[cipsi123]

[CheerQueenz2017]

This my song😃 but glee sings it better

[BeamishBloom]

I was expecting them all to be black kids.

[kayo294]

STOP STOP STOP IS THE CURE OR NO?

[MinnieMinroe]

The look so NORMAL. It's actually really refreshing :)

[griveous7]

The blonde is sexy :P

[miembrosgibran]

@griveous7 SHES FAT

[griveous7]

@miembrosgibran i don't care its musician that's sexy :P i like fatties

[brendagr18]

why cant you seeeee

[durrty4sho99]

They are well over due for a new album

[BLACKIESBOY]

I guess David Letterman has never seen a black kid before and he was just excited.

I totally want to boink the blonde chick.

[MissyJD94]

Apparently the "ever since I was a little girl" lyric is just an inside joke.

[Theshemproductions]

I'm thinking im in the 80's...really cool

[Theshemproductions]

Nice melody...The bass is actually heard....

[sehnsucht77]

meh song.

[toughman123]

Who ever said black people had to rap?

[markosmend]

so he isn't gonna thank the white kids to???? fucking bastard

hahhahahha

[NewYawkCityTimes]

Reminds me of The Cure, alot.

[NirvanaNerd364]

i love the lack of black kids

[TheDukeNY]

LikeCraazy: I think the lyrics are written by one of their female band members

[LikeCraazy]

wait wait wait is he singing "since I WAS A LITTLE GIRL" ? :o

[joaopedrotrue]

Beeeeest!

[problack]

bassist mistake 1:33

[everlot1000]

@problack well considering its a pretty hard and tiring bassline its kind of imaginable

[Nobsackme]

I was quite enjoying their music until I came across this. My god this song is SHITE

[PanfisWater]

"THANKYA BLACK KIDS!!!" haha

[fatherlyon]

@sotytin80 WTF? Sounds nothing like Robert Smith

[rahulchouhan1983]

Hey guys!!!This song is also in FIFA 09's playlist,from which I came to know about this song.

[MrJoelguitar]

the lead singer looks like donald glover from 'the community'

[bartholemeww]

soo gooodd...

[roooby66]

Love this song!

[o0MSA0o]

I think guys sing this song better than girls

[MrJimmypop66]

this is a real tricky song on bass

[TheMartini1234]

@MrJimmypop66 Just practise it at a slower tempo, the riff is the same pattern over two different notes each times

[quadpod]

@MrJimmypop66 LOL! cant keep up with the 1 to 5!!!!

[MikeyyTsunami]

everything is sooo good except the white vocalist waaaaaay to obnoxious -_____-

[audiodubliner]

Im not sure if they are nervous or just playing really fast, but this seems really quick tempo'ed

[AcewingxProductions]

@audiodubliner Most bands play their songs at a faster tempo live. I don't know why.

[stpuma5]

@AcewingxProductions coz it'd be boring and they're against clock

[justinotherpeterson]

david letterman is ballin

[NostalgicLaugh]

AMAZEBALLZ:D

[1960ClassicRocker]

there's only one black kid

[Churros1616]

@1960ClassicRocker well actually two

and the others may be black on the inside:P

[cocotiks]

i love this song but they all need to sing louder

[flashfilm9]

Love these kids!

[rebel2179]

2 things... 1. Why does he say "you are the girl I've been dreaming of ever since I was a little girl?" he's a boy right? And 2. Glee did this waaaaaayyyy better!!

[itsnottruerufus]

@rebel2179 No.

Just no.



[nickfromCO]

i didn't know hines ward grew an afro...i didn't even know he formed a band

[zachi033]

David Letterman has such a good taste in music.

[PamelaJohanna]

Cobra Starship really need cover this song. It could be amazing!

[Teim36]

@PamelaJohanna You better be trollin



[PamelaJohanna]

@Teim36

No, i'm not.

Who ask for your opinion on my comment, anyways?

[Teim36]

@PamelaJohanna You did by by sayin any thing from that teir of stupid shit

[PamelaJohanna]

@Teim36 Oh fuck off you moron and get a life! You don't have anything to do besides saying shit about other people comments!

[shamelesslover89]

Letterman sounds hilarious saying 'Black Kids'. Lol

[missfashionfoward]

This is sooo white Hahah

[luciano9009]

@missfashionfoward It's just music.

[chrisrosen6]

darren criss brought me here...

[betoski]

took me a while to warm up to these guys <3

[FaceMelter1212]

This guy cannot sing, no matter what fans say, he just can't, be honest, you know I'm right.

[redshadows999]

@FaceMelter1212

Usually in the case of Indie music

In this case Indie Pop to be exact...Most singer's usually lack actual professional singing skills, because of the face when singing Indie music most people try and go for a more unique sound in terms of voice, so you don't really need singing expertise to perform.

[beer0k]

@FaceMelter1212 perhaps it begs the question as to whether he needs to be able to lol

[FaceMelter1212]

@beer0k Well, i know this is a different genre, but since when does not being able to sing.......a good thing in music lol

[ravenajunivera]

[IIdizzaftII]

To the so called " Musicians" hating on this track. Are you deaf? A pop track ala The Cure one of the most influential bands of all time. Good job Black kids

[AirheadOz]

Yes, I like snacks.

[AirheadOz]

I am no drummer, but boy the drummer looks uncoordinated.

[CountYanuki]

@AirheadOz im sure any normal person would be a little tense and uncoordinated for the first time on TV.

[AirheadOz]

@CountYanuki Absolutely man, just pointing out the obvious ha ha. I would be much, much more uncoordinated.

[StinkyGreenBud]

Wow they suck. 

[Noradboarder13]

[ronaldkeithcooper]

[Nachojman]

I'm a black dude who shreds on guitar and this sucks.

[MrWiiPS360]

@Nachojman yo im black too but shredding is boring listen to more 80s alt

[theflightoffancy]

Drummer messes up at the beginning ;(

[EXTREMExxGAMER]

Sounds like the cure

[waytooepic]

i dont seeeee any black kids :O

[DrivenBlack]

so the singer is a lesbian?

[nataliemoon1]

@DrivenBlack Nope. His name is Reggie Youngblood... the lyrics were just more provocative that way.

[kyubisora123]

@DrivenBlack No. Its a inside joke him and his sister would say to everyone.

[Lawalee]

I Do Like Snacks! Please Carry On...

[DrivenBlack]

The black girl looks like a taller with more hair version of snooki

[xxdre09xx]

Lol it's like so hilarious when letterman is like "thank you black kids, way to go, I liked that" had to rewind that so much lmao

[asianmanxDD]

[xXKilamanjaroXx]

Nice Indie music

[sotytin80]

Is it me or does the lead singer sound a lot like Robert Smith of the Cure? Even the music sounds like the Cure or at least this track does.

[natassiaserrab]

@sotytin80 Totally.

[MrLisztomaniac]

@sotytin80 agreed.

[sickofdao]

@sotytin80 definitely. 

[sorenwasmerable]

ever since he was a little girl?

[thehefolomp]

im luvn that bass!

oh yeah and the bass player from the

shows band was like, dis iz howitz dun,

hehehehe!

[Italo56194]

is a good band

[drewmcdrex]

Fake

[BluesGee]

@drewmcdrex ?

[aleatham]

is it me or do they seem super nervous? love this song though and surprisingly well done live.

[chaseindie]

Thank you black kids. Way to go. hahahhaa

[nubcakehero]

there's only 1.5 black kids in that band

[Ahkany]

i feel their passion for music :P not the best looking band (hey lets be honest)... but their music is pretty good for indie. i am so scared though. when indie goes mainstream (popular)? HELL BREAKS LOOSE :O and they start to crumble. they lose talent. aka All Time Low. dont get me wrong. i love them... but they've been slacking :/ their first album was amazing though. like i said, before they went mainstream...

[chaseindie]

dance dance dance dance dance dance dance! Yeah! Eat my muffins!

[pitufrezonika]

love this song :D

[rexan]

watch?v=EGmD-rXnWQk

[IWantLumpia]

@rexan gracias. love this song and video.

[PARADOXADOR]

who else thinks the bass was way too low in the live mix?

[goldfya]

"YEA! Thank you, oOoOoh boy, how ya doin'? Good to have you here, nice stuff, thank you very much. Look at this...Black Kids! ladies and gentlemen! Thank you Black Kids!" - David Letterman

LMAO!

[offtheavenue]

Hey we are a new studio in Florida, and we have been getting some of the best bands in orlando to do a new web-series called Off The Avenue. Check it out.

[deucehig]

Rufio Rufio RU FI OHHHHHHHH

[clanhollywoodhal0]

"thank you black kids!"

lol that just sounds wrong

But yeah the name does make it like that

[rockerjcc]

Hey, I reviewed Wizard of Ahhhs and Partie Traumatic as my first double music review. Its on my page if anyone is interested.

[MovieWatchingChannel]

DAT BASS

[seriousbees]

Wow David Letterman sounded sooo sincere at the end there. I bet his actual reaction to most of the bands which play on his show is like "wtf is this shit",

[ApocalypseForFree]

new wave crap

[24Hours2]

Great band!

[Chr0nict0wn]

Hey, finally some kids that look skinnier than myself. Yes I'm skinny haha. And I feel the not so revered Reverend Al Sharpton is mad. There's no black kids in a band named "Black Kids". It must be racist.

[Eddiesoll]

i love this songs

[ooLevityoo]

"look at this, black kids everyone!"

[Kazooie94]

The song is good but the twelves mix, is much, mucn, and much better!

[max4x4x]

@Kazooie94  Their mix tapes are equally as rad!

[yiyangxoxoBAM]

I love it when awesome songs are sung at live shows.

[Mad110]

like the band but the singer is not good

[snjustin]

This isn't terrible at all, but... geez guys, way to over-produce your album, you can't even hope to recreate that sound live...

[maniaksixone]

gay

[exirvin]

Muy buena banda

[tierren]

Great Band !!!!!!!!!1

[RastaAfro1]

"Thank You Black Kids!"~When he says it, its sounds pretty gay and racist.

[GnomesAmok]

@RastaAfro1

HHAHAA i cracked up when he said it!

[Leachimification]

@RastaAfro1 Klingt wie Mr. Garrison aus South Park.

Translation: Sounds like Mr. Garrison from South Park.

[Aeserena]

@RastaAfro1 Ironic that you disparage one group to claim that Letterman is disparaging another group.

[konekozuki]

@Aeserena My thought exactly.

[kyubisora123]

@RastaAfro1 how does it sound gay?

[SoaringLotus]

you can tell david letterman had a tough time saying that

[lily1235]

the black girl is the leads singers sister who wrote this song and they are Asian n black btw!

[cabratotal3]

the black girl is sexy

[kfizzle441]

i think this is too quick...

[ricky549880]

that black girl looks way fatter now than in the official video

[Aydee2020]

@ricky549880 this song has an official vid?i didnt know tht

[AFizzleSkadizzle]

lol please welcome "Black Kids" :/

[Aydee2020]

was that an old woman on keyboards

[rheinze92]

I love Letterman at the end. God do I dig Dawn.

[kristaroksi]

@JonasHSM not even close

[JonasHSM]

@kristaroksi well, that's what I think.

[kristaroksi]

@JonasHSM Luke Pritchard is epic

[aclopezestrada]

Nice song....but he doesn't sound anything like Robert Smith....no one does....he is trying though.....

[GaaaraMx]

No se deciden y ni van al tiempo todos

apestan en vivo

[mmmagus1]

I remember watching this episode late at night. I was thinking, "Nice. Dave was smart to put them on here." Really good song. Very catchy.
