Since its original release in August 2006, 'Young Folks' has become a global phenomenon inspiring folk both young and old to shimmy across dancefloors meanwhile catapulting Peter Bjorn and John into the musical stratosphere, touring in ever bigger venues across America, Japan and everywhere in between.
Easily one of the singles of the decade, not many songs have swept across the world like 'Young Folks'. PBJ have kept it simple. In doing so they have created the most perfect pop song in years. It's an uplifting pop masterpiece, the perfect antidote to what has so far been a wet old summer in the UK.
Some examples of the Young Folks phenomenon on the internet:
Skate video - Bluegrass version - Mickey Mouse version
For so long the whistle has been in decline and now PBJ have brought back this lost art. Now the whole world whistles with Peter Bjorn and John. Even Kanye West. Raps hottest star has rapped over 'Young Folks' on his latest mixtape and even invited PBJ to be his backing band when he played Gothenburg's Way Out West Festival in August - check it out here.

'Young Folks' is a duet featuring the melancholy Nico-esque vocals of Swedish songstress, Victoria Bergsman of Taken By Trees and formerly The Concretes. It's a taste of summer.

After a sold out Scala show earlier this year Fence Collective founder KING CREOSOTE plays his biggest show to date at the Shepherd Bush Empire in support of his brilliant and critically acclaimed album "KC Rules OK".
KING CREOSOTE's live show sees him bring together a live band as he plays a set of extraordinarily touching, funny, sad, poignant, heartbreaking and downright beautiful songs.
One of the loveliest albums we've heard all year - NME KC slways casts himself as an outsider but on the basis of this wonderful record, it's time he came in from the cold - Metro Therapy for the ears - The Independent Gorgeous songwriting - Sunday Times
Much like fellow Twickenham residents Mystery Jets, Larrikin Love have succeeded in creating their own starry-eyed world, full of poetry, medieval notions of rowdy entertainment and unashamed peculiarity. Taking cues from bands such as The Clash and The Libertines LARRIKIN LOVE, deliver a live set of their melodic folk inflicted 'jaunty' indie anthems.
Larrikin Love are an indisputably classic English indie band, with all the wonderfulness and strangeness that goes with it. The Guardian
Sweden's PETER, BJORN AND JOHN play uplifting pop songs, complete with a whistled refrain that'll stick in your head for days (believe me!) Their sound is as playful and flitty as it's well-crafted and intelligent. As befits an erstwhile librarian, a jazz drummer and an established record producer, the sound skips across folk, punk and skinny-assed funk with a Beta Band-ish randomness belying a tangible pop nous underneath.
Their live set sees them deliver urging and funky drums, maracas, crazy bongos, lo-fi bass, and a whistling melody that sounds like a mix of a wild - west b-movie and the schoolyard. Peculiar, catchy, Scando-Pop!
It's an irresistible slice of indiepop that somehow combines whistling, bongos and the lugubrious voice of the Concretes' Victoria Bergsman to produce something fit for both sunshine and gloom... The Guardian
Singer and front man of mercury nominated Hot Chip ALEXIS TAYLOR (HOT CHIP) plays a rare solo live set of his own songs as he combines subtle pop melodies with folk esque quirkiness...
