these hobbits were originally in the fellowship of the ring, but they got kicked out when the party camped out at Woodstock for 3 days to listen to them play.
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 😎

@@seanpower660 Haha "bs electronic fake track" is a pretty interesting sentiment. What on earth do you think makes it fake? How was it made any differently than the Kooks rendition? I mean to be honest, the Kooks would be the only ones you could potentially call fakers...they're taking an already completed track, entirely composed by MGMT, and simply translating it to different instruments. Of course that's not actually "fake," it's merely a cover. But it makes far more sense than calling the original "fake."
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
That's just it, music is a preferential thing and people interpret things differently. I do like that you didn't bash the band because you don't agree with the hivemind though. You are a proper youtube citizen!

2023 and this is still a banging cover of MGMT Kids 😍
I was here 11 years ago and I was told to be here again. Still amazing.
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.
2023, anyone else?
2022, still the BEST cover of this song, right?? Chills...the kooks forever!

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 :))))

pretty timeless 👌, not many song are like this,
Great cover, Great band 😎
His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.
The way Luke enjoys Hugh playing without losing a bit of concentration. They're simply 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 wanting
To be haunted
Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting
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!

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
If you love The Kooks, and you love MGMT, how could you NOT love this!
i looooove this cover so much!

Frodo Baggins x Julian Casablancas + Samwise Gamgee x Ed Sheeran - MGMT Kids (Acoustic Cover) 😂
holy mordor! these hobbit-look-a-likes can cover some shit.
a musica ficou linda na voz dele, 😍😍
é legal aquelas desafinadas propositais dele!!
De que jeito, eles conseguiram estragar a música 🙈🤷
I wasn’t aware that Sam & Frodo started to play music after destroying the ring.
this is while they are on their journey to destroy the ring.
His voice makes me nostalgic. Makes me think about memories I lost.
True there’s something like it digs out from past
When did Frodo and Sam start making covers?
W
Epic!
The harmonies in this cover!
Been coming back to this one for nearly a decade now
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
2023 and we still love the Kooks!
I can’t quite deal with the way he pronounces words. They’re from Brighton FFS!
Good Version!!!..Grettings from Perú
A great indie band... covering a great indie band
Seems like it was on the 70s or so
yes! exactly what i always think when i'm watching this. has a kind of vintage touch. makes me wonder when it really was recorded..
i prefer this to the original, i think it's more emotional
Waaaay better.. turned a bs electronic fake track into real music. Top class
@@seanpower660 define ‘real music’ lol
@@danielmiley1340 not saying i agree that the original isn't real music, but this version has an incredible amount of emotion and soul.

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.
Im in love with this cover 😍😍
than why don't you marry it?
+Jordan Boggs Classic.
lol
So chilled isn't 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 :)
sam and frodo being great!
His voice on this song is absolutely gorgeous. Fantastic cover.
Seems like no one can do a bad cover of this song.
why am I only finding these two now? The acoustic of this and their harmony is wonderful!
That cover is so freaking good.. GOD!
very raw .. suits this song anyways
Thanks Kooks. Now I Know how to play Kids with my guitar ;-)
best thing ever created
Ok, so this is fucking awesome
1:07 the Wasser is warm
this song makes me cry 😔 you're really good guys 💜
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
me identifico totalmente
They should do more acoustic stuff its they're best
2:07 when Luke realises how good Hugh is at guitar
2:54 luke thinks damn. where did that come from...
Great cover! I've recently recorded some music myself. If you're interested head over to my channel and check it out! Let me know what you think.
if you're listening to this gem in 2023 you are a legend!
First time watching this & all I can say is wow. These guys are mad talented!! Love it!
It sounds like an entirely new song! I love MGMT but this version is amazing
Escuchando este temaso en plena pandemia. Octubre 2020. La Rioja Argentina
This unlocked a memory
If they’re playing guitars, who’s watching the ring?!
They'd only be upset because The Kook's did a better job on the song then MGMT ever could have.
Those vocals are my goals
i love the lines of harris' guitar
Why the fuck is he so hyper nervous? Does nobody see that?
Alexander González Evans naa he isn't, he's just feeling the music
Does the guitarist have Parkinson's?
literally what i was thinking look at my comment lol
I always thought this cover suited the tone of the song better
Still an amazing version of this song, brings a new feeling. thats always what i try with my covers as well lo kinda hard tbh
I used to watch this literally everyday in middle school. Oh my god my heart its so good
Shockingly similar to a young Bob Dylan
I've always thought that
Beyond obsessed with this cover. Such a good fucking job holy shit
Same ahahahaha
he kinda looks like andrew..with the hair
I prefer the more melancholy tone of this cover to the original.
Omg MGMT and The Kooks are my favourite bands. I love this version so much omg.
Oh my god. I don't even know what to say besides if this mans voice was the last thing I heard before death I would be pleased.
That's just it, music is a preferential thing and people interpret things differently. I do like that you didn't bash the band because you don't agree with the hivemind though. You are a proper youtube citizen!
my favorite cover ever! his voice is so uniqueee
i love the way he says "laughing"
bob dylan
They made this song Better.
Not even trying to be flawless either - like many think its all about, they kicked ass! GREAT job!
