Paul Kelly is a national treasure

[@johnbon5760]

swear jar please

[@johnbon5760]

just your mum on wessel juice

[@NathanChisholm041]

Agreed

[@deigima]

The fact hes still performing and producing music hes not in it for quick money or a bit of fame, hes in it for the love of music

[@poketrainerpatrick7118]

He is so awesome. This is my and my dad’s favourite song.

[@Theogmessy]

Paul Kelly doesn't give a fuck, he loves this song! Respect

[@garystinten9339]

MessyOg he sung the original.. no wonder he doesn't give a fuck..

[@emersonrae6014]

how much fun was mr Kelly having.... he has sung that song a million times and is still loving it.....what generation gap

[@AussieAriesGirl]

Em White I know this comment is two years old but I think he enjoys it still so much because of things like this where it’s still applicable to our everyday lives and society. They study him at my uni as a part of poetry unit. He is truly an Aussie treasure

[@michaelcummings8452]

I think he may have Indigenous DNA anyway.

[@spateri728]

​@@michaelcummings8452Of course he does

[@jarvis72]

7 years later... This is still the best like a version...

[@smivv55]

I love how the band is introduced. I've never seen that amount of talent in 1 line up

[@djwhippy]

good to see Carl Barron is still keeping busy. jokes aside great cover.

[@ianWithaT]

"Carl Baron...looks like a FOETUS"

[@rhiannonh5202]

They’ve just announced a like a version hottest 100, this should absolutely be in everyone’s top ten!

[@nerissarowan8119]

It’s great, but not a cover.

[@SolidIncMedia]

Given that it hit fifth place, it absolutely was!

[@KentisMentis]

@@nerissarowan8119 If you want to be pedantic, it's not a cover.. it's definitely a version of the original.. the segment is called like a version, so even if it wasn't, it's at least like one.

[@nerissarowan8119]

@@KentisMentis ok, I can’t fault that logic.

[@RobertJW]

Very pleased with the 5th place result for this absolute beauty!

[@rocksand2853]

Is no one talking about how good Dan Sultan is????

[@dehrk]

He’s fantastic!

[@anthonym1571]

Don’t need to, we all just know he’s phenomenal!!

[@damonjbrennan]

he good

[@morgs8028]

Kin oath he's a beast

[@SC-hg7hg]

THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED TO HEAR. If Kelly and A.B. wanted to make a full album together I wouldn't mind at all.

[@lilpixines]

yes please

[@amiidemanuele3920]

so long as they invite Dan Sultan along for the ride too!

Paul Kelly: Australia's Bob Dylan.

[@cronulla70]

pffft Bob Dylan is Americas Paul Kelly

[@therealthing691]

to right Brother

[@rustyshackleford9963]

cronulla70 Paul Dylan is America's Australian Bob Kelly

[@Tamaresque]

No, not even close. Paul can sing for one and write really relevant songs for two.

[@wwallace0071]

@@Tamaresque Hhahahahaha

[@scottprobst3216]

wow...as a long time Paul Kelly fan, that mix with AB Original and Dan Sultan was the best, brought tears to my eyes and I thought Dan Sultan was the same in that shot at the end. Bring on the album!!!!

[@SupaSlyMonkey]

Never can get enough of Paul Kelly. Man is a legend love his music

[@ndeef]

I highly recommend you listen to this cover at 1.25 speed. It sounds phenomenal. I did it by accident.

[@ev1ed]

Agree! Nice one.

[@DmacDomage]

Yep. Makes it hard and sharp!

[@dropkick63]

Ha that is awesome!

[@minksrule2196]

How do I do that?

[@ndeef]

Minks Rule it's a feature only accessible on desktop. You click the gear button and change the speed to 1.25

[@larachan-baker1597]

This song makes me so emotional. Thank you, thank you, thank you A.B. Original, Paul Kelly and all the incredible musicians for this gift.

[@ewenslaughter8035]

you know your at the top of australian music when paul kelly says he will do a song with you. good work boys yours fkn killing it.

[@johnpaul626]

This has been my favourite like a version this year, so good. u can tell how stagnent things are at the federal level when artists start singing like this.

[@carolinehaf21]

I have ADORED this song since I was 8 and it was on the Young Einstein soundtrack. It has been part of every mixtape... every mix CD... every generation of Ipod... and now this ultimate version with these 2 truth tellers is gold 35 years later. BRAVO PAUL AND A.B ORIGINAL! 👏 👏

[@Inconspicuous657]

Like a version has been phenomenal this year. Well done A.B Original!

[@paulhughes1038]

This is one of favourite covers ever!! Every artist nails it

[@jackhinkley885]

I don't get why anyone would dislike any videos from this series, especially ones of this caliber.

[@dylanplaysthings]

Because realizing you're a racist doesn't sit right

[@shaynebernard]

Paul Kelly is awesome but damn that smile at the very end...he would make for an awesome seriel killer in a Aussie horror movie

[@dariusmiller2767]

Shayne Bernard ha you're not wrong

[@erincoffey3293]

Shayne Bernard he's never smiled at any gigs I've seen him at

[@pia_om]

Bahaha!

[@jeepnutscotty]

I thought the same thing!!! He’d make a great Wolf Creek pshyco killer

[@ThePointstheif88]

A.b original is my favourite new band at the moment.

[@watsonswhey]

It's not a band, just Briggs and Trials.

[@djspuddzz8116]

It's alright, non hip hop fans know groups/duos as bands

[@annafranklin4981]

I didn't get to listen to this live, so when I checked KZbin I was like "Wooooo!!!" Was looking forward to A.B. Original, and then bonus Dan Sultan and super bonus Paul Kelly...!! Incredible! Thanks guys!!

[@mattykrause1768]
