Thank you triple j! 💛💛💛

My 3 yr old niece passed away the Tuesday after this song. We drove to the hospital to this song playing on triple J not knowing if she would make it. She loved yellow, Emma the yellow wiggle and her mum. I listen to this daily, she was Wakka Wakka. Her spirit - you know we love her so 💕

This shook me to the core and made me cry, geez that was sensational. Makes me very proud to be Indigenous 🔴🟡⚫️

This band has the potential to be really significant in Australian culture. All the best fellas.

I never knew how good a Banjo and a Didgeridoo sounded together

This is bang on what a cover should be. Not just an identical cover, but creating something entirely artistically new while retaining the basics of the original. Not to sound like a douche but this is art!

Triple J out here dropping life changing moments like it's no big deal. Pretty sure King Stingray laid down one of the best LAVs of all time.

This guys voice. The way he holds the note at the end of the line . What Aus music has been missing. Unmistakably Australian

if there was ever a marriage between Good tingling feels + proud Australian culture + raw talent = this would be it. Incredibly emotional and inspiring.

In an era where everyone is trying to sound like someone else, this is soo authentic and genuine. Amazing cover. The lead singer has potential to be an all time great frontman if he stays true to himself.

damn when he started singing i was actually blown away.. so pleasantly surprised by this

Wow, well this was a ridiculously good cover to stumble across. King Stingray have got themselves a new fan right here.

The best cover of Yellow I’ve heard. I’m so proud of my new fav Aussie Band. I’m 62. They get into my soul singing and chanting in language. Hearing Yidaki (Didg) is the only sound I heard overseas that made me think of home. These guys rock!!

Old mate just slayed banjo, bass and backing vocals no worries. The lead vocals have such a different timbre to Coldplay but executed so fucking well. And all the harmonies are there on guitars and vox.. so good!

First few minutes of this cover makes me cry every time. This was my introduction to King Stingray and now I’m super excited for the rest of their album to drop.

Just a shout out to the engineers doing the mix. These Like a Versions always sound great

Definitely going to be in my Hottest 100 votes this year! ❤️

This song stopped me in my tracks. In tears. So damn beautiful. Thank you.

Drummer absolutely sent it

Initial impression was it was like an American Idol audition and the singer had only heard the lyrics once or twice. But something hooked me, I can't get enough. Just pure good vibes

These guys need to go on Australia’s got talent, they will smoke everyone! Proud to be Australian listening to this 💪

I'm still getting goosebumps after watching it for the fifth time. Damn this is good.

These guys just opened for midnight oils second last show in Canberra and honestly, midnight oil are legendary there's no question, but I was shocked at how amazing these guys and their indigenous funky rock sound are. They rocked everyones socks off live! And yet I never knew they could be this soft and touching too! Will definitely be following them, would love to see them live again!

I don’t know how but this version made me really emotional. Send them to freaking Eurovision or something 😱

this is it boys, you've made your part in history, jesus well bloody done fellas, well done

Goosebumps, Goosebumps all over. Wow!!

First time I'm heard this I was in Busselton, Western Australia sitting amongst the Ghost Tree's while the Sun was Rising on a Friday Morning... This was actually such a beautiful experience, Just feeling the warmth of the early morning sun and just listening to this was absolute magic.

My 71 year old uncle absolutely loves this cover. Your music reaches far 💛

KingStingray's rebirth of "Yellow" so so beautiful ✌️🤘

Had this on in the car on the way home from work and it just took me right to a place of mourning for those I’ve lost ! Turned it up and just sang along crying . I’m sure at the lights ppl wondered wtf I was up too Exceptional cover in my opinion❤😢love it for different reasons they nailed it.

Driving home yesterday I heard this performed at Splendour in the Grass via triplej and instant goosebumps, hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears just streamed from my eyes. I had this incredible emotional music moment. I was like WHO is this!?!?! 💖

This is easily the best like a version of 2022, could be one of the best of all time

Beyond stunning, mesmerising..... I thought I was listening to George Rrurrambu and my soul soared. That vocal is one of the greatest ever, thank you

I'm crying 😭😭 this is SO good ! King Stingray is eternal !!! 💖💖💖

One of my favourite Like A Version's ever! His voice is stunning and it's an incredible interpretation of the song. I loved the beginning and the end. Just amazing!

Stunning phrasing. Such a powerful, affecting voice. Love King Stingray.

How good is this?! Love how he stayed low, made it emotional like the original but on a whole different level, very well done boy’s 🖤💛♥️

His voice carries. No mean feat, to stand there and deliver like that. Not an oasis song, but even Liam Gallagher, and his tambourine, would give a subtle nod in appreciation to this, I’m sure of it. This is a coming out party. Channeling a muse with deeper roots than anywhere else on earth. Walking a line of such meek authenticity, it breaks your fucking heart, let’s it scar over, and beat anew. There’s no coming back from this. Not a more awe inspiring, paradoxically expressive monotone has graced the Australian airwaves, any airwaves, in a long time. Thankyou.

Went roadtripping through Australia, heard their song Camp Dog on Triple J there and it became the song I associate mostly with my best trip of my life❤️ Love this version of Yellow, keep rocking guys!

Thank you to the artists for performing this live and explaining your story. This song and band are both parts my of icons of Australian history.

Could be the greatest Like A Version of ALL TIME!

Love this all Aussie cover of Yellow that includes the didgeridoo and clap sticks in the ensemble and a wonderful singer , it’s a massive thumbs up 👍🏼 from me.

At 39 I was finally able to see Coldplay live in Atlanta a couple of weeks ago. After 20 years of listening to this song, the jobs you guys did with this were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world!!!

These guys will be legends.

This was mental good . Such a beautiful flavour and boy Mr drummer man and lead vocals absolutely killed it

Wouldn’t be many times a didgeridoo has been played with a banjo. Unreal cover. It has an ancient vibe mixed with the now. Gives me hope.

As a Coldplay fan, this is a really nice twist to the original. Vocals are on point as well.

This is absolutly pure brilliance. 🖤💛❤

I love this cover so much, what I am about to say has nothing really to do with the song but I feel like It might help someone where I was once, I was once someone who looked down on Indigenous Australians I had this image in my head of a people who were lazy and unwilling to change or move forward, not willing to take the opportunities provided to them, oh how stupid and naive I was brainwashed by a narrative that still persists to this day, that this is all there is, or this is the best there is, and what we have now what we have accomplished is what matters, a good job a good education a nice house, big cars, and fancy things, I once had this idea that it was only land taken, Indigenous Australians died but that is just history. by chance, I ended up spending some time in the northern territory and met this lovely Indigenous Australian gentleman, he helped me in more ways than I can express, He opened my eyes to the true nature of our world to a real sense of spirituality that I had never experienced in my life, to disconnect and listen to the resonant sound the sound of the earth as it is a living breathing organism infinite in its wonder, how Indigenous Australians see the land truly changed me and has influenced my life and who I have become their connection, and spirituality to all living things, I realized that everything I had in my life and valued was dead things, and here I was looking down on this man when we first met, we talked a lot I learned what was lost cannot be easily fixed by money by houses cars modern-day civilization "opportunity", as horrible as the genocide was and the stolen generation and the endless cycles of poverty struggle destitution a loss of identity, to have your sense of purpose to have your connection to nature severed and then be told to get over it, for many years for many generations, its more than just land, it is their home, their everything theirs laws and spirituality are intertwined with the land this formed their culture the health and wellbeing of the earth and the land they stood on, the trauma is deeper than I could have ever imagined the struggles they face to pull yourself out of despair and apathy it is not an easy task, and throwing money at a problem and expecting it be to fixed is no way to solve a problem, I am sorry for how I onced perceived a fellow human who was a much better person than I could have ever dreamed of being. This individual once told me that he would like to be respected as a person as valued as a fellow human being, to be looked at by a stranger and think that is a man I can trust, and unfortunately not too many people in Australia would view an Indigenous Australian in that light, I hope I can help change things with you, my old friend.

Props to the ABC captioning team for captioning both languages. And an awesome cover.

I could honestly just listen to an endless loop of that intro ❤️

One of my favourite LaVs ever too. Truely what LaV is all about! I had goose bumps from start to finish and a huge smile on my face. I love the many meanings behind the choice too. Thanks King Stingray and Tripple J.

Old mate throws his pick away coz ya smashed it! Just great guys, love hearing our first people's language too. Fantastically Beautiful 😍

Went in expecting a disaster, replayed again immediately. What an interpretation.

Maynmak That’s the best like a version on record right there

WOW! I saw you guys last night on TV at the Opera House and I just had to look this up!! What a credit to all of you. This is what music is all about, taking a great classic song and making it your own. Thank you boys and thank you triple j for giving artists this platform.

The way the melody sounds now imperfect cadences are used, thats genius. He’s amazing

Goosebumps 💛 I don’t keep up with the JJJs these days but I stumbled across it as the OG was played at my besties funeral a few weeks ago. It’s already an incredible song but this LAV is just ace. Thank you x

Wasn’t sure what to expect. This gave me chills !!

What is this journey I've been taken on..... simply speechless.... wow

These blokes are awesome. We've had the Warrumpi Band, Yothu Yindi, Geoffrey Gurrumil now these blokes. We have some amazing indigenous talent in this country!

I got really choked up listening to this. Absolutely the best cover of Yellow. By far the best Like a Version

I heard this on the radio this morning while taking my son to work and have just watched the video. This has to be up there with the very best Like a Versions. The original song is good but this is next level.

Changes the whole feel of the song and I like it, it's uplifting and celebratory.

One of the best ever Like a Versions! Up there with Fall at Your Feet

tears not got them on triple J before much love KING stingray ! cried this morning best cover ever

Best Like a Version of all time, no contest 🙌🏻💛💛💛💛💛💛

This is just incredible. Goosebumps.

Goosebumps, tears...just WOW

Black and white side by side belting out a classic super proud

I keep coming back to listen again and again.

Like A Version has the most unique roster of artists and I absolutely love it. I've discovered so much new music!

I'm from the United States, and when this came on my shuffle I thought it was a country song until I noticed the didgeridoo. The way this band combines instruments, styles, cultures in this cover is so beautiful, and it's deeply moving. This is healing music

What a gem,fantastic vocals and the band is ace.Cold play would love this version.

This song came alive inside my blood and bones !! I am alive !! it's sensational King Stingray keep creating and giving us your amazing talent

This is amazing. What a brilliant medium to show the world old music.

Wow! That was so amazing! Now that's what I call a version, not a cover! Such a great rendition of this classic! I loved the little changes in the melody, they made it so unique.

Wow the best cover I ever heard for Yellow

It’s not everyday that a cover is better than the original It is now‼️‼️‼️❤️❤️✌️

When the Planets align magic happens. They definitely were on this day!!! Magic! Best version ever and makes me proud to be an Australian seeing two cultures combine to produce this classic.

Missing the love button RU-vid. Kings are the Kings. Beautiful. Just bliss.

Absolutely Righteous!

Absolutely fucking fantastic cover, it really stirs up some emotions. Perfect 🤘🏻

Absolute chills!! Holy moly!

This is the greatest Triple J cover ever

Beautiful as always

Absolutely captivating vocal performance

Just absolutely brilliant cover

This cover brought me to tears 😭 So beautiful 💕 King Stingray, I love your band 😊

Wow, this gave me chills... Amazing...

I find this to be a very powerful song, an integration of indigenous culture with English music is something that is bliss. Congratulations, an absolute pleasure to listen too

The subtle differences in the notes he uses against the original make it so special.

Honestly my brother!!! Did you just drop a yothu yundi & wurumpi tribute in the same song....? What a God!

Absolutely beautiful!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Just smashd it. Song that gets in ya now with launguage. I like it'

Goosebumps all over! Deadly!!

One word beautiful
