"How does it feel like?". Does this phrase drive anyone else crazy? "How does it feel?"is a commonly used phrase as is "What does it feel like?". But "how does it feel like?" grates on my nerves.
All my youth is flashing at 100 miles per hour in this song !

There's always that one Beatles song that is in the dna of contemporary listenable music.

Sorry, Grammar Police here.
The phrase "How does it feel like" is wrong.
It should be "What does it feel like?", or "How does it feel?"
Also, it's a question, so there should be a question mark.

Of course you are critiquing Noel Gallagher, who wrote lyrics such as: "The sink is full of fishes / She’s got dirty dishes on the brain / And my dog’s been itchin’ / Itchin’ in the kitchen once again" and “I know a girl called Elsa / she's into Alka-Seltzer / She sniffs it through a cane on a supersonic train / And she makes me laugh / I got her autograph / She done it with a doctor on a helicopter / She's sniffin' in a tissue, sellin' the Big Issue”.
Personally I just focus on the beat. D'you know what I mean?

Warped and pingin off me dial to this song at a festival in Wiltshire in 1999. Good times

Why? People ask all the time: How do you feel? not What do you feel? When saying "what" the focus is on touching something, does it feel smooth or rough, etc. When saying "How" the focus is on how you feel on the inside - happy, sad, etc. So the question is How do you feel when you wake up in the sun? Not, What does the sun feel like when you wake up in it?
You proved my point with the first part of your comment. People ask "how do you feel?" not "How do you feel like." The lyrics ask "How does it feel like," which is incorrect. Your example of "What does the sun feel like..." doesn't match the context. "What does IT feel like...when you wake up in the sun," or however the second verse goes.
But like someone else mentioned, I'm just filing the whole bloody thing under poetic license and I'm done with it.

Dang, Bill & Rebecca - you're on a roll this morning! Playing every song I need to hear today. 
This song just isn't quite the same without the outstanding music video. Still solid. Noel Gallagher's voice really suited the Chemical Brothers.
I was hired to do a story for Professional Sound on these guys. I was to meet at the sound board during the show to get some of the technical story with photos and then an interview later.
I was on the media list (only one for the actual that show) and when I went to the mix position, the security guy pretty much dragged me out of the venue.
Never a dull moment in the music biz and the feature article I was hired to do was likely the 'thinnest' 2800 words I ever wrote for the magazine.

Nice segue from "She Said She Said"
Brilliant follow-up to She Said She Said by the Fab 4. Conjures up Tomorrow Never Knows to these ears.
Saw John Cooper Clerk on danish telly this morning (my breakfast time CET) BBC Bargain Hunt repete I guess.
So funny

For some reason, when asked "how does it feel like?", I felt like this was sung by Oasis... is it just me?
I'll never get past "how does it feel like".
great bass line
Perfect coming right after The Beatles' "She Said She Said".

I never paid any attention to this song- I guess I just thought it was a forgotten Traffic song that I never heard before. Not a bad tune though- nice bit of throwback. If a 21 year old song can be a throwback...

Great transition from The Beatles' "She Said She Said" to this.
Such great memories of the late 90s. I was just starting out professionally and striking out on my own. This was part of my "soundtrack of life".

If I were blindfolded, I would think this was Ozzy Osbourne channeling The Beatles' "Tomorrow Never Knows."

I just love that the Brothers can go on stage at major festivals, hit the play button and stand there twiddling knobs to show that they might actually be doing something while the set runs perfectly timed to the amazing visual show.
I'm not complaining, its wonderful stuff, but if I were one of them, I'd have a walk on do the twiddling and then I'd stand out front with the audience to see what my show looked like for the giggles.

Kinda monotonous. 6/10 as it's not bad.
Awesome tune! I love the range of music RP plays. #BillGRocks
Nice
First album is their best, but this is also very good.
First album is their best, but this is also very good.Channelling (literally) the Beatles drum track and some other fine audio mixology
while may not sounding exactly timeless - neverthless this is a true masterpiece - as a lot of the other stuff jeff lynne did. if there wouldnt be the beatles people would really more appreciate the composing and arranging skills this man owns. and his singing is quite great too.

I liked this a lot when it first came out and I even bought it as a CD single, which was a rare event because I found the things generally way overpriced. After a while though, the over-compressed production whose only goal is to make this as loud as technically possible, started getting on my nerves.

This was part of the theme-tune to my undergraduate years of loving life and partying hard with a world of possibilities ahead of me, despite the lyrics. Strange to listen to it now whilst I read about the rise of populism out of the neoliberal dream and a general slide towards fascist values in the west. Glad I partied when I had the chance.

Geesh. There are LOTS of songs I love that contain horrible grammar ("Touch Me" by The Doors and "Grace for Saints and Ramblers" by Iron & Wine quickly come to mind). But if that's your only criterion to judge a song, I feel sorry for you.
That said: I saw the Chemical Brothers at Woodstock '99... what a FANTASTIC live show!

I'm pretty sure it's only so low because of the lyrics, especially the chorus. I know I just can't for the life of me get over the "How does it feel like" crap! Every time I hear the song it sounds worse and worse. Kind of irrational, I know, but I really can't help it!
Only 6.9? Come, now.

I love the Michael Gondry video that goes with this song!

But is it, like, important?
The more I hear it, the more i think there should be commas in the written lyric:
How does it feel, like, ....etc.
This would make more sense in a Northern way, which is where these boys are from, of course

Jumping from Bregovic to Chemical Brothers! BRAVO!
Oh wow, haven't heard this in forever. Sounds great.

Didn't expect to hear this on Radio Paradise. Pleasant surprises are pleasant.

Ahem. If you're going to pick on grammar,
"Seriously, how would this song *be* in anyway changed...."
Or, alternatively,
"...how would this song *have been* in anyway changed...."
I feel fine Grammar Policing comments on the boards, but I just don't feel we can expect good grammar to coincide with things like cadence and rhyming schemes. This is music, not literature.
Unless we're listening to Elbow... Guy Garvey can sure pull it off!
"How does it feel like" using English in an intelligible way? Seriously, how would this song been in anyway changed or diminished by using "what" instead of "how" and not having it sound like someone who had never experienced English first hand had written it. It grates on me like finger nails on a chalk board, the chalk board these dorks obviously never paid any attention to.

That HAS to be a sampled drum track from "Tomorrow Never Knows"....which, of course, IS Ringo!
Nah, that's a different drum beat; maybe it's sampled, but not from that tune. It's blatantly obvious they were mimicking The Beatles on this tune - they weren't trying to hide it.

Geesh. There are LOTS of songs I love that contain horrible grammar ("Touch Me" by The Doors and "Grace for Saints and Ramblers" by Iron & Wine quickly come to mind). But if that's your only criterion to judge a song, I feel sorry for you.
That said: I saw the Chemical Brothers at Woodstock '99... what a FANTASTIC live show!

If it's not grammatically correct enough for you, perhaps some opera?

Actually it would change it quite it a bit. As the first and most emphasized word in the much repeated phrase which is also extended in length, "How" is open phonetically making it a better word for such use. "Wha"t is closed at the end forcing the extented length to be on the short "a" vowel sound, which is less pleasent to hear at length then the "w" of "how". Grammatically a mess, but better sounding. So tell me, Which really matters in a song such as this?

i liked this when the Beatles did it (and called it "Tomorrow Never Knows") but it's too much strain on my soul to like Oasis, even when hiding behind the Chemical Brothers.
Big fan of psychedelia here to tell ya this one is a near miss.
How does it feel like?? nah.
