[hadarper22]

Taken from "TARATATA" TV Show

[princesstna925]

BOB IS SO SEXY...I LOVE SIR GELDOF

[TTRMental]

I don't like Mondays but i dont go shooting at a school ... 

[ovmovmovm]

The same french tv show from that "Lie To Me" live version!

[MrTamimisa]

The best song inspired by a spree killing serial killer (Brenda Ann Spencer, who killed two people and injured nine children in 1979 after shooting a 22 rifle out her window at a school across the street. When asked why she did it she said "I dont like mondays. it livens up the day.") ever written!

[YakoozaD]

[fatrat1able]

he should have reformed it on a monday,he's a fukin idiot,,,,idiot,,

[erik123wsv]

fucking great.

im in heaven.

[MrPerrucci13]

And a good friend of mine at this time was playin' in a band who openend for the Bercy show. Jon have been decided to throw a radio competition to find the opening band for the show and the band of my buddy had won it. After the show, Jon purpose a major contract to the band of my friend who accepted. But just a few weeks after, the band (that was called Caps) splitted. I was disgusted. They could live my dream and they splitted. So stupid.

[founderjay]

@MrPerrucci13 you should have reformed your buddy's band with you then signed the contract :|

[MrPerrucci13]

I remember that show. It was called "Taratata" and was presented by Nagui (a french man egyptian (Alexandria) born). At the end of the show, crowd was so much exited that they play These Days that was not previoused. There was Willie De Ville too with wich he played Save The Last Dance For Me (from Mort Schuman). That was great. I still have an old VHS with that show on. A few weeks after, the band went for a show at Paris Bercy. I was at this show...

[ikkeryger]

[jovi565]

[hsu738]

[yuvi135]

The Boomtown Rat's ORIGINAL version is so much better...

[llucan01]

What about "I Never Loved Eva Braun" his 'happiest, cheeriest, best upbeat song about Hitler ever written'

[Jojordan12]

Im loving the whole MJ piano dude :P

[TheNameIsGilles]

[tom6lillie5]

Bob can you pay the royalities you owe the boomtown rats. Bob THEY WANT THEIR FUCKING MONEY NOW.

[Hooli22]

@tom6lillie5

Be Blameless Beloveds, BBB

[TonyBurke100]

@tom6lillie5 It's so easy to slander people while we hide behind anonymity isn't it. I suppose you got your information from some cheesy tabloid and now you've decided to involve yourself in something that has nothing to do with you without really knowing if it's true or not. That's called slander.

Identify yourself and your sources or just butt out !

[MrRogie18]

hey man .Its Bon jovi,my Idol since birth.

[misia1063]

Super utwór. I duet .

[dipievil]

38 people like Mondays

[DAVIDH101280]

2 legends on one stage fkn awesome

[TheMaryPoppyns23]

Genial Este tema.... I Don´t like mondays

[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...coz' money ..money....money is coming.... he he he...(from Jakarta Indonesia. with love..! )

[snarlah]

Anyone who doesn't like Bon Jovi should hear this duet with Bob Geldof--it's excellent.

[misheleamster]

Tori Amos did a cover of this song on her album "Strange Little Girls." She recorded it from the perspective of the girl whom this song was about. She slowed it down. It's rather chilling. I love her rendition of it.

[surfin4]

unusal mix

[rolando130]

taken from the frenc TV show indeed called Taratata

[piofranc]

God is near the broken hearted,comforter of the afflicted

[piofranc]

This is a sad song hope God comforted them already

[piofranc]

This is a sad song

[vlaos000]

Hey i'm looking too for the One Wild Night video, if someone find it, share the link please!

[TheSwonderfull]

The One Wild Night CD is far far better version! But still an amazing song!!

[danexgen]

it's kinda sad about what this song is about and that is a true story. to much to type if you wanna see the story look it up on google.

[Milowfan1234]

Jon and Bob together are genious!

[davlor86]

thanks San Diego girl (Brenda Anne Spencer) for making this song possible lol

[IngeborgK817]

@davlor86 What were you thinking? Your reaction isn´t even close to funny!

[davlor86]

@IngeborgK817 dude, relax, i was just kidding obviously. Still sometimes i believe that from something shamefui also something wonderful can happen, do you know what i mean?

[IngeborgK817]

@davlor86 First of all, I´m not a dude. And I admire your sense of humor!

[julestherat]

@davlor86

Genius comment lol

[Ghoulza]

People seem to forget that this song was inspired by a 16 year old girl killing to two adults and injuring 8 children.

[sheltona1]

Definitely in my top 3 of favorite songs of all time.

[siaskametal]

There are songs that u never get tired to listen it this is one of those songs. I love it I really love it

[fandebonjovi100]

voila un morceau genial

[temmy2409]

Great duet ...!! and surely I hate monday!!!

[zincthi]

People seem to forget, what a great song writer Geldof was.

[CRAZYLOVENOTEGIRL]

its the combo of both of them cus together we rock!!!!!! Mo better together

[gerrarddante]

bob geldof 15 years later looks relly old

[fatpaul57]

 I AM SWEATING

[TheGigsixstringAge]

...

[61SGman]

Bob looks like freddie cruger

[MrRamonesbrasil]

bob geldof is very the great forever

[vicentecala]

who is the autor oficial of the song ? Bon jovi or bob gedolf ?

[natalielovelegorn]

@vicentecala Bob Geldof

[vicentecala]

@natalielovelegorn Thank you ! :D

Althought, BON JOVI IS THE BEST BAND EVER ! ^^

[natalielovelegorn]

@vicentecala Of course!!:D

[TomFromJersey]

@vicentecala boomtown rats (bob's old band)

[BonVonJoviCroft]

LOVE BON JOVI!!!!!!

ITS THE BEST BAND IN WORLD!!!!!

[Congest]

Geldof and Bono need to fuck off with their backwards ideas about how to solve global poverty. Have either of them ever met a corporation or government that they didn't get on their knees in front of? Pathetic.

[Panthuras]

i <3 bon-jovi so in my mind it makes th song much betta 2 hav him in it. i thought howeva i think it might hav been a bit insensitive 2 write this song just a month after th shooting. that prob y it didnt get very high in th charts in america

[SpaceWars2025]

...'Silicone chip inside her head had switched to overload'

[ionamann]

interesting video - i had a hard time liking jon until i saw his ability to appreciate and collaborate with others. i never would have expected him to do a boomtown rats song with bob, but seems they worked something out. kudos to both.

[Ameeegoz]

Love the song but an epic cover

well done but i still give masses of credit to boomtown rats

[Darkboy206]

great one hit wonder of bob Geldof.....god job by Bon Jovi.....but for my taste this song only needs a Pianofor the music.....

[rocketman991000]

I'm not a fan of Bon Jovi but must admit he added spunk to this duet.

[Purple2Hill]

@Zvonok But still I think that Boomtown Rats play the music better. :)

[TheGigsixstringAge]

...

[GothRain101]

i dont think so. the boomtown rats have a much fresher sound and voice. this is just boring-_- (my opinion, not ment to offend someone)

[stocktonbg]

Yep... that's how history happens :)

Amazing stuff.

[jmguitareboucher]

This video is awsome with Bon Jovi. There's something than the original. I love this song.

[Star120000]

They sing abbout

That a stupid Girl Kill many people at scholl and as they ask her why she answerd cool " I DONT LIKE MONDAYS"

[kingbj86]

@Star120000 yes thats wot is written about the first school shooting in america ther was sumthin about it on crime not long ago

[Gigsixstrings]

...

[youthfork]

que grande bon jovi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sainterosette]

... love them both. :-)

[bozinator2687]

what a great song. sad story math teacher told my class.

[domich888]

obviously Geldof sang it too many times, Jovi is great refreshment, really good song othervise

[isabelle7892]

Juste magnifique...... un truc de fou ! Je connaissais le duo via One Wild Night mais alors les voir comme ça : wow !!

[sabinabarbara]

correggo grandi artisti

[sabinabarbara]

bravissimo...grande artista...

[10hab]

great version

[Tensaiharu]

It's just Perfect!

love both of them, great one =)

[Lorenian]

I like both voices together :) good song and I don't like mondays either :P

[BleediingLurve]

i dont no y u like this song look at waht its about im watching eht now not a good song to sing about a stupid girl whu shot people por a thrill DONT write songs about tradgedyz like thiz ever...

[catrulerofdeath]

Spell check?

[igicro]

it's monday...and i don't like it at all...

[adriana20222]

I love this song!! :D

[gravewitch]

I like it a lot!!

[SuperLapsap]

@dorotka88pl He bloody well should. It's Bob's song!!

[riesbergen]

Wonderful, that rest, high quality silence at 2.41 -3

[panudate]

He's probably done a load more than you though

[SuperDsweeney]

@panudate a rat ( geddit ? ) with syphilis has proabably done more than he has. Great artists comment on the times and try to make some sense of them. Geldof was doing exactly that. You can be as cynical as you like but the fact is Live aid did help and continues to help hordes of people. And nothing else matters really.

[SuperDsweeney]

@SuperDsweeney This post is in response to somebody slagging off Geldof. Someone else said "at least Geldof did more than you did ".

[ecodina22]

u dont know the story. is a good muscician and person.

[Raymoiful]

BTW I know the story behind this song, so?

I PERSONALLY dont like anything he composed and I think he is a bastard who took use of other peoples tragedies to promote himself (live8 was also about his propagation and he stole some money there - good person? are you kidding me?) oh whatever...

[lauraoc2]

Nothing better to do with your time, huh? Bad news for you: Geldolf doesn't care about your lies, and neither do we.

[mack89464]

And I suppose your great contribution to the cause of humanity is slinging mud at Bob from your reclining chair and cheeto encrusted keyboard.

[jodilis]

geil!

[BonJoviEmm]

Awsome XD !!!

[lukinho17]

tear slipping from my eye

[MartinaBC1963]

A great performance!

[riesbergen]

Woow!

[Zvonok]

I think Bon Jovi makes this song much better.

[dufinaa]

@Zvonok Totally agree with you.

[TomFromJersey]

@Zvonok no way

[lacacadetuvieja]

@Zvonok no doubt ;)

[SpankinElroy]

@Zvonok --- I don't know that a song about such a terrible event could ever be made to be 'better'....but at the very least it has appealed to a different generation and brought attention to the fact that as a society we fail every day. I'm not a tree hugging peace freak that wants to join hands and sway back and forth to old coca cola commercials....I just think we can do a whole lot better, that's all.

[MrPeanutbass]

yeah i like how he introduces "sir bob geldof"

really cool

[cronosbray]

I prefer the original.

[zebralife]

Please, can someone upload the song "save the last dance ..." from the same show .

[Milowfan123]

great version of this song!

One of my favourite singers together with the favourite singer of my stabbed very best friend...makes me cry...but better than crying alone!

[MultiMusicFanatic]

I'm kinda sad that the real crowd isn't in this video, there is a track on Bon Jovi's "One Wild Night" CD where they perform this live and the crowd goes NUTS when John announces Bob Geldof and they are not quiet one second of that performance, great song anyhow, great man, great band, great quality, did I miss anythin?

[artonautti]

@MultiMusicFanatic Im sorry but IMO only idiots "go nuts" in the crowd during such a sad song like this.

[180GAVIN]

@MultiMusicFanatic Thats from wembley 94, i was at that gig....simply stunning!

[Gigsixstring]

I hate Mondays too!

[MsCaptainJaneway]

Jovi makes it  He is the best

[SweetandSaltyTears]

GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!

[vashtanerada1]

i get a little upset everytime i hear this song. it sends a shiver up my spine when i hear it .

[kayscuba]

Everybody knows what happened in 1979.

Even if the story is awfully sad, and 2 teachers were shot dead (RIP), the way to tell the story and the music are UNIQUE.

[Rezqewr]

In 1979, a 16 year old girl named Brenda Spencer opened fire on a playground full of children at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego with a .22 rifle that her father had given her for 16th. birthday.

When asked 'why' by the San Diego Police, She replied, 'I Don't like Mondays'.

Ms. Spencer, now 47, was just denied parole, and won't be elegible for another 10 years.

Sir Bob Geldof wrote this song in response to the tragedy in 1980, and released it with the Boomtown rats.

[mo762455]

love dis song u would if u know wot happen 4 him 2 writer it

[Dys1970]

Song was originally put out by the Boomtown Rats in 1979

[Dys1970]

Written by Bob Geldolf

[kayscuba]

Love the song

Hate Mondays too.

Thanks for this great vid!

[guitarepiratetv]

everybody hate monday :)

[HoneyNutTheAlleyCat]

fuck mondays

[ph0enix619]

that's not the one wild night version is it?

[tigereighties]

this song is like indescribable...

while the melody is so peaceful the words are still powerful... amazing!!! and THAT is why I love bon jovi!

[unschuldshascherl]

You love Bon Jovi because Bob Geldof is a great Songwriter? Mhm... that is really... without words.

[sirmattblack]

but it is not a Bon Jovi song?

[SimGreenJade]

mondays suck,they really do!!! neverthelss, amazing song and great version!!!

[kane72107210]

這首歌寫的太棒了 敘說一般人都不喜歡 星期一 太棒了這首歌

[radio19770]

awesome version

[sullyy1288]

To everyone that says they agree with the song and wants to know what it's about, this song was written about 16 year-old Brenda Anne Spencer, who in 1979 used a rifle given to her by her father to open fire on an elementary school across from her home, she wounded 8 and killed 2, the Janitor and Principal who were attempting to save the children, on boy got shot only an inch away from the heart. If you don't believe me look it up.

[sullyy1288]

one*

[Earthlinked]

You are right - the song was written about Brenda Spencer - and when the police captured her and asked her why she did it - her first answer was "I don't like Mondays"!!!!!

[Cavillier1970]

My God, I heard stories but thought they were urban legends. This is a great song, but it's kind of hard to enjoy when you know the tragety behind that inspired Geldof to write the song.

[spideylong007]

yeah and geldof has been dining out on this song for nearly 30 years!

[Wat0the0french0toast]

yup

[yabracso]

Friday im in love... The Cure

[smocoo]

[kochiyose12]

[BruceLeeBelle]

Much better than the studio version !

[paulaaferreira]

I resuscitate every time I hear and see bob gelfof

[uChakide]

This is not a celebration but rather a commentary. There is a HUGE difference, but then I guess that is a step too far for you!

[PC4TW]

yhé so good ; )

thank you very much

[smokindog]

I was never a big Bon Jovi fan back in the day. Butt.... I have come to realize that you will not find better musicianship than this anywhere :-)

[sparksm2]

That is a great cover, but noyhing can beat the studio recording

[misred1]

sparkssm2 how does Bob Geldof cover his own song?

[rickblank]

Beautifully.

[misred1]

lol too funny rickblank,you made me smile :)

[carl2isle]

fuck you

[ItalovesJuJu]

Amazing! I love it! :)
