The Smithereens - A Girl Like You

[pianosoccermaniak]

My favorite song. I keep it on repeat on my computer and as my ringtone on mt cell!!!!!

[yukonmike100]

great song and great album, probably their best, the idiot review dude on itunes doesnt think so though, what a goof ball

[StelyDn]

4 Minutes 21 Seconds, of Sheer Kick Ass Rock and Roll!

[landonwilliam1]

still love this song could listen to it a million times a day. good music never gets tired or boring

[frentrup]

Reminds me of Jim Croce ,

[devtimers]

kick ass!

[TheTrueTiger]

A great song. Good rock and roll.

[blueyes91968]

This song ROCKS!!!!



[32012239]

Straight up rock and roll with no bullshit. Yeah!

[ynotcleverman]

isn that bune e. carlos on drums?!?!?!????

[chancaca]

they're sorta like van halen.....in a way.

[blueyes91968]

@chancaca. I don't think so!

[SCOTTAK47]

I saw them in York,Pa. in November....Sooo underrated.these guys put on an awesome show!

[1Daddoz1]

How can any REAL musician or rock-n-roller NOT like these guys??? Long live the Smithereens!

[stork0112]

Saw them at Meadowlands Racetrack, NJ in the late 90s--They rock the house....

[stork0112]

These guys are from New Jersey.......(FYI)

[humanjukebox1958]

I love these guys!

[Rhezoloution]

This song was made for the movie SAY ANYTHING (notice the words "I'll say anything..). The song also mentions London - Washington which is where the film starts and ends. But I think they didnt use the song sadly.

[fab4fan4ever64]

The audio is EXCELLENT !!

[gothembadboy1]

Nice powerful guitar rifff!!! Simple , yet powerful... I love his voice... Pat you are a great singer!!!!

[MrCzechers]

After The Smithereens, 90s music went straight to Hell!

[oneway3]

VH1's "120 Minutes" (?) shows this video several times a week. And I am still not tired of it!

[FarleyTube]

@oneway3 Wait, huh? 120 Minutes is back and comes on VH-1 now? Dang that's surreal.

[oneway3]

@FarleyTube It's titled "120 Minutes", but there's no host and it's a collection of music videos from the early 80's to the mid 90's. Still good to see some videos from the salad days of MTV, though.

[bullitt1434]

Not only is the band awesome, but they also use quality equipment. Not like the bands today that use Chinese-made rubbish. Here's a tip, kids: Save your money and buy some REAL gear. You won't be sorry!

[snakehunter1964]

@bullitt1434 exactly!!! ;) Rickenbackers are the best!!

[smegmacheez]

AH! The Cat Club.

[Mallory371]

this song is EPIC!

[btbeme]

The Smithereens could bitch-slap any band that thinks it makes "Rock and Roll" in the last twenty years.

Except, maybe, KISS. Maybe.

[MsSmithereens]

A Girl Like Me loves The Smithereens to the day i dye love the song and the video!

[19angelman61]

These guys are great. Can play the "strings" right off those guitars. Thanks for posting the video.

[MsSmithereens]

@19angelman61 Right On Bro!!!

[theronsander]

I LOVE The Smithereens,and agree with the prior comments. Ower music had a message that could be understood, wether you liked it, or not. This Band has Five songs that I'm crazy about,and I've learned two of them. A Girl Like You ! is dedicated to my wife Chrissy.

[AlexGMOD1]

hay gay motherffuckeeer

[AlexGMOD1]

gay

[AlexGMOD1]

fuck you in the ass stupid fanboy i give you first dislikeee fuckkkk yooouu

[frankenstrat25]

@AlexGMOD1 well congratulations. u came on here wasted your time. so you can get attention. uhhmm i know your parents dont really love you but you dont gotta take it out on youtube

[darkchococide]

@AlexGMOD1  Why is there an ASSHOLE like you on every page?

[MikeAM78]

Great song. Had no idea it was originally written for the movie "Say Anything," but the producers decided not to use it for some reason.

[ds49]

kick ass!!

plain and simple

[fumetti]

Beach Boy Brian Wilson's ex wife Marilyn was supposedly the background vocalist for this song.

[ABCLakey2012]

I love the singer's voice. Now that I've heard this song, I can hear why they covered one of the Beatles' albums, "Meet the Beatles" and turned it into "Meet the Smithereens." Clever boys...

[zoomustard]

Long live great garage music!

[MsSmithereens]

@zoomustard YES AND DEED!

[UsMaLeMan1]

Hell to the YES! RockS!

[inthebullseye]

i feel bad for people who feel bad for people

[OralAgreement69]

i love this song. i dont care if the intro is almost exactly like intro to You Really Got Me

[Timebombish]

I don't think they needed to put up a show. The camera guy did it all for them.

[Charmer3oh3]

@Timebombish Hell yeah that's right.

[Timewarp80s]

Used to catch these guys at college parties, awesome live.

[pianosoccermaniak]

1. Poor

2. O.K.

3. Good

4. Great

5. Awesome

6. The Smitherrens

[sniper28211]

Where is Maria Vidal in all of this? These the girl voice you are hearing. 

[golfproguy18]

Worlds greatest bar band

[sexydarin1]

Ugly rockers are more hungry. They have to work harder.

[MsSmithereens]

@sexydarin1 U R RUDE!

[zvoidx]

Steve Jobs rocks!!

[rohitchhiber]

This song would've been HUGE ....

if the band were good-lookin' twenty-somethings who could put up a show in front of the camera

and if they had a hottie singin' the female vocals.

Ah music television.

[daanenniek]

@rohitchhiber youre probably right but don't you think the lead singer has a great voice of his own?

Wow, those were the days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MsSmithereens]

@rohitchhiber u can kiss my rosey american ass they made the song and the video the best!!!!!!!!!!!! you have a lot of nerve u cocksucker fagit asshole go back to san fransico where the fags all live.

[rohitchhiber]

@MsSmithereens O the fags live everywhere Ms, in your neighbourhood too :)

[MsSmithereens]

@rohitchhiber Oh, Hell No! you did not say that YOU ASSHOLE!

[sopmac07]

Great music never dies!!! It sounds so good to hear this after so many years. The Smithereen's kick ass!!!!

[MsSmithereens]

@sopmac07 NO SHIT!

[MsSmithereens]

@sopmac07 RIGHT ON!!!

[PleaseFixUrPets181]

Perfection



[stevenapoleon]

If this song caem out today it would be a hit.

I think they should try and get say Food fighters to do this song

[killswitchny]

@stevenapoleon Foo Fighter remake?? AWSOME IDEA! or even like Saving Abel or somethin like that

[jgjsaukrapids]

I lost my virginity to this song :)

[bigal2761]

The last of the great 80's songs. I feel sorry for the kids today having to grow up with the crap today they call music.

[mark6715b]

@bigal2761 That why they still have teenagers like me, that hate todays music. I prefer 40's-90's then todays music.

[MrWinterSniper]

@bigal2761 dude im 13 and i love the 80s music its the best music well the period that all music was good (most) 50s-80s some 90s songs were good nd some 2000s

[frankenstrat25]

@bigal2761 i know dude.... i hate it. but what will bug me the most is the people from the 60s 70s 80s will be talking about these bands and their awesome songs. most of the kids of my generation will be doing that with justin bieber lady gaga nikki minaj that shit. idk why people dont open their ears to what music is

[wbysniper]

@bigal2761 you couldn't be any more right. todays music is pointless.

[holymackeral96]

@bigal2761 Thanks, it blows pretty bad. Mainstream crap is all over my high school.

[Vedcmar]

@bigal2761 HAHA! well said!

[MsSmithereens]

@bigal2761 The crap today they called music too me its call fartin music! eeeeewwwwwwwww!

[dodsod6100568]

@bigal2761 ..could'nt agree more....

[Rsvmille676]

Love the decending base line behind the guitars.. Adds a tone of depth.

[epistte]

Ric+ overdriven Marshall=win.

the bass isnt bad either.

[AustinEScott]

The most underrated band EVER

[NICOTOUR3000]

@AustinEScott Nirvana was inspired by this band

[MsSmithereens]

@NICOTOUR3000 is that right?

[NICOTOUR3000]

@MsSmithereens yes, Kurt and Krist listen this band before they record Nevermind. Is not he only one band, but is true.

[DuranDuran31]

i have been rocking to this band since they started, they never get old... rock on reens

[MsSmithereens]

@DuranDuran31 YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

[63mrl]

REENS = RESPECT!

[Psychoboys]

This song is BEGGING to be covered by a Hard Rock/Heavy Metal band. But they'd be hard pressed to do as good as The Reens.

[GK4848]

These guys elevated garage band music to a true art form!

'REENS ROCK...HARD!!!

[DjJeffRush]

And Pat can STILL rock it out... look for The Smithereen's new CD...

[michivh]

Geiles Video und top Rock!!

[cosmicgull]

Long Live The Smithereens!!!!

[1776SonofLiberty]
