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 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!

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

[jaxondesantis]

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

[tylerhofmann]

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

[grahamcharman]

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

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!!

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.

[LordRycon]

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.

[ZaneTaylorMusic]

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!

[pmor]

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

[imnickholden]

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

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!

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

[hvirdberg]

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

[Jeremy-diye]

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

[justinwiley]

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.

[Brodzzzzz]

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.

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

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