These guys get me every time. They seem to cover songs that I become obsessed with, this rarely happens. This is one of those songs that I love. I heard the lyrics more clearly through Luke Pritchard's accentuation too...love his voice. These guys also do a great rendition of Kids by MGMT, but you already knew that.
Metronomy and The Kooks are easily my two favourite bands! How the hell have I only found this song today? This is without a doubt my new favourite song.
You're up and you'll get down You never running from this town Kinda think you said You'll never get anything better than this 'Cause you're going round in a circle And everyone knows you're trouble 'Cause you read it in a big book And now you're giving me the look look Just remember how we shook shook And all the things we took took This town is the oldest friend of mine We're up and we get down We're always running round this town And to think they said We'd never make anything better than this 'Cause we're always in small circles And everyone thinks we're trouble We didn't read it in the big book And now we're giving you the look look Just remember how we shook shook And all the things we took took This town is the oldest friend of mine
they always cover my fav bands, which makes me love them even moreeee the kooks were my first musical love!! and still, they are m favs along the strypes ;D but the first will always be the first!! random comment, ik but they are so good!
Id argue this cover is more in depth than the original. I love the original for the distortion and all over the place vibes but this cover is just so vocally pleasing
Actually, I got that wrong. It isn't a second guitar, there's only one. So there is a rhythm guitar in the original. And the only lines that have been changed in the vocals are 'shook, shook' and 'this town is the oldest friend of mine' - hardly a massive change, especially considering that they themselves are very similar to the original. Watch Ben Howard's version of 'Call Me Maybe' or Everything Everything's 'What's My Name' - that's how to do an imaginative cover.
Why does everyone pull apart how the words are crafted rather than the idea or concept? Hey assholes, this is RUclips, not English class. Agree or disagree, but do not attack the words, grow a pair and argue the idea. While we are on the topic, this is better the original because it is more rustic.
This is a ROCKING cover. The KOOKS. Seriously cool. But that's just me. The whole point of a cover, to me, IS to put somewhat of a signature change (however small or unusual). I'd be happy to do this cover with my band. Hang on, come to think of it... Peace: Dubliner in NYC lol
Just was geekin over the original. Now I'm finding this cover by a band that I've loved for forever! In love....
X2 indeed
This is better than the original!

a trick: you can watch movies at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching loads of movies recently.
@Pierce Nikolai definitely, I've been watching on kaldroStream for since november myself :D
This just made me so happy that i held my chest for a moment there

His voice is the sound of my teenage years
This cover is just perfect !
You're up and you'll get down
You never running from this town
Kinda think you said
You'll never get anything better than this
'Cause you're going round in a circle
And everyone knows you're trouble
'Cause you read it in a big book
And now you're giving me the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town is the oldest friend of mine
We're up and we get down
We're always running round this town
And to think they said
We'd never make anything better than this
'Cause we're always in small circles
And everyone thinks we're trouble
We didn't read it in the big book
And now we're giving you the look look
Just remember how we shook shook
And all the things we took took
This town is the oldest friend of mine
Este cover me da vida :)
Usually I'm not that fond of covers but I like ones by the Kooks. They always manage to make an interpretation that is distinctly their own.
they always cover my fav bands, which makes me love them even moreeee
the kooks were my first musical love!! and still, they are m favs along the strypes ;D
but the first will always be the first!!
random comment, ik but they are so good!
The sad thing about covers is that people are going to compare them to the originals instead of enjoying them.
+Pinguenella Dude this is an amazing cover.
Theo Schafers yeah, I love it, but I just hate how everyone keeps on comparing it to the original.
i know what you mean.
That´s true, the kooks are a really great band, and their covers are awesome
sad thing is that's cover...
perfect cover !!!!
Magnifique reprise ! Je sur love.
It's a great cover & a great band.
Keep up the good work
THE KOOKS AND METRONOMY IM IN TEARS THIS IS ART

Nice cover
Ola me encanta la musica
buen cover...
Metronomy >
***** they're just trying to catch that tidal wave Metronomy made
***** that said, the steal string instrumentation is quite nice.
Sam Frons the vocals don't fit though.
+Bob30737 you have no idea what your talking about obviously
this is better then the original:D great cover guys!!
bit of a stretch
bahahahah okay smart ass! :P Jesper Locher
lovely tay of course you can edit the original post from 8 months ago, and make it look like Jesper Locher can't read properly... :D

+Joseph Falgoust III than
ECUADOR !!! :)
The default speed changed for 1.25 and it don’t sound nothing bad, in 0.75 sounds trippy recommended!
best song ever for breakfast !
No hay cover que no se escuche lindo con THE KOOKS♥
they just own every song they cover :D
was this recent? this is really really good
Me encanta que grupos que me gustan se versionen entre ellos ^3^
las 2 versiones son muy buenas
good job..
excelente!
Super!!!
Coincido contigo, al final termino escuchando más los covers de ellos que los originales
Necesito descargarla D:
Very good ❤
se le llama indie rock porque es un subgenero ya definido y por eso se sigue usando.
I don’t listen to any of the kooks original songs, but they have a few decent covers.
This is a ROCKING cover.
The KOOKS. Seriously cool. But that's just me.
The whole point of a cover, to me, IS to put somewhat of a signature change (however small or unusual).
I'd be happy to do this cover with my band. Hang on, come to think of it...

2017??
Amo a The Kooks pero de ninguna manera es mejor que la original, buen cover y ya!
just as amazing as the original
1:39 I wish i had your dance moves, Luke!
can someone tell me how to make my keyboard sound like that??? 2:45
Slow attack, long sustain and the right soundwave
enjoyed it
Zajebisty cover❤
Le The Cover de l'année pour moi :p

It's a shame that The Sun got this opportunity. Regardless, great band great cover great tune great times :)
