Greetings and love from germany.I was in melbourne and lorne for 3 weeks in january 2020 and miss the vibes and the relaxation and friendliness of your great nation.and i love the energy of the chats.and I only discovered genesis here, fantastic
This is the positive vibes I need in my life, 110% know my dad, had he not passed away, would love this cover, it brings very fond memories, mega love❤️
Yeah they listened to scientists and actually dealt with it in December 2019/January 2020 (around their first outbreak) and did their procedures properly unlike places like the UK lol
Saw this on the weekend, it made me get up and start moving, not bad for a67 year old. Guitars into big amps, singer with class and attitude! I think the future is safe for now.
Should check out Genesis’ debut album Smiling With No Teeth. I don’t think there will ever be an album which will confuse you more. Dudes genre range is massive
Just found Genesis scrolling through Triple J's uploads. First checked his own "A Song Fishing" and found it really good but didn't listen to the end before I saw that they did a cover of this. Had to hear what they did with it, expecting a stripped down kind of bare version. Then Genesis started "fa-fa'ing" and the rest is history. This was absolutely incredible! The sheer brilliance of channeling the kind of latent punk spirit of this song like this with the live energy and sound was so on point. Thank you to the band for doing this cover, it set off my day in the best way possible! Gonna check out the rest of this band's stuff.
I totally agree with you, this is genius. But this is actually two different bands playing together. The Australian punk band The Chats, combined with the newer singer/rapper Genesis Owusu
This production looks, sounds & feels like commercial, popular, fake, plastic, controlled shit I hate, _but it was quite badass!_ I like the Owusu guy singing this modified, legendary song, I like his moves, love The Chats, the energy. It's love _and_ hate, but I'll be doing "BUH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BAH BUH" for a day or two! Thanks for the great video.
4 guys went out for a smoko and ended up making this badass cover
Leave em alone.
@@kmando420 there on smoko so leave them alone
@@Nedshnibley they’re on smoko so leave them alone?
I swear Genesis Owusu should be a punk rocker. The dude has such insane stage energy, so much so that it’s hard to imagine him doing anything else!
I think several tracks off _smiling with no teeth_ have strong punk elements, can totally see him utilising more of that raw energy in future projects
He is
He kind of is he’s like punk and funk and rap at the same time
Gave me a Bad Brains vibe with the energy created. Just needed a back flip.
This turned a new wave song 100% punk I fucking love it
A whole album of early hardcore covers with this lineup is essential and required.
i enjoy the fact he hits the notes he CAN hit and doesnt try to do anything out of his range, its obvious he and david byrne have different registers
And he made it work really well. Genesis is an incredible performer let alone an incredible artist.
Probably because I'm high at the moment,but the silence after "Say something once" is extremely great.I'll be back later to delete this.Maybe
Don't. I noticed it too!
sssssssssssssh now
Hello. Yes. Goodbye.
Nah Mate, nice catch.
I did not pick that up. Obviously not in a state of heightened awareness!
This was alot better than I thought it would be. I need to cheer up
So much great music like this out there, roll with the momentum you discovered on this track my man
ha...made me laugh 😆
You know you've done a pretty good job as a Dad when your daughter sends you links to clips like this!
That’s so awesome!
Good work!
Your daughter just recommended you two incredible acts and you should definitely listen to them
You've won mate
good job! maybe I should send this to my mom
This the hypest shit I've seen in a while
Well said
It is realy great! Punk Rock comes und again!
Genesis Owusu doing garage music keeps me going
This deserved to be played in a packed 80s pub, not this weird artificial space. The energy is insane
What? Its 2022
@@boomcrayon well a packed 2022 pub is probably alright. I stand by the artificial space bit
Yea, artificial as opposed to pubs, which, as we all know, grow naturally in the wild
@@stankatsion6286 they grow from the uncommon and iconic pub seeds.
Absolutely brilliant from an old punk rocker !!☘️
The crossover I never knew I needed
Australian boys in da house
Genesis Owusu has got me more excited than I have been over an artist in a long time. Love it!
Same here!!!
Hands down the best thing I’ve seen for, like, forever
Sir, this is my living room...
What a friggen legend ❤
where does the man get his outfits??? the swag is immeasurable, god damn
idk eamon has impecable style
Nice of them to set up and play at Youth Group.
🤣🤣🤣
I want to vote for this in Hottest 100.
Good thinking!
Honestly I was not expecting them to slay this hard

I'm from Melbourne and miss Germany! I love your country, it's beautiful and the people are awesome.
As a lifelong Talking Heads fan...
This blew me away. Looks like a blow-out an' all! 😂
Stuck for words,🥴☢️😝
Ditto. Talking Heads was my first love as a band. This was brilliant.
Yep me too. I love the live vid stop making sense when David Byrne comes out and does this un stripped and it builds up. It’s amazing 🤪🤪🤪
Best talking heads cover ever. One of my favorite songs covered by my favorite new punk band. I'm gonna listen to this 1000 times straight.
The Cardigans and Tom Jones' cover of Burning Down the House is better IMHO.
Genesis Owusu puts on one of the best live shows I've ever seen. I'd love to see him front a punk band, he would kill it.
This is the positive vibes I need in my life, 110% know my dad, had he not passed away, would love this cover, it brings very fond memories, mega love❤️
i liked the original but this blew the original so far out for my playlist.. great job guys, good pick. and what awesome energy from the singer
Please keep this man on stage forever
If there is one thing I absolutely love, it’s watching musicians have a fucking blast playing music.
this needs to be released as a single
Wish I could have been there. I miss live music so badly.
Same here friend
I miss the tards filming on phones 🤪
I went to a gig last weekend for the first time in like a year and a half and oh man was it awesome
Get out and support your local bands!
it was a great time. hope you can make it to a show soon mate
one of my top 3 artists doing an outstanding cover of one of my favorite songs. this is gold
That is how an extrovert performs that song
As opposed to Dave Byrne?!
@@ledbelly8820 yes. David Byrne is super introverted, and has ASD.
Damn, Australia really got their shit together
Yeah they listened to scientists and actually dealt with it in December 2019/January 2020 (around their first outbreak) and did their procedures properly unlike places like the UK lol
@@Umicron_ us too. I’m in the US and my county just went back into a higher lockdown
@@vraisairs9201 best of luck
@@Umicron_ you too
Aaaaaaand now we re back to restrictions in NSW
Nice to see Mustangs coming back in style lately. Always been my favorite guitar.
Great band and great guest singer covering a great track from another great band, altogether great. 👍👊✌️🇬🇧.

I needed that! My man reminded me of H.R back in the 80’s!
The Smoko guys should have a band with him.
The best cover of this amazing song! Fast and full of energy! Love it!!
The Chats are one of my favorite bands in recent memory but I’d love to see them bring him in as lead singer. Imagine his energy during “Pub Feed”
i prefer the original more, he's got more rawness to him tbh
JOINT TOUR JOINT TOUR imagine eamon performing don't need you👀
fuck no, that would suck
co-guest on an album, maybe. current lead singer is pure energy and drives the band
@@ElectricalSwift agreed fuck this noise dude is a nut let the Chats chat
This song (the original) came out when I was first year in uni. Great to think kids in uni are experiencing this now!
as a kid who finished their first year in uni, I am experiencing this now
This is what should come up when googling 'Stage Presence'.
The Chats never let you down. Excellent.
Massive 'Recovery' vibes 🙌

Thanks for replying Ian. I found this out and completely fell in love with The Chats afterwards. They are seriously fun and have a great energy.
@@askemeum heh glad you did, was also the same way i discovered them, they are brillant.
And I cant Even describe the genius mind of Genesis Owusu
LOVE the energy
So much energy love it!
What a ripper combo of artists
I. Love. This. Cover. So. Much.
I didn’t know I needed this in my life
The 🔥ENERGY🔥 just took me out of C.19 lockdown bluessssss 💛
Raw confidence and focus on stage. Brilliant.
I still miss pricey
A collab I didn’t know I needed… this was awesome 🤩
I Love This... ♥️
This is just a great genre translation into punk. Cover slaps super hard.
Not bad...now Imagine if the Bad Brains covered Psycho Killer! Now how cool would that be!
I loved this. Awesome!
El momento mas esperado por toda Australia unida
Great. Love the energy
