[TheOhioFishing]

[NINJAMONKEYY3000]

i never understood why on Top of the Pops performers always had to lip sync... silly..

[HannahEmDavis]

this was on Dave?

great song though xD

[elementz1986]

There is something so honest and charming and Jonathan Richman.

[TheAnnafisher]

[bostonirishpunk]

somebody gave this a thumbs down? jealous frigging new yorker probably

[twinpeaked]

Shit JoJo is in shaaaaape!

[CanOfMinus]

I'm from Mass, but a long time resident of Vegas. My girlfriend wants to move to Boston, she loses the argument when I bring up snow (we both hate cold weather), but if she ever sees my face while listening to the song I'm in trouble LOL

[TheRickynow]

At least you can hear him!

[Natemire]

I'm Canadian but grew up in Hudson, Mass. Went to cape cod every summer. Love New England!

[Torgette]

Just hearing him makes me smile....seeing him do "New England" makes me happy and a little giggly.

[Torgette]

Thanks for posting this. I miss Mass so much and one of the things I miss most is running into Jonathan for time to time. He was such a sweetie, and I'd be willing to bet, after all these years, he hasn't changed a bit.

[citizenkong]

I met Jonathan Richman and he was very cool.

[andrewpaulshaw]

Fantastic stuff. Never fails to make me happy!

[russellperry1]

One word = Crap!

[MermaidAntihero1988]

This is cute!! IDK a better word for it. It's just really cute!!

[tomthewender]

So's Maine!

[RealityCheck86]

My brother brought home an album (that round disc you place on a turntable) back in the late 70's and we listened to it over and over. Now I hear my daughter listening to his music "I'm a Little Airplane" on Sesame Street. Love that he doesn't take himself seriously.

[pdorn777]

Love that Beach Boys vibe...

[thewotsit]

1978 and doing that right in the middle of punk? To me thats more punk than most punk. PUNK!

[zackmca]

i really like this song but there are only like 4 sentences of lyrics in it

[TheSonicmule]

brady bunch

[TopInvader]

That high note was unnessasary and scary...

[rocknroll015]

You're unnecessary.

[MrRyanGC]

dude has to be the most awkward celebrity ever

[mirabario]

I am from Massachusetts and this song makes me feel so proud to be a New Englander!

[a1stooge]

me too

[turdohop12]

I'm from Rhode Island and Jonathan Richman makes me smile and proud to be from New England

[ListenToSpacemen3]

Warwick REPRESENT! and i agree ...

[jllevin]

i think he was singing more to people from mass, new hampsha, maine and vermont. rhode island doesnt really count to us real new englanders

[turdohop12]

@jllevin you're a clown...why don't you look up the geographical definition of what New England is...RI has always been a part of New England, in addition to CT...if you were a real New Englander, I would think that would be one of the first things you realize...read a book

[paperbackanna]

[monsterstinker]

[Pinkbury]

[looknostamp]
