14 years later and Orlando being so proper and english that he couldn't force himself to sing the 'sexing ladies all night long' part of the bridge will never not be top tier comedy. We need to give these guys an award for committing to the bit.
Love this version but have to stop singing it in work, everyone keeps asking am I singing Black Eyed Peas.... and yes technically I am but in my head it's this version
the original song was played tonight at the bar I work in and I realised that I actually know lyrics of this shit quite well because of The Maccabees cover...
Definitely should of said "the Maccabee's drop the beat now" instead of "Will I Am drop the beat now" Cause there was only one song that dropped the beat so hard , global panick was that someone dropped a nokia phone .
@planetyes just so you know (I think) the Maccabees is a Jewish? group. I've heard them sing songs to dynamite: Jewish version and some other song. Their really good and pretty funny videos
WOW!! How come they all look like they have just been caught stealing grannies chocolate? Guilty confession - I have got the BEP version as I heard it at a loud party and the bass is sublime
I don't subscribe to the notion the Orlando is doing the track to take the piss. Or That the lyrics are necessarily "wank". I mean, they're wank. I think the bands in the LL do their chosen covers because they like them. I think he giggles because the lyrics are quite far removed from what the band would put out. I love this cover. It's cheeky. But it's really well constructed. Well thought out. I think it's loved.
@TheWolfman510 Come on, be fair! The lyrics are pretty embarrassing. They're a band called the Maccabees. Rather good in my opinion. And you talk about disrespect? I refer you to your original comment. And don't lie. You love this song. You were YouTubing it. Boom Boom Pow... Nice title
Orlando sounding like he's about to cry makes this song 200% better.
I wish there was a high quality version of this on Spotify, this cover is too good!
Back here in 2024 with an official YT account. Listened to this cover many times back in the day. One the best live lounge covers!
never tired of it. BEST COVER EVER. well done The Maccabees !
love this lads.Wish they were still keep going
Wow just wow The Maccabees can make anything into something amazing I LOVE THEM!
Proof of their amazing talent, that they can take a song I really didn't like and make it into something I would put on my iPod. LOVE THESE GUYS!

ORLANDO WEEKS YOU ARE THE CUTEST CUTE TO EVER CUTE
The multi-coloured Xylophone @ 0:08 being the only mutual instrument to be played by the black eyed peas.
"Im a beast when you turn me on, into the future Cybertron.."
Try singing those lyrics with a straight face.
what a crazy-good cover. looks like they had fun lol
Wow
Definitely should of said "the Maccabee's drop the beat now" instead of "Will I Am drop the beat now" Cause there was only one song that dropped the beat so hard , global panick was that someone dropped a nokia phone .
@chutney674 now that I can actually hear the lyrics,i agree with you
This is still the best
GUYS I LOVE YOU U DONT UNDERSTAND OH MY GOD
Hahahaha, the way he says will i am drop the beat now :p
I generally upheld the opinion that covers could never be better than the original version; I now retract that opinion.
@planetyes just so you know (I think) the Maccabees is a Jewish? group. I've heard them sing songs to dynamite: Jewish version and some other song. Their really good and pretty funny videos
this is the first song i've heard performed by the maccabees and i think i'm addicted. watching the lead singer i admit has a lot to do with this. ;)
actually too cool for school
lol suprised he managed not to crack up
I woke up in the morning and had to turn to laugh D:
THE FUNNIEST COVER E V E R ! ! ! !
I know what you mean, but I don't think they would have covered this song unless they liked the original.
Orlando at 1:28 OH MY GOD!
Haha this is great
hahahah!!!!
FUCKING
BRILLIANT
@TheWolfman510 Oh dear. Have we ruined your favourite little song?
i feel like i shudnt love it...but i do !! lol
Guitarist = Mike Myers
WOW!! How come they all look like they have just been caught stealing grannies chocolate?
Guilty confession - I have got the BEP version as I heard it at a loud party and the bass is sublime
Even the band are laughing at the lyrics haha!
no me imaginaba como sonaria, este cover jajaja
i love this cover version...........totally taking the big pee xxxx
The talent this band have just proves how truly shit the song is. Love it!
yah yah

1.42= lawl
"youre so two fousand and late"
so hilarious :D
orlando dameo
funniest!!
Will.I.Am drop the beat now *laughs*
@Petrabi NO HEARING AID THEN?
they're blatantly taking the piss.
i thought it was impossible to make this song sound good...i was wrong
haha
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk massa sz
so funny, fuck bop!
@TheWolfman510 Come on, be fair! The lyrics are pretty embarrassing. They're a band called the Maccabees. Rather good in my opinion. And you talk about disrespect? I refer you to your original comment.
And don't lie. You love this song. You were YouTubing it. Boom Boom Pow... Nice title
this is better than the original because they're real musicians and they made song from shit
The Maccabees can make even the shittiest song amazing.
best version i've heard. they made a shit song decent
Felix with glasses. Just saying.
hilarious
His voice 😍😍
And the laughing because the song is so stupid 🤣🤣
@TheWolfman510 Obvious troll is obvious
what are they laughing about?
No where near as good as the Asher Roth version which beats the original in my opinion :-D
