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). On December 1, 2009, the track was announced as a nominee at the 52nd Grammy Awards in the category Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals. ==Reception== To date, the single has peaked at #9 on the US ''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks chart, where "Time to Pretend" had previously peaked at #23. ''NME'' named it the number-one song on its list of the Best Singles of 2008.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 NME's Track Of The Year 2008 )〕 In October 2011, ''NME'' placed it at number 99 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=150 Best Tracks Of The Past 15 Years )〕 ''Rolling Stone'' named it #46 on its list of 100 Best Songs of the 2000s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 100 Best Songs of the 2000s )〕 Two months after exiting the UK Top 40, the song was featured in an advertisement for the BBC1 program ''Waterloo Road''. From this the song gained renewed interest, re-entering the UK Top 40, and on January 16, 2009, the song reached its highest position to date of #16. "Kids" came in at #5 on Australia's Triple J Hottest 100 countdown for 2008. In 2013, the song was voted at #64 on the same station's Hottest 100 from the past 20 years. The single received considerable airplay in the U.S., UK, Ireland and Australia before the release date, charting in the UK, Ireland and Australia. In Australia, "Kids" debuted before the release date at #89, and currently it has peaked at #30, playing on radio stations like Nova. A Soulwax remix of the song was played heavily on UK radio ahead its official release as well. The song got to the number one spot on the Norwegian chart, based on downloads alone. This made some controversy about how reliable the chart was, as the song had not been playlisted on any major radio stations and it disappeared from the chart the next week.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The Kids are Not Alright )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kids (MGMT song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
