The Pumped Up Kicks of its time.
actually, "pumped up kicks" is the "i don't like mondays" of it's time
Yeah but Tate Langdon owns the song pumped up kicks
Boomtown Rats walked so Foster The People could run

@@saoirseculligan6789 AS AN AHS FAN, YES I VERY MUCH AGREE
TH-cam recommended this to me on a Monday. Well played, algorithm. Well played...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Recommend this to me because I watched Brenda Ann Spencer school shootout in early 1970's and she doesn't like monday.
@@najae084_ yes sir Bob wrote this song shortly after the shooting when she was asked why she did it she answered I don't like Mondays
Very rarely do I actually laugh out load like I just did! Well done comment, well done!

I've always thought of this as a good song, now after all these years, I'm 54 now, I think it's a great song!
Great song about a terrible event
What a wonder and pretty man❤
Yep, still
Listening in 2024, Monday’s still haven’t changed much
What a song with such an interesting backstory I absolutely love the lyrics
RIP Garry Roberts (June 16, 1950 - November 9, 2022), age 72
You will be remembered as a legend.
that would be garrick
another victim of EJ 6795 series
An absolutely brilliant classic masterpiece about a terribly sad event !!!

Lol
I grew up in Asia where i still reside and i just used to listen to this song as it appeared on radio and the most catchy part was the piano. Never knew the history behind the song that time. Just thought it was unique.😊
42 years later this song is still haunting
Mondays are still the same as 42 years ago ;)
@Richie Collins Governments are the biggest Mass Murderers in history we need to divest ourselves from Big unaccountable Governments if we want to survive as a Species.
or something that happens pretty regularly...
@@MultiChrisjb Yeah right now in Texas, he didn't like Mondays that high school dropout
You're getting old, gall ;)
37 years and nothing has changed.
Well done Sir Bob Geldof from the son of a guy that did the art work to sell band aids platinum records for charity back then. And well done for sticking it to the rich at that corporate bash today I'm proud of ya man.
Aw, that's not true. It's gotten worse!
Ha even worse now
42 gotten worse
Go Brexit. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Still gives me chills 44 years later

This song had a story to it and is very haunting
"May we meet again" 🕊
- Jasper
Wow - that piano introduction by Johnnie Fingers deserves a 'like' of its own. 1979 was a great year for the Rats & for music.
German teen magazine BRAVO commented in 1979: This song expresses exactly what many of us feel (spricht vielen von uns aus der Seele)..
This song was so unique back in the day, and it’s still as unique in 2023.
That iconic piano opening, to the epic piano closing.
What a masterpiece.
Total respect to the band that have stood the test of time.
I salute you.
✊🙏👏👏👏👏👏
I was in Ireland summer 79,this song was everywhere, even singing it in church, lol, 😁🇬🇧
Be careful. That is the UK flag... A whole other country... Just saying ;)
@@davidodonoghue1092more of the fact that this is a song about a mass shooting
@@davidodonoghue1092 Ireland is an island that is part British. He said he was in Ireland, not in the Republic. And you should know with a name like that.
sad story behind this song
Matthew Tones Yes a girl shot up the school including the principle, a couple teachers and some classmates just because she doesn't like Mondays, very sad that innocent people died because of this messed up girl.
Julie Barnes It wasn't commemorating it. It was something unheard of at the time and now a regular thing in The US.
Bob Geldof said the girl wrote to him and said she didn't regret what she did and thanked him for making her famous. Bob finds it hard to live with that.
Laura Jayne Paterson yea she loved the song and I'm sure if she could she would listen to it on a 24 hour loop he just wanted to point out the the problems modern life and social problems are leading to last I heard in 2005 she was denied parole and if she is still alive she would be 53
Lord Bjørn --__-- what ever
Teachers?? She killed the principle and the janitor, and wounedd 8 students? No teachers, as what I read
It's Monday 1st July, 2024, here in the UK, and it's raining. I don't like wet Mondays! 😮
Trump ...lucky man
Hello, the guy with the keyboards, every time I listen to him, he surprises me more, because he is capable of making music with his feet. Wonderful! Peace and love for everyone.
Well, despite the story behind this song it is still a masterpiece which I could listen to all day
I don’t understand why you say despite the social commentary only adds to its brilliance
Facts:This song is actually a true story 👌m.th-cam.com/video/vG2atI0oVe0/w-d-xo.html
It's the story that makes it a masterpiece. It's just that the sheep society doesn't get it. They can't unite their positive feelings with their negative rational thoughts.
No shit - I sang this as my party piece when out on Hallowe'en one year, doing what the Yanks call "Trick or Treating". Went down well. Lots of sweeties were acquired.
The best songs talk about the most difficult subjects, eloquently
Father - I Don't Like Mondays
Son - Psycho Killer
Holy Spirit - Pumped Up Kicks

Hey, I have a question for you; What's the background story behind Psycho Killer? Is it based on a school shooting like what Brenda Spencer did or Columbine? If there is, please tell me about it
@@l0k0lightning51 From what I can find, the song itself is just about a blank serial killer with no specific real life basis, although the idea of making a serial killer song was inspired by the character Norman Bates from Psycho. (who in turn was inspired by the real killer Ed Gein)
@@zaqareemalcolm Cheers for that
Idhbtfm choke XD
Boomtown Rats are phenomenal. Bob Geldof has one of the most sublime and truthful songwritings along with Mike Scott, Pete Townseheld and Bob Dylan. Absolutely brilliant. I was so glad this song exists, it was expressing my feelings so well, which I had in the 90s. And quit nothing changed, since human nature don't change even in thousands of years.
Avevo 11 anni quando l ascoltai x la prima volta in Olanda e non era x loro così sconcertante !!!
my favorite moment of the clip is here at 0:58 the schoolchildren who ask him the question and him insisting on his answer little by little, making an increasingly angry face while remaining calm all the same
This is the 1970s version of Pumped Up Kicks
I guess i belong to the 70s since i cant stand pumped up kicks
Thomas Turner No. Pumped up kicks is 21st century’s version of I don’t like Mondays.
This song was based on a 1979 school shooting.
*1980's
Sorry...
Thomas Turner, You mean Pumped Up Kicks (whoever they may be) are the later version of I don't Like Mondays.
My favourite song of all time, I listen to it multiple times every day and it never fails to give me goosebumps. Such a powerful song, will forever love it.
@@rocketscience4516 Probably better a psychologist cos psychiatrists just dole out the pills that help make some shooters tbf
Me,too! This song is timeless!✌🏻
Are you serious? Multiple times?
😆
I play in shower before work and think, I don’t like Mondays
Johnny Fingers is absolutely sublime.
Who's listening to this in 2024 xxx
Me!😊

When I was little, I used to think this song was about Garfield...
*Yeah.*
@Gabriel Chaves "I don't like Mondays"
When i was little, i thought this song is about hating mondays
my first thought as well...now all we need is a hit song about lasagna..😊😊
@Gabriel Chaves you should be
No about a Girl that shoot her School because she hates Mondays.
Right from the moment I first heard this song I loved it - the arrangement and the topical story it tells made it stand out.
This has always been a favourite one of mine because I've never liked Mondays. Unfortunately I found out it is not just a song about people not liking Mondays because they had to be back at work.
Lyrics
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
The Telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world
Her mother feels so shocked, father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to their own little girl
Sweet sixteen, ain't that peachy keen
Now it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reasons do you need, oh oh oh oh?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down
Down, down, shoot it all down
And all the playing's stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with the toys a while
And school's out early and soon we be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles and the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die, die, oh oh oh?
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he can see no reasons
'Cause there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown?
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like
I don't like
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like
I don't like
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
(Tell me why)
I don't like Mondays
I wanna shoot the whole day down

This song still gives me chills after 37 years and I was only 5 when it was number 1 in the charts in 1979
What????? 37 years!!! No way, this can't 😲be true. I was 6 years old.....when it came out, now if I do the math today, it has been 39 years....where did all those years go.... I start to sound like my grandma. I love that song and still hate Mondays. Have a great week, Vicky!
It went to number 1 in July that year,at the start of the school summer holidays,and stayed there for 4 weeks. I was 14 at the time,and though I had a great summer holiday overall,it started not so well with our school having a general crackdown on our unruly behaviour,in which a number of boys and one or two girls were expelled following a rather anarchic year. Some of the stunts we pulled were funny,one or two might not be believed by everybody on an internet comments section,but we drove several staff members nuts to the point of trying to scale down their having to supervise us :-o
Needless to say details of our shenangians reached our homes in time for the summer holidays,and comeuppances were dished out according to the mores and attitudes of that past era. My parents much preferred to speak and reason with me and treat me more like an adult than discipline me,which I appreciated. But my part in the misbehaviour we were all involved in,a mixed school report and more deeds I was guilty of following my return home,particularly some involving the misuse of foodstuffs taken from the kitchen cupboards,combined to try their patience to the limit. So I got the riot act read to me by both of them individually,and received a punishment for once,the most of which was to do with parts of the hallways and stairs in our house,which were bare floorboards because although we'd been living there for more than 4 years no-one had got round to putting carpets or lino on them (!),(for a time there were some missing boards on the ground floor leaving gaps and holes into which the cats loved disappearing to explore on the off chance of finding any mice or something). I had a habit of cheerfully spilling drinks and cups of sugary tea on some of those floorboards in the hallways and on the stairs and then not bothering to ever clean it up. So I was down on my bare knees in one of the pairs of dinky 70s/80s shorts I used to wear most of the time in the summer months,with a bucket of soapy water and a scrubbing brush cleaning them :-( That was all done before too long,though,and mild compared to what befell one or two of my less fortunate friends. And I was still free to go out and stay out until dusk to,whether on my roller skates,playing tennis,swimming or to the cinema matinee/afternoon screening with my sister or whatever else I was doing,plus the usual plenty of family evenings out and day trips for a variety of things,visits to other relatives and away on holiday together for a couple of weeks later that summer.

Why does everyone say it’s haunting what’s the story behind it if any could inform me thank you
such a classic still gives me goosebumps after 38 years
It's a bloody masterpiece.
It’s still a bloody masterpiece
Age of #reason, maybe
Come back Vicky
It was 45 years ago today. And the USA have still not learnt.
Tragic and scary! Today, Monday Mars 27 2023 history repeats itself and make this song exactly as relevant again.. 44 years later... Im crying 😢
О чем речь?
same. 6 months later i'm still don't know what is this about
@@notkimpine How you mean, same? If you dont know whats the song is about I mean.. 🤔 You really dont know the story? Anyways, its about a tragic and troubled teen who took a gun and killed and injured teachers and kids at a school across the street of her home. Lots of police of course but there were also reporters from radio and they asked her why she did it.. Her answer was 'I dont like Mondays'
Bob Geldoff (the singer of the band) heard the story live and he felt he just had to write a song about it ❤️
@@notkimpine her name is Brenda Spencer.. Her story is all over Internet
Shootings happen everyday so what
This song plays in my head every Sunday night
Few songs in pop culture capture the mind of the school shooter as this one. Think of the senseless horrors that have been inflicted upon so many children since the Boomtown Rats first sang this. Those days seem almost innocent now.
you're right. One cannot listen to this now, without thinking ahead to all the terrible shootings in schools. when it came out, my English wasn't good enough, so I always thought it was a song about not wanting to go to school on Mondays.
@Ana Martins isnt she free now or still locked up
@Ana Martins aww okay i swear i seen something about her getting released she must be trying to get out or something
Spot on👍
Number 1 in UK forty years ago this month.
The song itself is quite gentle and you wouldn't know what it was about without some background info - I certainly didn't at the age of nine.
First heard this whilst sitting on a riverbank on the Blackwater River (Eire) fishing - after graduating as a teacher.
Still love the track, and have requested it for my funeral - which will be held on a Monday - many years from now - i hope!!!
This song is a masterpiece.
UK #1 single exactly 40 years ago and still as relevant as ever.
How is it relevant? It's about an event which happened 40 years ago.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 Yes - a shooting in a school - which in the US continues to happen on a fairly regular basis even 44 years later.
@@cockoffgewgle4993 because of similar events that are happening in the u.s
@@e.j9932iirc mass shootings have been on the uptick overall across the world, like even germany had a mass shooting
Today is 2nd July and last month on 3rd of June i lost my dad. It was a Monday. He was 57 and bedridden since January. Everytime i hear this song i feel this strong connection to it with the huge pain in my heart
Sorry for your lost may God continue to give you hope and braveness so you can fight more pain than anyone else!
Since the Nashville shooting I can't get this song out of my head lol
One of the best songs of the 70s. Thank you, TBR.
A team of girls sang this song at the talent show of our school. The students found it catchy either because they didn’t get the lyrics or because they didn’t know the story behind it. (I must precise we are in Belgium were we don't have the US ubran legends). But for the parents and judges, it was pretty awkward... I mean, singing this in the middle of a school...
WHAT???
@@reklessheart the more I think of it, the more I think that the guys who wants to be trolls at school should sing that.
I bought this when I was 5, it resonated with me.
the girls actually got a blame for the troll., but they are still the stars of the school, because now everyone knows what was hidden behind the lyrics.
@@MedusaLegend omg what
Can we talk about how beautiful Bob was
I never thought he was that hot when I was younger but I can appreciate him now. Daaaaayum!
there is an actor i can't name right noe but he looks like Bob back in thr days.
What great memories in the 80s... gone but never forgotten!!!
1979 actually!
😂😂
Can’t wait to see them live at Rewind Scotland 2024 at Scone Palace Xxx
I love how old artists are always so good at acting in their music videos, like the music and videos actually meant something to them and came from their own unique take on the world! 👌
Yeah, watch his face. It's stunning what he manages to say in the spaces between the words.
They still do. It’s funny, because I actually thought Bob’s lip syncing was pretty overdone and bad here when compared to the stuff you see today.
It's not about the lip syncing guys! 🤣
this song is such a classic
A true classic, ❤😮, takes you straight back to those boring Mondays and keeps you smiling as you look ahead waiting to die..........
our teacher puts this on every monday morning and we sing along
A bit macabre when you remember that this song is about a shooting
sad story to the song r.i.p. those who died that day
Poker Face so one like two people, people should talk more about the poor kids and the teacher who died in the dunblane shooting
@@probrogaming4113 Dunblane? that was the last in the UK. The government banned handguns after that and it has never been repeated here. Maybe the US should do the same.

Legendary Irish lads sang the brilliant song Bob Geldof awesome chap became SIR.
Damn, takes me back... I remember listening to this for the first time, my mate Vince brought it over to play...gave me shivers down my spine, then was told what the song was about!
If her father bought her radio as she wanted for Xmas inestad of gun this song will never be written.

Pro to what happened because we have this song

no she never rofl?
i don't like monday, Ruby tuesday, Wednesday Morning, Thursday's Child,, the saturday night fever, bloody sunday, but it's friday, i'm in love !
Finally an intelligent comment to Cure us all.
It was no ones fault buts hers there are plenty of kids who have a crap upbringing yet they don't round shooting people basically she was bored and as she said to the reporter who called during the shooting to find out what was happening and asked if she knew about the crazy shooter she said i am the shooter he asked why she was doing it she said because i don't like mondays and it's fun i was bored she described with joy of the suffering of the people she shot saying it was great target practice and was laughing then said I have to go as I've got more kids to shoot !! So no it's her fault and only her fault no one made her do it she knew right from wrong she purposefully got the car keys from her dad pretending to need something she left in it and took his ammunition this was a planned senseless cold blooded slaughter of which she had no regret or remorse other than she was stopped she given 20 to life in prison sentence and should never get out as i believe she will do it again as she it a typical sociopath who gets please from others pain and suffering
@@michaelm2889 but it's a worse song.

Such an awesome song!
This song was me. As a kid & and teenager, I was bullied to the degree I had thoughts of this. Hated Mondays because I meant I had to go to school.
Then they should've put you in the psych ward you're a danger for society
Interesting fact.
This song was inspired by a mass shooting in a school. When the girl responsible was caught, her excuse was "I don't like mondays."
kangarabbit "This song was inspired by"...
it was banned in america
Adam Brookman Of course it was. The US blame tragedies on rock stars all the time, because they are desperate for an answer of why this happened. The reason it keeps happening so consistently actually might have something to do with how wrong that approach is. No one gives a shit anymore what the real reason is and what we can learn from it to improve the human race, what they really care about is a target to blame so everyone can feel like they've found something and pat themselves on the back for "making the world better" even if they just sat on their arse to do so. The comfort of having an answer and something to blame is more important to them than searching long and hard over many years for what the real reason might be, the reason which will start an attempt to fix all of this suffering. "They see no reason 'cause there are no reasons, what reasons do you need to be shown". I think the entertainment industry would have been shocked by this and it's why the song is a work of genius.
Brenda Spencer
Adam Brookman This song was not, I repeat not banned in America! Some local San Diego stations would not play it in respect for the families who were affected by the shooting, but all other FM Progressive Album Oriented Radio Stations from coast to coast played it repeatedly starting when it came out, through today and on, it was never banned and a quick trip to google would have told you that. Kelan D. Wood since the act came before the song, your first point makes no sense at all. Let me say this to you, there is no rational reason for these senseless killings and there never will be and no reason given is ever going to make a parent, son, daughter, brother or sister feel any better, ever! And it happens everywhere, not just the U.S. However, America has become a lot more dangerous because it is now so easy to acquire a gun, (semi-automatic, mass firing, the works) and any attempt by rational people (who are in the majority, by far) to get reasonable gun-control legislation on the books are being blocked by conservative republicans and a very strong gun lobby. They enjoy a congressional advantage in jury mandered, rigged district numbers, unlimited campaign money and ads, and enough stupid fear driven voters to help them keep their political edge. Also, Kelan, people do care, but when continuously going from one tragedy to another, it is hard to stay focused on one thing, even Newtown. So, pray things can change, we democrats from America are going to have to work hard in the next two years to get the majority back and then even then, us people who elected them are going to have to stay on their (arses) to do what's right. We also need to spend more money to address mental illness, and find a way to not let people fall through the cracks of society, which unfortunately happens all too often, When you think about it, we're lucky we don't have even more shootings. Don't lose hope Kelan, some of us stupid Americans are going to keep trying to right our ship and hopefully things will work out in other places as well!
the story behind this song makes it so depressing
People.... Everyone forget what this song really says.... And yes you are right it odd. and nowadays so wrong. In fact I recently (last month) fb posted about this song but no one got what I was saying, 'he made money from a tragedy' but hey just my opinion
+arron bond Yes, he made money from a tragedy, but so did all musicians writting about 9/11. Was that wrong as well? Artists write about things and stories that affect him and this shooting clearly did affect Bob Geldorf.
I actually like the twisted black humor of this song. If it wasn't for this song no one would've know the tragic story behind it, USA need to improve their way to deal with and identify mentally ill people...Both the dad and the daughter were not sane.
אנונימית אנונימי I would like you to know a fact about america the year is the mid seventies the year abortion was legalised in america now from that. time 70s -2013 over 550k people died in america from guns I know that's serious problem John Lennon is one of them anyway now the people killed by abortion from the 70s -2013 was over 60million people in america under 40 years 60million dead I'm not saying all of these shouldn't have happened but Jesus Christ if that's not a genocide I don't know what one is I call abortion the hidden genocide
there are over 7 billion people on this planet ANYTHING which keeps the numbers down has to be a good thing
My very first album, back in 79 💪
Winter has come, every day is like Monday
Imo for it's content and the psychological evaluation?
This is the greatest song ever written
The 100 . Jasper singing this song in the shower and asks if Monty wants a hug. LMAO 😂
😭😭😭
😭😭😭Yes
I am here because of that
Yes 😭😭
I was watching the 100 and just opened this song
Reminds me of watching top of the pops on a thursday night,there was some great tunes back then in the late 70s-early 1980s. Sat there watching it with the whole family,parents moaning at the state if music!
Love the ending of this,with the crescendo then the simple piano finish
a relevant futuristic song!, especially USA.
I can't stop playing this tune, Sir Bob is such a legend.
Sir?? You would think an Irishman would have more cop on!!
42 years later and this song still has relevancy, sadly. Great tune, lyrics capture the senselessness that is still occurring... 'silicon chip gets switched to overload'... more relevant now than when it was written!
as things stand Brenda Spencer is set to Shatter Records for longest prison sentence for a Female she's not even in her 60s and has been detained for 43 years now
Definitely. TikTok and Instagram... I have no idea what is going on with youth these days. Those were not even imagined in the day of this song. It was unfortunately predictive of the youth and it's not getting better.
Loved this song
Perfect song 🎉
I first heard this as a kid on the 2005 Live Aid DVD my father had. I've loved it ever since. I have autism, and sometimes it feels like that
this is such a genius song
one of my very favourites
Depressingly beautiful 🤧
Incredible song
Saw them perform this last Friday at stone valley south.
Was brilliant 👏
Love this song played over and over again as good as the first time I heard it (love it ) ***
piekna muzyka łącze sie ze wszystkimi w bólu
This song is immortal still in philllippine fm
One of the best songs of its time.
God! This was my favourite song all through Primary school- the one I'd sing at talent shows and stuff. I can even remember telling my friends that it was a song about 'a girl who went to school and shot all the teachers!"
No wonder my teachers always looked a bit jittery come Monday morning...
+Cheeseanonioncrisps so were u good at the talent shows xD ?
wow, I never imagined this cute little song had such a dark background. I should start listening to lyrics a little closer :-)
+DOSRetroGamer I think the song was boycotted in certain parts of the US for being distasteful. No 1 over here though (Brenda Spencer - the 16 year old shootist Geldof wrote the song about - is still in prison at the age of 52).
Cheeseanonioncrisps haha

love this song ❤️❤️❤️
Complete Masterpiece. Right up there with A day in the Life.
Que buen tema . Que gran recuerdo .cuando tenía 18 años. Gracias a la música.
I have loved this song for years. And just watched Lisbugs video and found the meaning behind behind this song.

Great song!
Stunning video and tune!
Now more than ever :(
A great song from good old Bob...a classic... Bob has contributed to the world in charity for a cause and songwriting for other singers over the years..I think Bob deserves a merit for all the good things he has done...it's not easy living without one less daughter who sadly passed away a while ago..I am sure Bob was shattered and misses peaches very much..
He has been given merit, he has an Honorary Knighthood and he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 and 2008.
Brilliant song
Just show in the darkness a classic can be born
