[@shellydrew100]

This is AMAZING , has Ray Davies heard this ?...if he hasn't i bet he would LOVE it :)

[@trfesok]

Well, this is the MOST unusual version of this song ever! Very creative! The only cover I put in my "Kinks..live" playlist. Thanks for the upload!

[@deepdiver51]

Absolutely fantastic! Never thought I'd hear one of my favourite Kinks songs covered so originally. Just superb!! (Maybe a little more volume on the sitar).

[@JohnSmith-su3ze]

As an ardent Kinks fan, I am often appalled at the steady stream of lacklustre Kinks covers are really nothing more than an insult to one of our cultures greatest acts, but this cover version is an absolute delight! I want more!

[@williamtell5039]

Nice and smooth!

[@trfesok]

This is really original! I bet even Ray Davies would be wowed by this arrangment. Thanks for uploading!

[@thomaswake1372]

Best cover I've ever heard. I'm absolutely obsessed with this video.

[@mikec64]

I'm a huge long-time Kinks fan and this is sheer delight! I'm adding it to every play list! Thank you!

[@taffytop]

Love the picture in the wall of four London phone boxes . London is so cool

[@czarzuniga7978]

[@almostinfamous42]

This is awesome, wish i had seen it when it came out so i could have 6 years of enjoying this arrangement, but better late than never.

[@edmundau-yeung9598]

Discovered this 10 years late. Amazing!

[@marketingdone4you]

You just made the harp cool!

[@upstreameconomics6138]

JUst stumbled on this. Wow, so good

[@tomratcliff3755]

Yea! This is a keeper.

[@sugarjoe50]

Excellent 👍

[@ThomasRogan-gc5pi]

Love 💕 it! Fantastic original version of a classic Kinks song! Unique 😊

[@petergrattan3509]

beautiful.... xxxxxxxxxx

[@Spectrescup]

Great voice the singer has- blank but quizzical, intelligent but puzzled. Love the stand-up sitar pose too.

[@kurtwagner1092]

Great job...hard to pull off a Kinks song, but this was awesome.

[@antoniabyrd]

This is a first a harp and Sitar together! Sounds glorious! :)

[@Chesterton7]

fantastic

[@Jerome-gs1nw]

Classy, Great cover

[@serigrapher2]

Great and unusual version.

[@rockgardner]

Liked with no hesitation! So much fun!

[@rockgardner]

Btw, I have a phenomenal cat named Purrcy!

[@valariethompson8877]

Wish I could be as cool as these three. You made my day!

[@romanromanov6397]

Wow! So unique & talented. Voice is very clear. The band is good. 💐🎼👏

[@philt1771]

I stumbled upon this searching for Kinks covers and I thought this was one of the best. Cool use of the sitar and harp!

[@yafflehk]

Nice and smooth

[@upstreameconomics6138]

I keep coming back to this. Enchanted cover!

[@thecharacters]

Great!

[@bigdaddystinkeye]

Awesome!

[@reuireuiop0]

A perfect, perfect fit for that sitar ! All the more because the Kinks (not the Beatles) were first to take inspiration from that instrument in a pop record (Drone guitar on See my Friends; they'd been on a stopover in India while on tour)

[@DickieboyBradders]

Wow 😲🎸🎶🙏

[@shanna9650]

Nice!!!

[@pmoyer50]

[@MrSirDrew]

Lyrics I am a dull and simple lad Cannot tell water from champagne And I have never met the Queen And I wish I could be like David Watts And when I lie on my pillow at night I dream I could fight like David Watts Lead the school team to victory And take my exams and pass the lot Wish I could be like David Watts (Wish I could be) Wish I could be like David Watts (Wish I could be) Conduct my life like David Watts (Wish I could be) I wish I could be like David Watts He is the head boy at the school He is the captain of the team He is so gay and fancy free And I wish I could be like David Watts And all the girls in the neighbourhood Try to go out with David Watts They try their best but can't succeed For he is of pure and noble breed Wish I could be like Wish I could be like Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) Wish, wish, wish, wish (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) Be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa) Wish I could be like (Fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa-fa)

[@SevenDaysToNoon]

That was excellent. Loved also the cheeky look to the camera!

[@spudwas]

You are sublime!

[@SilvioBenchimol]

Grande ragazza e grande musichi congratulazioni belissima canzone

[@johnbonner258]

Ray Davies wrote the song but The Jam own it

[@lynelhutz]

Another great cover and the Kinks are always a cool choice. Good luck Mikael!

[@paulrawes]

Brilliant!

[@EverythingWentSideways]

not to sound creepy, but i'm obsessed with your music. i'm buying your album the day i get paid. keep making fantastic music.

[@mamapetillo8675]

Her vocals aren’t too far removed from the original. It’d hard for me to really form an honest opinion, cause I love this song too much. But I enjoyed it. So, that’s a plus.

[@leticiab.1642]

QUE LINDOOOOOOOOO

[@lwilkers]

Very nicely done!

[@liamdevlin7410]

Love that moment at 1:55 :)

[@armenarmen]

This. Is. Brilliant. Thank you Mikaela.

[@Dr4conian]

Sounds cool! I'll vote for you on the 17th. Keep it up. Can't wait for the new album.

[@robertkostanczuk5015]

This is great!

[@scotter140]

You know, I’ve watched this a million times and only just noticed the barrier between mikaela and the other guys. What’s that about?

[@MikaelaDavisMusic]

It was to help the drums not bleed into the harp mic since this was recorded live (besides the boys’ backing vox!)

[@michaelplatter3281]

Nice Cover Version from the Original Kinks Song DAVID WATTS

[@cgovea10]

Just Great 😊.

[@michaelplatter3281]

The Kinks are the Kings

[@dixielandfarm]

[@comic4relief]

She sings it convincingly.
