The Ooks of Hazzard Cover MGMT’s “Kids”

My favorite discovery of the past week would have to be a brand new folk group called The Ooks of Hazzard.  They are brand new and as far as I know only have one song, but I absolutely love them and can’t wait to hear more.  Their first song is a video of the group performing the uber catchy MGMT hit, “Kids.”   When I first saw them all lined up with just a bunch of ukuleles, an accordian, and a cajón  drum, I had no idea how they were goin to pull off the best electronic-dance hit of 2008.  But they more than just pulled it off.  This video is fantastic.  The vocals are a little rough at times, but overall it has a fun rough country sound, and I appreciate that they all take their turn singing.  I think it adds to the feel of the performance.  I just hope this isn’t the last we hear of these guys.
