[jaymusseato]

>dear Al,

did you like the BUZZCOCKS?

[UTubist512]

I saw them in '82, I believe, in a venue just like this. They rocked the house! It's funny to see how we all looked back then in our college days. Oh my!

[Heyemeyohsts]

The Keyboardist has had a few

@DrewBludd yeah, I found out about it the same way. pretty catchy

[wantsomecoffee]

[BloodyHoneyBunny]

... =S I wouldn't want to play this song at my house, bikers will trash my house

[TheBassfresh]

"tone clusters!!! :-) "

terry adams as I looked at him from the bass chair w/ a WTF expression.

[darthsciencit]

I remember heard this song in a episode from the simpsons where homer wins a harley davidson motorcyle and he create a gang called the hell's satans next the real gang takes over his home

[bronyr]

Oh the memories of NRBQ. School Days....

[designermite]

just me and the boyz......

[DrewBludd]

I learned of this song from the Bobcat Goldthwait movie "Shakes The Clown." I request it on my local rock radio show and they play it. FRITZ ROCKS.

[ammyowner]

The keyboard player has obviously got some classical training.

[posthumanhero]

lol.......as he smashes his piano with his palms and knuckles.

[JetblastAZ]

I remember watching this on the USA Network in 1983. My brothers and I were rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically. Good job and thanks for posting this.

[steveandtony123]

omg! i know these guys...

[AIKevorkian]

My God. I cannot believe I found this. I last heard this in Junior High! Total right on ancient memories!

[Cervezasi]

LOVE ME SOME "Q"!!!

[fendergibs]

In the movie Sping Break 1983

[npspec34]

So great like 76 all over again

[oldphoque]

This is a great song. I enjoy most covers too. Dave Edmunds did a real nice job with it. Probably my favorite version. If you like NRBQ, will will probably like The Wildbirds. Check them out.

[Cooleemee43]

Tommy is a great drummer, sounds like simple two and four bass snare stuff but listen closer and you hear, grace notes, ghost notes etc. this guy could swing.

[brendanrivers]

I saw this band play last week on the moon

[DoubleWonderful]

CAUSE THEYRE OUTTA THIS WORLD, BITCH!

[DoubleWonderful]

so fucking sickkkkkkkk

[brygenon]

An outstanding song from an outstanding underground band. This is what rock and roll is about.

"Future's no problem; well we don't care,

cause wherever we're goin', we'll soon get there."

/Me And The Boys/ was music of my teen years, so of course I'm biased, and like anyone, I have the right to be. Ain't puttin' anyone down when I celebrate this song. 'Twas a rebellious masterpiece, and if the next generation tops it, all the better.

Stand up. Rock out. Swing to this song.
