Tame Impala is going down in the music history books. I'm glad to live in this generation with them making this type music

[@kennyg03]

Kev forgot the lyrics at the beginning only cuz he didn't have his shoes off.

[@igorlthn1109]

you won.

[@the.corvidian]

I don't think I've ever heard someone re-sing a studio release and it sounds this accurate to the original, very impressive

[@floyd904]

0:00 - 0:27 Jay was playing International Feel by Todd Rundgren.

[@YemIso]

Sasha Withers yeah it's awesome

[@melchiortod29]

thank you!

[@beflygelt]

thanks, knew that was familiar

[@superdroneofficial6117]

LOVE LOVE LOVE

[@martingiova1682]

YEEEEESSSSSSSSS

[@19RaxR91]

0:39 - 0:43 From an angel to an aussie drunk. Lovin it!

[@jorollo1337]

Its so fucking funny dude! haha the angelical voice vs your dad drunk in the christmas dinner

[@abdulrahimmajid9612]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@ThrashAndBurn7]

Kevins instrument makes this one sound kind of like a lullaby and I love it!

[@murraythedemonhead]

Looks like I'm going to need a 1983 Casio DG20 Electric guitar set to Electric Mandolin...

[@mattydigs]

Btw the song at the beginning is "Internation Feel" (also "Le Feel Internacionale") off of Todd Rundgrens classic acid-damaged album "A Wizard, A True Star". Good stuff on there. If you need the chords for it I'm sure they are online in a bunch of places.

[@apian29]

Masterpiece album

[@emezix]

He is so good live

[@Fanny-gm2hb]

i love when kevin touches his hair, adorable haha

[@Ash_Hudson]

Makes him seem quite self conscious

[@kobebeef415]

@@Ash_Hudson or gay

[@ckngmad1357]

u can touch my hair too girl

[@SEATTLEKID2o6]

Love the intro by jay

[@tparker2095]

It's "International Feel" by Todd Rundgren, Lonerism was heavily inspired by that whole album.

[@kingdomofheavenmusic3]

Dude.....that guitar though.

[@xanadune_music_storage_rea1794]

Casio synth guitars... they don't look good on anybody but Kevin Parker

[@xanadune_music_storage_rea1794]

(lead singer and guitarist of Tame Impala)

[@ZJMcdougall]

+Wilhelm Ljunggren What about Bret Mckenzie from FotC?

[@iJohnnyZac]

+Zack McDougall Hahahaha that's a different story mate

[@thehonkening1]

casio dg20

[@henryloic2194]

9 years later, still magic

[@DelusionalVoice]

That synth patch Jay is using for International Feel is so awesome

[@lunxfusion7814]

What is it called and how can I get it GarageBand?

[@jamcam80s]

Just got the chill down my spine when the vocals kicked in. Very much in the same vein as John Lennon's vocals for 'A Day in the Life'... beautiful. Love this band.

[@michaelgibson4523]

The only thing I don't like about this video is the fact kev is wearing proper shoes! Hahaha

[@jamiedionaabbott1320]

This is amazing I wish someone had his best vocals in compilation form

[@legomyfego]

you're definitely hearing his real voice, but that echo-y effect on it is just the delay. i don't think his voice has been pitch-corrected.

[@Bouchon211]

1:43 he forgets to sing the backup vocals and gets the look of death lol!

[@tomseventyr]

I absolutely love this! First I thought the song actually started when the keyboard player started singing, but after that I just laughed. And the humbelness at the beginning!.. Missing the lyrics, and just sitting there. I can't explain in words how the song itself made me feel. Have a feel for yourself! CHEERS FROM NORWAY!!!

[@bjornsun2325]

that intro was stunning

[@pinktallgirl94]

Seeing them live in 2 months. I cannot wait!

[@kandycec]

This is so sweet

[@divinoe4540]

KEVIN WEARING SHOES?!?!?!?!

[@gasolineandwine]

1:41 Kevin's glare of doom.

[@crazyequalsfun]

I like that they're so jovial in these sessions! Pretty unusual for a band, considering I've seen a lot of these.

[@sabrinasmusic]

Favourite track off the album.

[@Brofist004ever]

This is beautiful

[@conitatopisima]

this is magic

[@crlchs]

I fell in love with Feels Like on Jools Holland, but it was taken off of KZbin... : (This is the first version as good as that one was. ) Thank you!!!! Love Tame Impala!

[@yiannev]

So lovely

[@Quixoticelixer23]

They already are a big thing. They're great.

[@PERRYFILM]

i can't believe he was playing International Feel (my favorite song by Todd Rundgren)! I'm officially in love with this band!!

[@antoninavirduzzo5492]

Beautiful

[@missedithc]

they are going to be a big thing.

[@dominicfaucher4956]

I prefer this to the studio version. Well done!

[@phw1102]

fantastic...

[@mysweetchord4464]

This needs to be more popular, I'm starting to like them.

[@alifadaoed]

Favorit!!

[@prateadox]

Best music ever

[@SwankGod]

so beautiful :')

[@juliennguyen1730]

Like someone said in an article, Parker sounds like "John Lennon's voice from a day in the life stuck in a bottle and taught to sing new songs"

[@writingthefuture]

wow that's really neat! what article was that, by chance?

[@danielmata4655]

The article refers to “I’m only sleeping” not “a day in the life”. For your health

[@Zoolanda27]

I love Kevin, I love this song, I love everything and anything Tame Impala

[@ritasanchezsolis3701]

Amazing

[@drananasz]

Awesome, thank you!

[@rorscachbestbud123]

thanks so much man!

[@woowoo4397]

I love this version better than the original. The original gives me an existential crisis- this feels like a "*hug* I get you"😭

[@maxipriest96]

So good...

[@gaam72]

So good

[@deftonesluvrr]

this whole session just deserved live drums

[@TrueFallacy]

This is one of the best tracks of 2012..

[@louisbrody582]

This is dope!!!!!!

[@jakej654]

[@kajuiceboi3592]

Love the "international feel" cover at the start

[@gizzellevaldivia8061]

gosh they are way too adorable for me to handle.

[@denisepaulsenful]

KP's like a teddy you have when you're like 4-yrs old and you drag the teddy around with you. I can't leave the house without my KP lined up for a cheeky listen wherever I go. He's my pacifier.

[@DezFramboesas]

they already are for me

[@Luna19942_]

I love jay

[@sinnombre662]

magico:(!

[@7CeLsO7]

Stop saying he sounds like John Lennon, or the whole band sound like The Beatles. That's not true! I think they are quite special, aren't they?

[@thehonkening1]

Celso Ons They are the definition of unique. But it IS very similar to the style of John Lennon from the 60s.

[@gabrielpaixaoful]

Celso Ons Why is it a big deal man? Is it so bad to be compared to The Beatles? A lot of bands are, and YES they sounds a lot like the psychedelic Beatles, and they keep being special and a very good band.

[@moskydosky]

Celso Ons I think , the beatles have some Pscycodelic songs that get a little bit of the tame impala way, but The beatles are Rock revolution arent they? , yes it is..

[@Annie1962]

Cristian Cárcamo you seriously need to listen to an album by the beatles called 'Rubber soul"

[@supercat1997]

Celso Ons Well it's kinda a compliment for me

[@Jibbuns]

Just saw a band called Gumbo Variation who reminded me of Impala. Awesome psychedelic band!

[@angelilly]

Lovin you❤guys❤

Just got a casio dg-20 cause of this video! First thing I did was start playing this song. Yea, I buy stuff cause I see it on tv/youtube.

[@sturdeehouse]

+daniel duran Yeah I just got a woolly jumper with patterns on and dyed my hair copper

[@danielduran4077]

Lucky...

Was it worth it? I'm thinking of buying it too. Sounds so cool.

[@joefried4381]

i have one for sell

[@joefried4381]

i have sold every instrument i owned but kept this guy. The real question is, why would you want a casio dg-20 i promise you that it will not make you write great music and is absolutely a novelty item, just the best novelty item ever made. BTW i really have one from japan and am considering selling. I know I am two years late on the comment but hey if you really wanted it. two years is nothing

[@maggietweedie1160]

funky studio

[@dalejail]

they already are and if you heard their debut when it came out you would know that

[@cuittu]

yesterday, at the London gig, Kevin started singing the wrong song, like here, and they just looked at each other and smiled!

[@rloasby]

INTERNATIONAL FEEL BY RUNDGREN! Nice one Gumby!

[@Hopbeliving]

yeah, sooo alike
