The Rubens - 'Hoops' (live for Like A Version)

[@thehappydead1985]

I want to go to Australia. You guys have one of the greatest indie scenes

[@scottdolingo575]

Heap of great live music in Australia especially in Sydney

[@ellefitzpatrick6339]

Heaps of live music in Melbourne too!

[@Demitchii]

All scenes* 💙💙💙 the whole continent’s dope

[@Callumkianrees]

Byron bay aswell

[@alessandra2855]

IKR!! Since I got familiar with the aussie music scene I just can't wait till I'm there

[@staceyreeves5962]

My brother died, horrifically. A while after a close family friend recounted a few months before when he had said aunty, listen to this song. It resonated with him and where he was in his life. Amazing. Your song will resonate with me forever.

[@anavipnet]

I can't stop playing this song, well done guys you deserve the best, passion in every single word

[@raychhbaby1]

I love this song and I voted for it, but - was very shocked that it took out number 1!

[@billyjoseph3259]

+Rachel It was probably a 4th or 5th pick for a lot of people, sheer number of "eh, I need something to vote for" votes sent it to the top.

[@ciaramundo562]

They sound so good live, something lots of artists can’t relate too

[@mattlanselot7717]

This is brilliant. To all haters, suck it, Hoops is the best song on the radio at present

[@lind0865]

Im still smashing this banger in 2022!

[@BellumCarroll]

Congrats on Hottest 100 win.

[@lukes5631]

Just coming back to appreciate during this strange time in Australia. Lockdowns are starting to feel like a hoop.... just going around in circle each time, continuing to do the same thing. On a side note though: that drummer is faaarkin' smooth.

[@clancymcdiarmid6717]

This song is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!

[@Ashley-bk3om]

Omg the fact that they sound exactly the same live.👌👌👌👌

[@scottharris4053]

Still one of the best like a versions. Nailed it.

[@ryanryan21]

at first I was like slappa da bass mon then I was like shred that git sis.

[@jessbogara5428]

Killed it as per usual! Love

[@sonjafleek4160]

Proud of you guys!

[@CallumIvorK]

Love to hear the original recording of what he thought the song could sound like!

[@patrickciccotosto2523]

The pianist's mullet is filthy

[@scottharris4053]

filthy amazing

[@MasonFlynn1]

Warner on the drums

[@shaunamcdonagh829]

I love Zaac,he's so adorable and talented

[@skkye_09]

I loved it triple j

[@Tobias_THFC]

is that david pocock on drums?

[@herox04]

+Tobias Zlotie Or maybe even Dave Warner

[@Tobias_THFC]

***** yea haha

[@thebigoo]

He is about half the size of Pocock.

[@seanimber2976]

+Tobias Zlotie No its Scott Baldwin the drummer for The Rubens

[@Tobias_THFC]

Sean Imber its a joke cause he looks like pocock

[@danuskakupcova9699]

Love this song😀🍷

[@scoopa3054]

Well Deserved Boys!

[@ninjamaddie]

Love this track! 🙌🏼

[@Filn369]

So have you 😊

[@stephencrowley3939]

I come here to watch this about once a week.

[@andrewcatto16]

That was Killer !

[@theozzieflightsimmer1552]

omg this is sooo good....

[@danuskakupcova9699]

My the best

[@scottdolingo575]

Great job would love to see an acoustic arrangement made up my own would love to know how close I am to what they would come up with

[@ethansaywa8268]

fark best song holy shit😍😍

[@kcufdurttnuc5384]

live sounds better than the recording

[@jessicadunphy4260]

Great job!!!

[@vexedrex555]

machines!!!!!!!! 10/10

[@tbinzunza]

Good song :D

[@CruisetheVistas]

I would've thought "The Night Is On Our Side" would've been more of a chance than #1. Nonetheless, great to see a local band taking out the #1 spot. Kudos lads.

[@hannahsoumeya4771]

+CruisetheVistas I actually liked the original or hallelujah much better, I still love this band.

[@kataotr3816]

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@deangnarly]

Like the song, but wondering how it took out 1st place? Didn't know this song was that popular. Ah well, I do like it ☺️

[@dannyd619]

+southern cross tattoo I feel that unlike Kendrick Lamar, Tame Impala etc, The Rubens didn't really have any other songs from the album to pinch votes off! Still a great song but

[@deangnarly]

+dannyd619 yep that's true

[@deangnarly]

+aussie bloke yeah I get what you're saying, your logic makes sense...but it still puzzles me how it was Hoops that was number 1

[@Jalegre]

+aussie bloke While I completely agreed with you, King Kunta wasn't played on typical radio stations, firstly because of the language and second the content. I have a feeling even some of the listeners haven't heard TPAB fully nor know the full meaning of the song. I like hoops, but is a super safe 1st place, King Kunta (I can use many songs in this instance) took the cake in many aspects, it's funky, it has a meaning and people get down with it. Even though Courtney Barnett didn't take first place, a song with similar delivery did.

[@Jalegre]

+aussie bloke completely agree, Kenny has done big things in Australia to my suprise, it just shows how diverse J listeners are. But yes if only J listeners voted I very much doubt hoops being number 1.

[@LiquidRush]

song starts at 0:59

[@pigsrings]

drummer .... drooooool. oh my lordy lord.

[@annabellaar]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@Barncore]

How did this song get #1? It's so "safe"

[@ryan25067]

+NickB33 popularity, alot of people voted for it, so it went to number 1. simple answer for you there

[@CRAiG1255ps3]

Look back at the past no. 1s over the years, it's always been that way.. The Rubens got heaps of radio play across all stations, I think that's what gave it the push to the top in my opinion

[@Barncore]

Craig Denton I think it's more because they only had 1 main song for people to vote for. I.e. Tame Impala's voters were stretched over multiple songs, etc

[@CRAiG1255ps3]

Yeah thats true as well But i think they had 1 more entry?

[@mikesalami7]

Yep that's definitely true, but i guess that's the nature of the beast.

[@KNVBsakanable]

Kudos to Aaron Finch on the Drums!

[@greerandersson5447]

I love this song but I didn't think it would get number 1

[@usernamehere69]

+DaddyNutellaGaming Why bother commenting then?

[@greerandersson5447]

The Big Sexy Cause I am free to voice my opinion and I wanted to see if anyone agreed

[@usernamehere69]

+DaddyNutellaGaming I was being sarcastic. I saw that you replied with "Why bother commenting then?" to another person's comment.

[@greerandersson5447]

True, the level of hypocrisy is strong here. My bad

[@usernamehere69]

+DaddyNutellaGaming All is well.

[@Hellsaint1]

Didn't deserve #1. Australia, I am disappoint.

[@megstillydgn]

Still not sure how this song took out the hottest 100

[@ryan25067]

+megstillydgn popularity, dpes that abboy you hipster soul

[@ryan25067]

+megstillydgn turns out triple j is mainstream, oh dear what is you gonna do

[@megstillydgn]

+ryan25067 stop commenting

[@tarrantclarke9546]

megstillydgn so can u

[@piotrayoush7636]

It's not bad but Tame Impala should be number one

[@merissan5090]

Currents was a masterpiece

[@merissan5090]

I'm only saying "was" because I've discovered some other worthy albums since then

[@piotrayoush7636]

+Kyle Ruff The Rubens is "one-hit" band and you can't even compare them to Tame Impala. Just saying.

[@edwinabeat]

oooooft

[@wildsidemtb]

vanilla

[@SteelWave00]

Okine, that hairline

[@justice4g]

where's the hook? rubbish song

[@greerandersson5447]

Why bother commenting then?

[@Mitchy099]

+justice4germans.com the verses man, real good.

[@AMW1able]

+justice4germans.com not every song needs a hook. I'm guessing you're just upset that "King Cunta" oops i mean "King Kunta" came in 2nd. If Hoops is rubbish, then King Kunta must've already been taken to the tip with the rest of the rap trash that 2015 pumped out en masse

[@makyahkreis965]

Get some taste fuck

[@ArtyWalsh]

+justice4germans.com THIS SONG IS SOO SHIT

[@timothybrozowski8812]

this band would be so much cooler without the average annoying pop vocalist. ditch him and do something cool

[@danzoil]

This song is pretty mediocre and boring. Don't expect much else from Triple J these days.

[@Ray-mv5sq]

boring af

[@ninjamaddie]

Love this track! 🙌🏼
