Just straight up slayed it!! Checked shirt, beat up old cap and didn't even have to take the chewy out of his mouth! Proof you don't need glitz and Glamour to be a musical magician!
This is why I love triple J. They're there for people like this. They support music and in return they get to produce this kind of music. Not the horse shit that gets pumped out on commerical radio.
Tommy's voice is incredible, but the way the two acoustic guitars pull together and feel like an entire ensemble is great. This performance never get's old, picking out little details every time I listen to it. I'll be coming back for years still.
I know I can't be the only one who absolutely loves DMA's version of Believe! (more than Cher's version lol). I came across these guys on the internet during covid lockdown & I've been a fan ever since! I wish nothing but the best for DMA's! Cheers from a fan in the USA!!
The countdown sent me down the rabbit hole rewatching all the best ones and catching ones I've missed this and sofi tukkers chasing cars are actually 2 of my favourite songs ever.. coming from a metal core & hip hop & punk rock/rock fan for most of my music
this is absolutely perfect from the way they're dressed the way his upper lip curls in as he sings The Chewy sitting idley in his mouth his voice just lord it's a tie between this and just a gents like a version
I must've watched this 1000 times by now. Seen them perform it live twice in the past month as well and it's never anything less than stunning. Unbelievable band!
such a shame when they were at their peak 2017-2021 they never played believe live, they still have some good newer tunes but have stagnated in popularity in the UK. For example Radio X never ever play them, not a loss perhaps but for the genre of music not being on the biggest radio and media resource for indie bands in the main country of their popularity is a big loss they need to correct i think
Les Weston I listened to this for the first time 4 days ago and something drags me back to listen to it every day since. Most amazing vocals. Cher probably made millions off the song which is crap in comparison to this version.
Dud, how can this guy have this fucking vocal power without even showing the least bit of effort and still chewing a gum. Wow, congrats guys, pretty sweet shit
Thank you to my 21 year old son who sent the link to his 52 year old Dad....WOW what a fantastic performance, now a BIG fan! Age holds no bounderies for listening to great musicians - thank you, and if your ever your in the UK, please share the dates!
Cheers Hannah, caught the dates after I posted the message...hacked off I missed them! Glad you had a great time, as for for DMA's, catch you next time!

Best proper "like a version" in a long time. A lot of them just play the song the same without changing it up. This was completely different! Love his voice! Absolutely hooked!!!
The intro sound played at the start of every single 'like a version' film clip is more violent than a dyson airblade in an airport with a hangover... None the less, excellent tune
I am guilty of being a middle age man that has lost his way, I’ve spent so many years just spotifying and going to concert gigs I’ve lost all connection with good local live music, for shame on me. But somehow found this and has started my love for the J’s again, After this COVID shite I feel like the live music seen in Melbourne is going to explode again like it was in the 80’s.
I've listened to this 100 times. I wake up and fall asleep with it stuck in my head. His persona, chewing gum like Barbra Streisand used to do while recording, the position of his arms and hands is odd and seems to show a vulnerability. I've listened to some of their original stuff. Very cool.
Dear DMA’s, At the beginning of this year, on the 27th of January, my community lost one of your greatest fans, Lara Auton. A daughter, sister and best friend to many, her life was ended way too short. Growing up, your songs documented milestones in her life. Lara had planned to come to Groove in the Moo Maitland this year, just like every other year. ‘Believe’ had touched Lara in a profound way. Your songs represented her in a way that she felt no words could. Together, your songs have allowed us to laugh, cry, accept, sing and dance. She would be honoured if the DMA’s could dedicate their song, ‘Believe’ on the 27th of April, for her marking Lara’s 3 months.
My god, his vocals are tremendously beautiful. This version is so raw and earthy, deserving of Triple J''s #1 Like A Version, Even whilst he's chewing gum... He's a gifted vocalist.
yep I put like 70 bucks on this to win. Defo #1 like a version. I know it's crude and shit that Oz betting company's are exploiting even JJJ . I took advantage.
The most unrewarded And underrated voice out there his range and softness is staggering the whole band is amazing they truly need to be way more appreciated and be in the like light this is real artistry amazing absolutely amazing
DMA's look like they've just finished painting a piece at Macquarie Fields Train Station and are about to score a bag of shard on tick off their mate EskiOner down at East Hills for a big night ahead at an underground rave out in St. Mary's. But, like most dealers, EskiOner inconveniently wasn't at home and told them to wait a few hours until he got back... So, with a bit of time to kill and growing bored of the amount of Aussie hip-hop and Gabber on their stolen iPhone playlists, they decided to pop in to an Erskinevill music shop, rack a couple of guitars and head up to the JJJ studios to staunch Richard Kingsmill in to allowing them to record an amazing version of Cher's 'Believe'. Matt and Alex were rolled immediately afterwards... But, no one cared, because of how insanely talented the DMA's crew proved themselves to be.
MrBladezt Oh this is fucking classic, you're right on brother. They went on to have a fuckin clanger of a night waking up the next afternoon with no memory of their soulful rendition recorded on a national radio station until their neighbour Gavin (who still owes Matt half a pack of durries) played it loud on his Nan's stereo.
Wow! I love triple J especially like a virgin, some of the all time best covers ever heard. These artists do so much justice to the songs they choose! Keep it up guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Love from Scotland. From a Dj Musiico and a grown up 50 year old!! Amazing . 80s 90s You have cracked it again... Please keep this genre. Simply amazing.
I heard this years ago, and I still come back to this version every time I am feeling down. Such grit and feeling. Such an amazing performance. It applies to more than love and the texture of his voice is unparalleled. Its been a few years so felt I should finally say something.
Incredible cover! Looks that scene in a movie where the stage hand sings when he thinks nobody is listening, but secretly there's a music scout hiding in the back, bemoaning their lack of new talent. Erik they ran up to win the competition, top prize is exactly the right amount to save the orphanage.
I keep coming back to this one way or another. Life moments and emotions change, but i still think this is the best cover version of any song I've heard. Silky, reinventive, and standout. So good.

Awesome !!!
it is shit
Reminds me me of drunken mums and abusive dad's 😕 perks of growing up in the 90s😅
Brick laid.
Face of a bricklayer, voice of an angel.
Dan Turner hahaha ffs
😂😂
😂😂😂😂
That's so rude I love it
Fucking dead!
5 years on I still come back to this for some goosebumps. Feels like the first time I heard it every time.
With you on that.
Same x
I feel that.
Same
Right there with ya
He's.... he’s chewing a bubble gum while singing like an Angel damn
M S that’s the eccies
I heard it’s good to chew gum because it moves saliva around, might help keep his mouth and throat wet
@@jakeklutts864 When I drank a lot of beer I would chew gum. Surprisingly good combination
Right

whiteflour1 fuck oath mate
Joshua Robbins Right on! It's almost comical how that voice comes out of that guy!
Mac demarco is another good example, he records on tape like the old days and plays beat up guitars, most rugged guy but his music is amazing
To be fair, that is a Burberry shirt.
These guys look like they we're painting trains one night in Campbeltown and though ay nah lets make a band. and look how fucking good this is!!!
the acustic guitarist looks like he'll punch your face right in. how bad ass is this cover.
Dylan Lewis they are all really nice boys
The guitarist with the hat looks like he should be on Fat Pizza
I'm pretty sure the dude is also singing with a piece of gum in his mouth too! lol
Hi Dylan, is there going to be a Recovery reunion?
Tommy's voice is incredible, but the way the two acoustic guitars pull together and feel like an entire ensemble is great. This performance never get's old, picking out little details every time I listen to it. I'll be coming back for years still.
it is crap. Like a eunuch Gallagher brother.
One of the best Like a Versions I've seen in a very long time.
Luke Boland nice beard man
Luke Boland I agree. Can't stop watching.
legit probably the best like a version cover.
Spanish Sahara, Tear Drop, Crave You are also one of the best in my opinion.
100%
I also think Art vs Science doing enter sandman was orgasmic too
+Grizzly Dave85 Oh man, how fucking good was that!
yup!!!!!!
I know I can't be the only one who absolutely loves DMA's version of Believe! (more than Cher's version lol). I came across these guys on the internet during covid lockdown & I've been a fan ever since! I wish nothing but the best for DMA's! Cheers from a fan in the USA!!
Probably justified now 😊
Check out the cover from okay kaya
@@GroundationOnlyAdam lambert at chers Kennedy centre induction trumps almost any male vocal ever
@@rileybruhns4288 ok kaya is female :)
This has to go down in history as one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded
Absolfuknluteley xx
Yes, it is one of the best covers I have heard in my entire life. Maybe even the best.
One of the most beautiful covers at the very least
#1 in the hottest 100 of like a versions... What a performance! Congrats!
The countdown sent me down the rabbit hole rewatching all the best ones and catching ones I've missed this and sofi tukkers chasing cars are actually 2 of my favourite songs ever.. coming from a metal core & hip hop & punk rock/rock fan for most of my music
Snooze fest
Deservedly so, it's superb
I had money on it 😊
At 58 yrs. old I still come back to this version for comfort,
Beautiful work young men, way better than Cher's version
this is absolutely perfect
from the way they're dressed
the way his upper lip curls in as he sings
The Chewy sitting idley in his mouth
his voice just lord it's a tie between this and just a gents like a version
When you've got a gig at 1pm and Millwall away at 3pm
😂
This should be top comment 🤣
I'm crying... thanks for this man!!
This comment. 😂
MILLLLLLLLL
I must've watched this 1000 times by now. Seen them perform it live twice in the past month as well and it's never anything less than stunning.
Unbelievable band!
u said it captain !

Who else keeps coming back !! Best cover by far !!
Lee Weston more people need to react to this damn version it needs to be known by the worlddd
my lullaby.. 💚✅
I do, absolutely brilliant 👍
Les Weston I listened to this for the first time 4 days ago and something drags me back to listen to it every day since. Most amazing vocals.
Cher probably made millions off the song which is crap in comparison to this version.
All the time!
They just made me love a song I couldn't stand before
I can’t believe this was 7 years ago! Feels like yesterday that I heard this live on my way to work. Time gets away from us.
Cher makes my skin crawl. This is a great cover. Love this guy's voice.
Dud, how can this guy have this fucking vocal power without even showing the least bit of effort and still chewing a gum. Wow, congrats guys, pretty sweet shit
It's so great to hear a vocalist with such clear vocals 👌 Amazing!
Is there an echo effect going on here? I seem to be picking up on one. Would like to hear his voice without that “extra” whatever it is.
@@carolhagerty4288 a lot more than just echo added, totally over produced
While having a gum in his mouth, well done :D
Bro he has a super high level of pitch correction.
THIS IS BLOODY AMAZING
That's an understatement
Thank you to my 21 year old son who sent the link to his 52 year old Dad....WOW what a fantastic performance, now a BIG fan! Age holds no bounderies for listening to great musicians - thank you, and if your ever your in the UK, please share the dates!
Ken Baldwin Hey mate you should check out the rest of the like if a versions, quite a few English bands on there.

They were in the UK a few weeks back, saw them in Portsmouth. they were awesome :)

Anyone who can do Cher justice deserves respect.
Respect to you, my dude.
Cher is a dude
11 million views. Still one of the most underrated bands
Not an underrated like a version 😊 been my top 5 since I heard taking taane use somebody
Just saw them live in Grimsby, UK, and I cant believe how amazing they were! Killing it
They literally sound the exact same live as their prerecorded tracks 🤯
Best proper "like a version" in a long time. A lot of them just play the song the same without changing it up. This was completely different! Love his voice! Absolutely hooked!!!
Still one of my faves on LAV........😍
Imagine having a voice like that man, would just belt out tune after tune all day everyday.
I like how he's all chill and chewing gum while he's killin' it on the mic
I love how perfectly beautifully he sings with chewing gum in his mouth!! Talented man! Love the DMA'S!!! I have since I heard them back in 2016!!
The intro sound played at the start of every single 'like a version' film clip is more violent than a dyson airblade in an airport with a hangover...
None the less, excellent tune
I am guilty of being a middle age man that has lost his way,
I’ve spent so many years just spotifying and going to concert gigs I’ve lost all connection with good local live music, for shame on me.
But somehow found this and has started my love for the J’s again,
After this COVID shite I feel like the live music seen in Melbourne is going to explode again like it was in the 80’s.
geez we can only hope!!!
Get a life maybe
What an amazing version!
I have so much respect for these guys. Real raw Australian legends. This was brilliant!
that voice oh my god, so beautiful ✨ i can't believe this is already existing for almost 6 years and i'm only seeing it now
OMG GOOSEBUMPS AS SOON AS HE STARTED SINGING.
I’m so glad I stumbled upon this.
I’m with you! Can’t get enough! Brilliant cover!
Can't even blow bubbles with gum and yet tommy can spit pure fire with it easily
Hottest 100 of Like A Version getting announced has me looking back at my no. 1 all over again
I've listened to this 100 times. I wake up and fall asleep with it stuck in my head. His persona, chewing gum like Barbra Streisand used to do while recording, the position of his arms and hands is odd and seems to show a vulnerability. I've listened to some of their original stuff. Very cool.
You know it’s good when the artist just does it with no effort , spot on
Cher is legendary, even a covered version of her song still gets number 6, kudos to DMA'S for an awesome interpretation.
This is without a doubt the best cover in the history of covers.
This is a stupendous cover but I would throw in Fiona Apple singing Whole Of The Moon as one of the best ever covers
Look at Kasie Chambers doing lose yourself or Cold Chisels version of Wild thing. Top shelf
Also their cover of Better Be Home Soon 😊
@@Mugsy0407kirin❤J callinans cover of that is amazing also
Feeling like you called it?

I've had this on loop for like an hour, now. I mean, damn. That man's voice is gold. Pure.F'n.Gold.
He is extremely talented. Can’t tell you how many times I come back to this cover on a weekly basis… 🤍
OMG, this made my heart melt. What a cover, what a voice. I need more of this guy.
My god, his vocals are tremendously beautiful. This version is so raw and earthy, deserving of Triple J''s #1 Like A Version, Even whilst he's chewing gum... He's a gifted vocalist.
I literally cannot sing with gum in my mouth. It drives me absolutely insane. Don't know how he does it. Much respect.
@@patrickputnam1417 That thing would have come tumbling outta my mouth halfway through the first verse.
I looked up their band and didn’t find any of the songs that great. His voice is above and beyond, he needs an above and beyond writer to go with it.
yep I put like 70 bucks on this to win. Defo #1 like a version. I know it's crude and shit that Oz betting company's are exploiting even JJJ . I took advantage.
Believe by Cher is one of my favourite songs of all time and they did it so much justice! Absolutely amazing!
You mean so much better.
Way better
Still one of the best of the best.
Piece of chewy should be in the Australian museum
Tommy should get a sponsor from a chewy manufacturer!😊
5 years on and still my favourite like a version.
The Station 105.4 Tauranga (NZ) started playing this about a month ago........ Can't believe I've never heard it before...... Absolute gold......
I used all my data watching this clip over and over. These guys are bloody unreal
Cameron Horn me rn.
Cam Horn Not all heroes wear capes
It's downloadable content, just get it for offline
Download it lol
The most unrewarded
And underrated voice out there his range and softness is staggering the whole band is amazing they truly need to be way more appreciated and be in the like light this is real artistry amazing absolutely amazing
What rock have I been living under to not have known about this voice of an angel?! 💕 Good grief this is awesome!
He has an 'Extra' special voice.
Michael450045 it's funny coz he was chewing gum and extra is a brand of gum - dick who ruins every joke
._.
Michael450045 oh I thought you were trying to say he looked mentally hanicapped and I would have agreed...
he'd get more chicks than you pal
Sam Narramore would agree with that mate
Fully deserves to be the winner, still gets me every time!
That is acoustic cover perfection!

I like how you copied and pasted the comment from Facebook and posted it on TH-cam aswell to see if the same attention could be acquired, Good try.
Mike Ross Actually, I couldn't find the original comment, so I had to go off a screenshot, so no copying and pasting ever occurred
MrBladezt you got busted mate 😂
This whole thing was pretty good but staunch Richard kingsmill into letting them play was fucking gold.
Cher sung it...DMAS owned it 💚
I brush my teeth and clean my gaff too this masterpiece 7 DAYS A WEEK 😎
No matter how hard I try
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
So sad that you're leaving
Takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough now
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
I can't do that
Yeah there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need your love to feel strong
And after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough now
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough now
I don't need you any more
I don't need you any more
I don't need you any more

This entire cover is pure gold, but when he comes back at the 2:40 mark... dang son.
On my birthday in 2016 one of my absolute favourite bands of the last ten years congratulations DMAs on the like a version #1
Slayed that fellas. One of Australia's best bands at the moment.
Wow! I love triple J especially like a virgin, some of the all time best covers ever heard. These artists do so much justice to the songs they choose! Keep it up guys 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Anita Evans it's like a version btw, not like a virgin
Honest to god, first concert was the believe tour. I'm a dude who fucking loves Cher.
This changed my life and appreciation for the song!
Thank you
Love from Scotland. From a Dj Musiico and a grown up 50 year old!!
Amazing . 80s 90s
You have cracked it again...
Please keep this genre.
Simply amazing.
Still my favorite thing to listen to with a drink and remember my travels down under 😊👍
This, and Nothing But Thieves covering: "What Can I Do If The Fire Goes Out?" by Gang of Youths are the 2 best Like A Version covers ever 😍
And Denzel Curry's Bulls on Parade cover
Agreed
Sticky Fingers covering "Delete" from DMA's is also amazing
Churches cover of Love by Kendrick Lamar is so dope too.
Chvrches 'Love' cover and Childish Gambino's 'So Into You' are my favorites. this is now added to the list
didn't know i was waiting for this till i heard it
Sheri Lavender same here
Sheri Lavender sooo true
Great comment :)
❤️❤️❤️
I love the singers posture. He looks so vulnerable and lost.
I did NOT expect that voice. Holy shit. Beautiful.
i'm speachless his voice is beautiful
i've replayed this video so many times; still mindblown
triple j, This made me so happy! I liked and subscribed!
The moral of this story for me is never judge a book by it’s cover. Justice was done, I applaud you guys
*Wow didn't think I would get so many chills and so emotional from listening to the mastered cover of this huge 1998 dance hit* 👍😭👏
I will always come back to this classic.
The 3 lads work so well together is like Heaven going in ears and soothing my soul. cheers boys keep up the epic tracks👍🤟✊✊🏽
Fantastic, angelic voice and the guitar is beautiful
This is SO GOOD! I'm gonna Cher it to my page.
I'm obsessed with this version
Same 😂
one of the best ones all year!!! listening on repeat
The voice of an Angel and the face of a Bricklayer
Wish I had found this earlier....its truly tremendous
This needs to be in the top 100 of the decade no question
correct
This band is amazing & he has an unreal voice! 🙏
I challenge anyone to find a better cover of any song, ever. absolutely unreal
A Day To Remember - Since You Been Gone
Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

Disturbed - Sound of silence
His voice hit me so hard
Don't judge a book by its cover.... Is very applicable. Simply brilliant
I haven't been this impressed in a long time
Absolutely amazing! Holy Jesus, i cried listening to this song. Makes the original version usual!
I heard this years ago, and I still come back to this version every time I am feeling down. Such grit and feeling. Such an amazing performance. It applies to more than love and the texture of his voice is unparalleled. Its been a few years so felt I should finally say something.
Edit: This for me feels like a conversation with myself about grief (my mom passing) and moving on and my internal dialogue about moving on.
couldn't agree more - a timeless version
Incredible cover! Looks that scene in a movie where the stage hand sings when he thinks nobody is listening, but secretly there's a music scout hiding in the back, bemoaning their lack of new talent.
