They looked so shocked at the end of this haha It's almost like this was the first time they'd played it through without a fault. Still an amazing cover that I'll continue to revisit for many years :) Thank you Kooks
The Lyrics in the song are good but the meaning of the Song itself is even better, basically its a run through of life from being a child to growing up learning lifes lessons and the Struggles we each have with our own Mentality as we face challenges in life pretty timeless 👌, not many song are like this, Great cover, Great band 😎
Only found this in 2021, I love it and listen to it all the time! Whenever I’m happy or sad, it always makes me feel better or appreciate my circumstances that, for a lot of other people in the world, is, unfairly, never within their reach. Love each other and help each other wherever you can! 🤘🏻❤️ life is hard but it’s easier together! Xxx
As many times as I have sang this song with random strangers at parties….. As well as this song aged over time even since the first time I heard it I listened to it again for the first time after I don’t know how many years recently…. All the times in college doing MGMT songs on “Audio Surf” (electric field is the best)….. Even after discovering “Like a version”during Covid….. (search Donald Glover like a version and thank me later if you don’t know that one) I STILL cannot believe I am just hearing this song! The kooks are amazing.
You were a child Crawling on your knees toward it Making momma so proud, But your voice is too loud We like to watch you laughing, You pick the insects off plants No time to think of consequences Control yourself Take only what you need from it A family of trees wanted To be haunted The water is warm But it’s sending me shivers A baby is born Crying out for attention The memories fade Like looking through a fogged mirror Decision to decisions are made And not bought, But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot. I guess not
I watched this right as my first college class was about to begin. Comparative religions, a gen-ed for my ecology studies. That was 2010. Time flies, enjoy your youth, folks!

"A baby is born, crying out for attention 💙" this song is dedicated to all the mothers out there I think, all of these moms that give everything to their child. This song is so beautiful.
Recuerdo cuando escuché esta canción por primera ves con the kooks Tenía 13 o 14 años Hoy tengo 27 años y se escucha igual de fresca como la primera vez Hermosa canción
RUclips algorithm has finally not taken me too the darkside of YT, but has instead found one of my favourite songs covered by one of my favourite bands, a cover I didn't even know about... I'm shocked. What a cover, on par with Of Monsters And Men's cover
Te adore desde el momento en que te escuche 😍😘 tenia casi 12 años cuando te escuche y empecé a buscarte .... y al fin te encontré 😍😘 Gracias por salvarme del raggaeton ..... Los amooo 😍😘
I just stumbled upon this gem in August 2021,man I wish ide heard them last year,it would've made covid just that bit more bearable,wata treat ofa band

Frodo and Sam? Are you kidding me? They're Merry and Pippin.

i want to like this comment but the 666 is too satisfying to ruin
2023 and this is still a banging cover of MGMT Kids 😍
The Kooks are class. Such an underrated band. Even with such notoriety they not near enough given the credit they deserve. My favourite band.
I know right. Underrated band covering other underrated band
They've been famous in NZ since Naive was released. Check out Sticky Fingers though, great band.
They are an ok poppy rock band. Lets not get carried away
A kooks lol its Kooks mate
Same as you.
2022, still the BEST cover of this song, right?? Chills...the kooks forever!

Yep
Other than the original, absolutely
I was here 11 years ago and I was told to be here again. Still amazing.
these hobbits are amazing
***** HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH
:)
***** ROTFL.....LOL...hahahahahha
Truly one of the funniest and on point back handed compliment/comment I've ever read.
I know they are awesome :) haha
Its been said before but After Frodo and Sam saved Middle Earth they started a band called the Kooks.
Love their music and esp this cover... :)
Lmao :))))
hobbits covering hobbits. Checkout the official video for "electric feel" to see what I mean.
His voice makes me nostalgic. Makes me think about memories I lost.
True there’s something like it digs out from past
2021 and still coming back to this great cover
2023 and we still love the Kooks!
I account for at least 5,000 of these 3.1 million hits. What a great cover...
im another 5,000 hits!! loves this tune
still listening?
@@TimothyYshurakhuno Absolutely!
stability 100%
I have a few thousand too lol
i'm a big fan of MGMT. But this cover is sooooooo good !!!
The way Luke enjoys Hugh playing without losing a bit of concentration. They're simply amazing.

The lead guitar player still messed up a few times tho
His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.

Great cover, Great band 😎
Just as amazing in 2020 as 2009. I havent listened to this in at least 8 years and im so happy i remembered it

i really can't get away from this version, whenever I feel like listening to real good music, I listen to this, it's great
9th grade me would be freaking out rn. I loved this band and this song
Been listening to this since High school 13 or 14 years ago. Cheers to all the homies that were there!
The harmonies in this cover!
I used to watch this literally everyday in middle school. Oh my god my heart its so good
If you love The Kooks, and you love MGMT, how could you NOT love this!
Never stop listening to this gorgeous cover.
stumbled across this yesterday and I can't stop listening to it.
11 years late. Thanks RUclips for recommend this
11 years. Are u a time traveler?

His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.

Those vocals are my goals
doida🤣
Good Version!!!..Grettings from Perú
First time watching this & all I can say is wow. These guys are mad talented!! Love it!
The best cover of this song, hands down. Reliving my youth with the Kooks 👌
One FIFA 09 artist playing a FIFA 09 song feels great
im so glad someone else thought of this lmao
@@guysfieri8900 your welcome

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward it
Making momma so proud,
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing,
You pick the insects off plants
No time to think of consequences
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanted
To be haunted
The water is warm
But it’s sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
The memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decision to decisions are made
And not bought,
But I thought this wouldn’t hurt a lot.
I guess not
This should be pinned at the top. Thanks!
Fucking fuck I love The Kooks. Everything they do is amazing. Their live stuff is just as amazing if not better than the stuff on their albums.
Kids is one of the most amazing songs from one of the most amazing bands. And now my favourite band has done a cover of it. i'm friggn' speechless. :)
I watched this right as my first college class was about to begin. Comparative religions, a gen-ed for my ecology studies. That was 2010. Time flies, enjoy your youth, folks!

Such a beautiful rendition. I never get tired of this!

One of the best covers ever
a musica ficou linda na voz dele, 😍😍
é legal aquelas desafinadas propositais dele!!
De que jeito, eles conseguiram estragar a música 🙈🤷
The intro + verse is F#m, D, A, E. I forget how the rest goes, but I do remember that.
lol i saw that too.
I believe it's G#/E not a standard Emaj
Te adore desde el momento en que te escuche 😍😘 tenia casi 12 años cuando te escuche y empecé a buscarte .... y al fin te encontré 😍😘
Gracias por salvarme del raggaeton .....
