[JANER64]

This is brilliant, this version, superb. Great video direction.

[Omiewise65]

Haven't heard this for at least 30 years . Guess what ? This is freakin' amazing ! Thanks for posting

[00woolley]

@Omiewise65 Have you been cryogenically frozen for the last three decades?

[NubKi11a]

this is a pretty nice song, though I never really listen to this old music.

[futuristfood]

[imlonelyandiloveit]

Who are these greasy teenagers?

[alexxtommytunes]

@imlonelyandiloveit ur mum

[1749839]

Damn I got to thank my mum for being in touch with the old punk bands of both england and the U.S. Never would have had anything to listen to that I truly enjoy without her. Went to a show recently and still found their concerts fun and energizing.

[SheepyRiBirTh]

It's great to see music that is all about the song and not the image; modern bands could really learn from this... A true classic! (Y)

[davyboy62]

lead singer of a punk band in a polo neck jumper ? cmon fergal

[Malc2169]

@davyboy62 - Being a punk was never about the way you looked or the clothes you wore.

[aivopark]

@Malc2169 Music !

[fishypaw]

@Malc2169 The Undertones were never a punk band, they were new wave.

[Malc2169]

@fishypaw Whatever you say fella - got no desire to debate this with you.

[fishypaw]

@Malc2169 No problemo me ol' china.

[chloejubjub]

[IKevinTubeYou]

#HH tae this shite lol

[henrikxzxz]

fantastic god bless u neil lennon we love u god bless the celts

[ybrik222]

I can almost hear a Connor Oberst influence in this guy's voice.

Wait, no, I do hear it.

[CaptainTurkeyGiblets]

@ybrik222 Connor Oberst was a tadpole swimming about in his daddies ball bag when this song came out.So surely the influence would be the other way around?

[ybrik222]

@CaptainTurkeyGiblets

That's what I was attempting to imply, but looking at it now, I did word my comment rather poorly.

[ybrik222]

@CaptainTurkeyGiblets

I also noticed I spelled his name incorrectly.

[GAREMPOTS]

@ybrik222 ha ha ha fergul is old enouggh too be his dad rockinroll is dead theres nothing new all regurgitated shit who sound like imposters of true rock gods

[ybrik222]

@GAREMPOTS

I kind of wish I knew what the hell your comment was supposed to say.

[GAREMPOTS]

@ybrik222 so do i imust have been out ma heed whit a wis tryin tae say wiz rockin roll has become sterile unthreatening and very estblishment friendly i mean my time of music as a teen was pistols undertones etc what the fuck are the youth going too do too rebel and shock my generation green day cold play woooo rockin roll sure has an edge i mean the pistols and punk were discuised in parlament they wanted too ban it nowadays they only flog dead horses peace scotland

[LuanaLyrics]

hey.. I uploaded Ever Fallen In Love's lyrics (by Buzzcocks) and Booze Sex and Booze's lyrics (by Green Day)! check it out (:

[jamesbullet55]

Or was it? Fuck I dunno, written bowt the same time I think actually... o.0

[weepee1967]

I'm with the ledgendary John peel on this. Best song ever, best era ever, best music ever!! And I was only 9 when this came out.

[hoodsxl]

who are the misfits this is an undertones song written john oneil

[jamesbullet55]

@hoodsxl misfits are one of the most iconic punk bands haha, but undertones didn't rip this off considering, i think, this was written way before xD

[GriefTourist]

they ripped off the misfits for this song

[poperockenpoll]

It's not sinister when old guys sing it; teenage kicks means to jerk off.

[stevycurley892]

@poperockenpoll never heard that before, ive heard whacking the one eyed wonder weasel and jacking the beanstalk, but i think this means to be with a girl tbh

[MrStoneyburke]

this is colonel gidaffies favorite song

[realityorfiction]

wow this is awesome shit! I wish i knew about it before.

[The3rdcreation]

my band did this song also check out straightjackets

[jewboyjwr]

24 ppl need a teenage (swift) kick to the dick

[aenima11]

John Peel's favourite song !

[raymonkeyshovel]

oops didn't mean to repeat myself. Not normally that obssessive.

[Menace1979]

Best tune ever!

[Reckersed]

Londonderry, the only word in the english language with 6 silent letters ;)

[Kwales66]

Im 44 and Love It RIP John

[mrshubbles]

hey im 40 plus and still as fresh as the first time i heard it ...ty john peel x

[MrBlwjb]

[kaisernice]

@MrBlwjb This sounds wrong somehow

[IamBlueNose]

Classic Song It will Never Die

[dodgysparks]

total RAW and in your face perfection

[mgrelecki]

the Forgotten Rebels cover this live

[rileyrmfc1]

@mgrelecki so what .it wont touch this.

[skatertumen]

best male voice ever.

[musiclover7579]

good stuff

[cozener1]

Londonderry's finest!!!

[MegaFilmfan]

Yet these old geezers are coming to my hometown to celebrate the birthday of the lead singer and composer of the Four One and Only's! And yes, sad but true he is turning 50... Nevertheless, using a frase out of them days, it's a fact: It maybe an oldie, it's still a goodie!

[chloejubjub]

@MegaFilmfan Wrong!!!! Derry's finest ;-)

[MegaFilmfan]

@chloejubjub I guess you were talking to cozener1... ?

[chloejubjub]

@MegaFilmfan Sorry! Wrong person. Great song. Still Derry. All the best! BTW wasn't speaking to cozener1. x

[lolblafa]

I don't know why John Peel used to masturbate furiously to this song.

Each to their own, I guess.

Still...it s#its on anything around in 2010.

[lousbits]

@lolblafa Because the man had total taste.

[wsperger]

One of my Top faves of new wave/alternative/whatever you want to call it.

This song along with Happy When It Rains by The Jesus and Mary Chain along with She Bangs The Drums by Stone Roses.

For starters, anyways.

[rayggallagher1974]

Ahh, Derry: Full city of mental cnuts

[MyPeiler]

bekomme immernoch eine gänsehaut wenn ich das höre !!

[doapymatic]

its an alright song but not the best

[spudvader86]

@doapymatic i'm sorry but go and take ur face for a shit. This song rips tits off anything we have today. I bet you if they re-released this tomorrow it would reach number 1, instantly!

[barnowl01292]

Just takes you back and makes you feel the goosebumps when you had all those first girlfriends.

[feargal75]

a mythic rock song - also appreciate Feargal Sharkey solo performances some years after.

[teknofonix]

this makes me feel like a 16 year old - does anyone know where I can find one?

[hottisaimaa]

tää on ramonesin california sun

[thejim789mac]

[ColtyRamone]

[supershitthebed]

[Danielc02]

[kansasinnovember]

feel the energy

[baldy1]

class

[weekells09]

0-0 Just after seeing this live last night in Derry..what a amazing fucking...band they are.

[BobMonkfish]

Great song, but it sounds sinister when forty plus old geezers play it.

[snoozingphil]

@BobMonkfish Sounds even worse when little knobs like busted play it and ruin it!!!!

[BobMonkfish]

@snoozingphil Busted are rubbish, but they are at least teenage age. Thirty/forty plus singing about teenagers is just creepy.

[mrbatdance]

@BobMonkfish u'll be forty plus too someday soon my friend...time waits for no one!

[BobMonkfish]

@mrbatdance I will be (unless I die), but I won't be singing about getting off with teenagers when I reach that age.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

@BobMonkfish

they're not 40 in this video, dooshfish

[BobMonkfish]

@TimmytheGeek2009 No, but they're at least that now. Which is the point.

[TimmytheGeek2009]

@BobMonkfish

true....but it's not as bad as Roger Daltry still singing 'hope i did before i get old'. ;)

[BobMonkfish]

@TimmytheGeek2009 Or worse, McCartney singing "When I'm Sixty Four" (I believe he's slightly older now... ;-) )

[trapadoored]

@BobMonkfish

That's also the point of the pop punk genre.

Do u think Blink 182 we're really going "out on their very first date" with some chick when they wrote that song? They were in their late 20's. its like the Vandals singing "she's 16 and she's so divine" in " I have a date" and they are like 45! pop punk is about youthful fun rock n roll -just think of it as the character in the song saying the line instead of the singer really meaning it.

[orrphin]

@BobMonkfish hahahahahahahaha props

[barnowl01292]

@BobMonkfish

Not if you're a forty plus old punk.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BobMonkfish:

Ultimately dumb + tasteless remark.

Guess how old Feargal Sharkey is now: Right beyond 40, almost 50.

As i´m not into possible conversion attempts of Christian channels: BLOCKED.

You only want to make people scary of themselves getting older and then use the same old salvation machinery.....same old bad tasting wine in new bottles.....

[BobMonkfish]

@MrSKINFLICK Please use "dumb" in its proper sense, i.e. unable to speak, or mute. I am certainly able to talk out loud... I don't deny I'm getting old, and I don't have a problem with it, but there are certain things you don't or shouldn't do at certain ages. Works the other way too - there are some things younger people shouldn't really do or say due to their lack of experience.

[moe17moe]

@BobMonkfish , funny! I could just read your comment before I threw my laptop in the air, hearing this song.And I'm way way in my 40-s. It's too late, stop preaching, they should have cont. filming Elvis top half.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BobMonkfish:You´re trying to distract from what you actually wrote here.Single words in the English language(which is related up to 60% to the German language)can mean a lot more different things than single words in German:

Google: LEO - English - German translator:

dumb(Amer.)adj. - blöd(German=stupid)

dumb adj. - doof (German is slang word for silly)

dumb(Amer.)adj - dumm(German=also>stupid<)

dumb adj. - stumm(German = silent, unable to speak)

Of course you are always "right"...LOL

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BobMonkfish: Maybe the third example "dumm" might have taught you that the word dumb actually comes from the originally Saxon (= North German dialect spoken between Bremen and Kiel)+almost exclusively means stupid in the Saxon dialect as well as in modern High German.We have another similar word which is "dumpf" - but this means hollow or dull - coming from a sound SOURCE or sort of feeling. The synomym YOU meant is DEAF which means TAUB in German + THAT decribes a person unable to hear.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@BobMonkfish:But anyway:What do the motives of The Undertones interest you:Were you in the Undertones or are you Feargal Sharkey?

Teenage Kicks is NOT one of my all time favourites,it´s just one of many nice punk classics,but what´s the useless idea of having to imagine that you´re in one of these bands having to sing it over 40?

I even don´t imagine things like that+who tells you that i absolutely must be a youngster?

Some people on YT tend to make themselves life more complicated than others.

[thefunkygeezer]

@BobMonkfish "Great song, but it sounds sinister when forty plus old geezers play it")

reminds us of our youth mate! I was 13 when this came out (you'll be old yerself one day, etc etc...)

[happyhead64]

@BobMonkfish Dude, I'm 40+ year old and I dont see your point. I was 14 when this came out - youre gonna be over 40 one day. Dont dis on the old geezers. WE are the ones who made this music in the first place.

[BobMonkfish]

@happyhead64 I'm too old to sing this song myself. Which is the point!

[raymonkeyshovel]

@BobMonkfish

i know what you're saying but surely that's our all-too-literal society that we live in now where you can't sing or say something without people getting irony or simple fun. In my band we sing a song with an end line that says

'and when I get my arms around you baby, ain't gonna let go til 1953'

I once sang Material Girl in a band!! Sometimes it can just be tongue in cheek....
