Overview

"Kids" is the third single from MGMT's album Oracular Spectacular. It was released as a single on October 13, 2008.

The band recently had a legal dispute with President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, over his illegal usage of the song.

Rolling Stone's Kevin O'Donnell described the song as "a noisy New Order-style synth jam".

The version that appears on Oracular Spectacular is updated from earlier versions that appear on the group's EPs Time to Pretend (2005) and We (Don't) Care (2004). A track entitled "Kids (Afterschool Dance Megamix)" appears on the album Climbing to New Lows (2005).

5 stars Really cool funky tune.
This track has a really catchy funky tune, but it also has a message behind the lyrics. I heard this on the radio one day in the car and had to buy it.

1 stars Complete Dross!
Music for people who have to be told what to like by the NME etc rather than actually discovering for themselves.

The tune sounds like it came pre-programmed off a £20 Casio keyboard, the lyrics are inane and the singing is woeful. Hopefully once the NME produces its 'Who to listen to in 2009' list this'll be the last we hear of MGMT and their 'music', one can only speculate on how bad what replaces them will be.
