Thanks for the nostalgia Emily!

[@itstaylor1165]

Thank you Emily is Away for helping me find this amazing song :)

[@jordan6874]

7 years on and still so much love for this song

[@madameaena]

THIS is why I fell in love with the Kooks. The first song I heard when I KNOW that's The Kooks. The voice, the guitars ... and everything.

[@goodmorningchelsey]

I'm a huge MGMT fan, and I love Kids (as well as all of their music) but this cover is better than the original, seriously! :D I can't stop listening

[@katem3]

the way he says 'water' in the second verse makes me want to die a bit haha along with 'crying'

[@NewBeginnings95]

That moment of absolute bliss when you come across a beautiful version of a song like this...

[@anitagm90]

Love The Kooks and MGMT! Two of my favorite bands ever!

[@necrodancing]

emily is away is so cool for introducing me this

[@Lloydead]

If you don't like this version compared to the original, then you most probably don't like bands. So don't say this cover is bad; be more open minded.

[@SpaceGhost999]

even though that makes no sense, i'm inclined to agree with you.

[@Lloydead]

hahaha, I think my point was because this cover is performed by a band, and those that dislike it are usually the ones that don't like bands in general. But anyhow, thanks for agreeing :)

[@StoufSto]

Netshark1000 lol what? MGMT are a group as well...

[@Lloydead]

I was referring to the genre.

[@speedracer77]

If you do like this version then that means you hate music and are a holocaust denier.

[@82katieb]

Love these guyz x

[@TheTornPrince87]

our band did a cover of this for our music class. we had shakers and bongos and a violin and an organ, and i played the acoustic guitar, then we topped it off with a three part harmony...our teacher gave us full marks and made us perform for our school. this song is so well written and we had an awesome time!

[@MrRand0mGamer]

holy shit the latest comments are old.

[@mayorepicface._.2559]

I know the feeling, man.

[@martinrose6357]

@@mayorepicface._.2559 only been three comments since too...

[@SolMaster]

For anyone who wants to figure this out on guitar, this is what sounded alright to me: Put a capo on the second fret and then the chord shapes in the progression are Em, C, and then the G shape with the low E string going from the third to second fret after four beats. Rinse and repeat.

[@WeShallNeverStop]

Bloody brilliant!

[@pimpdaddyjackie]

one of the best covers ever...

[@thebeatlesequallove]

Absolutely love both versions. MGMT's is amazing and really catchy but The Kooks' version is so beautiful. It's just as brilliant as the original, if not, more. I also love that it's a British band that covered the song; it gives a much different feel to it.

[@Ilonaaproductions]

The Kooks+ MGMT= awesome
