[Leucoplasts]

I remember this being on youtube, a few years back, with King Charles on the acoustic and a girl accompanying him on the recorder. Good to see it back on the 'tube.

nice video btw:D

[rollercoaster478]

This is genius:) Come back to Latvia!!!! Cant wait Positivus!!!!!!

[CodedRhythmTalk]

@rollercoaster478 It's not genius at all. It's a complete rip-off of Billy Joel.

[MrMralt]

@CodedRhythmTalk Dude, it's a cover/remix/revisioning. Whatever you think of the track, that's just a stupid comment.

[CodedRhythmTalk]

@MrMralt Okay mate, whatever you say.

[MrMralt]

@CodedRhythmTalk Glad to see we're in agreement. That could've been embarrassing.

[rollercoaster478]

@CodedRhythmTalk It isnt really a ripoff... It is just from the perspective of UK;) of course genius firstly is Billy, but you cant denie that these guys have a lot of courage to sample such a great song and make as good as the original;)

[lentzie1]

originaly by billy joel but he did a good job of a cover but original!!<3

[mrtictac94]

Brilliant cover!

[louielover96]

King Charles , should literally be king!

[ooouuuooouuu]

stolen from OTTO!

[moviesaremylife1]

why the f*ck isn't there a love button????

[172fus]

[ElleErin94]

Saw him at Glastonbury in 2009, he is completely brilliant!

[KoRnKid2011]

'Tom Cruise is gay'

[NOrWAYYo]

"Love is just a hippie notion"

I love it!

[foxievampire95]

This somg……fabulous!!!

[DrStalkerMan]

FINALLY a song admitting tom cruise is GAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LoveCandysSweet]

Immigration stole the nation?....

[83tomgarner83]

YES YES YES!

[ThePusscat22]

To me,that was just as good as the original,good job.HRH

[JakeBKan]

and to add to that....I ran out of space...but he also remade it to be relevant to the state the world is in today.

[RealityScare]

It's not the most underrated... it's Billy Joel.

[Estherbaby96]

i love king charles

[rymonater]

lady at 2:16, in the window sooo funny

[speedyninjawarrior]

i like king charles but this song is a fat rip-off of billy Joel...

[RedLacyTwo]

@speedyninjawarrior Are you a moron? That's the whole POINT of this song. Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire showcased the world from an American perspective from 1949-1989. King Charles' is a modern version from a British perspective. Nobody's trying to be original, here.

[eatathonwinner]

@RedLacyTwo  then yes, he is a moron, but oh well the worlds full of them eh?

[JakeBKan]

@speedyninjawarrior ...One of the greatest forms of flattery is impersonation...people don't just remake or cover a song to take someones thunder (at least most dont)...Covers, remixs, remakes whatever it be, are usually meant to be a tribute to one of the musicians that inspired that musicians music, style, life or to even start playing, singing, writing, recording music. Some are acting as if this is the first time someone remade another musicians song...

[YogLAD]

@speedyninjawarrior tool

[Baureihe485]

Sehr gut gelungen- Daumen hoch :-))

[mrtintintaroo]

i brilliant take on this wonderful song.

[frequencpictures]

where can this be downloaded from? i can't find this on itunes or anywhere

[hxcteenagekicks]

At the start of this i was really hopeful, and the guy has some good lyrics in other songs but it just seemed a bit of a weak cop out by the end. I won't compare it to the Joel version but i know which i prefer.

[Tylerfeague]

I hate this sound but still it's cool to see Billy Joel's song recreated.

[christifycj]

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[toomuchtooyoung8]

Where can you download this from?



[concretepoo]

@toomuchtooyoung8 its on itunes bruv

[macnulty914]

german comedians don't exist, there a myth like the loch ness monster

[abarties]

this song is stolen from Otto Waalkes, a German Comedian... Otto Waalkes - Saufen

Blame on you, King Charles

[LULZmoar]

@abarties and I guess Billy Joel had nothing to do with it...

[Cannabian]

Much love from Canada this guy rocks.

[millerhxc]

that beigel shop is in brick lane, right? or is it the one in holloway?

[Snowblind113]

Met him after his show with Cadillac Sky and Mumford and Sons. He was really nice, fun to talk to, and invited us to his show the following night at the Mercury Lounge. Though this was all most likely because of my GF at the time, who he was obviously hitting on. Russell Brand's cousin no doubt.

[podgienoodles]

@Snowblind113 I enjoyed your subtle reference to the fact that your girlfriend is fit. Well player Mr Blind...

[ibeonmine]

What a great song, how could you dislike this? Honestly, i think they just missed the like button.

[MrBrettjohnson]

king charles needs to be bigger in the u.s.a.

[brownbarefan999]

oh dear...

[MonkiiGirl]

I just wish it went in chronological order like the original. =/

[Americangame4]

I'll admit to being one of the three people who started the fire

[usaswim323]

Awesome recording/video.

[ih8gorgonzola]

I'm really diggin this music.

[pandandroid]

Wow, most underrated song I've heard in a wihle.

[jedenzniewielu]

@pandandroid

It's a Billy's Joel cover.

[pandandroid]

@jedenzniewielu Sorry, most underrated 'cover' song I've heard in a while. I knew it was a cover, or rather an adaption based on the update of the lyrics.

And it's Billy Joel, not "Billy's" Joel.

[jedenzniewielu]

@pandandroid

Sorry, I'm not english :P

[pandandroid]

@jedenzniewielu Good music knows no barriers. Rock on, dude.

[YeahiUhh420]

@jedenzniewielu don't be such a dick... King Charles took Billy Joel's song and made it his bitch. When you take a song and make it 100x better and more catchy you don't get all defensive when he's given props. It's not like he's like Lil' Wayne and jumps on every track and has nothing original. This song is underrated for sure, his or not.

[jedenzniewielu]

@YeahiUhh420

Why are you insulting me? I just pointed out the fact that it's a cover, that's all.

[PolskaProdigy]

@YeahiUhh420 You can't say this 100X better than the original when the original is the best song ever...... Besides Chuck Norris probably approved the original.

P.S Great song King Charles!

[YeahiUhh420]

@PolskaProdigy I can say w/e I want. and this version is 100X better than the original. Chuck Norris can suck a dick and then approve of that for all I care.

[IBrokeYourLegs]

@pandandroid It's basically a cover/adaptation, search up "we didn't start the fire," and you'll know what I'm talking about.

[pandandroid]

@IBrokeYourLegs Yeah, I know that. I only found this song because I was looking for the Billy Joel version. I meant that this song - this band's take on it - is really amazing.

[beatdownkev]

brick lane salt beef bagels and wus guitars. safe. such a tune

[fitzi1994]

@JRayMalcolm you know when he will finish his album cause i saw him last summer at a festival and tried finding out about him and only could find about 5 songs ?

[JRayMalcolm]

@fitzi1994 not sure actually, if you become a fan on facebook he puts out little updates. I would imagine it would be out spring or summer 2011?

[kcmseventeen]

im in FUCKING love..... amazing beat and lyrics

[sta1V1ina]

LIKLE P

[theblueside55]

This is a Billy Joel song, lyrics obviously re-crafted for modern day. Very creative!

[jennparr88]

Unreal. Brilliant.

[annajd1]

I saw him too. What an f-ing g. He came out for the encore with half his shirt on holding a brandy glass. I'm in love. (:

[minson122]

[klbaker40]

@minson122 not until 2011.......SOOO EXCITED!

[minson122]

[adam2999]

[raethom15]

last night in toronto was outstanding

[beklouise22]

@raethom15 I was at that show! sooo goood :)

[alwaysandeverful]

Why is Laura Marling mentioned, becuase everything else is things that are wrong with the country and is that saying that she is a fault in the country? cause i thot they were friends?

[bradbrook60]

this is just a great song and video in so many ways

[anarchica04]

he's so much more amazing live! Loved you in Philly

[Wildecent]

[Arkansasmatty]

King Charles was Awesome in New Orleans! I like the videos on here but he is WAY better live! He has some crazy hair too!

[americanmumford74]

[longhornlatino]

This dude rocked it w/ mumford here in austin

[philj212]

Just saw this guy live with mumford and sons. Best performance ive ever seen

[JRayMalcolm]

wait... is this a conservative song!?

[violet30011979]

@JRayMalcolm NO! I think he's stating facts and headlines and perhaps voicing the collective disapointment of our generation in that we have been let down by, well, everyone. That's how i see it anyways.

[JRayMalcolm]

@violet30011979 hmm... that makes sense. So he's just kind of anti-politics in general.... cant say I disagree :)

[weakling102]

Just saw him a few hours ago with Cadillac Sky and Mumford and Sons.

[TearsOfTomorrow]

@weakling102 i saw em in denver last week! i loved all of em and king charles is now one of my favorite artists because of that show :]

[melmes03]
