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...
@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
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 .
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.
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
@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
