The Bamboos - 'King Of The Rodeo' feat. Megan Washington

[achmedda3rd]

would never have guessed it was a kings of leon rock song if i hadnt heard the original! i really enjoyed this- on my favorites list now!

[GuinTheKimmiDoll]

Woooow this version is SO different to the original Kings of Leon. :O

[tommygunned1]

How the hell is this virtually unknown ????!!!?!?!?!!

[CordlessShow]

See an EXCLUSIVE performance by Megan Washington on the CORDLESS SHOW channel

[robyns76]

voglio fare l'amore con la donna che suona il piffero

[RooRayMusic]

wow!

[loekloekloek]

hate the glasses, and I think more importantly; the original is way better, in the time that Kings of Leon were actually bringing out real music, with real beards

[TheMusicTard]

@loekloekloek Then go listen to the original and don't complain on the this page, i personally dislike the kings of leon but you don't see me going on their page and saying "that cover the bamboos did is better"

[vovadrama]

Охуенно!

[dadiwow08]

much better! (y)

[thecalmcoffeetree]

big push 2009

[TheMusicTard]

@thecalmcoffeetree Best Big push so far!

[abrarsutube]

sooper dooper BABY!

[indieforthecat]

this is fucking terrific

[DrPianist89]

so much better than the original!

[Treefingrs]

What a babe.

[CrazyliciousFlavor]

@extrasupervery7 if that's the case, then you really haven't seen a lot of shit

[PushChicagoMusic]

can't beat the Kings of Leon version..

[BO636]

Love it

[reillykit]

not keen on this at all...the girl has got a good voice but they have just ruined a really good song!.......wish people stop messing round with KOL's song!

[bmcg8888]

@reillykit how did they ruin a really good song the original still there untouched go listen to it and stop whining

[subculturenerd]

all im gonna say here is that megan washington is sexy as fuck. That whole geek chic thing pushes my buttons

[roydagger]

@subculturenerd

Ah....you are so right about megan washington.At least someone on here has some good taste.

Ya know most people would prefer a boring blonde with fake tits,fake tan and fake lips.

[PhonixRMF]

<3

[falloversideways]

i love the original song by kings, and i liked this one too, but the chorus is what i love most about the original and this one was lacking for me

[redandbluemadepurple]

I love this version, its cute and i love her voice but watching her sing ruins it for me. not a fan of the vid but i LOVE the sound. the vid isnt particularly bad or anything i just cant concentrate on the music when watching it and i think she sounds better than her visual performance (not saying shes ugly at all btw). she sounds more into it and not as...fake? i dont wanna be mean but thats the best i can describe it.

[nununu8]

listening to this makes me want to pull out the original and put it on repeat again. thanks bamboos, you have re-enlightened my love for the kings.

[Mayjayy]

2:09 i love that guy!! haha also this video clip is amazing!!!

[engeladam409]

I don't hate Kings of Leons's music, infact I think thier music is pretty good. However, they are probably the worst performers I know of. I saw them earlier this year and they have absolutelly no stage stage presence. Especially the drummer. Just sits there and chews gum. Not cool. (certainly not worth the money)

[Uppitytube]

I dont even like this kind of music and i think its great lol

[evfanno1]

ahhhh Amazing! I love it :)

[tommywm24]

To all the haters...this song is better than shit Kings of Leon do these days

[paulalde]

I'm going to try and pretend I didn't listen to this..........destroyed!

[sinkypie7]

yuck!



[tonyteague01]

i hate narritave vodeos. just because the song says something dosnt mean you have to have a visual description of every word! but yeah, shes freakin great.

[jamesteh8]

@tonyteague01 hahahaha douche

[JinxedOut]

No no no no no no no no!

[yertletheturtle4]

2:09 :D

[zkagtrendy]

The singer should lose the glasses. (or change the frame)

[kateroonistudios]

@zkagtrendy who are you to tell someone what they should wear?

[mojopin86]

@zkagtrendy she has now dude

[F00D1ES]

@zkagtrendy Those aren't her normal glasses.

[brigeeey]

holy shit, this is so amazing!

[esormairim]

I think at 2:11 the flautist trips. pretty funny.

[MatthewFromEarth]

Great cover, it's have it's own life

[Chizzaamm]

Bamboos + Megan Washington = awesome!

[Appycake]

This looks like it was hell fun to play/sing.

[bucketmaster1]

how dare you waste a classic - mark ronson number 2

[smurk143]

@bucketmaster1 hahahah mann listening to music so frustrated really does undermine the very meaning of listening to music doen't it?

[kristiansanto]

A friend who is a long time friend with the trumpet player Ross told me that the girls in the background playin the instruments are the wives of the guys in the band

[laladeda99]

they lost me at the flute solo

[PeteWhitcombe]

Nice Job Ms W

[oldfashionguy9]

best kings of leon cover ever!!!!!!!!!! ever!

[bobcyl]

@oldfashionguy9. sorry cant agree lol kings of leon shouldnt be coverd :L

[jpcosby]

boo. it was already a hip song, it didnt need a hipster remix. the baseline made the song and these people ruined it. booo.

[tentontessy1]

this song majkes me strut whenever i listen to it on the pod

[eyeflow9]

bamboos are fun.

[OldBony]

This is pretentious art school faggot shit.

[slicydicer]

@OldBony you're a faggot hurfadurgf

[OldBony]

@slicydicer That's what I said to your dad while I was fucking him in the ass with a broomstick.

[slicydicer]

@OldBony haha you touched my dads butt

[eyeflow9]

@slicydicer yeah..... but it was in the name of "pretentious art school faggot shit"....it's a movement you know.

[musicman02]

Kings of Leon's entirely library doesn't have half the appeal of 2 bars of this version.

[imhowardmoonsir]

This Version is ok, but any fucktard that thinks it tops the kings of leon original is fucking kiding themselves! All hail the kings!

[leethax0r]

nice cover

[fredrs1403]

this is kings of leon blasphemy

[DarthtredII]

Anyone saying the Kings version is better than this has to be joking - am a bit of a fan of the Kings but this craps on their version - big time

[djkozmik]

its just a video poto, its not like they were doing this live and got cought lip syncing like ashlee simpson did. Blame the editor

[dreweyproductions]

Fantastic work by the infamous Bamboos! Loving it!

[propositionjohnston]

It's ok. It is a cool feel. - It just doesn't have the same quirkiness as the original - even though these players are a hundred times better than the kings of leon.

[potofgravy]

I love this track but does this video annoy anyone else? There's so many bits that don't sync. I mean, the first shot has the drummer playing the snare to the sound of a floor tom. And then they're all sitting down and clapping which works for the first two claps but the second clap doesn't exist on the track.

Perhaps I'm just being pedantic.

[MAreesay]

you're being pedantic. very much so.

perceptive, but pedantic.

[bluesman332]

@MAreesay hahahahhaha yeah

[FutureSailorOhYea]

this is useless! she ruined it completely shes too cocky for someone who isnt too successful!

[benrox26]

totally agree this is crap compared to the kings

[xPlayxEvansxPlayx]

it didnt ruin the original, they are paying respect to it and thought they could do it this way, im a kol fan first but they have artist right to do this

[neiltjuh]

completely raped and ruined one of kings of leons best.

[benrox26]

yep

[jabbid111]

Washington is awesome. Love how this cover isn't a carbon copy of the original.

[HandsOnPaws]

Why ruin a amazing song?! awful!

[DarthtredII]

Don't know the original but this is great - very cool - MW has a great voice

[andrewdonald07]

the original is probably about 100 times better than this...

[maximam2]

สุโค่ย I ชอบมาก \(*o*)/

[BingoBango2111]

I shit this band!!! its complete and utter crap

[sweetbluhaze]

Absolute dross, that bitch is fookin annoying, full of herself yet talentless, i cant believe this is a real band!

[FutureSailorOhYea]

i heard this was decent but lookin at it for myself wow its a disaster its such a mark ronson wannabe remix of a pretty good song! horns on this song really dont go.

its border line terrible and i hate that chick singin so much its not funny shes tryin way too hard to make the song unique it really sucks!

[jcroldan89]

how do they ruin an already bad song?

[Hellfire2120]

they ruined it -.-

[ps3RocksXbox]

KoL makes more sense

[adnilgreen]

i luv megan's voice

[trus1ss]

Great!

[badmofo3000]

KoL

[jakethegreatable]

this is just pure feel good music. love it.

[fossegrim91]

this woman's got style... incredible

[BingoBango2111]

what the hell was you watching??

[fossegrim91]

"The Bamboos - 'King Of The Rodeo' feat. Megan Washington"

... ;)

[JJZSS251]

love this shiz

keep going :D

[ThinLizzyImOK]

this is boring..KoL much better

[SyndicateACE]

i like kings of leons but seems like their instruments drained out the lyrics, guess im more for the classic sound like this. this girl can sing.

[TheWrongCentury]

waooww :D

[wumizzle]

i luv it!

[littlepipandcowbell]

I think this is terrific. I like this as much as I like the original KOL song, and those who say that they 'ruined a great song' need to approach this as something different.

[elmozooster]

i quite like it :)

[91Ducky]

This kicks arse!!

[bobcyl]

shes a great singer ant that no doubt,

but this is not the song for her. i also think she just ruined the kings of leon for me aswell :(

haha

[Shayne0584]

I think her voice is perfect... and I never really liked Kings of Leon... so maybe I'm biased :P

[andrewkeegans1]

ha ha. Cheers.

[pandadardar]

man i kinda feel bad for KOL...shes milking fame out of it....kind of...i'll jst have to wait if this gets mainstream....then i'll tick off...

[GIBRANongay]

it made me feel sick!!!!! i love KOL and it´s a bad cover!

[kingorodeo88]

nice, thought i was going to hate this cover but its other way around ;)

[cavemania]

Megan sings like an angel and is as cute as a button. Thanks for posting.

[jeska121]

I love kings of leon (first 2 albums only) and I love Megan Washington. Just like Mark Ronson's stuff, it's refreshing to hear a good cover. Love it.

[DJSHEERAN07]

butchered!!!

[Boogyster]

More like you have no taste.

[aaronmrn]

This is Winhouse's Fault. God damn annoying jazzy stuff. she should have sang like caleb that would been funny

[BandwagonJumper007]

Kings of who........................Im into Megan Washington.

WTF I discovered her by accident...............she is a massive talent. I want to see a lot more of this performer.

[andrewkeegans1]

i love her. she's lush.

[bboicrazy8]

1 thumbs up for saying "lush" :)

[Mayjayy]

@andrewkeegans1 

[Mayjayy]

@andrewkeegans1 lush is definitely the right word to describe her :)

[Karalhovski]

Hey guys, give it a break please.

Im a HUGE KINGS OF LEON FAN. I fucking love them , specially the first three albums, and aha shake heartbreak is pure fucking genial music. But, comon, she (the singer) is just having fun, it's a creative version, and she have a great voice.

[samanthahaley]

@Karalhovski

You should check out some of Megan Washington's stuff, she really is great. =]

[FunkyFenus]

did i mention before?

I LOVE THIS!!!

let them roll...

[C130wannabepilot]

too jazzy singers not bad tho

[xrammyx]

though this singer is really annoying too..

[missmusak]

Agreed with Funkmisternate i hate her dancing and her glasses and she seems to give out a vibe of i'm the centre of attention!! Drives me mental i couldn't watch the whole thing! I love the bamboos though but what were they thinking!!!

[KingSt2008]

Fantastic! Fun take on a great song.

[superkato99]

i love both versions. this ones really creative and inventive. usually when people do covers they make it their own style to represent them - not the band they covered. some people may think its complete shit, but i think its a really different creative version that was really well done. everyones only saying its shit because theyre so attached to kings of leon that they cant stand someone covering their songs. just goes to show how utterly ignorant people can be.

[xrammyx]

yeah man i agree!

[C130wannabepilot]

her dancing is annoying tho

[tunaleg]

complete shit

[Bernard2703]

Talk about ruining a song!!!! This is a terrible version!!! I agree with ya FunkMisterNate!! Listen to the Kings of Leon ORIGINAL version!!!!! :)

[FunkMisterNate15]

and then what really pisses me off is in the title and info it just says "King of The Rodeo" by the Bamboos. First off, they give no credit to KoL. Second who the FUCK are the bamboos?! People who listen to the bamboos are most likely to have no clue who The Kings of Leon are and they are going to think these fuckers made the song! Someone please shoot that bitch in the video, she dances like a dumb ass and her glasses... ahh don't even get me started!

[TrickyTank]

Look in the tags you'll clearly see "Kings Of Leon" and "Cover Version". As soon as this song came out I knew it was a cover, and if you look on the related videos first up is the Kings of Leon version. The Bamboos have shifted the genre of the song too which is quite a feat. These days it's often more about the recording than the song itself. The Beatles covered "Twist and Shout" but you never hear about the Top Notes. If anything this has only helped more people get to know KoL.

[tqug24tq]

ur retarded, everyone knows that it's a kings of leon song ur just the only idiot that takes offence to it, ive heard kings of leon do covers, but of course that;s okay right? get a fuckin life

[FunkMisterNate15]

Horse Shit! not everyone knows this is a cover. How are you going to tell me to get a life when your talking shit over the internet. So fuck off

[superkato99]

dude, it says kings of leon cover/version in the tags. and this is a really creative version, and i like it - both versions. i think you're just too attached to one version that you can't open your mind to other peoples creativity.

[FunkMisterNate15]

Don't judge! Im not really attached to the original, I just find this version annoying.

[monshito]

she sucks

[benrox26]

i know caleb followill would be ashamed

[FunkMisterNate15]

this version of this song is more annoying than rosie o' donald trying to eat a plate of hot wings.

[benrox26]

i KNOW thank you it makes the song sound so happy and it loses all its energy

[lalaeatsbeans]

to be honest

i absolutely love kings of leon

this is one of my fav songs of theirs

been following them for years so im not just randomly coming along and saying...ooh yeah this band is way good at kings of leon,

they have a completely different style...but i do like it. as a cover. but i preffer the origional.

[HugoTheMonkey]

Kings of Leon's bassist said this song was about a transvestite O_o

Putting it kindly...I dislike this cover... sorry

[Laron2219]

Congratz... You just ruined an amazing song!!!

[robmcglan]

No. Just No...

[monshito]

im agree with you drycounty12

[drycounty12]

she just ruined this song fuck that kings of leon are so much better

[daysleeper236]

The flutist looks like a blonde version of Alice from Twilight.

[monshito]

fuck this shit!!!!!!!!!!!

[xxxcashinxxx]

that is shocking.

[EfOneAddict]

Megan is smokin' hot and jiggly and that voice... Mmmmm.

I'm sure it's been commented on further down but the missing beat on the third clap is annoying.

[Everything987654]

That Flute Bit IS Very Odd!!!

[cecart]

You look bangin' Megan.

[ro1f]

great cover... unique

[benrox26]

the actual video is very good though besides the ugly singer

[cecart]

Wow. You suck.

[benrox26]

stick to originals guys your pretty much just ruined this song

[seanpdpd]

sickning

[DonomanOx]

its alright, the singers voice and music is too boring though!

[Darkhorse98]

Got to say, I was surprised and pleased when I heard this! I had never heard of The Bamboos, but I am a huge fan of Early KOL stuff. It has a great groove to the whole thing, and some awesome drumming. Plus... that singer chick is pretty hot... :D

[jasonleungis]

i just bought this at a record store in Melbourne!! Its Wicked!! "happy dancin'!!"

[OuchTaser]

Rad cover guys. Nice one! The Bamboos kick ass.

[howee86]

Ha! I love the chicks moves at 0:07, awesome song, way more preferred over the kol version. each to their own methinks!

[foz696]

You guys dissing this song gotta understand that the bamboos are a funk/soul band and that both songs are incomparable its like apples and oranges here and to say that this version just sucks isn't fair at all i personally think both versions are great tunes, props to KOL for making this and props for this cover,different people perceive the world differently and this is just an example of that

[foz696]

to put this more bluntly, stop hatin' and start appreciatin' YAAA DIG?

[MandyRRAh]

Right on, foz696!

[FckinLulz]

I'm digging this, personally.

Kings of Leon lack soul.

[slappop7]

???????????

lack soul

???????????

youd be hard pressed to find a band with more soul, go see them live, then see if you can still think they ahve no soul

[FckinLulz]

Way to assume I haven't seen them live.

I have.

Soul is different from noise and energy. No one can deny Kings of Leon have energy, but the soul isn't there.

Overuse of punctuation doesn't make your point any more effective.

[slappop7]

well they obviously didnt play knocked up when you saw them live, that song has, for lack of a better word,soul. and ill use as much p?unct,ua;tio""'n a!s !d l?i:"k:e

[FckinLulz]

One song doesn't define what a band is.

They may have a song with soul but that doesn't mean themselves as a band are soul-filled.

and it's like you say, you could use a better word: you're only using soul because you don't have a better word.

and gr8, you go ahead and do that. I'm glad to see you're going to debate this in a mature fashion.
