One of the best bands around right now by far. Theirs is the one of the few albums I can ever remember purchasing that after months and months of listening to, I'm still playing it on repeat. Absolutely incredible.
Brian Daniel The played a free gig here in Hull just as I was getting into them (so, I wasn't too fussed about going at the time), but now, looking back, I can't believe the chance I missed out on:(
Charley Passy Each to their own:) I'm not forcing my opinions down on anyone, the bands you mentioned are probably pretty good but it's gonna take a lot for me to get past my 1975 phase, haha. Even now, two months after posting my original comment, what I wrote still stands!
Charley Passy Catfish and teh Bottlemen are a great band but Thr 1975 have a beautiful unique sound as @SuperMisterKory said "Each to their own opinion"
They turned this "fun ,upbeat, dance with your friends" song into this slow, sensual, sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song, and I am so ready for it. My god I think I honestly prefer this to the original although I can still appreciate both versions.
Oh my gosh, I was not expecting to hear the Weeknd. I love The 1975. They have such a distinct sound and it's just beautiful how they can transform songs to make them sound like their own.
You have no idea how bad I feel for people who don't know about this band or dislike them. So much joy is missing from their lives. Oh well, keep doing your thing boys. I adore you all
I find it hard to believe that matty is a self taught vocalist. His range and technique is seriously mind boggling. The vocals during their slowdown/Drive Like I Do/Big Sleep days are just a remarkable experience.
Jesus. This is such a genreless group. They incorporate so many elements, from rock n roll to r&b to even bit of jazz as we see here. They're bringing back true sound. They're bringing back music.
This is probably my favourite cover. Its just musically so different from the originally you wouldn't even know it was clean bandits song. They can turn any song into a masterpiece. Absolutely love it!
Can't believe I saw these guys at a local club for $20 bucks while I was in Uni. Their front man is so tiny it's definitely memorable when you see them preform. They were good! Had a very simple set design, like a lit up rectangular door on stage, it was really effective. This mix is smooth, but I can't believe over 4 million people have seen it-- so cool that they shot up. Good for them :).
The 1975 cannot do wrong. this is so perfect. i love how they take a cover and completely change it and make it their own. They are so original and fresh i just love them. Matty's voice is just incredible ♥
I actually listen to this for a few months now. And for some reason I just listened to wicked games for the first time and it sounded so familiar so I searched half an hour for the Cover from which I was remembering it. Until it clicked in my head and I realized it was this video (hard to find when it is actually the cover of another song...) :D
I tought this song couldn't be more perfect, then these guys made this cover! Oh my, Jess Glynne (original singer) has to make a cameo in this! So amazing! Obsessed!
omg this is crazy I was just listening to the same song they covered by the weeknd at 2:38 😱😱😱 and he's definitely my favorite artist while they are my favorite band.my face is stuck on that shocked expression.
true love. i just don't know how to explain my love for this band. I love matty's voice. it's so deep and it has so many "shades". I love their style that is pretty unique. Also when they do a cover they literally transform the song and make it in theirs own style. I've never fell in love into a band before and now they're kind of an obsession for me. They're so talented and i hope for them the best! Just go ahead like this the 1975 :) Can't way to see you live and to listen new songs!
So as someone who doesn't know the original, I really enjoyed this cover. I know people are always going to be comparing covers to originals, but if people enjoyed this version, isn't that the point?

And now, still the same?
They turned this "fun ,upbeat, dance with your friends" song into this slow, sensual, sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song, and I am so ready for it. My god I think I honestly prefer this to the original although I can still appreciate both versions.
ikr! I wasn't prepared.
that "sex me up in the back of a club at 2am song" lmao i feel youuu 🤣🤣🤣

I love love love The 1975's consistent and glorious sax use.

m8 that's called sounding a little chavvy
Shut up idiot. What are you from germany or something ;D
Wtf 😂😂
Sneaky Kiki If anything he's posh as heck.
Oh my gosh, I was not expecting to hear the Weeknd. I love The 1975. They have such a distinct sound and it's just beautiful how they can transform songs to make them sound like their own.
1975 ft. the weeknd or the nbhd would be my wet dream
THE NBHD :)
the perfect trio, if any two of those three were to make a song i'd probably die of excitement
they should all go on a tour together
OH MY GOSH, I LOVE YOU nikiwasnthere Seriously I love the weeknd so much and you just made my life because i agree with you 100% gosh!!
jcv87 THANK YOU FOR AGREEING
I'm still here after 8 years. Still sounds so good.
Here with yah
The weeknd collaborating w the 1975 would be mad
+DaCrolla or with The neighborhood :)
+Kwon Hee Ji (Christina) lol I know darling ;) jk
that would be dope af
+Zuleima Avila RIGHT I WAS SERIOUSLY THINKING THAT!
+DaCrolla yeah but the weeknd is cliche
they can make any song sound sexy 😍
Any word*
+Joana Santos I want Matty to speak this words : Fridge , Elevator, Toast , Grandma .
DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he already sayed grandma in a interview when he explain his tattoos
+DingDong YourOpinionIsWrong he says toast in an interview about Australia
Okay guys this was a joke
I'M MINDBLOWN AT HOW ADORABLE MATTY IS RN OML
You have no idea how bad I feel for people who don't know about this band or dislike them. So much joy is missing from their lives. Oh well, keep doing your thing boys. I adore you all
I would to hear a full cover of a Weeknd song from The 1975
specifically The Morning. Matty's voice + The Morning = sex
Oh my God, this was exactly what I was thinking of. Seriously, that would be a good idea.
Jordyn Marie same
Favorite band singing one on my all time favorite songs. Holy shit
The 1975 didn't just covered the song! They OWNED it!! Eargasmic!
I was definitely not expecting that voice from the way he sounded when he was talking.
In a good or bad way? 😂
I find it hard to believe that matty is a self taught vocalist. His range and technique is seriously mind boggling. The vocals during their slowdown/Drive Like I Do/Big Sleep days are just a remarkable experience.
Jesus. This is such a genreless group. They incorporate so many elements, from rock n roll to r&b to even bit of jazz as we see here. They're bringing back true sound. They're bringing back music.
The 1975 covering The Weeknd....everything I love.
How did i fucking lived without this for 2 years ?
It's two songs that i love covered by my favorite band
only the first few seconds into the performance and it already sounds like perfection
I just audibly moaned in the middle of Starbucks when he transitioned to Wicked Games
Lol
same tbh but i’m not in starbucks
this is the most first world comment I've read all week
exactly 2 years ago today this was posted. and im glad it was posted
This is probably my favourite cover. Its just musically so different from the originally you wouldn't even know it was clean bandits song. They can turn any song into a masterpiece. Absolutely love it!
pure perfection . love this band. Seen them live nov. 4 and it was the greatest concert I've been too.
I was at that concert too :)) the vibes where awesome i can't stop seeing it in my head
Hey I was there as well!! It was an amazing concert.
Niether can I @samantha ! The wait was insane but worth it .
Yeah @izzy! The guys really put on a show to remember :)
Jnene Gavin tell me about it. I waited outside for 14 hours. It was worth it though because I got front row and Matty's guitar pick. Ahhhh.
I stood for 10hours! Deffintely seeing the guys again!
It's so intimate man. I love the ambience he puts in to the song like ugh so perfect !
Started hearing Wicked Games and I was not expecting it in a good way.
me too
love the saxophone, always have.
i still fucking love this song it's been 2 years and i'm still bloody in love with it
Can't believe I saw these guys at a local club for $20 bucks while I was in Uni. Their front man is so tiny it's definitely memorable when you see them preform. They were good! Had a very simple set design, like a lit up rectangular door on stage, it was really effective.

Tiny 😂😂 I died
HOW IS SOMEONE SO SEXY BUT THEN ADORABLE LIKE WHAT
That's what I'm wondering
I know right 🤷🏼♀️
saxophone dude has got it going on
I have literally listened to this version 2-3 times a day for the past 2 weeks .
by far my face song right now, simply amazing
This so amazing I'm so in love with it I listen to it daily and make my friends listen to it
the way they all dance with their instruments is so hot
2024 and still listening to this version. Prefer this than the original
The 1975 cannot do wrong. this is so perfect. i love how they take a cover and completely change it and make it their own. They are so original and fresh i just love them. Matty's voice is just incredible ♥
Sooooooo. They just sexified this song like crazy... Geez that saxaphone makes me melt
matty is driving me insane
daaaamn girl, mane irgi!!!!
love that they approach every cover they do from their own direction! It's definitely interesting to hear someone mix it up a bit
What's not to love about the 1975?
i'm desperate for hearing more the weeknd songs from matty
I actually listen to this for a few months now. And for some reason I just listened to wicked games for the first time and it sounded so familiar so I searched half an hour for the Cover from which I was remembering it. Until it clicked in my head and I realized it was this video (hard to find when it is actually the cover of another song...) :D
I would actually pass
I tought this song couldn't be more perfect, then these guys made this cover! Oh my, Jess Glynne (original singer) has to make a cameo in this! So amazing! Obsessed!
Matty's little move at 1:06. Hahaha these guys are legends
Matty can make ANY song better.
The 1975*
cotelactica mj . The whole band is gr8 but i was talking vocally.
This song went from 0-100 real quick
These guys should really release an album of covers.
Listening again because of 2:27-3:24
Bless The 1975
BLESS THE WEEKND
radio 1 you should consider changing the into / outro noise it could kill OUR EARS i swear......
they probably do that so people won't illegally download it.
whenever the noise starts i feel my ear drum being ripped am sure many others feel the same way, they can just change the noise.
omg same!
Yes!!! I'm surprised I don't read comments like this more often.
***** people stll do it lol
The second he switched to Wicked Games, my heart just melted
this will never get old
Matty dancing and vibing are giving me sooo much life!
They finessed this. It sounds so gorgeous.
+Daija Graves MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
*TRIGGERED
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNMMM
Killing me. God, I love the 1975 so much. Lord give me the strength.
This cover and Dan singing Rather Be are my favorite ones.
Watched this a year ago for the first time. Loved it then and still love it now. Love the mix with wicked games. Just awesome
Oh my god. I need a full cover of Wicked Games like right now.
I NEED HOLY WATER FOR THE THOUGHTS THAT ARE RUNNING THRU MY HEAD RN HALP ABJSKSSGFKDFULDFKV

the vibes I'm getting right now are unreal honestly.
The 1975's covers are always my favourite
Song sounds so good and deep... They can literally change the most happiest song to something deep and emotional
matty can make anything/any song sound amazing
sooo goood!!! i love what they did with the musical arrangements. it's sooo them
that switch CAME OUTTA NOWHERE I FEEL SO ATTACKED YESS THE WEEKND AND THE 1975
NEVER IN MY LIFE FELT THIS HAPPY AND CLAM AT THE SAME DAMN TIME
omg this is crazy I was just listening to the same song they covered by the weeknd at 2:38 😱😱😱 and he's definitely my favorite artist while they are my favorite band.my face is stuck on that shocked expression.
I love this so much I still can't get over it
The fact i met the boys last night and all day i have had them on repeat trying to get over it but i seriously cant
they are just really really beautiful, unreal, and god-like when they perform live. The beginning sounded like Alison Wonderland's 'I Want U'.
So much fucking love
WOULD YOU LOOK WHO IT IS
Elliot John Russell cest moi
HEY MATE
LiviTheNerd HEY FRIEND
Im sick I can't even breath or open my eyes! And this is helping me to get through this horrible day...
I am too in love with them
This cover is absolutely amazing! I love how into it the boys get. Truly talented musicians
true love.
i just don't know how to explain my love for this band. I love matty's voice. it's so deep and it has so many "shades". I love their style that is pretty unique. Also when they do a cover they literally transform the song and make it in theirs own style.
I've never fell in love into a band before and now they're kind of an obsession for me.
They're so talented and i hope for them the best! Just go ahead like this the 1975 :)
Can't way to see you live and to listen new songs!
They're seriously the best thing that's happened to indie rock/pop music in SO LONG

I can't put the right words together to express how much this band means to me.
The way they remade these songs perfectly to their chill vibe... matty be killin me :') yumawdjsnskmmmm
So glad I clicked on this. Had only heard Chocolate previously. Wow did I get a surprise. :-)
John Randle It's only the beginning ;)
John Randle if you start listening to their other songs you might become addicted just a warning aha
It's already 2017 and I'm still in love with this
2022 and back
just listened to this again, still awesome, loving the sorry cover
at the start i was like holy shit hes so short
+izzy ye that´s the problem he is not short
well he's talented, i think it's not a huge prob 😉
im not insulting i just didn't think he was that short
***** I don't think that 5'8 it's short
5'8 isnt extemely short but it is short
such a beautiful voice, especially when done with mellow musics. :)))))))
still so obsessed with this aah
Love the R&B feel to it! Baby making music
Damn. This is chill af. Love it!
This cover is giving me all kinds of feelings and sensations..
iVE BEEN BLESSED WE'VE ALL BEEN BLESSED
Still love this up until now . 2019
So as someone who doesn't know the original, I really enjoyed this cover. I know people are always going to be comparing covers to originals, but if people enjoyed this version, isn't that the point?
My all time favourite cover of this song
THAT THE WEEKND COVER THO OH MY GODDDDD
Love that he included Wicked Games in this!! Amazing cover
