This is exactly what LAV should be. Incredible cover of an underrated classic.

[@DJKuroh]

I agree, though I'm not sure it qualifies as underrated.

[@sandeesmusic]

This song was ENORMOUS at the time

[@ZombiesAteMyDuck]

@@DJKuroh in the context of the other tracks on that album it was certainly underrated. Not one that gets much radio play anymore either.

[@DJKuroh]

@Jacob Maybe it's just where I live. It gets tons of play here (Nebraska). Out of 6 singles: Ironic hit #4 on the top 100, You Oughta Know/You Learn (bundled) hit #6. No #1 hits on that album, and the rest charted well on or topped genre-related charts (pop, adult contemporary) but not the Top 100. So it still did well against 6 other singles. I would not call it an underrated Alanis song.

[@davidhooper1610]

Underrated? This was a generational defining hit!

[@jaredtansley]

I love that Will is just so damn energetic and into it that he's sweating bullets, and then at the end just chucks out a cheeky thumbs up as if he's still in a garage band trying to go somewhere. Bloke is so authentic and real. 11/10 would listen again

[@australiancryptogroup3831]

Its called being fat. Seen him a few times and the bloke sweats sitting down.

[@adamwest1138]

@@australiancryptogroup3831 you can say that cause he's a bloke, don't you dare say it about Lizzo though

Lizzo’s no Wil Wagner.

They killed this! Total banger.

I love how much he loves playing this.

Some infectious joy in that one, I loved it!

[@wesbennett897]

Unrivalled I believe. I cried.

[@ahhhgooosteeen]

Anytime I need to smile, I watch this video and it never fails. The energy is just so on point!

[@lukekramarz6916]

Holy sh*t the energy!

[@antoniosvorrias9100]

I tripped over this channel surfing in the car this morning. I have never heard any smith street band songs before. To begin with I found the vocals a bit occa, but stayed with it (and glad that I did ) and was totally blown away! I love the original and found the energy, build up, emotion and orchestration behind this version to be totally captivating! Made it home and went looking for it on KZbin straight away. Thanks so much for the upload! Got goose bumps again...

[@Lore92Blink]

Enjoy the smithies ☺️

[@brianklein7147]

For sure.... me too. I think this is Hella tight! Glad I stumbled on this too...

[@HahaDamn]

It’s affectation, people who sing lose their accents

[@tomnutt1913]

@@HahaDamn it’s brings such a real energy when people sing with their true accents. Sly Withers do it really well too and it feel so powerful.

[@liamsloan5410]

Will Wagner is an absolute poet and his vocals (aka "occa accent) only improves his poetry

[@Ryan-tv6cy]

Absolutely killed it!

[@jameswilson6505]

They ABSOLUTELY killed it 👏 🙌 Wonderful work folks 👏 👍

[@samanthan3214]

I can’t stop listening to this. It is so good!

[@lovinSummerday]

Classic! Just an incredible cover and I'm always happy for one of favourite songs to be strained through an ocker accent

[@stefanwagner1841]

This is so underrated, haven’t gotten chills like this for a song in awhile, ace

[@Shrimptomatic]

amazing energy 😍

[@ninefivers]

Smithys always deliver!

[@TheLemonofTroy]

The way that this could easily just be a song written by them is so perfect. Great choice lads

[@MrAlfiew]

Seems like such a humble dude and stoked just to be jamming...so sick

[@okpal83]

One of the best LAV since Gordi's Linkin Park cover. Amazing.

[@theNomadOfficial]

How the F did this not EVEN PLACE in the Top 100 Hottest Like A Versions?!?!? I will die not understanding how some songs placed and this didn't...

[@d-grade]

Don't think it was eligible...Deserved to though!

[@hamishsampson8618]

This is what like a version should be. A band putting there spin on a classic. Well done will and the gang

[@dasistmick4273]

Hear hear.

[@Tiepps]

Not only excellent song choice but perfect execution.

[@djangomango9553]

This is wildly good. My bassist and i have the same dynamic in harmonies as the singer and keybord player here and i feel beautiful about it.

[@_l3m35_]

Nice one. Would love to see Alanis reacting to this version.

[@harrisonphillips3581]

NOICE!!!

[@StayChil]

Every listen is such a good time! Thank you!

[@johnniecoles3925]

Superb. No more words needed!

[@paulholmes8398]

Great version of a 90's classic. They gave that everything. Awsome to see a band with a bit of success not resting on their laurels.

[@EssieRuthMakes]

Out. Standing. What a fkn banger.

[@evilZardoz]

Straight to the hottest 100 shortlist!

[@tashq2til493]

I don’t know the band but the first fill of the drummer playing it all with one (even the left) hand is nuts! 😄

[@blairdenholm4167]

Drummer kills it!

[@johndalenino]

It's like waking up in the 90's again. love the sound!
