Jesus ive been listening to this version for effing years and still just 10m goddamnnnnnnnnnnnn Best version ever, im surprised i dont see my comment from 15 years ago
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
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
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 😎
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!
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.
"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.
The amount of beauty that is created when two human beings decide to strum a bunch of steel strings tied on a wooden box, in time with each other and make sounds from their vocal chords. No sir, Robots can't do this or will they?
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
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

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!

Nigga I was 8, how far you tryna take me back??
Ismail Haque hahaha man I feel old now.
So fucking true man, this is the kinda shit people would be watching on their blackberry phones
@@BPBrutalPenguin or an actual computer
His voice makes me nostalgic. Makes me think about memories I lost.
True there’s something like it digs out from past

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

Frodo and Sam? Are you kidding me? They're Merry and Pippin.
+Kevin Gama you haven't heard of the kooks?
hahahaha perfect
That’s what I was gonna say. xD
@@kaillewelyn-berry650 you haven't heard of dopplegangers or Lord of the rings?
i want to like this comment but the 666 is too satisfying to ruin
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.
If you love The Kooks, and you love MGMT, how could you NOT love this!
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 lead guitar player still messed up a few times tho
my favorite cover ever! his voice is so uniqueee
stumbled across this yesterday and I can't stop listening to it.
Just as amazing in 2020 as 2009. I havent listened to this in at least 8 years and im so happy i remembered it
same here :)
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. :)

Just found back this from a 14+ years playlist, can’t believe it’s still up and still so great ! Thanks a lot !

i'm a big fan of MGMT. But this cover is sooooooo good !!!

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!

Can’t stop listening
Who is here in 2025?
Me 🫡
Yes!

His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.
Seems like no one can do a bad cover of this song.
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 😎
i can’t count how many times i’ve come back to this video 😍
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!
Good Version!!!..Grettings from Perú
a musica ficou linda na voz dele, 😍😍
é legal aquelas desafinadas propositais dele!!
De que jeito, eles conseguiram estragar a música 🙈🤷
this song makes me cry 😔 you're really good guys 💜
This gives me such nostalgia
One of the best covers ever
One FIFA 09 artist playing a FIFA 09 song feels great
im so glad someone else thought of this lmao
@@guysfieri8900 your welcome

I'm discovering this cover 12 years after and that's still amazing...
Same!
The best interpretation of that song that Ive ever heard! Amazing!
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.
One of my favorite covers ever
Love this cover version !!!
That cover is so freaking good.. GOD!
2024 checking in. Still diggin it.
I have been listening to the kooks for two days and now I am in love
Was a teenager when I came across them , being 28 and still loving their music
that fuckin accent ahhhhh
never have understood this song to its fullest until this very moment in my life god bless my parents
"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.
ΔLEXBΔNZ song has almost nothing to do with that however lovely message, cheers!
Not sure how or why anyone would ever thumbsdown an acoustic Triple J Like A Version....well done.
This unlocked a memory
Im in love with this cover 😍😍
than why don't you marry it?
+Jordan Boggs Classic.
lol
So chilled isn't it!
One of my favourite covers 👌
best thing ever created
Best Kids' cover so far ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥
The amount of beauty that is created when two human beings decide to strum a bunch of steel strings tied on a wooden box, in time with each other and make sounds from their vocal chords. No sir, Robots can't do this or will they?
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
It sounds like an entirely new song! I love MGMT but this version is amazing
A great indie band... covering a great indie band
This is sooooo dope, I keep coming back to it.
Can’t believe that it took me 12 years to “find” this. What a cover
Escuchando este temaso en plena pandemia. Octubre 2020. La Rioja Argentina
One does not simply get more indie than The Kooks.
Foals: Hold my beer
I see indien kids in my dreams 😴
@@MuSiCBoYaS LMAO FOALS⁉️
@@MuSiCBoYaS that is not even Indy music lol
The Libertines basically defined the genre
Amo esta versión
