The original is my ringtone. It works well; never miss a call. Saw Sweet back when I was in high school, around 1975 or 76. Always loved this song. These girls do a great job for a live version. It's a good introduction to their band. The drummer and lead guitarist are awesome. The front girl also has the voice of a real rock star.
So nice to see/hear a young group who both love the song and deliver it so well, I speak as an 50+British man who both remember the song and want to see The Sweet!!
Wild! I just heard them on the radio on the drive home from work and remembered them immediately from this cover and came searching! Great band. Nice to see them getting exposure!
I was just 14 years old when the original song was a hit, and to me this one is a damn good version! It has a real '70's sound but with a modern twist to it - love it!
Surprised by all the negative comments. I wonder if those people had ever heard the original. Anyway, this is a charming cover and holds its own compared to the original.
This is fun, but not surprised by the negative comments. Some people will hate on anything that isn't the original. Some will hate because it is being done by a band with some female members. Some will hate because they seek to attack Lydia for some comments she made about her interactions with someone. Some will hate the style of music in general, and some will genuinely dislike this performance because they dislike it. Some will hate it because they happened to hear it when they were in the midst of a bad day. Everyone has their own opinion, but to anyone attacking this, there is much much much much much much worse stuff out there, some of which is a lot more popular, this is competent and inoffensive, and if it wasn't perfect, I mean, the singer was like 16 at the time, there is plenty of time for improvement....but hey, if it makes people feel better about themselves to hate on this, let them
You guys kick a$$!! I love this song and you guys represent well! I love to see the younger generation take older songs and take on their version. Great job!!
Agree. I generally hate Sweet covers. Pat Benatar’s “No You Don’t” was decent but I pretty much can’t stand any others I’ve heard. This is the first Sweet cover I’ve heard where the band turned it into one of their songs, made it their own. It’s makes a great garage pop/post punk tune
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD in the world? or music wise? I think they released a song with lauren hibbard a while ago, but that's the most recent thing they've done
I just love to listen to to this at x1.25 speed... damn i wanna play this song in that tempo.. i have to do that someday.. edit: and now i noticed you can playit at whatever speed you like and 1.15 is even better... You Rock!
Love Fox on the Run. Like the hard rock version. I agree with Gus Jackson; Wail it! Maybe add a couple of more voices to the chorus. Great Job and super awesome to see some girls singing it their way!
The people at AV Club, where this was originally posted, came up with that title. From listening to it, it sounds like those amps are up really loud, you can kind of feel the energy in that room. If the person who came up with that caption was in that room for the performance, I can get where he or she was coming from. Plus they had 24 bands doing covers in 24 days. That’s a lot of headlines. Might have just been throwing shit against the wall at some point lol
thanks for uploading this! did you by any chance happen to also save the charly bliss cover? i’m kicking myself for not downloading it sooner but i really didn’t think they’d delete these videos too :( [edit: a nice person on reddit shared the cover with me, i uploaded it here : th-cam.com/video/BazWDCi_OUs/w-d-xo.html hopefully all of them resurface eventually!]

Thanks for proving my point about the music. Though I have to admit that Sultans of Swing is one of my favorite songs ever. I guess 70s sucked for me in general, because junior high, high school, and undergrad tend to suck for a lot of us in general. I think LPs sold best in the 70s. In the 60s we were just getting into them, and by the 90s we were into CDs and Napster. 80s had all those corny videos, not LPs so much, and CDs were starting.
I actually think it does kick ass in a raw Indy rock way. It’s not as polished and pop sounding as the original. I also noticed that it sounds like it’s really loud in that room, amps on eleven. I’m a HUGE Sweet fan. This is the first cover I’ve ever liked of one of their songs.
I like what the Regrettes do, but this is in no way better than Sweet. To me, it desperately needs that great synthesizer riff. But, to each their own as I always say. To their credit, this band has done pretty damn well, in a very competitive music market

Managed to sound like themselves while retaining the spirit of the original. Amazing cover. Underrated drummer. 👍🏾
This was my first exposure to the Regrettes and I thought back then they had something. Today I heard them on the radio for the first time. Awesome.
Wild! I just heard them on the radio on the drive home from work and remembered them immediately from this cover and came searching! Great band. Nice to see them getting exposure!
Go see them live if you can!
I was just 14 years old when the original song was a hit, and to me this one is a damn good version! It has a real '70's sound but with a modern twist to it - love it!
I heard this song yesterday. It was my first time hearing the band and the song. It's my new personal anthem. Thanks The Regrettes.
I was 15 when the original came out, I liked this cover, it was a pop song then and it is a pop song now
3 part harmony will always win me over.
Thank you! this video disappeared from AV Club
please don't ever let this video die, keep archiving it and re uploading it pls
That little laugh after Lidia says thank you, makes me smile every time.
This is a live take and it's good. Missed nothing and achieved what they set out to do. Should not be compared to the original studio recording.

Well, I think this is so much fun.
Nothing wrong with this version. Everyone started somewhere. Where are they now?
I think they did a wonderful job.
Great cover version of this song, The Regrettes Rock. I can't get enough of their version.
Fuck Yeah!
Most AV Club vids are M.I.A. - I've been looking for Gogol Bordello's cover of TORN forever! Ep. 307 recorded Oct. 1, 2017
PLEASE HELP ME !!!
This is the cover I was looking for. I love how they made it their own
I grew up with the original, I really liked this pretty awesome
You guys kick a$$!! I love this song and you guys represent well! I love to see the younger generation take older songs and take on their version. Great job!!
This might just the best cover ever. That said from an oldtimer to whom made out with his first girl to the original song.
Agree. I generally hate Sweet covers. Pat Benatar’s “No You Don’t” was decent but I pretty much can’t stand any others I’ve heard.
This is the first Sweet cover I’ve heard where the band turned it into one of their songs, made it their own. It’s makes a great garage pop/post punk tune
Nice sounds great
Drums are so good. It's like he's drumming through the drums. Haven't heard such heavy drumming since Dave Friggin' Grohl!
This is why the 70s where so so GREAT
Great little cover, true to the original. Thanks for uploading.
I am now a Regrettes fan. Awesome.
Unfortunately they don't sound like this anymore.☹☹☹☹☹
Y'all are really good! Amazing job! I grew up listening to Sweet in the 70's. Your killing it!
Jill Gross
Love it ! The drummer really rocks too !
The whole band rocks!
Real cool to hear the next generation keeping some of the greats alive. Good on ya ladies, keep rocking!
Amazing job... Cheers mates !!
wouldn't it be cool if the regrettes made an album full of covers? Hey Mickey,Fox On tne Run, Don't stop me now...
It’d be cool if they did anything. Where are they??
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD in the world? or music wise? I think they released a song with lauren hibbard a while ago, but that's the most recent thing they've done
@@jasperjones4335 Just seems like they’ve been really quiet.
I think they'd nail an Oingo Boingo cover. Something like On the Outside.
and Little Willy
man, AV Undercover needs to start up again
this is so good!!
Isn't she as cute as a button😊
I just love to listen to to this at x1.25 speed... damn i wanna play this song in that tempo.. i have to do that someday..
edit: and now i noticed you can playit at whatever speed you like and 1.15 is even better... You Rock!
Excellent, was one of my fave songs when it came out, & am a musician, we r thinking to cover Love is like Oxygen! Great job, cool guitar tones…
Tasha Yar on bass
hahaha....only us old folks get that one....
they look like a fictional band from a show
I didn’t know Margot Tenenbaum had such a great band.
Oh yeah !!!! Starts off mello, then look out !!! Excellent !!!!!
Awesome job!
Very well done 👏 ✔ 👍
Amazing cover!
Amazingly bad.
@@GGSalt you certainly live to your name

Very cool guys, Nice rendition of a great 74 song
Killed it! Bravo!!!!!!
She rocks!
I don't know why people hate this, but I personally think it's good.
Agree. They got nothing wrong and sounded great for a live take.
soo good
The band's composition is such a metaphor. 🤣
Ok, you don't understand what"ferocious" means but, thanks for introducing me to The Regrettes!
Yes, I like the band, like their version of the song, but ferocious?....Um. Yes. Ferocious like Tony the Tiger.

Wuonderfull and pure fun!
Great cover. Entertaining and with a harder punk sound.
Not a great cover. Just adequate
The biggest telecaster I've seen. :)
Goddamn that rock n roll

Watching their old video and i get sad now 😢
Good go Girls ❤❤❤
also I want that bass.
💓 Anna,Christine,Tinja&Markku
I dig the guitar solo - just off color enough to fit their flavour
Girl you killed this song.
Killed is good
Very cool 😎
EXCELLENT cover......👍👍👍👍👍
Hells yeah, wickid sweet cover.
chEErs
omg no they didn’t. Have they got other covers???
Please make this available on iTunes. Massive upgrade from the 70s. I was there it wasn’t that great….
What wasnt that great ?
70s weren't that great, especially the music. Nothing compared to the 60s or 90s.

8 of the Top 25 Biggest selling L,P,S Sold in the USA are from the 70s TRUE FACTS.

Bravo !!!!!!!!!!
What happened to the original upload?
I don't know, but it was on my "play list" videos.
Ferocious? No. I don’t know how that term would apply here. But they really did a great job with the song. I loved it.
Go touring, unless you already do.
Already do, and currently are
💗💗💗💗
Here’s my non-ferocious take on this song:
th-cam.com/video/r-pgEvha7IA/w-d-xo.html
nice
Non, je ne regrette rien.
Damn people in the comments either dipise this cover or love it.
To me, its alright.
Best thing since sliced bread this
@@lukesedgwick3016 The cover is fantastic for one reason: They're playing this song live... something Sweet could never do.
Like!
Super live Musik
I love a telecaster but two I’m the one band ain’t right. Swap in another and you’ll get a fuller sound
Think that's just the sound they wanted for this. In the Hey Now video Lydia is playing a Kay and Genessa is rocking a Jazzmaster.
Love it. I like your guys look too. Throw in a some hard drugs and hard booze and get to rockin babe.
Old dude gatekeepers hate women hahaha
Yeah the Boomers are showing up with their myopia
Not all of us feel that way. I'm getting older all the time and I thought it was a great cover.
I think it's more like people disagree with the title describing it as "ferocious."
I actually think it does kick ass in a raw Indy rock way. It’s not as polished and pop sounding as the original. I also noticed that it sounds like it’s really loud in that room, amps on eleven.
I’m a HUGE Sweet fan. This is the first cover I’ve ever liked of one of their songs.
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD I wasn't saying it's a bad cover, but I think many wouldn't describe it the way the title does.
Wtf that was brutal 😬
Better than the original. Brilliant. And if the singer isn't called Emily there's something wrong with the world.
Nope
Lydia lol
I'm worried about you David.
I like what the Regrettes do, but this is in no way better than Sweet. To me, it desperately needs that great synthesizer riff. But, to each their own as I always say. To their credit, this band has done pretty damn well, in a very competitive music market
Great fuckin' version, dislikers are gay
これって、女の子が歌うと変だよね。バンドの男子がグルーピーの女子を茶化す歌ですから。
歌詞を日本語訳して見ると、彼女に「お前は自分が可愛いと思っているんだろう」とか「お前の話は二番煎じ」だとか、罵倒してますから。
Oh my. Ummm. Yeah
Yea the sweet
Ferocious: savagely fierce, cruel, or violent.
"a ferocious beast". 🙄
adjectival click- bait ought to be a crime...
It’s great. Just needs a bit more adventurous singing. Wail it sister!
Remember when you switch from all girl hand to an old woman band it's sophistication not sex appeal.
no
Ferocious? Nah. I mean if someone was having a kegger in the 80's, I guess it would be great.
Love the toe-tapping hooks !
Hate the obnoxious misogynistic lyrics !
Love The Regrettes !
Better than the original !
@brendanwhelton What's wrong with u?
Better than the original? You need to get the wax out of your ears!
Brenda sounds like a Karen 😂.
What's misogynistic about it?
Sage and Max are definitely missed. This band could've been something special. Now they sound like every other overproduced pop dribble.
Overpriced pop dribble? The fact that you even say that makes me believe that you have no idea what pop even is.
I regret clicking on this.
Is this karaoke night? Sweet!
I regret seeing your comment
Ferocious? That word doesn't mean what you think it means.
"Ferocious" - not really - too lightweight, by far. Sorry girls, & boy. Keep plugging at it ...
Hardly "FEROCIOUS "...
Good on em anyway .
That cover feels like a wet sandwich. Sorry.
Can you say I’m high
Ferocious? Hmmm....
Makes you want to cry listening, what a shambles!
ruin this song like wow....
Best cover of it I’ve ever heard
The major regret here is this version.
Ruin it? Man… you have no idea what music even is.
