but in a different way.

original is better likee.

[dasfuller]

rubbish - dont try it kaiser chiefs

[shirleywilson]

Prefer the original, but this one's pretty pretty rad. Loooove Chiefs xD

[wodemingzijiaonisha]

Great try, but his voice really really really doesn't suit this. I don't think english accents suit this song at all!

[6Anti6Hero7]

umm, i don't know about this cover hey!

it's not a good one.

but other than this cover, kaiser chiefs are pretty good hey!

[almypal83]

i love eggs

[kaiserchiefs16]

great cover! Kaiser Chiefs r the best!!!

[kleinesschokobunny]

i like the original even more....

[janjong93]

I think they did pretty well. I like the song. They always play another sort of music, so it's a sort of challange i think.

[fayeone2three]

they're not allowed to sing about drugs etc on the radio so they had to change some words.

[maureenryan91]

lol...."shoot some haribo"!" hehe love it:)

[Presentboy]

seeing how the dudes looking at the lyrics while hes singing. Someone probably got them to sing it, they probably weren't too keen on doing it. but its a good cover.

[funkysugarbabe]

one of the best covers from radio1

[supertonic22]

I like Kaiser Chiefs, but this performance doesn't do the song justice.

[dyn83]

How cool's that? :-) Always looking for good cover versions of my favourite song. Glad I found the Kaiser Chiefs doing a cover as well. Yay.

[shadowmeetsdarkness]

MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!

[DarckSideofThemoon28]

HAHAHAHAHA o.o

[Davidk5]

shoot some harrbo hahaha

[elsadelasalsa]

dude what happened to all the bad words? besides that its ok i guess i prefer the original

[LAW12W]

Maybe they had to take them out since it was been aired live on daytime national radio?

Just a thought :/

[joannakwallace]

i love your sarcasm! haha. true though, very obvious reason why.

[wfriend]

love Kaiser Chiefs!!!

it was great

[fmdk]

embarassing

[AzulVG]

the song ends up fucked up after the replacement of all the prohibited words, which are like 20 in the whole song, i like much more MGMT's song. anyway it isn't baaaad....

[soffal]

I love it!

[filipe507]

is that alex turner from AM behind nick?

[ajhillybillyaj]

no, its a radio 1 guy

[Affesinge]

HARIBO XD

[aodessey]

NICE GUITAR, TRUSSART ALL THE WAY

[jimcatinnes]

he could have at least learned the words, it's not that difficult lol especially for a singer lol.

great cover (Y)

[sallysmith1973]

They had to change the words, BBC censorship and all that. It's not that Ricky doesn't know the words!!

[HolliJ15]

Now thats wot i call a ruind song.

[sallysmith1973]

For fucks safe, speak English!

[peter110022]

haha I agree, and I think it is a brilliant cover, love the Kaiser Chiefs.

[FaRrOwFoXlol]

damn straight! good on you

[emmondsbadger]

couldnt of put it better meself

[jparker71]

shoot some haribo?!!!!!

[Coozins]

It's a clean replacement for 'heroin' used in the original. There's also 'muck' to replace 'fuck' and 'colour' instead of 'cocaine'

[jparker71]

I know, was laughing at the ridiculousness. Haribo, ffs?!

Isn't that product placement? Could they not have thought of anything else?

[Franterr]

mgmt, una de las mejores bandas que surgieron en el siglo 21.

[jdreddevil1993]

"Someone claiming no one should cover MGMT"..i'm a huge MGMT fan and that is a very narrow minded comment.........and something a true music fan would not state?

[manbotid]

Not bad, I must say.

[soulfoodmonkey]

katy perrys electric feel cover is awesome

[Elsekexx]

er.. are you deaf? sorry, but she's off key like, almost all the time! ... so, no.. it's not awesome. And besides, no one should cover MGMT, even the Kaiser Chiefs shouldn't...

[Mthaman]

i agree that perry sucked, but this was pretty good and the kooks did a good cover of kids, neither as good as the originals but still rad. doesn't mean they shouldn't be covered.
