Listen To This: Hum Along With Us

The Kooks have done a great cover of Peter Bjorn & John's instant classic Young Folks.

There's no whistling in the Kooks' version, but they did add a female vocalist for a little pizzaz.

Check it out!

      THE KOOKS ARE THE WORST BAND EVER!
      But we certainly love Peter Bjorn and John!
      Props for the post, Perez.

      Pete Yorn sang a cover of this at ACL last year that was soooo awesome. I wish I could download it somewhere.

      Wow, it suprises me how easily the kooks can homogenize anything to sound exactly like all singles they've released before. If you want a good version of this song check out Dawn Landes' bluegrass cover on youtube. Fiddle instead of the whistling and great backing vocals too.

      Young Folks WAS NOT an instant classic. The song didn't catch on untill at least a year after the album came out

      It's not bad, but definitely not better — I personally like PBJ's version better. I liked the whistling.

      Excelente!!! I do like the Peter Bjorn & John version better, but I really do like this one too!!

      This made me throw up in my mouth a little.

      They're not Swedish and it's just not cricket.

      I HATE IT. and them, but mostly IT.

      the woman is doing a really bad impression of Victoria Bergsman too.

      This song is fantastic, and it's been well and truly butchered.
