  • Blink's version is better in my opinion. It could also be that the singer epicly fails in this band. Or I just love blink so much haha

  • what is wrong with blink? god guys blink must like this song and didnt want to ruin it so they did a cover so calm down

  • a band is as good as the sum of it's parts?

  • not even worth mentioning the totally souless, emotionless and wholly pointless blink version. the only ones have a passion and a depth for their song and what a perfect song they wrote.

  • They wrote this song over 30 years ago, nobody could play a song with the same passion 30 years later. Imagine doing the same job for 30 years, you won't harbour the same enthusiasm you did on the first day. Fact is they wrote this song and you only have to listen to the origional versions to know why its a good song, and thats why its still talked about today, blink 182 messed it up big time, they should stick to writing songs about black hair, oversized ear wear and skateboards

  • This song is fakin awesome and you buddy don't understand what's cool! Shame on you ! lol Blink did great cover of this original but original is way more better cause it's so "drunk n off beat"! That's why! lol

  • cool song

  • I KNOW!!!

  • I know, it's so sad that they can't peform as great as they used to, but still a great band.

  • thanks for this! one of my all-time favorite bands and songs. I had no idea they were out playing again -- in fact I thought Peter had passed on! glad it's not so.

  • What the fuck was that?? They must say to blink-182: thanks, you made a better job than us.

  • Don't think so.

  • agreed, its a classic!

  • blink did it great. its a shame this band isnt as good as they used to be but if they were in there prime it would be better but i like blinks version. this version sounds like the guy sucked helium and got drunk and they are all off beat lol

  • go suck dick fag !

  • im sorry im not a " o the original is always the best" clone and call it how i see it.

  • no comment for such an ignorance

  • Comment removed

  • The Only Ones did it better, IMO.

  • @karlosuvm --do some research you plonker. The Only Ones wrote the original and no cover will ever come close.

  • @karlosuvm Haha  another one that thinks 'punk' was invented by green day

  • His adictions seem to have realy taken its tole:(

  • A warning to us all - but bloody great music!

  • Christ, he looks a tad thin there :|

  • Can't agree with that - I suspect Blink wouldn't either as this version is the ORIGINAL, they wrote it.

  • yea wtf are you serious? 'oh the only ones suck' cept blink got the song from them, buttmunch.

  • dude, are you fuckin' serious?!?! i don know if blink were even BORN when these guyz were playing this back in the day...yeah, they did a TRIBUTE to this song, because it is a fucking GREAT one, but that's about it...'n one more thing: i'd like to see how you would sing after 30years of drugs&alcohol...'cuz in my book, he's holding out pretty well...

  • jaja xd lol??---no blink is my favorite band ever but this songs awesome

  • the lead guitarist ruined the song with the solo parts

  • Is that a custom telecaster? that's sweet!

  • fucking hell, they're not dead yet

  • check out my vid of this song and some of my other blink vids

  • hmm

  • I love that song so much!

    Saw them at leeds.

  • Went to see the Only ones three times in 1978/9, they were bloody great live, got the 1st two albums, and played them to death. Nice to see them back, hope i get chance to see them play live again.

  • They've got further gigs coming up; Wolverhampton (26/08), Newcastle (30/08), Inverary Castle (1/09) and Bristol (7/09) confirmed so far - Go for it!

  • Thanx Dude, will try and catch one of the gigs,I guess you must also be a big fan, as you seem know alot about the band.

  • who did this song first the only ones or blink 182?

  • Definitely the Only Ones! But good on Blink 182 for taking it to a wider audience

  • the only ones

  • the only ones did this in the late 70's

  • cant belive i missed this!

  • Care to bet how long it takes some prat to come up with "not as good as the Blink 182 original"!

  • My son saw this before school this morning. It's his favourite song ever. I had to tell him that we were there on the night. He was heartbroken that we didn't tell him about it and let him tag along. I explained that they tend not to let four-year-olds into the Rescue Rooms. :)

  • I normally take my son along, he's been gigging since he was 10 years old, but 4 is pushing it... Still there are some gigs he can get in; the festivals particularly

  • Still the best song ever! Get them on Later with Jools Holland!
