The Alarm - Rain in the Summertime

[MrMontgomeryM]

What a great song.

[cejannuzi]

Hope Big Country drafts Dave Sharp to be the guitarist too!

[aiden8798]

Mullets, Mullets everywhere. 

[priestesspadfoot11]

This was always my favorite of theirs.

[earthalien77]

*** Love this song & this band...God bless them wherevere they may be!

[nativegirlo]

One of my favorite songs takes me back to my teenage years

[splinter271]

He looks like George Hardy, of Troll 2 fame.

[schlabresfan]

I did not know George Bush was in the Alarm in the 80's.

[fairytaleforest]

@schlabresfan and Mark Burgess from the Chameleons

[mca7777744]

dead ringer for looking like carlos cavazzo of quiet riot back in 84

[vinylman1970]

One of the most under appreciated bands ever. Great guitar work..great harmonies..great lyrics, melodies, teeth gritting live performances, the whole package

[brizey5]

he made that guitar out of 2 pubic hairs,a paper clip and some ear wax. go McGyver!

[Boobieboo33]

love you sunshine! love Finn!

[skeleman1963]

the lead singer looks like McGyver......

[boso54]

cool number! I miss the 80's too sometimes.

[skuncanxxx]

I miss the 80's so much...

[leolearn713]

Unbelievable talent. You just don't find this today...vocals, musicianship and writing...and I know that's pretty cliche - but it's so true. Music in general has gone to the dogs in the last 15 years or so. It's all image.

[meccaturbo]

When Nirvana appeared on the scene in the early 90's, it was all downhill. Those motherfuckers ruined everything.

[caltara]

It's about pure love

[hk459]

Back in the mullet heyday!

[earthalien77]

Excellent.

[taufactor]

AM 1590, KJET. I remember them playing this when I was about 17. Must've been around '89.

I have this album on vinyl. Damned awesome music from this time.

Thanks for posting this video!

[shadowtoia]

Gods I miss KJET...I still see the KJET van in Wallingford on occasion...such a great station that played great music like this!

[lp32862]

A great song. The melody, the voice and instraments and lyrics it brings back younger days. Oh, youth. You don't appreciate it when your young.

[zeldafeldman]

Well stated.

[08030309961]

The Alarm was such an under rated band! They were awesome but I agree that they never got the recognition they deserved! I always used to pump 68 Guns in my car stereo back in High school in 84!

[TheRealArtzilla]

on a playlist, this song goes really well with U2's Mysterious Ways.

[kellruss]

TheRealArtzilla - funny you say that because I always thought Mike Peters sounded and looked like a blond Bono. The band's overall sound kind of reminded me of U2 also. High school in '84... yea man... good times.

[futuredeathxperience]

a much better version of 'the clash'

[babyblueloveangel]

very good

[smigbabb]

cool cool song...

[deduero]

God, this makes me feel so young again!!!!!! love it, thanks for posting, and 5 stars for you!!!!!!! ***** ; D

[moonlighting44]

love the band.saw them on their electric live folklore tour in 87 at 86 street music hall.place rocked all night long.those where the good old days.if they had the proper management i figured they would had been big like u2.still one of the best bands i like.great thanks for uploading video.cheers.ken

[faddy24]

And lo behold 4 the mullets shall return n inherit the earth. Heed my words of wisdom. The Welsh U2. Bloody good little band actually

[kirk7524875248]

This is great! I wish it were uploaded a bit louder, my speakers suck ha ha!

[martymarts67]

def 1 of their best,such a full sound!!

[bigmoyesy]

i've got this record, and yes...i had a mullet

[jimbob1792]

Most excellent song - mullets rule

!

[kimberleydawe]

Love this song and the mullets!!!!

[NYFMA]

I always think Simple Minds did this. To me it's easily The Alarm's best song.

[BahmanG]

pretty good song.

[datsMIGHTYfunny]

the drought is so tameful

[Shrykespeare]

Anyone think he looks like MacGyver? At the end, when it starts raining, I swear he's a dead ringer for Richard Dean Anderson.

[adamcharney]

Don't tell Patty and Selma that!

[CINGO25]

This is so funny! IT IS MacGyver!

[bunnEgirl]

I am so laughing! HE DOES look like MacGyver!

[ralphspimp]

MacGyver! BUWAHAHAHAHAA. He could probably make an A-Bomb out of guitar and a few paper clips. HAHA

[TheRealArtzilla]

lol, he does, but he also looks a lot like Howard Jones.

[jerseyanimall]

@Shrykespeare He does look like him but with a better mullet.

[ercshur]

the alarm is awesome

[clashout]

mike peters & dave sharp guaaaaaaaaaaaa the alarm

[avocate201]

Great song and great guitar work by Dave Sharp. For the viewer who was wondering whether this was Down Under, this was filmed in the south of Spain.

[adamcharney]

Thanks so much for doing that research. When tickertape82 asked that question, I tried finding the info, but it proved difficult. Where did you find that information anyway? :)

[avocate201]

I remember listening to an interview of Mike Peters and Dave Sharp when that song came out in '87, and they were talking about how they had filmed the video in Spain. I think it was in or near Granada, to be more specific.

[punchatz]

And the rumour is dave sharp did the guitar in one take....Thats insane, this song has one of my favoite guitar licks of all time.

I think the song is better live...this whole album was full of great songs...that were over produced IMO..

[svetlana60656]

I always thought Dave Sharp was one of the best guitarists ever. ... this band just never got their due.

[babyblueloveangel]

yeah..very good guitarist!

[zelda75231]

you are right about that. almost everytime i see one of their videos i alway see someone who say the same think 'they never got their due'. bummer, they really were a great band. stay cool.

[omddeb]

Should've had more close-ups of Dave Sharp. His guitar playing in this song is astounding!

[tianuria]

awesome!!

great band.... deserve more recognition!!!

[joostisabelle]

thanks for posting! ...brings back memories

[tickertape82]

Is that Down Under?

[TOcity87]

Great Song. Can't believe its been viewed only 397 times. This is a classic. Very under-rated.

[roseo007]

I ♥ this song! What a great band!

[adamcharney]

Oh too right! I saw The Alarm at a reunion show in Pontypridd, Wales back in 2004. Best night of my life.

[jaseywasey49]

come on bein waiting for this for ages 80's classic

wet soggy shirt dripping in the seathing heat more like.
