Boomtown Rats - I Don't Like Mondays

[dmbfan101]

What Dr. House and Dave Matthews play on the piano in the episode Half-wit

[MyDreamsMyLifeNikki]

I have this song on Drama .. I like it ..

[Morvalwen27]

protest songs always become popular after the event. No matter how tragic.

How long til we see "Columbine-the rap"?

[Eliserbet]

FC. KØBENHAVN,.... ??? wtf er du dansker eller hvad? :)

[marcuspotter4564]

Brenda Spencer disliked this video 12 times herself.

[awik32]

Ha ha ha! "I don't like Mondays; this livens up my day." - that is *PRICELESS*! It's such a wonderful expression of my own attitude, which is that humanity at large is worthy of nothing but the utmost disdain (no, not even my hate). I am going to *write* to Brenda to liven up her day, cheer her up, and comfort her, because cruel, merciless, vindictive swine are *still* trying to bore her to death in prison after all these years - it's one of my *MANY* reasons for despising humanity at large.

[TheMemeQueen]

@awik32 Interesting, can you please inbox me more details of your despise for humanity? I am interested in your thinking. I like it.

[Widgetski]

No one like Mondays. Forever alone!

[SamSoftware]

legendary song

[glennflood9]

born in the early 90's and listening to it non stop every day in 2011

[09elyboy]

great song!! the one and only good song geldof wrote!!!!!

[jaggerandrea1]

@09elyboy what about Up All Night? Another great song written by Geldof....and even Live Aid is a great song.

[tubewatcher314]

hardest type to read in a video made...ever.

[pjvenner]

Great tune but Russell Brand got it spot on at 02:45 - Saint Bob he aint.

[Moosecock77]

This song still gives me the chills to this day. I was at this school and watched both the principal and custodian get killed and several of the kids get shot. When I hear the song it takes me right back to to moments. I hope Spencer never gets out. Her parents still live in the same house she shot from.

[Save0urCulture]

@Moosecock77 you're lying.

[Moosecock77]

@Save0urCulture And what makes you say that?... Other than being a person that makes un-informed public comments.

[Save0urCulture]

@Moosecock77 What makes me say that about you other than being a person that makes un-informed public comments?

:))))))) ROFL

[gainsbourg66]

Geldof was constantly re-writing Bruce Springstein's 'Born to run' song without (probably) ever realising it ..'its a deathtrap..it's a suicide trap'...('ratrap'). The influences are everywhere - but despite all this 'I don't like Mondays' is a great achievement in its own right.

[uppsala87]

a great song...thank's

[rustykeys178]

why is there a union jack, their irish ? 

[questcecestlepoint]

@rustykeys178 well he lives in england. And you mean "they're", not "their" please don't hate me!!!!!!!!! lol.

[dkelly8005]

this song is awsome makes u think geldoff is a god to us who came up listening to him idolise the man he is the man

[jasper12366]

what reason? cause there are no reasons! what reason do you need to die??

strange, yet powerfull!! think about it!

[pet3rgriffin]

Can't find the actual video anymore >_<

[MrDAVIDEO84]

Nope !!! Sorry I Was Looking For The Dixie Dregs !!! Rod

Morgenstein ! The Best Drummer On The Planet !

[Gimblett1]

The song is amazing and so the piano's playing...4 thumb up (including my legs) a'hay...! there is story too behind this fabulous song, when i was school girl and worked for some offices after that I don't like Mondays either but ever since i have my own business at present I lovvvvvve Mondays very much, and can't hardly wait looking forward to it...money ..money....money is coming .. ha ha ha...(from Jakarta Indonesia. with love..! )

[pjrg1919]

@Gimblett1 Your legs dont have thumbs.



[questcecestlepoint]

@pjrg1919 How do u know lol you've never seen that person...

[YeaYeaCanDo]

well... russell brand is a cunt.

[calethesneak]

bob geldof, what a cunt

[ICE420]

@calethesneak , a cunt is useful, unlike you you cocksucking piece of shit.

[calethesneak]

@ICE420 cheer up mate, it was only a fun poke at the russell brand incident. wouldn't be here if I didn't want to listen to the music

[uberpedant]

@ICE420 calm down, and/or get a life.

[GodWillem]

7 Killing Spree!

[phillygrl69]

Luv this song! Piano is amazing!

[dictator54]

[Geo69xr]

this brings back memories

[yummymummy100100]

I was born when this song was number 1!

[theperformingguy112]

Fucking Classic!!!!!

[sweetmelodies7]

ah matt nathanson has good taste in music. i just found this song cause he wrote on facebook that it's a good song :)

[ThePALoLo808]

The piano part is pretty much the best part of the whole song

[angey8]

godd i was so little with this song..i remember the video so clearrr.,..i loved the video

[grizzlyten]

Great song - remember it well. Thanks for providing the comments with the vid, too. Was fun reading those as I listened to the song.

[bowiehs]

I am not a fan of mondays either, a whole different wk ugh.

this song is amazing, I`m sure everyone feels this way at some point.

@michael79331

She killed two adults

[lubetube2009]

Great eye workout

[VampirEmotions]

Hmm you have to be sencerely psycholtic and cold to do what she did...

[WulvPawz]

i really like this song

though it would've been better if it never was made

as in, the girl never went nuts and shot all those people, so there was no reason to write it

[ysfaljanabi]

Good informative fan video. YSF

[tanjentsdotcom]

EPIC job with the FACTS..

I remember when it was banned from American radio

[pjrg1919]

@tanjentsdotcom yeah, she quoted wikipedia like a pro.

[TheKaiserczar]

I do hope ya'll realize these comments in the video are almost exactly from Wikipedia?

Great song though.

[ashleyjpbanks666]

@TheKaiserczar Yeah funny that ain't it ;)

[dannywodniak]

@ashleyjpbanks666 I DONT LIKE FRIDAYS SAID Anders Breivik

[AssassinOfSilence666]

@TheKaiserczar dude, who cares if they are from wikipedia, im damn glad he put them on there, i always love to know what a song means but im always too damn lazy to look it up on wikipedia

[uberpedant]

@TheKaiserczar so?



[marcelageiger]

@TheKaiserczar I don't care. I mean...it is informative, so as long as Wikipedia does not complain about copyright issues, why would you care?

I love this song.

[MadPseudi]

der tex is voll geil XD

[vdemen1]

Σε απάντηση της Λαμπρινής Αβράμπου σχετικά με την μέρα!!!

[sheenaall]

don't like Mondays

(Tell me why)

I don't like Mondays

I wanna shoot the whole day down

„Weil ich keine Montage mag.

Weil ich einfach mal am helllichten Tag rumschießen wollte.“

[YamiJulia]

Mir läufts eiskalt den Rücken runter bei: There no reasons

[MrGrtzlbrmpf]

das lied ist einfach unglaublich

der hintergrund verstörend

daass es möglichist dass jemand aus hass auf einen wochentag wahllos menschen umbringt ist verstörend

[germankarateka2]

Als ich das Lied das erste mal hörte habe ich die serie "der letzte Bulle" geschaut, in der das lied zu hören war^^ finde beides hammer und die Serie ist voller geiler Lieder

[carstenjcool]

What does the sentence "Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen" mean?

I am german and don't understand that. Could anybody define "peachy keen" or the whole sentence? Thx

[selpmax]

@carstenjcool

Peachy keen is the same as... real cool!

It's an old term which is rarely used today; but, was common 50 years ago.

[MrLt69812]

@selpmax Really more like 60 yrs. for that term

[shymama8]

@carstenjcool "peachy keen" is a way of saying things are happy. so if they say, "sweet 16 aint that peachy keen" they are saying that its not so great. i dont know if they have them in germany, but over here in the States, girls have "sweet 16" birthday parties when they turn 16.

[carstenjcool]

@shymama8

Ok I understand. So it's like saying "Sweet 16 isn't it all alright?"

In Germany the 16 parties aren't as popular as in the USA. In Germany you get a driving license when you are 18 so the 18th birthday party is the biggest. But I know 16 parties from MTV "My Super Sweet Sixteen" Show :). What a crap ;)

[JoeMat1000]

Argggggh!! Now they've deleted the video in my profile too! What the hell...?

[madlsre]

Why the hell, do you mention the Fuckers(F(u)CK), they suck, there is only one good danish football club, Brondby IF!

[JoeMat1000]

By the way, you can watch the original music video by clicking on my nick. Although deleted from Youtube, it's at my profile.

[JoeMat1000]

Hey, i've just uploaded the original music video and it has been deleted at once because a matter of rights related to UMG! So why the rest of original music videos in Youtube aren't deleted as well?

[pinkwoman004]

niemand mag montage..oder? oO früh aufstehen und zur arbeit oder zur schule gehen :P

[TheScene3]

this tragedy happened at my school well i didn't go to the school at the time but it happened at the location of my school

[ShellTrek]

@TheScene3  Did you know this Gal personnally? Did she look a lil' off??

[TheScene3]

@ShellTrek like i said i didn't go to the school at the time but her crazy ass dad still lives across the street

[arnoldkevin1]

THE VIDIO IS WAY TO BUSY NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT ANY OF THAT JUST PLAY THE DAMN SONG NEXT TIME

[carchavtube]

Sad story, but a beautiful song.

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ !

[SomeToTry]

ich mag den song. aber ich finde der kann nich singen...

ich hab ihn schon ma von jemand anderem gehört und da fand ichs besser

[TheBamlach]

cooles lied

[josewegsonty1998]

YAY! F.C Copenhagen! But the song is so beautiful <3

[blackatron666]

Love this song....Always have since I was young

I grew to love alot of old music due to my parents

I don't know what I would do without Rock and Punk and stuff

I will always love this band no matter what happens

[MKGStuff]

mhhh ka aber ich find montag is schon ein grund. ich mein montage sind halt scheiße

[supajens08]

ein geiler song mit heftigem hintergrund

[rockstarfish420]

Awesome video.

[rigbst]

only 2 killed? that uk dude showed her a thing or two! lol!!!

[tyler5458]

she was one messed up bitch if she did that

[IvoryWhiteRose]

wow

[spannerbit]

should have lived when rats were great awsome

[jeffreyleighton]

Bob Geldof did a wonderful job portraying Pink Floyd in The Wall

[Ninsaaaa]

@jeffreyleighton

He did indeed, and when you have seen the movie, it's hard to imagine an other actor playing the role..

[johnfried1]

cooles lied ich mag auch keine Montage xD

[anarchofav]

@johnfried1

du weisst schon, dass es da um einen amoklauf geht?

[mehmehlah]

Brenda Spencer has never been released and was refused parole in 2009 and connot reapply for 10 years

[fairportfan2]

Actually, the (incomplete) song was performed that night at the Atlanta show that their WRAS on-air was promoting.

[RandomTutsAndStuff]

The person this song was written about Brenda spencer actually lived on the same street as my mom and she heard the shots the day this happened. kinda cool that there is a song about it.. Sad about the kids tho :/

[fairportfan2]

@RandomTutsAndStuff : She got out of prison the same week (i think it was) as the Columbine shootings...

[evilmaat]

What a...you have just copied all the facts from Wikipedia!

[IvoryWhiteRose]

Ich finde den Hintergrund des Liedes erschrecken und das wunderschöne Lied passt dazu!!!!!

Ich liebe diesen Song, hab ihn schon X-Mal hintereinander gehört

[sZb0u]

beautiful song but the story behind it is horrible!

[zuvr11]

@sZb0u i couldnt agree more

[darkrev0]

Wer die Vorgeschichte dieses Liedes kennt, den berührt der Song ...

[Mandy1empyrean]

She did not like Mondays-for her father taughter his daughter how to die inside-no-one lsitened to her pain-the nighly abuse. no remorse if you are died inside from abuse-a song that reminds all- IN-ACTION IS A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION- to save a childd from abuse is a miracle to them - for it offers hope to children that simply - have none. Top Absoulte Angels for supporting the Chidlren of Eden. love amanda and robert. TOP BOOM-TOWN LOST RATS AND GOLDEN GIRLS-UNTIED IN PEACE AND LOVE. ^^^69*

[ILoveYouVanessa666]

@elisabethbathoriii

Im Grunde bin ich deiner Meinung, aber diesem speziellen Fall, hast du Unrecht, denn Spencer hatte tatsächlich keine Gründe, das stammt nicht von den Boomtown rats, sondern von ihr: "There was no reason for it, and it was just a lot of fun."

Das waren ihre Worte. Und so leid es mir tut, aber DAS VERSTEHE ICH WIRKLICH NICHT!

[elisabethbathoriii]

@ILoveYouVanessa666

was ein mädchen einem reporter sagt, nachdem sie gerade ein paar menschen erschossen hat, muss ja nicht notwendigerweise das sein, was sie wirklich denkt.

[cydcharrise]

this song is about a real life school shooting when they arrested the chick her only explation was i don't like mondays

[elisabethbathoriii]

@badDrMadMax

ich denke schon, dass man sich über den text gedanken machen sollte, wenn man etwas schreibt- und sei es "nur" ein lied.

der vater sieht keinen grund für die tat, was zeigt, wie wenig er seine tochter zu kennen scheint. wenn alle taten sofort als grundlos abgetan werden macht man es sich ziemlich einfach. die meisten geben sich keine mühe etwas zu vestehen.

[hanna713]

@badDrMadMaxes: das ist nicht bloß ein lied! das basiert auf waren Ereignissen.

[elisabethbathoriii]

"there are no reasons"- das ist doch quatsch. sie wird schon gründe gehabt haben. die meisten glauben immer, wenn sie nichts verstehen gäbe es nichts so verstehen. ansonsten mag ich das lied.

[notamused123]

na ja, sie hat ja gesagt auf die frage, warum sie das getan hat: "I don't like mondays"... is ja nich wirklich ein grund... nur eben dann, wenn du sagst, dass auch langeweile ein grund ist

[badDrMadMax]

@elisabethbathoriii  es ist ja nur n lied- -'cuz there r no reaons hat halt reingepasst...

[mokkojumbo]

@elisabethbathoriii genau baddrmadmax!

[Keddi91]

I don´t like mondays!!! Dieses Lied spricht mir aus der Seele.

[regpourmoi]

this is a very impressive video about the song...thank you...i was only looking for a video of it with lyrics...but this is much better..i enjoyed reading and watching and listening....good job...

[firstdutch]

warum so depressiv werdet doch banker ..hihi da konnt ihr dreckschweine sein und .. bekommt noch 3 millionen abfindung ..aaaber erst  lernen und studieren in Havard ?? Gewinn für euch der verlust für die steuerzahler .. jut wa ??

[MrJonas32]

Jeden Montag denke ich an Freitag,um die Liebe wieder zu sehen!

[SlimJoe1990]

That's sarcasm, everyone. Don't fly off the handle.

[HorstBenz]

@David56583 ARE YOU CRAZY??? She made a massacre and you write down these words??? IDIOT !!!

[David56583]

@HorstBenz hab ich dich gefragt???

[RayRoark2009]

@David56583 If we did that then Monday wouldn't exist, then Tuesdays would be in place of Mondays and then we would hate Tuesdays.

[TheFifi15]

@David56583 But then you hate the next day and then the next day....

[David56583]

@TheFifi15 ja naja weisst schon was ich meine ;)

[angey8]

@David56583 yeahh me tooo....i really hate mondays...that why i dont never work on mondayssss

[supajens08]

is das lied nich entstanden, weil i-sone amokläuferin oder so nicht auf die frage: warum er/sie es gemacht habe, geantwortet hat: i don't like mondays??

auf jedenfall ein großartiger song

[blablablablabla891]

Jap genau deshalb.. dieser amoklauf ist aber schon ne weile her. Und es war ne frau.. damals 16 jahre alt.

[TheKiller911k]

naja eig ist es desswegen entstanden

nachher hat sich rausgestellt das sie als kind von ihrem Vater sexuell Missbraucht wurde und desswegen denk ich mal n bisschen kaputt im koppe war ;-)

aber trotzdem großartiger song ^^

[firstdutch]

warum so depressiv ?? .. tsst .. werdet banker zieht die schule durch studieren und 12 millionen sind peanuts ..

[basinator93]

[TraderJoeEis]

@arsch20 Das pick ich nicht :D welchen hintergrund?

[arsch20]

@TraderJoeEis

es war mal ein mädchen in den usa amokgelaufen, ich glaub das war in den 80ern. als sie geschnappt worden war und man sie gefragt hat, warum sie amokläuft, sagte sie: "i dont like mondays"

[TheDeamon1992]

@arsch20 *I dont like Mondays. This livens up the day (Ich hasse Montage. Das(der amoklauf) belebt den Tag.).

[TraderJoeEis]

@arsch20 achso. jetzt pick ich das.
