  • Good Lord, Bob Geldof is the sexiest thing.

  • This should have been the theme song to garfield's T.V. show.

  • Is that a bolo tie? Tee-hee...<3

  • I wonder where this chick is now.

  • Monday is my favorite day of the week. Start of a new week of exciting things!!

  • Comment removed

  • if you shoot down monday then tuesday would be the new monday, and we would not like that so, we would shoot down tuesday....u see where this is going

  • now that I know the whole dark story behind this song it just creeps me out lol. I love the song though. Why would a person shoot at a playground just because they don't like mondays? Creeps me out I tell you.

  • @mommak10 That's kinda the whole point. There is no explanation for why anyone would ever do that, so "I don't like Mondays" is a good of reason as any.

  • 56 people dont like mondays

  • bob geldof can hide from mondays inside his wall!

  • Comment removed

  • Pink isn't well. He's back at the hotel.

  • an ok song and a not very good video

  • @Mexcellente Well remember the date it came out. I think at the time, this is a very good depiction of the song.

  • @Mexcellente I also think it was brilliant to add the children lipping "tell me why." Think about it. They're kids. All we can ask is why when something like this happens

  • thumbs up if you think the singer looks like Johnny Depp in his early years

  • 56 like Mondays.

  • 1:50-2:00 lmfao

  • BOOMTOWN CUNTZ

  • This song is the shit...period...

  • @rwatsonmusic It's pretty good actually, what context is it bad in?

  • The lead singer is right. Russel 'Tranny Dbag' Brand IS a cunt!

    more reason to like the song!

  • the wall

  • He looks so much like a young Jerry Seinfeld it ain't even funny.

  • @FrozenFourthSeason maybe if seinfeld was hopelessly addicted to crack

  • swag...

  • I dont like mondays, then i took an arrow in the knee.

  • She was clear of he self not liking mondays i still think the murdurs we extreamly inapropreat but if she thought thats what she had to do she did it!....... but the poor girl ruined her life she could have had sooo much more but she decided to throw it away too bad good song thumbs up if you agree!

  • @littleperson50 ...did you have a stroke when you were writing this?

  • like my garfield coffee cup says, Mondays suck!

  • thumbs up if you don't like mondays

    

  • how does this get even one like its history's repetition of it's friday you call this singing yall are crazy .....................but the piano part is pretty good if it matters

  • @19muzikluv Friday is inane and about a girl who likes fridays. I Don't Like Mondays is a reference to murder. When asked why, the woman said "I don't like mondays. This livens the day up." This song is pointing out the insanity of it: "and nobody's going to go to school today. She's going to make them all stay home. Daddy can see no reasons, 'cause there ARE NO reasons." They repeatedly ask why this kind of thing can happen, and the only reply is that the shooter doesn't like mondays.

  • lawls at 1:55

  • anyone say school shooting?

  • I LOVE this song...but damn if the young Bob Geldof doesn't look like Jerry Seinfeld...next up...Jerry Seinfeld in THE WALL

  • 54 people like mondays

  • @tuckgraph I know right? And they're both about teens who shot up some place. They're both fantastic songs.

  • @notatrollipromise Add Elton John's "Tickin'" to this list. Another great, but haunting, song.

  • Johnny Fingers rocks that keyboard !!

  • He looks like Ren from Footloose

  • DEMON KID!

  • Which one's pink?

  • "Pumped Up Kicks" reminded me of this song.

  • My dad, who played in a band idolized the boomtown rats. He had the checkered jacket from this video and everything. I'm looking for one myself!

  • noone body like monday

    

  • @UzeYourBrain Actually, it was the opposite. Michael Hutchins of INXS (RIP, man) was screwing aroung with Geldoff's wife.

  • I love this song and the video is great as well.

  • Best music video ever! I miss the '70s (and the '80s).

  • Didnt get much play here in the states. I didnt even hear about about until only a few years ago.

  • @Cavillier1970 I call B.S.!!! it played in the states in the day! I played on MTV a lot and on pop radio stations! i loved it then but couldnt tell my friends. we were all into kiss and acdc

  • @refractorhead I'm not saying it didnt play here in the US but I know alot radio stations were kind of funny about playing it, and alot pulled it. Which is understandable.

  • The keybord player- wasn't his name Johnny Fingers------amazing! love it!

    Hazy memory.

  • Still watching. Greatness doesn't stop ever!!!!

  • @jimmycrackcorn9 hay dume ass its about a girl that shot up her school and when they asked her why she did it she said she didint like Mondays

  • @MrGBigg I'm well aware of that "dume ass" but me and my friends refer to niggers as mondays because nobody likes mondays

  • @jimmycrackcorn9 then your just a racist that has no place in todays society.

  • @jimmycrackcorn9 God has special places for you and your friends!

  • @1961gj God forgives me for being a racist.

  • @jimmycrackcorn9 ur a pussy that hide behind a cpu i live in patchuge 2 i want u to call me a nigger to my face pussy

  • yessenia: make 1 at william dave ...shoot it all down my cunt...im an assistant i dont like mondays but i love ur cum ooooo...aint that peachy keen...what reasons do u need to bend over for mathboy .... my pink asshole is as good as gold

  • Visionary.

  • Thumbs up if House and Dave Matthews sent you here XD

  • i love this song:)

  • ITS PINK!!!!

  • i like his mouth...he doesn't open it like at all. :)

  • Pearl Jam - Jeremy, Ill Bill - Anatomy of a school Shooting (Columbine) Boomtown Rats - I dont like Mondays (Brenda Spencer). What a fucked up soceity we live in.

  • @Chapter1Tormented : It's just that crazy,unexplainable acts tend to be the subject of very artisic songs,movies and books. 'In Cold Blood' by Truman Capote is a masterpiece.Read it if you haven't. 'To Kill a Mockingbird",

    even Poe's ' the Raven' include murder- by a bird,no less. I always thought Bob Geldolf and Jerry Seinfield looked kinda alike..Do you see it?

  • @searchlight18 I did think the same thing on that last point. In cold blood was a movie I saw, never read the novel, and To kill a mocking bird was a book that I moderately enjoyed. Don't get me wrong, I am a firm believer that most everything beautiful comes from something tragic, and I think a lot of people would agree. But, if you look at the nature of what that means, that in itself is FUCKED.

  • @Chapter1Tormented You need a positive attitude,life is beautiful.I've gone into the darkness for fun,but also realize the beauty in other things.The book of Ruth in the bible is a good starting point,Beethoven-how the heck do you spell his name?Is good at three A.M.-Symphony number 6,with headphones on. Three pages long, the Book of Ruth is the meaning of life.It's fuc#ing beautiful....

  • @searchlight18 I wish I could see it the same. 10 years ago, I would have agreed. Now that I am an adult, I find it hard to see past the bleak, cold nature of what surrounds us. How can one enjoy the sun when just hours later darkness overwhelms you? In life, we just don't have enough time. Maybe WE do, but those who mean something to us, do not.

  • @Chapter1Tormented I think you're playing a role.Dude, we aren' t all fools,you know.

  • @searchlight18 You can think what you'd like. You'll never know me in real life, so what would I have to gain by "playing a role"? The moment this conversation ends, we both disappear. So if you believe any of this is possible to gain from, then you are in fact a fool. But I don't take you forgranted as one.

  • @Chapter1Tormented Unless you have terminal bone cancer,or are in a concentration camp living on 1000

    calories a day,you can't be "tormented" otherwise you're an introverted person-or girl- who's playing the tormented role.Get off it..

  • @searchlight18 Um, "Tormented" is actually the name of Staind's first album. The 5th album was "Chapter V." Using that logic, Chapter1 (comma) Tormented is referring to the first chapter of their book, metaphorically.

  • @Chapter1Tormented um,who gives a shit?!

  • @toobularbells I'm sorry, who are you again?

  • @Chapter1Tormented No need to apologize,but thats what I was thinking.

    Or more to the point,who do you THINK you are.

    Nobody gives a shyte.We're hear to listen to Sir Bob when he was a kid,not read the tripe of some self-important asswipe spewing his beliefs & wealth of useless information.Seriously,do you think anybody cares?You're a waste of space.Shaddap & listen to some classics

  • @toobularbells The thing of it is, this conversation has, and will continue on, with or without your approval. So, you're wasting your time. But please, continue. I somewhat enjoy watching people get so flustered over nothing.

  • @Chapter1Tormented Peruse down to numase1 comment

    I think shes talking to you

  • @toobularbells Peruse? Is that a verb? I can speak English, and some German. Please respond to me in either of those two languages, please.

  • @Chapter1Tormented lmao...

    Literacy is overrated anyway you illiterate stump

  • @toobularbells Lol, your uncouth vocabulary suggests you are from an pommy backround. I always did have a fascination with your mannerisms; very blunt and direct, so obtuse however, that it borders silly. But cross one, and that's your head. I've watched enough football fights to know that's true.

  • @Chapter1Tormented Ohhhh,yer a limey!I knew you were inbred.

  • @toobularbells Please, enlighten us as to how you've come to such a round-about conclusion? Perhaps you became intimate with your sister and I was born? Certainly no fault of my own, but it would explain your brash attitude towards your betters. I'd be disappointed if my son made me look a fool time and time again. Sorry, Pop.

  • @toobularbells US? You got the crabs?

    shaddap retard

  • @Chapter1Tormented While I agree with your point completely, peruse is in fact a verb. Try not to make yourself look like a dunce while flaunting supposed intelligence.

  • @NAOT4R Even a genius asks questions.

  • true story

  • bob is soooooooooooooooo freaking sexy <3

  • snopes.com

  • thumbs up if youre glad that chick shot the school up, because without her this song wouldnt be her

  • This is THE BEST PIANO-ness EVER

    I like the guy who does the piano stuvs

  • 2:41 The guy in the background is fucking hilarious XD

  • Jan. 29, 1979, Brenda Ann Spencer, 16, opened fire on Cleveland Elementary from inside her San Carlos home with a .22 semiautomatic rifle. She killed the principal and a custodian as he ran to the principal's aid, and wounded nine.

    A reporter was able to get her on the phone during the six-hour standoff, where she explained, "I don't like Mondays. This livens up the day."

    Those famous words became the inspiration for the Boomtown Rats 1979 single, "I Don't Like Mondays."

  • this song was dedicated to a girl named Brenda Spencer who shot an elementary school and wounded nine childrens because she didnt like mondays

  • Monday why you no sunday?

  • Wow, I always thought the singer wondered "Why he didn't like Mondays?" Which was kind of odd... because hell we all do. In reality, after 16 year old Brenda Spencer wrapped up the worlds 1st school shooting spree in 1979, it is a response to a Journalist asking her why? she replied : "I don't like Mondays". Not sure I will be belting this song out in the shower Monday AM any more.

  • @Icydedpeopole 2:37 learn that the lesson today is how to die

  • 52 people were shot by the little girl.

  • @fnerXVI not 52 ppl man

  • @rwhizzle420 I know this. I was making the correlation between the fact that a little girl shot some people and there are 52 dislikes.

  • hey look its PINK ( if ya dont get the movie joke then just nvm -.-)

  • @cdude1313 Got it ;) Actually had a friend ask me "isn't that the guy from The Wall?" When I told him yes but he was famous and "somebody" before that movie. He looked at me like I was crazy. Sucks getting old...

  • @kpboland1969 LOL that sucks man but i wouldnt know anything bout getting old lol im 13

  • thanks for brings this track back ;-)

  • Thumbs up for Pink Floyd: The Wall

  • MONDAYS SUCK!

  • Do you remember when this happened? It was decades before Columbine. It was a young girl and that was her answer as to why she shot the students. I remember it so clearly 30 years later. Loved this song. It spoke to me.

  • @creegan98 Yep. I remember it too. Anyone know the name of the girl and what happened to her??

  • @CSXer she is still in jail

  • @CSXer

    Brenda Ann Spencer. On 29 January, 1979, she took a .22 rifle, and shot at a bunch of children in the playground at Cleveland Elementary School, here in San Diego. When asked by the police why she did it, her reply was "I don't like Mondays, this livens up the day." Two people were killed, and nine others injured. She remains incarcerated to this day.

  • If you love your children sooo much go join them! 

  • @justkevy

    Do what, now?

  • @Rezqewr SERIOUSLY??? Is that true???? The REAL reason why behind I Don't Like Mondays?? That sounds like the real reason behind Foster the People's Pumped up Kicks song!

  • @ojmccaf63 Yes. this actually happened. I remember this very well.

  • @Rezqewr I like the song. I was 15 when I heard it for the first time and all I thought about is how I hated Mondays! Because school was the next day!! It is sad to know that Brenda took her dislike of Mondays and obsession with a song, to act in such a horrific manner. God Bless those who died or were injured as a result of her actions.

  • @SPECKLES49 She wasn't obsessed by the song, the song was written AFTER her shooting spree.

  • i am guessing that 49 people do like mondays

  • Bob Geldof looks like Jerry Seinfeld! Or maybe its the other way around!?! lol

  • thumbs up if you know barbara ann spencer!

  • @PD19954 you mean brenda?

  • @PD19954 yes my bad

  • video looks similar to hey st. peter by flash and the pan,like the same film stock or director or studio or lens or whatever

  • Thumbs up if the children disturbed you....

  • Monday the 13th - forget Friday the 13th.

  • Thumbs up if you are still watching this in 2011!

  • @oFiFaHD Wouldn't that be everyone that watches this?

  • @oFiFaHD No, you daft cunt. I'm watching this in 2755 . . . stupid arse.

  • @ezioaltair761 Enlish dick, go away and be on the doll, and I am sure you are.

  • its pink! haha good song

  • Yea, this song is about a girl who opened fire at an elementary school from her home across the street. She was 16 at the time and said she did it because she didn't like Mondays and it livened up the day. Yikes!

  • Bob before Sir.

  • like my coffe cup with garfield on it says moondays suck!

  • the 80's had so much better music. im 17, and i thank my parents all the time for raising me on 80's music. lol

  • I didn't realize that the guy from the American version of " The Office " sang this song.

  • @FlashFooks not descriptive enough to be funny 

  • bob geldof rocks

  • 2:34 How did they get Willy Wonka to star in this video?

  • Everytime I see Bob Geldof, I keep getting reminded of his role in Pink Floyd's The Wall, especially the part where he trashes the hotel room.

  • If I ever wrote a famous song I'd hope it'd be something of this caliber. Fantastic. And who likes Mondays? Just don't go shooting... :S

  • @DragonChaserKev im just curious, do you know what this song is about? 

  • @the1013trombone A girl who shot up her school.

  • @the1013trombone As pet3rgriffin says it is about Brenda Ann Spencer - and her shooting spree which has her still sitting in prison. I had a wiki link but it won't let me post it.

    So yes I know and pet3rgriffin knows and now you know too.

  • @DragonChaserKev i alreaady knew. i was seeing if anyone else knew...

  • lol the kid at 3:01

  • 47 ppl LOVE mondays...

  • Love this song, Oh to be 15 again. Walking down the street with my sis singing our favorite songs at the top of our lungs just because we could.

  • I don't know why, but the lead singer reminds me of jerry seinfeld

  • You gotta love the weird late 70's hairstyle. Thumbs up if you agree! he looks as if he hasn't slept in a year.

  • You gotta love the weird late 70's hairstyle. Thumbs up if you agree!

  • @ThatMathGuy7318 ..... Im blonde sorry :S

  • I jumped up onstage and did "the worm" dance with Boomtown Rats onstage at the Seattle Paramount in 1978 !

    And if anyone has pictures of it I will pay HUGE $ for a pic !

    Was hilarious....

    Then I saw an open mic...grabbed it and yelled. "ROCK AND ROLL".... Bob got on his mic and said, "We don't need any local help"...... too funny.

  • thumbs up if you saw the wall movie.

  • @machinimafan27 i get high and watch like the last 15 minutes of that. that stuff is messed up

  • @machinimafan27 um. while I realize that Bob Geldof was the star of the Wall, this particular video has absolutley nothing to do with Pink Floyd or The Wall. But it does bring me right back to being 13 years old and junior high when this song was first popular. (and if you do the math you will figure out just how old this geezer is in 2011).

  • Is it just me or does Bob Geldof look like Hugh Dancy in this?

  • I love everyday I am alive......nothing else compares...

  • 47 people Dont no what music is

  • @joeyalliestevenrule And at least one person doesn't know how to spell know

  • Brenda Ann Spencer...

    Can anyone tell me why, once someone decides to shoot someone else, we start using their middle name?

  • @dasgdasg I've had this conversation before the answer seems to be so news people can ensure the correct person gets the blame. There maybe many people with the same first and last name as you in the area, but there will be way less with the same middle name.

  • @dasgdasg

    The reason is, to help avoid association with or to be mistaken for all the other people who happen to have the same first and last name. It's standard procedure in the media to refer to a person who commits a heinous crime by their full name so all the other people named Brenda Spencer aren't stigmatized.

  • Every time I see Bob Geldolf, I always image him in the Nazi outfit.
