[EdSisto]

The first black man who can't sing.

[kayo294]

o my god is is is is is martin lawrence

[Thurmo82]

Shockingly bad!

[InterwebzHardman]

@EdSisto

He's not a Hipster... Please search in your faggoty searchbar Test-Icicles..

Before the times bro.

Before the times..

[kamoto45]

I just spasgasmed when I saw this!

[OiNise]

@EdSisto Yes. Labels and the fools that abide by them.

[EdSisto]

Is there anything worse than a black hipster?

[imyourslobobabe]

@EdSisto : Yes!!! - All those all time lame ducks like you who never ever will come close to a hipsters eclectic world and heavenly tastes, you dumbfucked redneck racist!

[LisforLiars]

This is good but prefer the original.

[seaneyBizzle]

Any chance you could tab the chords?

[DenSnuskigaFilmen]

@seaneyBizzle The verse is in E, Cm and B major. The chorus is E and A

[TheWeedcrow]

way better then the original 

[greyreview]

Didn't know Karl pilkington could play violin

[dominicjelic]

@greyreview best comment ever

[RoofTopBoozers]

@greyreview hahahahahahahahaha

[Quaiokapi]

@greyreview That's a durn fiddle, ya city-slickin' hoot-'n-holler. Ha

[ApollyonCruiser]

This is a great cover. I just picked up this song from going back to watch The Inbetweener's and found The Cribs song on one of their closing credits. (SE2/EP2) Great song and 'tastic' job!

[Leah543210]

fucking amazing cover 

[TheGrimSixth]

Yay! I was looking for a violin in a cover <33

[dos21977]

Love his version of the song. I gotta tell ya though, you close your eyes and just listen to the song and you would think that Kele's singing the song. lol. Anyways, great cover.

[midnightmorning]

this is bad, i like lightspeed champion but this is what you call murdering a great song

[HfqueTv]

nice work bloc party xP

[ThePrettypepper]

@HfqueTv u mean test icicles, he's not in bloc party..

[ThePrettypepper]

@HfqueTv u mean test icicles, he's not in bloc party...or test icicles anymore too i guess

[FogofLegnago]

nice!!!

[LookMomAFairy]

ah its so laid back, i love it

[Vvalerie123]

I like this and his interpretation of the song

[ProtoisRob]

Cribs are quality. Dev is awesome. Combined, they're brilliant.

[THECLAYSTER]

Hahaha, why did people give my comment thumbs down? I said it was accident.

Fucking youtubers.

[IWasBornAUnic0rn]

No, men need sex. The song isn't called Men's Wants.

[NerdyGirl92]

What does this song mean?

It's excellent, I just have to know.

[Reint25]

@NerdyGirl92 It's about the singer doesn't agree with the typical 'macho' men's needs.

[NerdyGirl92]

@Reint25 Thank you for replying, that"s very helpful :)

[kanaTH44Z]

nice voice!

[THECLAYSTER]

So dumb, I accidently hit the ratings, and gave it a 1 star!

I love this! And I love Lightspeed Champion!

WHAT THE FUCK YOUTUBE

[GaaraOfTheSandyShoe]

unlucky sir lol

[jumanjibill]

@THECLAYSTER I HATE YOU!

[bennyboy606]

ahhh, the good ol' days of mtv2.....they kingsof leon came along.

[jumanjibill]

@bennyboy606 moron

[bennyboy606]

but kings of leon every 15 minutes? its soooo boring

[benchamp]

I had this thought myself the other day. It's still decent if you watch from 2a.m. till about 6.

:-|

[annaliesehallows]

This is so amazing.

LOVE IT.

[sebbs89]

brilliant!

[Eniyi04]

this was done quite well

[Rittiville]

oh and sick hat.

[Rittiville]

if there's one thing i love more than really excellent remixes, it's really excellent covers.

seriously, there are so many awful covers of brilliant songs that reuin the originals. (Avril Lavigne should NEVER EVER COVER ANYONE EVER AGAIN)

But this...this is brilliant. it works so beautifully.

[RotkaeppchenGmbh]

star wars!

[shunth3nonbeliever]

Wow.

[lightspeedloser]

Does anyone know the chords to this song?

[lightspeedloser]

Nevermind, goddit.... I think

If anyone wants to know, I tihnk it's: E C#m A

just play around with the timing

[seanyp1987]

yeah its E Ccharp and A its a really easy song to play but hard to sing the mans needs part!!!

[gooldude3]

really good cover! but fast...not saying its bad, but thats cool.... and i like how the violin plays with it... it sounds beautiful :)

[andrecalvoandre]

Anyone know the Chords or know where I can get the tab for the acoustic version he's playin?

[Tesco38]

The chords are E, D# (just to link the E and the next chord), C#min, B

then chorus is just A and E

[drumonkeejake]

anything he touches turns to gold.

[MrUnknown07]

nice cover! well done lightspeed

[talveer2]

Haha this is awesome, Nice job guys.

[templetonboom]

A brave attempt on a difficult song. Nice on dev

[Rachellouisax]

(L) mr lightspeed

but whats up with the american accent?

[AliceGlassMakesItHot]

i hear no american accent

if thats what he was trying to accomplish it was probably a joke cause this was at SXSW

[curlyheadcham]

amazing cover, nice one!

[peckamite]

Squided: On Lightspeed coming to London. Sometimes a prophet must go where he is needed. A prophet must preech to the unconverted not only the converted.

[becky220793]

one of my favourite artists, and one of my favourite songs, legendary :) x

[TheDuthujean]

Great!!

[AceniggaH00D]

wtf is a knob... stfu bitch

[BeerCrazedMonkey]

thats how you spell knob, yano, your dick? or dont you have one? stfu wazzuk

[northernsoulmod]

quite a gd cover, but the the guy looks like a total knob

[squided]

this is a terrible cover and a little hypocritical him singing it (fact it's an anti-scenester song and he was in one of the most scenester bands of all time and hung around in all the ultimate scenester venues) but pointknightchime's lowly attempts at downgrading the cover and artist is pathetic to say the least.

[TomMunster]

It's just a song.

[TheNuKeKid]

dude maybe he plays music jusz for the fun of it.ever thought about that.....damn fuckin pessimistic

[ceejaydoyle]

yeah but the test icicles thing was contrived for publicity, they didnt even like the music.

I kinda get you with the gimicy nature of the lightspeed extravagance but his music and approach isnt sceney.

what scenester venues do you even me?

[squided]

hahaha lovin the negative response. the fact of matter is he was one of those kids that followed the trend down london way (never go that far south so can't say i know the venues in truth). the fact of the matter nevertheless is i wrote exactly why i think the cover a poor one instead of just giving the stereotypical youtube response. thenukekid, i do appreciate people play music for their enjoyment but you could argue that westlife produce music for the fun of it, it doesn't mean it's good.

[toneddie]

callum smith is clearly just his name... wheras you have some gay thing a bout knights??? you need to sort it out mate,,, lightspeed campion are shit hot

[pointknightchime]

lightspeed champion is one person u fuckin duster.

[pointknightchime]

lightspeed champion sucks a dick. i thought it was a band. what kind of chump calls themself lightspeed champion....but just know this isnt actually an invitation to suck my dick....cuz he would....

[calumsmith2]

what kinda dick calls themself pointknightchime

[pointknightchime]

what kind of dick calls themself calumsmith2 at least im pontknightcime 1 you faggot. u listen lightspeed champion. nuf said.

[blocpartydude]

oi nob jockey,

you're a cock

and lightspeed champion is class

what kind of shit do you listen to?

[pointknightchime]

haha the guy wears a ferret on his head and sings like he has a dick in his mouth. I enjoy music not a homo mumbling songs he didnt write.

[blocpartydude]

he sings class,

and have you heard midnight surprise or dry lips? both by him and both better than this cover

[jaKthemighty]

For someone who "enjoys MUSIC" you're not very good at commenting on it are you? I mean his hat is irrelevant, (it doesn't make music, in case you didn't know).

Oh, and "the guy" wrote album closer "No Surprise" for his girlfriend. So i think we can all agree that he's straight.

[pointknightchime]

I just said this ISNT MUSIC u downie. even if he is straight he dresses and sings like a homo

[jbri1]

@calumsmith2 wha kinda dick calls themself calum? Just sayin'.

[deandave24]

@pointknightchime troll! troll.

[chchubs]

dev should rule the world

[bahazzy12345]

tuneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee,, not as good as the original but tilllll fucking tuneeeee he coverd it dead well :D

[FunkiPigeon]

1:21 - the violinist just ponders "What the hell is that guy wearing on his head?"

Answer - The most amazing hat ever! I know, i have one (y)

[bennyboy606]

HAH

[Vertiex]

LOL!!

[Vertiex]

Lmao, thats exactly what i was thinking when i seen that bit.

[SKEETSURFING25]

[JinxedOut]

I remember watching this on MTV2 and basically wetting myself.

[greasychipbeattie]

Lightspeed Champion is one cool mofo. :D

[Cheeby123]

Hell yeah he is! I mean just look at his name "Lightspeed Champion" its like something out of a comic book! Hes awesome

[spazabarri]

thats what it was it was a super hero character he drew in his maths book that solved maths equations or some shit lolz!

[sketcheasy]

he used to draw a comic, and that was the space superhero that would solve problems with math problems and equations and algorithms

[rosegrayx]

[Fredjim187]

Brilliant cover. The original is great, but this very nearly tops it.

[the41yearoldvirgin]

yes young siddel you legend. your dad teaches me history and raves about your violin playing abilities and your baldness! big love xxx

[SpaniardInTheWork]

controversial perhaps

but i think this is better than original

has a better feeling

and much easier 2 listen to

not a big fan of the cribs tbh

[TOAF1981]

Yeh, definitely better in my opinion.

[MrGabbez]

Star Wars :D I love this cover :D

[danizcool]

Met him at wakestock, he's so cool.

i love his guitar as well, it's mad!

[DanielleDRAGQUEEN]

i love this guitar.

its FIT.

[TOAF1981]

Does this mean you find it sexually arousing? Be honest.

[DanielleDRAGQUEEN]

er, no.

[TOAF1981]

Oh, 'cos that's what I thought 'FIT' meant..

[georgegabriel9]

touche!

[VikashXD]

Simply Wow. Go lightspeed :)

x

[ssjt0m]

pretty good studio violinist, kind of made this song a lot better than it would be without it to be honest.

[thechenster]

Singing is as good but still a sweet cover

[OliGeeee]

awesome!

anyone know where you can download this from?

cheers

[harrymaynard]

Amazing, of course.

[thisisatrueeestory]

[leftovers0]

[barcalmlmlmlmlmmessi]

[Otium9]

Way good. way good.

[NuRaveMaarten]

WHOATTT

this is the coolest.

[barcalmlmlmlmlmmessi]

nowhere as good as the cribs version i dont care what anyone else thinks thats my opinion

[habhooba]

I feel sorry for the people walking in the background, they're missing out.

[Jtoy5]

This is so much better than the original!

[Flatsole]

I really like this version during the chorus...it's a little much during the verses

[thesecondmessiah1995]

covers are meant to be different

[12lewis12]

Any1 know the chords to this acoustic version?

Cheers

[DeadSpastic]

Hey, do you guys have a record deal? No. Speak when you have some grounds on the matter, my friends. I like it.

[IGotProducedIn1989]

just because he doesn't stick to the rules of the mainstream he isn't gay. you guys are just accustomed to all this mainstream shit so you can't experience really good music! dev is sooo genius (counts for both lightspeed champion and test icicles)

[zeonXL]

i couldn't agree more. I feel sorry for musically ingnorant people your missing out on alot

[funnymonkeyguy]

you guys have no fucking taste

[doesitoffendyouyeaah]

pretty poor effort to be honest

[crls1234]

gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[cesaROCK07]

mm... sounds a little too much like kate nash cover... i think

[Chipolin]

the best cover i've seen from the cribs GREAT

[Clary14rockz]

I love dev!! Hes so cool!!! lol. This is a great cover!!! = ]

[StartWearingGogol]

Amazing Cover, Dev Hynes Is Such An Amazing Artist.

[happyasannie24]

i love dev! this is a mint cover

[Thegibbo123]

i agree, sounds fucking bolux

[F55doll]

The greatesst cover!!!!

[FakieFilmz]

Have you seen the new video? The Crunk song... ;-9

[namraj]

interesting version, but i've heard him do better covers, and his songwriting is incredible.

[Makkerz]

when i saw this as a related video, i said to myself ill listen to it and if i liked it id start listening to them and try and get into them. personally i thought it was crap.

[kingmonkey69k]

why is he putting a lisp on?

[ggtherocker]

cause ryan sings with one in this song?

[1moresolo]

does he? Dev is dick
