the maccabees - boom boom pow black eyed peas cover 

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!

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!

love this lads.Wish they were still keep going

never tired of it. BEST COVER EVER. well done The Maccabees !

Wow just wow The Maccabees can make anything into something amazing I LOVE THEM!

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.

Orlando Weeks saying swagger. Perfect.

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!

This band was so underrated ❤❤

haha i love how orlando is just cracking up

His voice is so awesome

amazing. Such an incredible voice.

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

I love how the song sounds so awesome when they sing it,

love this so much omg! orlando when he smiles...made me smile tbh. they're all so perf

he's such a cutie when he smiles.

Child's xylophone. Right there. Excellent.

1:27 my heart has melted

So cute when he smiles...

WOW KUDOS TO ME I FINALLY SEE ORLANDO GIGGLING

They can make any peice of shite legendary. Fucking love this, love them! They're soooo holding giggles in :-)

Ha. Amazing cover. I met felix in a pub once and he was a thoroughly nice chap, even gave me a man hug. Great band.

ORLANDOS LAUGH HALFWAY THROUGH OK IM DONE ILY

Felix: "i'm so free fousand and eight you're so two fousand n' late" ❤

Orlando trying not to laugh makes this video, oh that smile ;) x

ORLANDO WEEKS YOU ARE THE CUTEST CUTE TO EVER CUTE

Awesome!

YES! I'm just constantly repeating 1:10-1:42 haha love that smile!!

Pahaha! This is hilarious! Love these guys. Looks like they had lots of fun with this.

Oh Orlando, please be mine! (: But seriously this is amazing!

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...

OMG this is amazing but hello we are talking about maccabees just speachless

I couldn't love the maccabees any more right now.

OMG when Orlando says swagger. Day. Made.

This is banging!!

love it how they are all pissing themselves at some point and Hugo never stops being serious.

Oh how i love you orlando! That smile! That laugh! hfuduh!fjsafjs !

I generally upheld the opinion that covers could never be better than the original version; I now retract that opinion.

The multi-coloured Xylophone @ 0:08 being the only mutual instrument to be played by the black eyed peas.

i likey!

How have I only just heard this!?

1:27 always makes me smile :D

"Im a beast when you turn me on, into the future Cybertron.." Try singing those lyrics with a straight face.

Two faaaaaasand n late! Oh god I love this so much!

@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 .

Haha I love this, it always makes me smile :)

@chutney674 now that I can actually hear the lyrics,i agree with you

I love the Maccabees :)

Este cover es genial!! :D No dijría que uno es mejor que otro pero, ciertamente es una versión más indie y bonitaa :B me encantóóó!

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. ;)

this video makes me happy :')

Thats a nice cover

This is still the best

GUYS I LOVE YOU U DONT UNDERSTAND OH MY GOD

what a crazy-good cover. looks like they had fun lol

I know what you mean, but I don't think they would have covered this song unless they liked the original.

I woke up in the morning and had to turn to laugh D:

THE FUNNIEST COVER E V E R ! ! ! !

Aha this is awsome! :D

This is fucking brilliant

actually too cool for school

Wow

Orlando at 1:28 OH MY GOD!

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.

Haha this is great

Hahahaha, the way he says will i am drop the beat now :p

i feel like i shudnt love it...but i do !! lol

i love this cover version...........totally taking the big pee xxxx

@TheWolfman510 Oh dear. Have we ruined your favourite little song?

hahahah!!!! FUCKING BRILLIANT

The talent this band have just proves how truly shit the song is. Love it!

lol suprised he managed not to crack up

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

Guitarist = Mike Myers

yah yah

they're blatantly taking the piss.

@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

1.42= lawl

funniest!!

so hilarious :D

Even the band are laughing at the lyrics haha!

this is better than the original because they're real musicians and they made song from shit

@Petrabi NO HEARING AID THEN?

no me imaginaba como sonaria, este cover jajaja

best version i've heard. they made a shit song decent

orlando dameo

haha

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk massa sz

i thought it was impossible to make this song sound good...i was wrong

The Maccabees can make even the shittiest song amazing.

Felix with glasses. Just saying.

so funny, fuck bop!

"youre so two fousand and late"

Will.I.Am drop the beat now *laughs*

No where near as good as the Asher Roth version which beats the original in my opinion :-D

His voice 😍😍 And the laughing because the song is so stupid 🤣🤣

hilarious

@TheWolfman510 Obvious troll is obvious
