You should be

[@matthewbucher8227]

Haha I love it

[@avevo87]

WOW! im so glad he did this. My first thought when hearing the orginal was that peter gabriel would have made this song epic and he goes and does it. Im speechless

[@neverender33]

"and it feels so unnatural to sing your own name" i laugh ever time i hear that xD

[@alasyon]

Art collapsing on itself in a beautiful way

[@ChrisCreel]

I'm having a terrible week, and I heard this song on the radio on my way home tonight...it made me feel so much better. One of the most inspired covers I've heard in a long long time. Thanks PG.

[@NeverSaySandwich1]

You're welcome

[@jessicamoen448]

This makes me happy because I love this song and I love Peter!! Also i love that he is aware of this song and how his name being in the song make no sense what-so-ever :)

[@earthwielder]

When I hear this song, I think of cute little owls hooting along.

[@dukestravels]

he’s so pure i’m in love with him

[@DraftDodger69420]

I remember hearing this for the first time in 08 on the Hipster Runoff show on Sirius XM's indie station. I loved it so hard but time let me forget about it. I just tripped down a KZbin rabbit hole and stumbled onto the song again, and I couldn't be happier! Cheers, this cover can make anyone smile.

[@richgilb]

Peter Gabriel sang this BECAUSE he is mentioned in the lyrics. That's the point.

[@Mmxxaamm]

And because the son of the owner of XL records goes to the same school as Gabriel's kids, let's not forget about that

[@didjano]

@@Mmxxaamm 9 years later bro??

[@itzcruz8216]

I want this song to play as I wake up every morning.

[@GamingLateAtNight]

this cover captures an emotion ive yet to fully discover

[@miaclee]

this made me happy and the singing your own name line made me smile but got did i hate it

[@Liverino]

And it feels so unnatural/ to sing your own name

[@tyronewarren6662]

🗣 *Pure class & hot chip handle the rhythms very nicely!* 💯🎵🎵

[@xxEndOfSanctuaryxx]

i love this song..i cant stop listening to it...Peter Gabriel is amazing

[@danieljwa]

Wow! Here's one for the history books!

[@sfgvrich]

Wow, Peter Gabriel actually covering this song. That's cool. When I first heard this song on an Olan Rogers video, I was excited because I love Peter gabriel. But I didn't know who the artist was for a long time.

[@andreavader]

Good cover, Peter Gabriel is great, love it

[@EnyaRitchie]

This is the sweetest thing I have ever heard

[@dmrsk1899]

Now I think this song will be bearable for my parents to listen........

[@Lia-A-Eastwood]

Especially PG skipping the f*** part. ;) ;)

[@Zabble929]

Fantastic cover, jeez. Also love the fact that he responded to the reference in song.

[@MisterTIBS]

14 years later, better late than never!

[@loggapocca9783]

This is so beautiful. Gotta love Grabriel.

[@KendamaKicker]

"Feels so unnatural Peter Gabriel too.... and it feels so unnatural to sing your own name!" XD

[@tamereigh]

hes still got it another classic

[@cthullhu23]

Heard this when it was released, and haven't been able to find it anywhere since. Many thanks, MaroonCafe, for posting this

[@imperial1237]

Blown sideways. This is incredible ❤

[@Lia-A-Eastwood]

Never ever heard this one! Wow... Peter Gabriel is and will stay a surprise, even after 37 years. o.O

[@CosmicConditions]

So amazing.

[@lillyandalex]

this is the greatest thing my ears have ever heard.

[@HealerLeona]

How utterly delightful! :)

[@laker2125]

both versions are great

[@poet59]

PG put his stamp on this. You must remember that the band Vampire Weekend makes the music in a more traditional Afropop sound. PG likes molding both the old and the new together. I like both versions but I must say the original is my favorite. I have always been a fan of Peter Gabriel.

[@TravelerKM]

Oh my god, this is awesome.

[@JenniferJuniper7]

I love this!! It feels so unnatural to sing your own name! :)

[@ClausEb]

AWESOME!!! Cute song!!!

[@shiona59]

Peter, you're a legend!

[@youngchaser89]

Does not strike me as odd. Because I am also a black college student and i listen to bands like Vampire Weekend, Ra Ra Riot, Passion Pit, Kings Of Leon, Dirty Projectors, Grizzly Bear and the list goes on. Its just good music. You should listen to whatever music you enjoy because music has no color.

[@lock1278]

Tell that to the rap and hip hop gate keepers

[@chammashannah]

love it.

[@katiusciavalentini3807]

è tutto così meraviglioso!!!!

[@ajv3491]

This one is a really nice cover!

[@alexverrilli]

this is pretty sweet

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Wait, I've just realized this... Peter Gabriel is mentioned in the lyrics, and now he's singing them :)

[@seniorgrocco]

Well... no shit.

[@makissoflife]

Great cover. . .well done Peter and Hot Chip! . . ."it feels so unnatural to sing your own name". . . : )

[@inxia38]

I love both versions of this song. Why compare them? I mean, do I prefer steak or pizza? Crosswords or Sudoku? Trains or ferries? Koalas or wombats? Syphillus or hepatitis?

[@AdrianDeVore]

Great cover!

[@vincentvega652]

this is soo goood

[@softerthanrain]

uhm, i'm in love with this.

[@jstone32]

great damned song, just wish I could find it online somewhere to fully download.

[@JUSALOMAYAN2]

[@PainterX97]

"and it feels so unnatural, like singing your own name"

[@bugoygoygoy]

"it feels so unnatural to sing your own name"--awesome line! vocals is kind of weird,nonetheless good cover!

[@kieranvogel]

this rules.

[@Quicheuhhh]

@youngchaser89 THANKYOU ! i totally agree i hate this idea of people saying people of a certain social status/ ethnicity can't listen or produce music that isn't natrual to them like it's illegal to mix music cultures together , i find the music is more diverse if you do that but for some reason people want to complain !

[@lisasheridan8234]

Thanks Dee!

[@rubberchix]

Yeye, man. I agree.

[@lieutenantrox8514]

LETTTSSSS GOOOO

[@anthonycolvill.2622]

Fun! Even rock stars can have fun :)

[@akillerkidofcolor]

@youngchaser89 Same here-- and I totally agree.

[@Sheaves1993]

haha they're like obsessed with him

[@lillyandalex]

best part

[@myuzeefreak]

I fell immediately in love with VW the first time I listened to them coz they're heavily influenced by African music. The very moment I heard the guitar in the very first song I listened to I was like, "Holy shit!" This sounds like home!". Home being *somewhere in East Africa*. VW's guitar-playing is just so East African-sounding it's not even funny...

[@spiderpunk100]

haha, this is awesome!!!

[@TheAlexhotz]

.......that was beutiful

[@emmahke]

agree! I'd love to hear "it feels so unnatural, Ezra" though ;>

[@MarlaKether]

They're not generic at all, what they do is totally original: mixing indie rock with afro-pop and some reggae. Like seriously generic? Hipster kids? Well I guess they're kind of hipsters but how can you say they're generic hipsters? It's that an oxymoron/contradiction? I Think Ur A Contra.

[@jenikat]

Freaking hilarious!

[@chinoodian]

Hahaha! That's what I was thinking

[@Auntvicki123]

Joyful

[@ricksamericana749]

Good on you, Peter Gabriel.

[@MoonchildMindaugas2]

Yeah :)

[@WolfBoy723]

@parkourzeus I agree with you I became a fan after I heard Aha Shake Heartbreak now I got all there albums. They like trying new stuff which is what i like about them, im not saying I didnt like Only By The Night, its just the people who say there fans and only heard one song from them. I love the newest one though, Come Around Sundown

[@mutaned0]

hahahah, peter rocks!!!

[@WolfBoy723]

@levipl Nah not to me and ive been a Gorillaz fan since 2001 haha but big ups to Peter Gabriel ive also adored his music since I was a kid and heard red rain for the first time

[@nafost]

Where can I download this song? iTunes doesn't carry it.

[@eveandsavannah]

Is this available on ItUnes?

[@Jalisalisa5]

@youngchaser89 i like want to love your comment cus i like vampire diaries and love kings of leon ! buh all my friends are like "your weird"

@TheDivineAberration awww you are so cute! Making assumptions about people you don't know on the internet...Don't worry, I'm 100% African. I do know where I'm from, seeing as I was born there and live there. I just didn't feel like giving out details about my personal life on youtube, is all.

"and it feels so unnatural, to sing your own name..." hahaha

cut out kings of leon and you're all set my friend...
