Sound of the Suburbs likes this. First saw them in in NYC opening up for the Clash.

Talking “Teenage Kicks” With The Undertones’ John O’Neill - VICE

Nothing stood out at the time, In , I was in Amsterdam looking for a show to see and went to see them at a small venue, They were great love and I went through the catalog of records when I got home to NYC two weeks later. So many great songs. Agerst , Mar 19, Location: Scarsdale, NY. Electric Sydney , Mar 19, Location: Boston MA.

Doing their first US tour in eons in May. Location: New Joisey. I'm going to both of the New York City shows. I never thought I'd have the opportunity to see them live.

Teenage Kicks

LandHorses , Mar 19, Sound of the Suburbs and crazy eights like this. Location: Pacific Northwest. Love them. Spitfire , Mar 19, Location: baltimore,maryland,usa. Location: Planet Earth. I think all four albums are good to excellent. What's also very worthwhile is the limited edition version of singles collection "All Wrapped Up" which contains a bonus record collecting the corresponding b-sides. Most of them are as good as a-sides.

Undertones without Feargal S.? Never was especially interested in them and haven't heard a single note. I mean His solo stuff on the other hand; never could stand "A Good Heart". Neonbeam , Mar 19, A fine band, I don't know much of their albums but when I was a kid I had a few of their singles. My Perfect Cousin was a favourite, still sounds great. Excellent lyrics, sharp and funny, great tunes, what's not to like. The Killer , Mar 20, Sound of the Suburbs and melstapler like this. I was surprised that anyone could even work out what our songs were called, the way we sometimes introduced them.

Most of them ended up on the first LP but some stragglers never made it to shore. Undercover Lovers? Do the Fast? We gave them a couple of airings but then quietly buried them under the floor of the Casbah. By early , the songwriting was starting to spread among the band, although it was always as a supplement to the main supply from John. Writing a song, and it not being at all bad, gave me a warm, almost Ready Brek glow inside. The totality of my input in the process was the bassline, three notes so basic that even Dee Dee Ramone would consider himself underused if he was asked to play them.

Or the reggae toaster U Roy. Maybe U Thant, the United Nations leader who died in Anyone who saw action in the great Punk Wars will remember that it was standard practice to cover an old 60s song but preserve your artistic integrity by the simple trick of playing it at twice the speed.

Teenage Kicks by The Undertones - Guitar Lesson, including solo.

At that time we were playing Gloria in our sporadic appearances in youth clubs and community centres but we were, in retrospect, quite sedate in our rendition. Just do great songs but play them really fast. When we decided to upgrade it, John sped up the riff beyond recognition. In the original version, the song suddenly takes on a whole new meaning. The guy is lusting after some young woman , but the desire is more hopeless than we realised. He is not really looking forward making sweet lurve with her, but to going home and masturbating. The lyrics were, sadly, changed to the version we all know and love, reflecting the delicate sensibilities of the public.

Teenage Kicks is NOT a song about masturbation. John O'Neill , who wrote the song, is adamant that that is not the subject matter and to say it is derogatory. There has only ever been one version; what you hear is the original and only version.

The lyrics were never changed. Sorry to spoil your illusion.
