An amazing cover. I know Byrne loves this version too. I am 54 and cannot get enough of these beautiful and talented ladies. You can tell how much fun they are having when performing live. Go Hester and Rhian!!
I just discovered this band like 30 minutes ago and I love their energy. Then I spotted this cover of a song that has been my favorite for last few years and I've reached out to a couple female artists asking them to do a cover without luck. I couldn't be more pleased with this here
People, this band showed up like 6 months ago. And everything they do is near perfect. I just hope that they stay the same and keep developing their ideas the way they are now. If they do, man, they're gonna go far and high. They already shown us a new sound, I can't wait to see what's in store.
What new sound? And why do so many female singers sing in this style? It's as annoying as melisma. Never loved the original song so much but this is boring. Maybe the music is better on their other songs but this grating, sleepy style of singing is unbearable.
When i first heard Wet Leg, i thought of the Flying Lizards. And again this song is from the same era. I guess this is why they appeal to young and oldies like me (55)
I forget that I had the playback speed set at 0.75 and listened to over half of the song thinking "how high were they when they recorded this...?" now listening back at normal speed thinking " I really love this band"
Fantastic..... a girl in high school gave me her copy of Talking Heads 77 album because she didn't care for it.... she thought I would like it and she was right! Love the nod to the original TH album graphics.
Just heard them this week and this was my exact first take - they're like an upbeat Sonic Youth. Someone else mentioned Suburban Lawns, which might also fit. Whatever it is, they are punk as fuck and I love it.
Yes, this is a very sweet tribute ❤️ to the Talking Heads. I have been waiting for a new sound like this. So, where did these girls come from anyways? Did they just appear fully formed one day?
I’m 70 and and haven’t felt this excited about a band in years
63 & I hear ya!!! Luv this band.
Nor have I so up lifting woman power 💥
😂
i'm thousand years old and i haven't felt this excited since Bach dropped his last album
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRIS FRANTZ !!! b. May 08, 1951.
This is both faithful and distinctly Wet Leg.
I couldn’t think of a better group to cover this song. Now to see Wet Leg AND David Byrne do this song together
id say no thanks to david byrne! don't ruin a band i like by putting that guy in the mix
Check out Cage the Elephant version, it has a more energy to it, more of a old school rock angle to the song..
Yes, her droll delivery is perfect for this great song.
That would be a great honor for David
I'd rather see them with Tina and Chris. Tina deserves the most credit for this song.
The Offspring of Lena Lovich! I like what I'm hearing!
I thought exactly that when I saw them live
Almost feels like we're getting some Blondie vibes with this, especially on the spoken word sections
Now I want to hear them cover Atomic!
When I first heard Wet Leg I immediately thought of early Blondie!
@@tomyeo4687 Well their drummer better start practicing hard if they're to cover Blondie 🤣🤣
Mark my words… This is going to end up on a soundtrack in the next year or two. Absolutely Cinema ready.
Just when I thought I couldn't love them any more they only go and cover my favourite band!
DID IT WELL AND MADE IT THERE OWN TOO.
Right?! Amazing
An amazing cover. I know Byrne loves this version too. I am 54 and cannot get enough of these beautiful and talented ladies. You can tell how much fun they are having when performing live. Go Hester and Rhian!!
Same age. They take me back to the joy and fun of the 90s.
Chris & Tina dig this version, too
Talented blokes too!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Wet leg an talking heads are sharing the same weired sense of humor, I loved talking heads in the 80's and now I can't get enough of wet leg🤪
I love these kids. They never intended on being such a big hit. They are more talented than they think.
The appeal of Wet Leg is so strong I think in part by the fact they don't take themselves too seriously. This is a strong example.
Thats is what it makes serious
Wet Leg should be available on the NHS to lift the spirits of the nation.
Chris Frántz sent me here!
The Talking Heads sent me here.
I was pointed to them because of interview with Dave Grohl, who said something like "and a band named Wet Leg is about to rule the world!"
The name of this band is Wet Leg.
Thankfully I can read.
@@strangewayfaringstranger you didn't get that comment, but that's OK.
"I can read". LOL such a noob. And i can see you're not a Talking Heads fan.
Wet Leg: 22
I see what you did there
I just discovered this band like 30 minutes ago and I love their energy. Then I spotted this cover of a song that has been my favorite for last few years and I've reached out to a couple female artists asking them to do a cover without luck. I couldn't be more pleased with this here
Love her dead pan delivery 👍🤘
that's the key to all of it, I think
Rhian! Omg, killing it. I just hope Mr. Byrne has heard this. It’s perfection.
Agreed, her voice is perfect for this tune!
And lets not forget the band is really tight on this one!
I believe David has listened to this
@@jeremymanson1781 really?
When were you between David Byrne & Wet Leg...
& what magazine interview did you read while you were there?
;-D
I am 137 years old and have never been so excited for a band. But I think my hearing aid is broken, because part of this doesn’t sound like English.
This is so perfect it's disturbing.
This cover is totally on point.
People, this band showed up like 6 months ago. And everything they do is near perfect. I just hope that they stay the same and keep developing their ideas the way they are now. If they do, man, they're gonna go far and high. They already shown us a new sound, I can't wait to see what's in store.
Actually have been around for almost 3 years.
Not a new sound, but they have great execution for sure.
they been around longer than that. Probably wont last. but thats ok.
What new sound? And why do so many female singers sing in this style? It's as annoying as melisma. Never loved the original song so much but this is boring. Maybe the music is better on their other songs but this grating, sleepy style of singing is unbearable.
I hear nothing special at all.
Like a high school band that's well produced and hyped by the right people.
Next , they should do a cover of the Flying Lizards cover of "Money (That's What I Want)"...
When i first heard Wet Leg, i thought of the Flying Lizards. And again this song is from the same era. I guess this is why they appeal to young and oldies like me (55)
Yesss, that would be perfect. I had the same thought last night
I’m also thinking Lucky Number. (Lene Lovitch) Bit of a bonkers theme going on here! 😂
@@andygilbert1877 My Dad said they remind him of Lene Lovich.
This is actually really fucking good
They can cover anything and make it exciting again. I wonder how many artists are clamoring for their previous hits to get WET LEGGED.
I love that song even more now !! Awesomeness
Excellent. I love this. Great use of that crunchy fuzz sound. (But not too much,)
What a great version from the most exciting band in years
Best cover ever, this is the most exciting band to come along in years, fantastic.
I crawled out of the primordial ooze at the assent of life on earth and it’s the most I’ve been excited about a band
I don't normally think cover versions are as good as the original. I'll make an exception for this one though!
Funnily enough, I am tense and can't relax. That's why I have been a punk for three decades.
You guys know that , right?
You guys are just amazing! Full stop.
I forget that I had the playback speed set at 0.75 and listened to over half of the song thinking "how high were they when they recorded this...?" now listening back at normal speed thinking " I really love this band"
OMG this band just get better and better, what an awesome cover
Hope Wet Leg stays with us for years ...
asking for a joy division cover is probably too much right?
You won't get a Banshees cover tho
The guitar talent isn't there 🤘
Holy CRAP! Just simply fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't stop singing thisss
Awesome 👌
I love this band. Great cover!🔥
Great cover!
I finally get why Gomez Addams used to lose his mind when his wife spoke french!😍
This is a brilliant cover!
Mind blown
I hope they put a version of this up for sale - love it!
I found this while browsing youtube drunk holy crap this is amaziong i cant believe this exits
OMG, this is brilliant- more covers please!
Marvelous
Son la ostia chicas, las amo!!! ❣
IMPECCABLE BRAVO
All that I can say, David,approves of this
👑🤘😎🤘👑
Wet Leg rocks
Oh this is great- vocal delivery so much fun!
Great cover😀
Made my day!!!!😊
This is a great cover
Fantastic..... a girl in high school gave me her copy of Talking Heads 77 album because she didn't care for it.... she thought I would like it and she was right! Love the nod to the original TH album graphics.
easily their best record
This band was genetically engineered to be my new favorite group. Here is a deal Wet Leg on tour with Little Big, I would pay to see that.
Can't speak for David, but I bet he's proud of this.
What a great way to flesh out an album while you're still working at producing your own originals. I love some covers better than their originals.
Bravo les filles ! Magnifique reprise !
Unbelievable Jeff
I love this song.
That was so cool! Neo-wave is slammin'!
Superbe reprise :-)
perfect
Its like Talking Heads with Karen O to front the band.
Great cover, great band - thanks for sharing!
Reminds me of Sonic youth, Wet Leg going to be a great influence for future bands
Just heard them this week and this was my exact first take - they're like an upbeat Sonic Youth. Someone else mentioned Suburban Lawns, which might also fit. Whatever it is, they are punk as fuck and I love it.
@@one0nine They're not punk have a word with yourself 🤣🤣🤣
I say it as I hear it and Sonic Youth came through to me straight away. Throwing Muses also. Who cares if it’s punk or whatever? It’s so exciting!
They’re effortless coolness is so fookin refreshing best thing since BJM
Well this makes perfect sense
Brilliant :D
Best cover yet … I’ve always loved this song
Girls you're perfect!!!!
Love love love wet leg! Ime 77 - always tag on to new music!
Cool so cool cover 👌
man. sweet.
My muffin cup doth runneth over with melted butter.
Great cover! Great job!
forever mad that I missed them in mpls at first ave. These kids have IT
It's not often a cover is as awesome or maybe more so than original fucking hell yeah man
This is mint, a great cover of a truly great song
They have excellent taste. And I nearly clicked like before I clicked the link.
I'm pretty much over the novelty, but I keep watching just to look at Hester
Yes!!! Need more.
Perfect song for you to cover.
Every generation gets the Flying Lizards it deserves.
Such a perfect comment 👌
Almost “Mark Twain” like
GREat gtreat and here I'm singing along smokern away
5 stars
I love the way she say: Qu'est-ce que sais ?
This song actually is so wet leg
Excellent and what better band to redo this classic.
Great job girls..........and guys.
Yes, this is a very sweet tribute ❤️ to the Talking Heads. I have been waiting for a new sound like this. So, where did these girls come from anyways? Did they just appear fully formed one day?
they formed in 2019, been friends since college, just felt like having some fun and then their songs starting gaining big popularity
@@jesscervi5366 ok, thank you for the answer
Here is some background: czcams.com/video/H2W4hsyolfU/video.html
@@jeremymanson1781 ok, thanks
It's not a new sound who are you kidding 😂😂
Strange find for me, as I always describe Wet Leg to those who have not heard them as having a real Talking Heads vibe.
You start a conversation, you can't even finish it.
Must save for a moment..expect i have found my fave song ever.
fingers crossed they release this on spotify, this is just amazing
Been consuming Wet Leg for months now ;) ;) on the yeow teowb, but it took until Talking Heads official posts this for me to know it exists ?!?!
PS> It's awesome!
My favourite track from one of my older favourite bands covered very well by my newest favourite band.
Knocked it out of the ball park!! Love this lot x
This is so rad. They snuck this one out on me.
I kaant relax
