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.
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
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 !
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.
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.
"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!
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 !
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
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

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
I first discovered The Kooks with this performance and immediatly fell in love with them. Still coming back to this video 14 years later
I watch this once a year.
So much nostalgia watching this. Back in that time right before all the phones and social media
Smartphones certainly turned society to shit.
When Luke first stands up Hugh just looks at him like "are we seriously about to stand up."
Lmfao
This must have been so amazing for everyone involved. How awesome.
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.
Still one of my favorite channels on all of TH-cam. Amazing artists, amazing raw performances
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
2) Check out "Me at the zoo". April 2005. Yikes!

2024 and I knew it would be a classic.
I love the british accent.
I love the guitars.
I love the text.
I love the way they are.
I love the kooks.
This vid is vintage AF. And this band is awesome.

That's what I'm saying, is that candid?
Keep being so good, even in the 1080p and 4K Era. (2019 Check)

This is so legendary...
His voice sounds so good. One of the best live versions on this song I've seen.
Old but gold
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 . . .
13 years later and still gold!
always great coming back to this video. the way they were genuinely stoked after playing is what makes this video special

I don't think ive ever seen a video describe 'indie' like this one does in my life, so so good
Still amazing in 2016

Kooks for life! Brilliant songwriting! I'm a songwriter, they inspire me more than the Beatles as of late.
Yes The kooks is life! 😇😁

Thank You Blogotheque and The Kooks♥
Gives me goose bumps even in 2019.

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!
