[G00192087]

class pity it was on the late late show they deserve better!!!

[BYRNEZI]

lets go to Whelans !!

[Burncourtable]

I used to like this but now i think its pure shite

[ph03n1xamb1t]

Dreadful, dreadful song

[rafalkwiatkowski73]

who sings this song?

[warlockconlanabu]

@rafalkwiatkowski73 it says it in the title. Something Happens, or Tom Dunne is the singer, if thats what you were asking

[titiaatje]

it's a classic because of the lyrics. I sing this to my new born child and I'm the parachute in it. It's simply beautiful! Playback or not. The song is cool! It makes me smile as well. An underestimated feature!

[ERiCDrAyViN]

bit gay the way he's singing to his mic stand! Look at the audience/cameras ffs! Other than that they're good, nice song!

[ronantimmins]

oh you're such a cunt

[19george73]

amazing song , underrated band thats for sure , great lyrics , so what if its poppy , its cool and makes me smile xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[BluesBoul]

The sound engineer that did this should be shot on sight...

When it comes to technique, they're not the greatest band in the world, but god they know how to make some good music!!!

Great song!!!

[reidzappa]

how utterly boring!

[spentonmediocrity]

@reidzappa

methinks if ever there be a snoozapalooza they're the headliners...

[remogonzalos]

this is the best,tom is a real rocker,,much better than u2,,when is they goin back on the road,,well done lads ,,rock on,,rock on,,

[niamhdowling]

Tom Dunne is some ride

[jimkunz100]

im best friends with them!!!! My mom used to manage them too!

[karlesk]

lacks oomph because RTE compress audio on live Broadcasts!

[ChibbiFie]

i like the song, a LOT, but he just doesn't look good on stage :S

[soulevolving]

thinks its for the lls, to drag it out, plays quicker on cd i reckons too xxxxx

[fignon]

zzzzzzzzzz

[REDBACKDEAD]

@fignon Blame kenny, he ruins everything

[Tonyo1221]

Is this my headphones or . . .

Is this seriously lacking Ooomph!!??

[melijn1]

Yes, this song always has a positive effect on me! I wish I had a parachute!

[tanusch76]

It has happened a few times now: When I'm waiting for some kind of message or result (exams or something like that) I often listen to the radio while waiting. And when they play this song I KNOW the result is positive. Weird ain't it?

[kerrieosullivan1]

Just posted it on facebook legends it will never age like all of us born in the 70's eternally young

[nollaigo]

still a great song, will never age

[ShrawPk]

tom dunne is a hero, anyone that disagrees should be convicted of blasphamy

+ hes a better singer than you (who ever says he's bad)

[REDBACKDEAD]

@ShrawPk Yes I agree, but isnt he terribly boring on newstalk

[rogermcnally]

Fat tosser!

[niallro]

is his shirt tucked in? what year is this? 89?

[bacabu30]

Tom Dunne is not a great singer.

[moe17moe]

bull .he's good enough for this band . nice pop tune.

[paudybyrne]

can someone email me the song please. let me know and ill give address thanks

[killiney08]

If he is lip syncing he could have at least got his pitch right!! ...dopes.. the video is out of sync!! LOL - love this song!

[Kieran84ire]

they arent lip synching, it's just the video.

[tiermacgirl]

What happened??? these guys were fantastic live in clubs years ago, at the time better than U2 (IMHO) - can't find the music anywhere these days and this video doesn't do any of the original recordings ustice. I know someone out there has the knowhow to prove it ...I want to hear the proper stuff on radio etc again!!!!

[50percentfree]

...and now hes a smug dj on newstalk 106

[rathcooleposse]

Sorry, not visionary - cunt.

[rathcooleposse]

Light a Big Emotional Fish, what a band - revolutionised Irish music. Tom Dunne is a visionary.

[nanomanimal]

Bloody loved that song when I was 13 though!!! Still great!

[smellybridges]

he is lip syncing, so obvious

[nanomanimal]

Prat Kenny's lip syncing is obvious too then :)

[nazgjunk]

It's only way out of sync, that's the video. Can't really see whether he's lipsyncing, but I doubt it. This isn't exactly the original recording.

[puppybeard]

Get a raincoat!

Yeah!

They don't write them like that any more.

[billybigblueballs]

death to pat the plank !!!

[dirtymaarten]

Yes Lora it was, pity the Band did not get the recognition they deserved.

[irishbloke99]

[danoriordan77]

[lora100200]
