you know whats funny? i just looked at the song "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" by Weezer, and i said it sucked. literally within a few hours my email is filled with 20 comments about how saying i have no idea what i'm talking about, and that it's the greatest song ever made.
bullshit i say, anything's better than that junk, especially this. I'm back in town johnny, now play me off
@TheChevre94 fuck you dude get ur ass off youtube if ur just ganna troll, you dont like this song get ur ass outta here and listen to whatever you enjoy cause ur not wanted here
@Goodoldpie1 lol ur a little pusy ass bitch. i bet ur a wimp in real life call me up and lets fight 978 834 9991 ask for justin my dads name is frank. IM WAITING
This song will always remind me of a group of boys I hold in a special place in my heart. Those days might be gone and we've all gone our separate ways but the memories hold strong. :)
Memories just came back from a med cruise went home and friend just got back from Germany and this is what we heard and just cracked up as it was like it was written for us. we had met up with 2 other friends and one had a little sister that kinda fit the beginning of the song.
Love this song, Thin Lizzy is the beast. Everclear though does a kickass version of this song for the movie Detroit Rock City though still is not as great as the original. Always have loved this song and will continue to love this song <3
This song is one of the best rock n roll songs ever,and many bands have tried to cover this song,but there is nothong like the original.Phil Lynott R.I.P.I I never get tired listening to this.
maybe Phil Lynotte did move to Ireland from America? he really sings like a North American! or maybe he just lived in US a bit? and learned that style then moved back home?
@bansheewhiskey ...........when i first saw him i thought he was from Morocco! i know lots of Arabs, and he really had the look! he could have walked down any street from Morocco to Iraq and blended in well. what a great secret agent he would have made!!
I heard that this song was written by someone from that military academy...The Citadel. They said that there was a bar named Big John's (Johnny's Place) and one named Dino's, and that the comment about being out on Friday night all dressed up refers to them being out during the weekend in their starched uniforms. Don't know if it's all true or not, but it's a great song.
Right. There are many Irish who have attended that school, as well as many Scots, English, Arabs, Iranians, Japanese and others. It is a very interesting school.
Funny -- we're here listening to this tune in my office in Charleston, South Carolina, home of the Citadel. I used to be a physics prof there, but I never heard that rumor about this song's origins.
Also, Citadel cadets would never, never, ever go out drinking and get in a fight at a bar. Yeah right.
My husband was there when there was a Dino's and a Big John's. We dated during his junior and senior years. He used to dress soooooooo slick in those uniforms wth his buddies. At parades on Fridays they would flash their swords in the sunlight, and by night time, they were in downtown Charleston. Fights with the civilian college students sometimes happened. Charleston loves the cadets and lets them have a free hand, as long as they discipline themselves, which they do.
@TMaddaJr1991 What are you talking about? Even back in the early 2000s (30 years after the song came out) I remember this song being played on the radio at least twice a week.
@ExtraStrings I didn't say it doesn't get air time! I said that it is just underrated... people do not talk about this song being so amazing, when it really is!
RIGHT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fighting's fun but i did the other day and got suspended...god its gay how u get suspended for deffending urself....but thats off subject
Trust me I know how that is, just gotta accept the concequences and keep in mind you did the right thing. You got suspeneded? When you get back to school, you can sing this song. The boy is back in town.
