[@jamesonfoge]

Good song. Everyone go listen to it.

[@pudding-5916]

Ok

[@dimasmusa221]

why dont we funding this instead of shitty rap music these days

[@jordanfarroreyes1994]

Hello Kongos. Your music it really good. I have only 4 days listening all your albums. I hope that you can come to Ecuador one day.

[@adamyearian9728]

Damn good music guys. Been jamming out to yall at work. This hillbilly gonna get back to it and yall do the same.

[@utkucetinkaya8871]

2 years after that song.They came up with song called “I Want to Know”.Some legend says they still searcing for the truth

[@utkucetinkaya8871]

theConnorGamer ohh,I thought this song was older

[@MaesterPayne]

Legend?

[@rastapastrychief]

@@MaesterPayne Gen Z youngsters love that phrase... "the legend has it.....", very common phrase online

[@halogenie1]

what a proud father John Kongos must be to have produced such talented sons . I love John's earlier stuff ,He's gonna step on you and tokoloshe man in the early 70s , grateful Noreen Faruga United Kingdom!

[@noemigarcia2896]

Best comment ever xD hahahaha 😆

[@charlesleblanc7777]

Tell me about it, come to Moncton boysss

[@BigSowce]

This song kicks ass.

[@jennewmark181]

These guys are incredible. I have a three song rule: I have to hear three songs I like before I buy the album. KONGOS passes. Accordion, five string bass, killer guitar and kick-ass percussion. Sick talent, guys!

[@tarkovbear6651]

i am actually keeping this coment in a notepad to see bout these groups

[@smartalek180]

That is a clever rule. Following that mighta saved me a few bux over the yrs. That said, there've been some albums that I bought for one song, and then eventually, over time, realized I loved other tracks on there, too. U never rly know til u've lived w/the music for a while.

[@dianaconstant9903]

I bought some shirts at a garage sale. They were destined for a play. Among all the shirts, there was one that caught my attention. There was a man with an apple and looking through a book. On the back of the shirt, said the name of this band. I looked it up on the internet and it's how I got here, great music. Casualities that give pleasure.

[@caralynbryan323]

i only found them recently by accident i like accidents now

[@theartofts]

First band I've discovered worth listening to for years!

[@jason-ed6qs]

try these on. july talk, glorious sons, highly suspect

[@duckchowles5145]

I so agree - very rare to find a 21st Century band with any depth

[@noneyabidniz8775]

I get it , I really Do ! --- But Ya gotta @ least give `` The Revivalists`` a Try , They Dont Suck !

[@julesroy3469]

I love the way this was made.... the camera placements and the way their footage was put together... The song fits so well with the video and the energy of the song bleeds through this performance and it's assembly.... Simply AMAZING!

[@luanvorster641]

That's how we do it in South Africa.

[@terrijlange5772]

The very first time I heard "Come With Me Now" I went out and bought Kongos Lunatic CD. There is at least 4 of the songs on that CD that should be playing on the air. I just love the way they have the cameras set up on all the band members during "Hey I Don't Know," it is so cool to watch! Money well spent on this album!!!!

[@n33wom]

Hey everybody, shall we just go and see these guys live... like right now?

[@jacoblucas4259]

If you get the chance to see them live, do it. I saw them live and I'd probably stab a guy with a screwdriver (Don't judge me) to do so again.

[@DiogoGuereiro95]

I saw them too and I'd do the same thing.. Just saying... They are realy awsome live.

[@rexrussell3433]

Jacob Lucas oh God, I'm going to laugh for a week! Would love to see a live show, concert videos are nice, but these Go-Pro cams or whatever are making me I'll with all the bobbing about! Bring on the drones!

[@itsameman]

Ryan Gooslinger I've seen Kongos in concert twice now, and I can assure you these guys fucking ROCK ! ! !

[@badbug_music]

Ryan Gooslinger Ok, let's go :)

[@therestingrancor8259]

Being a KONGOS fan, I listen to them ALL THE TIME♥️🤘♥️🤘 Who's here 2024

[@mike0122ful]

I listen to them everyday.

[@TheSplint3r]

Always nice to find a musically talented band nowadays, not many left.

[@Megacooltommydee]

No. Only pop music sucks. You just have to look for the obscure but good ones.

[@figure.09]

Indeed!

[@arktic17]

not many left? There are actually a tons of talented artist out. It's just hard to get noticed/ exposure those days

[@juliejones8919]

Arnaud Roblin That's what social media is for...

[@kevinbrands5988]

I wonder if people realize that since the beginning of music people pretty much say that about every current generation's music. I mean I'm 29 and I'll here some crap on the radio from Minaj or some shit rapper and catch myself about to say, "man, music sucks nowadays.... nothing like back in my day." Then I remember "Baby Got Back," "Me So Horny," and "Push It" and all the other songs from the 80s and early 90s about dumb ass shit. EVERY generation is full of shitty music. Like in the movie Live Free or Die Hard, just because music is old doesn't make it "classic." There are plenty of bands out there like Kongos, the music they play just isn't commercial enough. Sex sells, that's no secret. I mean why do you think Katy Perry has a career? Her big ol titties and the fact she's nice to look at is a major if not only reason. Ever hear her sing live at an awards show??? She clearly didn't "make it" because of her "talent." Minaj is only famous for her ass. So yeah, sex sells. Kongos seem to have found (delayed) fame with this album despite it coming out like 2 years ago. There next album might be big, but then after that I bet they fall back into obscurity or at least out of the limelight. Much like the Black Keys. BK was huge like 3 or so years ago. No one heard them beforehand despite having multiple albums out and no one is really raving and playing the shit out of their newest album. Cage the Elephant, Mumford and Sons, etc. all have their brief moment in the sun and then fall off. Imagine Dragons is likely the next one to fade away. Sure they might have a huge fan base still, but as far as them getting radio airplay or a ton of attention on MTV/VH1...... not so much. On youtube their videos might get 10+ million views but that's about it. Point.... there's plenty of awesome music out there. You just got to know where to look. It's definitely not the radio and MTV anymore as good sources for NEW great music. Online.... youtube, spotify, pandora, last.fm...... etc. are all great places to find bands. The radio and MTV only play top 40..... if that, more like top 20 hits, and thanks to the younger generation that is usually shit like Bieber, Perry, Gaga, and Rhianna. So if you're young and complain about music "nowadays" you have only your peers to blame. Tween obsessed girls are usually the dictators of what comprises the "mainstream" music.

[@MegSilver]

The only band who can do disco and rockabilly at the same time... Epic.

[@bowpilot55]

Life cant get any better than this for John Kongos... four supremely talented sons , following in his footsteps.. Nothing can possibly compare ....

[@Godflesh88v2]

A rare thing, a band that carves out its own ORIGINAL sound, and writes good tunes along the way.

[@WindFireAllThatKindOfThing]

GoPros and groovy road trip music. Win.

[@brucereinhardt222]

I'll second that "This song kicks ass"

[@Achlys94]

This is a band I'd fangirl over. I am not ashamed of this.

[@sinistergrey3]

I swear these guys are one of the best bands I've heard in a LONG LONG time, I can only hope record labels and their B.S. "producers" don't F*** with anything this band does AT ALL! as they have lightning in a bottle! their album "Lunatic" is amazing from start to finish and you don't have to skip a single song!

[@bradmichael3948]

Just discovered these guys..... have half their songs already...did not disappoint.... and I hate listening to the same groups songs back to back but not theirs... so much range...love it...like CCR meets rock meets blues jazz in a shaker... not stirred.

[@chendakou2307]

"Hey I Don't Know" ~ Kongos Tears are shed, a shame I should have known I should have thought I could have thought Before I cast that stone The waves radiate far and wide There's a ringing in my ears For a minute I think I'm going blind Tears are shed, a shame I should have known The crown weighs heavy Heavy as I sit back in my throne I say hey, it wasn't me I'm just a pawn But the devil's not into details Where have all the heroes gone? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? The dream is broken Now the mind must be woken So what are you waiting for Tell me what's the hesitation? What are you waiting for Tell me what is the delay? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? The victor earns the title "The Great" All the mysteries get unlearned All the history just becomes a string of dates The hordes overrun in a clean sweep Destroying everything that was built Where's the glory in making mothers weep? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? The dream is broken Now the mind must be woken So what are you waiting for Tell me what's the hesitation? What are you waiting for Your special invitation? What are you waiting for Tell me what is the delay? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Hey I don't know, why don't you tell me? Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Jesse Dean Kongos Hey I Don't Know lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

[@agonyxin101]

Why doesn't this song get played on the radio? It's so much better than "come with me now"

[@bedlamnfse]

love it......reminds me of old school good stuff....rock on lads and loving the vibe.

[@lady2lord]

This reminds me of 'gonna step on you' was living in SOuth Africa,Johannesburg, when Johnny Kongos was doing the rounds and so happy to hear the tradition of father to sons has been passed on...... yOu guys rock, and we have a radio station in Dublin, Ireland called Radio Nova, that play ur songs...... So there you go an NICE ONE for the BURUNDI drummers, I'm only joking

[@racketman2u]

Linda Garizio yes, Step On You is a great song, the later aussie Party Boys cover in the 80s was big here in NZ too.

[@lady2lord]

Oh how nice is that

[@candanceligate4236]

Hey it's Candace. I WAS a huge fan. I was @ your concert at The University of Calgary. Your talent and passion WAS amazing. Your music doesn't have that anymore. Very very disappointing. Do you think your mom and dad are pleased with the 4 of you? I was a fan and loved ur talent. Wtf changed? Sincerely T.C.F

[@dawson9652]

It almost has a 70's vibe going on.

[@rohanbester2937]

There father were a 60'-70's singer. John Kongos. Probably inspiration from that......

[@claireholtak1711]

Think the best compliment you can give songwriters is that the song is totally stuck in your head - and you don't mind a bit! Love the Kongos!

[@smartalek180]

That is an *excellent* observation. I'm gonna remember that.

[@candy72487]

Absolutely love this band, first heard the acoustic version of this song on a local radio station and now I'm obsessed with them!

[@Osric24]

The bassist skipping in circles makes this as fun to watch as the song is to listen to. Love these guys even almost 10 years later.

[@PrinceDawson]

2019 and I still cannot stop listening to this song ♥

[@gsurfer04]

This gets stuck in my head far too easily.

[@megantaylor6194]

Six million views since 2012 damn people undervalue this band

[@gt40f]

Turn the bass up and give him some solos. The bass line makes all the good songs. Five string bass for the win.

[@DucLeJaques]

Just went to their show last night! They give him a lot of solos live!! So good!!!

[@anonymouswaffle33]

My new favorite group!

[@EmanuelPoggio]

The 4 are brothers? Hell yeah!

[@MegaZephie]

I just discovered this band when in a car listening to the radio a couple of weeks ago. I stopped viewing and listening to media for over a year as a kind of fast thing, so I've been out of the loop when it comes to many things. This is one band that really has a sound I like, and I am thankful for the talent. I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of the songs on your channel. I haven't gone to a concert in a very long time, but I will keep my eyes open for when you come to my area. Thanks again and keep creating! :)

[@Rtrt67]

Same here. I discovered them earlier this week while driving to Tulsa and listening to the EDGE out of Oklahoma City I think. It was the "Come With Me Now" song.

[@MegaZephie]

Rtrt67 Yes, that's the one that plays on the radio stations here too. I came here to check out the other songs they play, and I just love them too. I'm really hoping I will be able to make it to the concert here in a few weeks. :D

[@agonyxin101]

I love this song! The funny thing is that when I first heard "Come with me now" a month or 2 ago on the radio, I didn't really care for it. But they are airing the crap out of it and it got stuck in my head. Eventually it really grew on me and now I like it a lot. :-) So I came to check out their other stuff and was like: "Crap...they're actually really awesome!!!" The album is now on repeat for me. I wish we knew about them a few years ago when the album actually came out.

[@agonyxin101]

"Hey I don't know" and "I wanna know" are my faves, but the entire album rocks!

[@davidtaylor3488]

I, too, just recently discovered this band. I was scanning TV channels and stumbled upon their "Come With Me Now" video. I was hooked. Got on line and found all this other great music. Best band is years!

[@milagrosretamozo305]

Se merecen que todo el mundo los conozca... su música no tiene explicación. Lo "perfecto no existe" pero esta banda sin duda lo es!!!!!!

[@user-td6mt2ww8v]

лучшая группа в наше время . Всем респект!!!

[@Aspidokhelone]

I now know what the world looks like from the perspective of a guitar... my dream...

[@edm4901]

This song still SLAPS!

[@taradresbach4684]

I love how where the GoPros make Dylan and Danny's movements look unreal. Mounting them on their headstocks was brilliant!

[@mammoneymelon]

I love Kongos so damn much.

[@beckicyr5390]

This Band is Wicked, Love their beat and sound, something new with mixed genres

[@inthesetimesspeakingforthemind]

That bass line - and screen splits - really well produced - dad must be so proud!

[@rikwarren3999]

Rockin' I can't believe I didn't discover these guys until recently. Thank you Pandora.

[@WayAround97]

Love love loveee

[@AngryKittens]

I was afraid they would be a one-hit wonder like so many others when I first came across "Come With Me Now" and loved it. But the more I listen to their other songs, the more I'm impressed. These guys are really good.

[@AngryKittens]

Hm. I think I can put a finger to what they remind me of: a meld between Imagine Dragons and Cage The Elephant. :D

[@colleencook837]

Angreh Kittunz its the drums!! loved imagine dragons radioactive. then no more songs of the same intensity. kongos has more of that appeal for me.

[@TheTexasTroll]

Every bit a tribute to their rock star father. What a family!

[@zzxxxlll]

great music, i`ve just listened this band and I love them
