I'll be forever grateful to have turned 17 in 1980... left senior school in '79 so money in our pockets from working whilst listening to the radio all day, then, partying at night in the pubs & club of England. What phenomenal memories we have of our youth played-out with the best musical decade in history - PRICELESS!!
@@stevenmaxwell6834 Don't what?? Listening to this again, I find it strange that he's apparently singing to a girl who treated him badly, and singing with passion and anger, but he's saying, "There's no hard feelings, there's no feelings at all". Which is clearly *not* the case.
Another forgotten (lost) gem. What an amount of energy put into one song, unbelievable. I was there when it came out and it is pure classic. I like brass and a driving bassline, and listen to the guitar in the background. Why do they not do something like this today anymore?????????? Too much computer?????????
Absolutely still loving this in 2023. Love the raspy voice of his. The 80s was awesome put me in the DeLorean and take me back no social media and mobile phones life was easier no worries then💃🏿💖🇦🇺
Absolutely brilliant song. The video is fantastic. Double drummers , Dancing brass sections and hundreds of people walking up and down stairs for no obvious reason. It doesn`t get any better than that.
"...hundreds of people walking up and down stairs for no obvious reason." Lol! Agreed, it's a great video. Coupled with the brilliance of the song and Feargal's performance, it's truly fantastic.
How many pairs of speakers have you blown up while listening to this song? I bet it's been a quite a few. You are spot on, this is a brilliant song. Keep cranking up the volume. Yours Sincerely Steve Butler 🙂👍
This screams the 80s.While we knew at the time the music was good it’s only after it ended we realised how great it was! So many great memories,so lucky to have been there
This is one of the hundreds of high energy, and brilliant songs in my top 10 of great music! My quiet Sunday morning has truly been shaken and woken up, and glad for it!
Remember seeing this on TV on Top Of The Pops when it came out……I was just starting high school and it’s been one of my favourite songs ever since….along with “A Good Heart”, just brilliant songwriting for Feargal’s totally unique voice. Whoever came up with the design and choreography for this video is a genius though…..the guys dancing with the trombones, the two drummers, the women marching up and down the stairs, all in lock step with the rhythm of the track…..it’s simplicity is a joy to watch. I’ll never tire of this. 80s? Please come back, we miss you! 😢
Sharkey, completely bonkers, but such a unique warbbling voice!!! Sharkey WAS The Undertones, without him there is no Undertones, it was his unique voice that made their songs so great. And this song is just superb, a true gem of the fantastic 80's, if you weren't there you have no idea what you missed
After A Good Heart got to number 1 in late 1985,this reached top Top 5 in late January 1986. I recorded it off the radio one night when it came out,and at the end of my recording it had Capital Radio DJ Mike Dicken saying "I could stand a lot of this."
I love this song so much. So bitter! So vicious! Anyone that’s ever had that true kind of heartbreak where the only way you can keep on living is just getting rid of all feeling can understand this message.
What a song, What an energy! You little thief You let me love you You saw me stumbling You watched me fall You left me broken Shattered and bleeding But there's no hard feelings There no feelings at all You little thief You little savage You little beauty You little whore You've taken everything I had to believe in Now there's nothing To believe in at all So tell me how does it feel To make a grown man wanna die Does it make you uneasy Does it every cross your mind You little dream You little nightmare You little nothing You little girl You left me broken There's no hard feelings Cos when I needed you You watched me fall.....
Just loved this song, the fun they are all having, the passion that they give when performing and the beat is epic...I remember when I was a teenager loving this song and now I have found it again, what an amazing trip down memory lane. Thanks xxxxxx
A great song and a really great overall performance by everyone involved!! Wouldn't it be great if someone discovered that there existed another video of this performance just taken from the front of the stage showing everything all the way through - the girls marching in time up and down the steps, the singers on the left hand side and (for me) those magical brass instrumentalists doing their dancing with the trombones etc in marvellous timing with the song. Finally, I'm sure it's not necessary to add that Feargal's singing and dancing would be so enjoyed when seen all the way through the song - he is SO enjoying himself!
Wow, what a very powerfull song from this singer, fkn take me back to the 80's now I will sell my sole to go back, tears :( This guy is god send :) Cheers from AUSTRALIA :)
I loved this song when it first came out but strangely enough I only saw the actual video on here for the first time....lol..never saw it on TV back then.
One of the harshest pop songs ever written. I struggle to think of anything more scathing than this. Its so full of vitriol and genuine hurt but I still love it
AWESOME !. This song absolutely rocks. Gives passion to people to get up and get going to achieve in life.The Rhythm and harmony of the back singers, just brilliant !. Fergal , magnificent enthusiasm , just awesome . The 80's music by far is the best . Brilliant , absolutely brilliant .My nephew won the voice here in Australia who has a sublime voice, just sublime. I even tell him ( Harrison ) to watch this. Bring happiness to people around the world !. Fergal, thats exactly what you have done. Well done. Absolutely BRILLIANT. Thank you so much .
Is that the best ever music video or what, love the people on the stairs at the back, very like Gilliam's Brazil, two female drummers and a horn section in Zoot suits... Genius
This is what gets me up in the morning, literally. It's my alarm sound, although I should probably give it a break before I play/alarm it to death. 80's, I miss you, I love you and I want you back.
Love this song. Still do. As a kid watching this as a new song I was fascinated by the 2 drummers in perfect synchronisation. The 80's are the best. Take me back Fergal......& the 2 drummers.
Fantastic song. Written as a direct response lyric by Benmont Tench to ' A Good Heart' which was the lyric penned by Maria McKee upon her breakup from Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame. Makes these two songs all the more real life and in your face. Real heart wrenching stuff!!!!!
Awesome! There was so much more genuine original creativity in the 80's. I haven't heard anything original or remotely interesting in years. I listened to this a week ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. I appreciate it more today than when I first heard it in the 80's. Thank God I had my best teenage years in the 80's and got to enjoy all the great music.
I heard this song on the radio the other day and boy what a throwback, I was so in love with Feargal as a teenager at that time and forgot about this masterpiece, absolute goosebumps. His energy in this film clip it absolutely mesmerising, I could just watch all day. Trumps the music of today, how I miss the 80s so much. I do have a thing for the Irish boys and I did end up marrying one to 😂
Feargal had two hit songs, A Good Heart (Written by Maria McKee) and You Little Thief (Benmont Tench). McKee wrote A Good Heart about her relationship with Tench and this is his reply. I still find this amusing :)
I didn't know about 'A Good Heart' being written by Maria McKee; only knew she sung with Steve Earle on a song called 'Nothing But A Child' on the 'Copperhead Road'. Also her song 'Show Me Heaven'.
Go Feargal, our floppy fringed friend! As I've commented previously, what a stomper - wouldn't you just love to perform this! Just ace, so much energy!
This is the song of a survivor an aliver. It will always remind me that my mother never win, That sometimes not telling her mother. what my mother is best. Thankyou fergal sharky for an athem of strength
Ahhh so, so good!! One of the most 80's things you could see! Fantastic track too! For those of us that were there, it's enough to make our hearts ache a bit for those halcyon days in the sun. I dare you to watch this without tapping your feet and wearing a huge smile!
As others already said, a masterpiece. Totally unknown for me. Perhaps this video was used as inspiration for the Daft Punk's Around the World video. Thank you very much for sharing.
This guy had more going on in 1 song than most artists today in an entire album!
It was legendary.
Also has more from this song then other musicians do in a lifetime.
I have respect for him he's doing a lot about water pollution
Soooo right!!!
@@BrendaDrummI just watched a clip of him doing that. I came on here to hear "A good heart" 😅 and now I'm listening to this one. 😊
Out of Ireland. It came from nowhere and blew us all away. Thes best song of the 1980s.
Yes
One of the greats, but nowhere near the best of the 80s
But there were so many in that decade. Great music.
He put his heart and soul into every song and the backing band were amazing.
A serious contender for the best song of the 1980s.
❤❤ i agreed you and the, drum rhyme like satisfaction by rolling stone 🌚🌝

Definitely the best times 😊
@@richardjones2667 FABULOUS TIMES!!! 🤩
Great song I remember Doug mulray played this song on triple mmm.
Good memory's
What happens to him😂
Definitely. Priceless
I had forgotten how amazing this song is. Mr Sharkey giving it everything! Goosebumps
It is brilliant
How is it possible to top this? Visceral, energetic, passionate, sublime. Says it all. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THIS.
Nothing in this whole package couldn't be made better. So rare to find such masterpieces. I salute you fans of this song!
Saluting you right back!
@@RighteousBrother I think he meant "could" be made better, not "couldn't". Amazing how many people struggle with basic English.
@@CB-xr1eg Felt there was a grammatical error there somewhere and you nailed it. Nice job.

Is this the GREATEST MUSIC VIDEO of the 1980's
I SAY YES!!!!🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aaaaaaah yeeeeeeees

Feargal put his heart and soul into this performance . Outstanding
Great song
Yea,they all put so much energy into this song!
I know now why this video was referred to as 'bigger than Ben Hur' here in Australia when it came out.
Particularly like the lyrics, you watched me stumble and you watched me fall🤣👌#humanrights #UN #universe #nofearintruth #tønsberg #Tiffanys_amps
Certainly went all-singing-all-dancing on this one,and he does put his all into it.
Absolutely still loving this in 2023. Love the raspy voice of his. The 80s was awesome put me in the DeLorean and take me back no social media and mobile phones life was easier no worries then💃🏿💖🇦🇺
Back to the 80s would be great❤ I'd take fighting dinosaurs compared to today😂
Not an overplayed 80's song... ..great energy🎼😲
Born in 67 and had the pleasure of experiencing 80s music, when I go I’m going back to the 80s
Absolutely brilliant song. The video is fantastic. Double drummers , Dancing brass sections and hundreds of people walking up and down stairs for no obvious reason. It doesn`t get any better than that.
Or worse
Powerfull music that could knock down a wall
Spot on
"...hundreds of people walking up and down stairs for no obvious reason." Lol! Agreed, it's a great video. Coupled with the brilliance of the song and Feargal's performance, it's truly fantastic.
haha for sure! love the energy of this performance
Masterpiece. The emotion, the energy and that incredible voice.
One of the best thing about the strange 80’s was this! 2018 and I can still blow up my speakers with this!❤️
Well said
And Boy George sang backup on this song!
How many pairs of speakers have you blown up while listening to this song? I bet it's been a quite a few. You are spot on, this is a brilliant song. Keep cranking up the volume. Yours Sincerely Steve Butler 🙂👍
There's no feeling at all! Really?
This screams the 80s.While we knew at the time the music was good it’s only after it ended we realised how great it was!
So many great memories,so lucky to have been there
I'm so very grateful to have spent my late teens and early 20's in that era. it was the best of times.
@@catey62 Then the 90s came around and oh what a party!
Um..no sorry
This is one of the hundreds of high energy, and brilliant songs in my top 10 of great music!

And this song is just superb, a true gem of the fantastic 80's, if you weren't there you have no idea what you missed
Bonkers on stage but serious about the state of our environment and rivers
Not bad for an Irish lad!! A time when music had heart and soul and artists put every last ounce of blood sweat & tears into their trade.
What an underrated masterpiece
You're not wrong mate. A real corker!!
Yeah, his first song A GOOD heart was a bit meh but then he backed up with this stomping effort.
Realy true 👍🤘
That I have been working on the 96640460 hesitate to contact me on the number
After A Good Heart got to number 1 in late 1985,this reached top Top 5 in late January 1986. I recorded it off the radio one night when it came out,and at the end of my recording it had Capital Radio DJ Mike Dicken saying "I could stand a lot of this."

after years and years I always ADORE Feargal Sharkey's so special voice !!! miss him so much ...
He’s still alive I think
@@tenrgn Alive and kicking
Glad I was born in 1966 and spent my formative years in the 80's
Love this song. It is better than a "good heart" and for me sums up some feelings I have about a past relationship.
If you didn't know, both songs are about the same relationship written by the two people involved.
It's MUCH better.
" There's no hard feelings, there's no feeling at all ", Classic.
Wot a lyric!
He still bothered enough to write a song about it all.
Balls he's shameful and immoral
What a song, What an energy!
You little thief
You let me love you
You saw me stumbling
You watched me fall
You left me broken
Shattered and bleeding
But there's no hard feelings
There no feelings at all
You little thief
You little savage
You little beauty
You little whore
You've taken everything
I had to believe in
Now there's nothing
To believe in at all
So tell me how does it feel
To make a grown man wanna die
Does it make you uneasy
Does it every cross your mind
You little dream
You little nightmare
You little nothing
You little girl
You left me broken
There's no hard feelings
Cos when I needed you
You watched me fall.....
Great song but I refuse to believe I first heard it 35+years ago. Surely I’ve been through some time warp because I remember it like it was yesterday
Dont say it! 35! i cant believe it!
It is shocking I can't believe how the years have gone this fast 😕😕
it was another better time and but our planet was much more in better shape
Same 😌
Music is a time machine. Takes me back to better times
I got this on 7" single at a charity shop today. I love it. Yes I still play Records. Feargal has a great voice. I like it alot.
I still buy my vinals... Yes in 2020
2021 and also just got this from a charity shop....brilliant.
JEALOUS!!!!+
The song above all others where if you don't get up to dance and move to its power TRULY means you're dead. Love you Feargal!
Top ten all time 80's songs. Soooo underrated
This is the definition of high-energy performance!
Just loved this song, the fun they are all having, the passion that they give when performing and the beat is epic...I remember when I was a teenager loving this song and now I have found it again, what an amazing trip down memory lane. Thanks xxxxxx

One of the best high energy super emotional dance songs of its time … STILL LOVE IT !!
i was 12 so missed it - was this played in clubs?
Just heard this song 1 month ago..the best song and video of all time...what a great beat...Feargal Sharkey is the best...thanks
Absolutely incredible feargal sharkey outstanding performance
Wow, what a very powerfull song from this singer, fkn take me back to the 80's now
I will sell my sole to go back, tears :(
This guy is god send :)
Cheers from AUSTRALIA :)
Amen
I loved this song when it first came out but strangely enough I only saw the actual video on here for the first time....lol..never saw it on TV back then.
If someone can please invent a time machine to go back to the 80,s I,ll sign up , they were the best times . Love this song and era.
Time Machine is with in you, close your eyes play the song and go back...............................
@@guitarlover889 I'l ask the Doc if we can borrow the Delorean...then we can stay there for as long as we want...Damn I miss those days.
Should be the anthem for divorce courts
Almost 50 years old...this song iis in my top 100....along with stop the calvary. Same era😊
40 years
one of my favs from the 80s. quality.
Wow!
Everyone is getting into this song.
Those Girls on the drums are
Going for it.
Brilliant Video Clip.
Can't believe anyone can jump around and still play the guitar at the same time, without missing a note. Not possible!
@@jamesgill3319 Anything is possible and these 2 ladies proved exactly that. Not just very talented musicians there unforgettable 😊
Loved this, fergal sharky was a brilliant singer everything he sung was quality ❤
One of the harshest pop songs ever written. I struggle to think of anything more scathing than this. Its so full of vitriol and genuine hurt but I still love it
Have you heard, "You oughtta Know," by Alanis Morrisette?
@@tygertone Silly question who hasn't apart from little babies lol
No, charlie said he couldn't think of anything more vitriolic than this; "You ought Know" qualifies (written about Alanis's break-up) @@mikekaraoke
Thats one of these songs you have to hear at least three times in the Radio before you realize the genius behind it! An absolute Blast of a song!
I have this on a worn out VHS somewhere. Im so happy to have lived through the 80's and had been able to sing along at the time..even if badly.
A piece of absolute brilliance.
He put his heart and soul into this.
This is a truly outstanding song .a master class in how to make a brilliant pop song!
this song makes me homesick for the 80's!
Best music is from the 80,s this has everything
This is one of the best 80s videos evah!
I'm so glad I stumbled across this. I'd forgotten how completely wonderful it is!

Same here. would so love to go back to those days. the days we live in now sucks.
IMHO this was by far and away his best song!
Love this song. Still do. As a kid watching this as a new song I was fascinated by the 2 drummers in perfect synchronisation. The 80's are the best. Take me back Fergal......& the 2 drummers.
Nothing could ever beat the 80,s music.Da bomb !!
Feargal Sharkey is one of the best singers I've ever heard!
I remember hearing that on the radio at the time and thinking "Well done Feargal" for making hits out of both songs!
What a great song wow back to the 80s superb vibe rhythm
Better that the whole shit on radio today
i m8 not 1 talented song today what they wrote. wtf going on with todays music
Fantastic song. Written as a direct response lyric by Benmont Tench to ' A Good Heart' which was the lyric penned by Maria McKee upon her breakup from Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers fame.

Great music. Love the marching sequence of those ladies up the stairs.
one of the best things to come from the eighties, fantastic , what a performer, powerful song with very energetic video

And another little known fact is that Maria McKee was the half sister of Bryan MacLean of the sixties psychedelic band Love .
Benmont Tench wrote this? Wow!
cats011 and this song is miles better than a good heart
Sung and played with venom, absolutely awesome !
apparently Benmont Tench wrote it about Maria McKee

Bring back the 80s with no husband, no bloody kids, no worries, take me back.
Spot on
I hear you .
Wanna jump to your train hehe
Careful what you wish for
The energy on this track from everyone is fantastic 😂😂
Holy crap I had forgotten about this song... back in the day it was renown for being the video with the most people on stage at one time.
Fantastic!
I can't help dancing when ever I hear this song. Every time. I love it

Always will.
Loved the time I was born to witness great great music and performances.
