Basement Jaxx - Metropole Orkest - Do Your Thing - 2010

[@UncleWalter1]

I love that intro. I especially love that real dank Garibaldi kind of groove against the really colourful orchestration.

[@SheikhMohammed]

A truly dazzling, but also perfectly mastered musical fireworks : perfect pitch, coordination, rhythms, balance : almost miraculously, no one in this huge crowd stands in the way of any of the others. Beyond the sheer jubilation shared by all on stage (and in the audience), I'm struck by the huge amount of quality work that was successfully invested in this piece. Inspiration and hard work are such a brilliant combination!

[@WillieWagglestick]

This has cheered me up so much tonight!! Their happiness is infectious. I've never heard anything like this in my life!

[@Ace_of_Horns]

Considering how much of a swing band style the original song has, despite not having any brass instruments in it, i always hoped they did an orchestral version of this song. Glad to see my prayers answered.

[@esmundial078]

2024 still miles high with this performance!!!

[@ianashw9751]

The violinists are LOVIN' it, you don't see violinists smile often! :-)

[@timmyneedham]

I think that is Alida Schat.

[@robmccoy2934]

Amazing how good the orchestra is and how well they work with the vocals. I just love this tune..

[@tima67]

Words cannot describe how awesome this is!

[@eleo_b]

I have watched this numerous times. This time I noticed how well this was filmed. Any time a certain instrument stands out, from percussion to piano to the trumpets, they’re always in shot.

[@ijohannesen2694]

Found myself smiling so widely while watching this I had to comment. Good, fun, lovely. The joy exhibited by the singer is contagious, I love how she moves.

[@ARTUNAGER]

GORGEOUS!!! THAT ENTRANCE OF THE SINGERS....WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!

Sensational. Stumbled across this and was blown away by the infectious joy of all involved. Always loved Do you Thing and this orchestral version is a great tribute.

[@johnrowland3105]

This is one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever heard or seen. Genius.

[@ramoncitoelbueno9631]

Sorry, had to revisit one of the best happiest fun groove-time videos i have ever known. I cannot believe all the talented people that make this presentation so sweet! Again, thank you all at the Metropole for posting. Much love from Denver!

[@GoGoFiasco]

This made my heart & soul smile... :)

[@Jaewalker518]

OMG this is just amazing!!!!!

[@Ruoktoday1]

Love that big band sound..This song is a bit reminiscent of the Andrew Sister's style

[@eleo_b]

@2:00 how the conductor stops the trumpets. Fascinating.

[@farisasmith7109]

This song always makes me happy!

[@Wizardofro]

Very Happy SONG!

[@ramoncitoelbueno9631]

This is a really fantastic and incredible version of Basement Jaxx! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

Saludos desde Denver, EU! Had to find some fun tonight...you guys still rock! I obviously know where to find good times. Gracias!

[@mikevieirra]

This is freaking awesome! Classy!

[@playagohan]

2:14 Nahh that piano hook HIT different

[@gabe_s_videos]

When I clicked on this, I told myself "How the hell are hey going to do this for an orchestra." Silly me, of CORSE they'd do it as a big band song.

[@harm7602vicount-Visconti]

This orchestra is so talented in adapting styles, they can do everything seemingly effortless. They where founded by the NOS (like BBC but Dutch) and in the beginning funded by Dutch taxpayers. After this was cut significantly crowdfunding became their source (with ofcource boxoffice aswell) they managed to survive for decades, and still going strong. You just gotta love them👍🏻

[@1951dirk]

OMG WHY AM I CRYING W H Y

[@harm7602vicount-Visconti]

[@alipardiwala]

3:55 when the conductor stops conducting to turn around and tell you to shut your mouth.

[@Ratbiker]

I can’t help it think from the movie Cats Don’t Dance “Nothings gonna stop us now”

[@knockshinnoch1950]

Awesome sauce!

[@michaelbenoit9240]

Definitely one of the best orchestras in the world. There's room for improvement, but they're definitely on the right track.

[@kiasa1005]

Blues are already gone...didn't even make it to the vocals. Great orchestration and talented players, too. Keep up the great work! Best Wishes from Denver, CO, EU.

Who was the arranger? Fantastic use of the big band and importantly the rest of the orchestra especially the strings. Extraordinary arrangement overall.

02:00 is what your looking for

[@aldebaran.carrasco.martinez]

No.

[@gaelanmccann324]

Could have done without the intro. I nearly closed the video before it got good.

[@eleo_b]

Gaelan McCann | Great buildup. It’s not for the video, it’s for the people who were there, so they can’t click out anyway.

[@b33p]

"Great buildup. It’s not for the video, it’s for the people who were there, so they can’t click out anyway." absolutely. I love the buildup either way.

[@TheCornishCockney]

no patience.the plague of todays youth...... i want it NOW or I'm skipping.good job we had the patience to listen to great albums in the 70's and 80's and make them huge sellers,thus influencing everyone after that.

0:44 - Donald Trump playing bari???

[@saxophonenut]

Donald wouldn't know how to play in section….it's the Metropole Orkest's long-standing baritone saxophonist Max Boeree

[@harm7602vicount-Visconti]

He can’t even hold a tune, let alone a bari😂

[@aminalmane6570]

het nummer hey you vind ik veel beter klinken dan dit nummer

[@WithoutJustice]

Many non-white musicians do NOT get the credit they deserve. For example, Basement Jaxx "Do your thing" samples the song entitled "Fungii Mama" by KENNY BARRON. The original "Fungii Mama" is by TOM BROWNE. 😞😞 END RACISM AND CLASSISM (in music).

[@marijnfranse3799]

Got tears in my eyes at the last part, truly amazing!
