The tune is really cool and the setting too. But the real hook here is pretty obvious for most heterosexual males. I had my own glory days, but nothing quite like this :D
Since no one has noticed it in the 9 years that this video has existed: very difficult to play guitar without a shoulder strap while walking; big props to Hugh Harris.
@@andrewphillips6241 this came before the iphone bruh. No 720p video, no instagram, early stages of facebook... By today's standards, this is vintage af...
I'd also like to add that, in spite of the apparent simplicity of filming this type of video, this was the most FUN video since the inception of videos (unfortunately I'm old enough to seen the first ones). Who else (with a big budget or not in today's world) would have thought of this. Genius!! AND effective. Great stroke by the band and their management.
The part that makes this so great is when they emerge from behind the merc jeep and the people are looking at them as if they are just some random people/students walking down the street doing a cover of this song, then you see them look 2/3 times and can't belive it's actually the Kooks walking down the road for reel. Epic, ha !
omg i am shocked for several reasons 1) this is so good, pure expression, such a human experience 2) did youtube exist 16 years ago? wow 3) the fans singing gives me some beatles vibes and it's so wholesome
It's funny how he approaches the crowd with uncertainty. Then at 2:35 you can see he is contemplating whether to enter the screams. At the end he was happy to have done it. hahaha. Priceless.
Two days ago I heard them at their first concert in Peru. I've waited for this for so long. I remember coming back from school and listening to this song. It's been 12 years of this. Thank you guys.
"the English band the Kooks began playing their hit "ooh la" in a small street of Paris. Then, suddenly, a craze." the sweetest of kooks vids and one of the best i've seen, it's true paris life, fans and affections and that's the best!
Absolute quality... big fan of the kooks... because they just play anywhere, anytime for anyone... OOooo la.. she was such a good girl to me... I can feel a cover coming on... lol
HOLY CRAP!!!! Wow! This is amazing! Hahahahaha, I secretly hope that one day Luke's gonna enter in my room and start singing Ooh La. This is my dream !
I seen these live when they were supporting Noel Gallagher, they smashed it and had the place bouncing! Come back to watch this at 2am ffs. Happy new year everyone.
I understand both reactions. The point of the filming is that people want to capture this phenomenale moment that struck them. But it's true; the moment itself is ruined by it. What a joy that LaBlogotheque does the filming for us, and we only have to sit back and enjoy the moment...!

2020 and i’m still hung up on this

2021 is still listening :)
2022 and still love this video
@@johngabriel2103 Same here!

Random night of 2021 and I come back to this video. It’s been sooooo many years… but still so amazing. It brings back so many memories…
this is one of the coolest and most down to earth things ive ever seen a musician/ group do. this makes me love them so much more
So much nostalgia watching this. Back in that time right before all the phones and social media
Smartphones certainly turned society to shit.
I first discovered The Kooks with this performance and immediatly fell in love with them. Still coming back to this video 14 years later

Not really all that hard
+Daniel Garduno it IS annoying to do.......
And it s not a full size one...
It's extremely hard if the strap has a twist in it tho ;)
look how high he wears it. shouldnt be too hard for him lol
Damn!!!! It makes me cry... I miss those days, i was 13 years old, now im 27 and i still love it.
same!
Same 😭😭😭😭
If you were 13 then you'll be 30 now.
I watch this once a year.
Still one of my favorite channels on all of TH-cam. Amazing artists, amazing raw performances
This must have been so amazing for everyone involved. How awesome.
This vid is vintage AF. And this band is awesome.
4 years ago. So vintage
@@andrewphillips6241 it is vintage now mate, or just wait another 10 years

When Luke first stands up Hugh just looks at him like "are we seriously about to stand up."
Lmfao

I love the british accent.
I love the guitars.
I love the text.
I love the way they are.
I love the kooks.
2022 I´m still watching this dudes. We ain´t young anymore.
Even less young now. Coincidentally on the Kooks playlist I am listening to the next song but one is their cover of Young Folks. Check it out . . .
I am so happy I discovered this band. I am in love with them.

Keep being so good, even in the 1080p and 4K Era. (2019 Check)

These take away shows are surreal.
Kooks for life! Brilliant songwriting! I'm a songwriter, they inspire me more than the Beatles as of late.
Yes The kooks is life! 😇😁
more than beatles? just can be a joke hahaha
His voice sounds so good. One of the best live versions on this song I've seen.
2024 and still comin' back to this
I don't think ive ever seen a video describe 'indie' like this one does in my life, so so good
You are dead on, one of the best take away shows ever, and that's saying a lot.
always great coming back to this video. the way they were genuinely stoked after playing is what makes this video special
13 years later and still gold!
hugh you are a guitar hero !
luke you have a unbelievable voice!!
guitar sounded so good
Даже через 17 лет это шикарно, потрясающе, гениально!!!!
The Kooks навсегда!!!
Ooh la
Hermoine Granger at 2:49
That's what I'm saying, is that candid?

Pqp!! 17 anos?! Eu voltava da escola ouvindo isso... ainda fico obcecado por esse violão... obrigado The Kooks.
I actually love this version much more than the original lol (save for the screaming teenagers)
Exactly this, haha.
I think I would have fainted being that close to them! lucky lucky kids. the kooks are amaaaaaaaaaazing.
2:50 he kept staring at the gurl who went 'sorry' when she got in his way. lol. she got so shy and blushed
Whos the pretty lady
This video is the reason I started playing guitar.
Thank You Blogotheque and The Kooks♥

Alejo Conejo Es asombroso :)
God, I wish I could just turn around and there would be Luke and Hugh singing "Ooh La" right in my face.
Great song. Great band. Filmed with a potato.
This comment made my day! xD SO True
It was recorded in 2006 in that time TH-cam didn't even support 480p videos, HD was unimaginable. :/
I quite like potatoes 🥔
Great potato!
