The Undertones - There Goes Norman
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- 2 minutes 22 seconds of classic pop punk. Never released as a single but a typically catchy joyous slice of life with the Undertones -- filmed in one of the band's bedrooms. We know who Norman was but we're not allowed to tell you.

I remember reading how Thin Lizzy were on tour (possibly Europe), I'm not sure where and they bumped into The Undertones. Phil was really happy about it and said as much. The Undertones bass player, I think it was Michael Bradley, piped up, "I don't like your music. " Phil just kind of rolled his eyes. Just struck me as funny.
In reality both bands are FANTASTIC and destroy the U2 COMPLETELY and UTTERLY.
Awww man, I adored this band. Feargal's odd vocal tones, the twin guitars but mostly the tunes. For me, the best ever punk pop band (and I come from Buzzcocks' town) without a doubt. Saw em at the factory club in Manchester in 1980, then the Apollo twice and the free trade hall. Wonderful, joyous, punk pop genius. Am a gushing? They were just F*****g ace. (and yeah, I know they are still going, but I'm talking about this band at this time).
+Chris A. It still fun to see them live nowadays. Saw them in Amsterdam last spring and that was a great show. They might be a "retro act" but they sure don't sound like one.
I was at the Free Trade Hall when all the seats were flattened. I was only about 14. We bumped into the bass player in corridor after. He was chatting to done.mate he knew in audience & we are getting autographs. Bouncer came up said everyone out. We said he's in the band but he didn't believe us and kicked is out onto the street along with Michael Bradley. He didn't say nowt he wasn't arsed and just carried in chatting to his.mate on the street.
It was first concert I ever went to. It was all downhill from their what a night!
Every town has somebody like Norman
Feargal is the man. My favorite Irish Band.
Over thin Lizzy man?
Northern Irish
I was about 8-10 years old during their original heyday, too young to see them live but remember like yesterday when they would appear on Top of the Pops. A really excellent, unpretentious band with some great songs.
Yes I agree
Fuck all those years of Terror, Bloodshed & War............this is what Northern Ireland REALLY should be remembered for...........Kick Ass New Wave Punk............UP DA TONES!
Thanks.
i always wondered who the young kid was, haha cool of Feargal to include him. Epic track this, from my favourite album of theirs, "Hypnotised". The Undertones man, the perfect band for when you're 15, snotty and bored. They should be in the hall of fame ffs.
I've always loved Feargal's so special voice !!!!!!!!!😍
I saw them live back in the day and during another tune there was some crowd trouble with the bouncers. They stopped the tune and went straight into this one with Fergal furiously pointing at the bouncers. Fun times indeed.
Brilliant track from a band who produced so many great songs. Love to see all the great concert posters up in the room too.
Magical song. The happiness of the young lad with his heroes. Just brilliant
Gosh these guys are great. Guitar work so intricate, rich, and raw; miraculously without stepping on each other's toes. Amazing
summed up perfectly!
@@patscanlan2678 yes very mature and clever,... the just carry the song so well
Love the Undertones.
Who doesn't?
Appears to be Fergal himself playing Norman! Thanks so much for posting these Undertones vids. They create joy and joyness for all.
The lads are quite funny and greatest guitar lines ever in pop/punk band. Buzzcocks come up a close second I'd say and then maybe Superchunk in the US of A. Woah....There goes Norman. Always made me think of Norman Bates in Psycho. Nice little video to dispel that notion though! Oh one more line I always wanted to use....These guys are the answer to the question "What is the name of the greatest Irish rock band starting with the letter "U"?" (Bono dry your tears and get over it).
@Nigel -- Well many people feel the same way you do about that, Nigel. To me, they improved and to an extent diversified. I think album 2 or 3 (Hypnotized or Positive Touch) were better than their eponymous debut. Sin of Pride tried to push into soul music or something and was not initially my cuppa tea anymore...but listening to it all these years later there are a hand full of tracks that still fantastic. If you get the extended version CDs songs like "turning blue" are to my ears exquisite.
Superchunk are a very good band, but they are nowhere near 3rd, after buzzcocks & undertones, there are a million American bands that would fit that spot far better
@@user-vg2ps6gh6j well to each his or her own but I believe Superchunk would be up there in the running. I won’t count greenday as to me they are too derivative of these first bands (Undertones and particularly Buzzcocks) though still enjoyable as they have the right influences! Give me a few examples of those many other bands you’d put ahead of Superchunk if you don’t mind! Maybe I have some musical exploration and additions I need to make to my collection!
Dinosaur Jr, Husker Du, Ramones circa 1980's the Replacements etc, even more from the 70"s too many too write
I think superchunk are underatted, you got taste yo
Awesome song! Their energy is infectious. My only regret is that I'm just now discovering who they are, but hey, better late than never, right? :D
Right but unfortunately you weren't around - I wish I could download my memory
Yeah but not the same these were around in my teens
It's never too late.
who would ever come up with such a nutty song??? The Undertones of course!!! hilarious..thanks for posting this classic..whoops there goes Norman!
Loved My Perfect Cousin as young punk. Loving this shait as a veteran. Catchy as hell:-)
Odd that I have never heard this song until today, even though I was a fan of the band. Had a moment of nostalgia when I saw the phone box and those of us of a certain age will remember standing outside one in winter waiting for some selfish individual to finish their very long conversation!😊
For me Norman is the Norman from pyscho, he has the one part where he's talking to his mum and he's looking in the mirror whilst doing so.
Some great posters on the walls and ceiling.
Fantastic Band
Everybody! I think its about Norman from Hitchcock's Psycho. Dig the part when he talks to his mother and he's actually talking to himself.
love the kid watching the band play ,he have a big smile
Discovering this music... from Argentina 🇦🇷 😊❤ me encanta
This music gives hope for the future
Too little too late for that. This was 40 years ago.
Another one here who's never heard this little gem before despite having been a fan since way back in the day. Brilliant!
The best jokers of punk and not only.
Man those posters god if only I had kept mine...sadness...the only upside MEMORIES GREAT GREAT BAND...
I’m lucky enough to have 2 large framed Undertones gig posters. Kilburn & Hammersmith Odeon I was at both gigs.
love it, blow loads of money on a video? not a chance. they had change from a 10er lol
Severely underrated song
I love that they have a Johnny Thunders poster in the background
And why not!
@@DannybFlat01 The Kinks influenced so many on the quiet.
An absolute banger!!
Remember when this came out,punky ✌️
Sweet genius! Amazing vocalist! The kid a nice touch.
I'm convinced that the young lad must be Fergals younger brother! I can see a likeness. This is brilliant music.
Indeed it is!
What a banger , love it love it love it 🌞
Kick ass real "punk rock". ! Too bad this style of music is no longer b
eing written. I throw up in my mouth every time I hear green day assuming they were ever a punk band.
Agree 100%.
Kevin Parker they kind of were but they sold out fast
Agreed to im no fan of green day
Listen to Veni Vidi Vicious from The Hyves (not all quiet on the eastern front). At least they try;-)
My favourite (modern day) punk band are The Let's Go's, a Japanese female group who have that rare gift, that the The Undertones had, to combine a punk sound with a sense of joy. ua-cam.com/video/rKO4itMgTDE/v-deo.html
PERFECT SONG PERFECT VIDEO. I want that bedroom !
God be with the days.fantastic
I wonder if Normal was Tony Blair in younger days lurking in the park at night
I mean his nan is from Donegal so it wouldn't be much of a surprise to be honest
Highly likely tbh
Breathe of fresh air this init, boy bands my arse!!!............
Superb, a great compliment to their other tracks.
best track on "Hypnotised"
Should have been released as a single!
Undertones are F.........G EPIC.... AWESOME BAND and loved all there tracks... 'Thers my perfect cousins...
It’s “Oh, my perfect cousin, what I like to do, he doesn’t! He’s his family’s pride and joy his mother’s little golden boy.”
I would like to point out that when he starts to address his reflection in the mirror as 'mother' he no longer needs a microphone.
Класс!!! Привет из России!!
Tha ride cymbal is perfect!
this song is fking awesome
i wish i had a fireplace in my bedroom!
that looks like the coziest place on earth.
Good music
I love the Stones...and Undertones too!!
What a great song and vid combo for the spotty sub culture
one of the best,he did all so well the assembly,and ??????
Cant believe I havent seen this video before - brilliant! Does anyone know where the first section is filmed? Looks like Buncrana seashore?

It was filmed in Buncrana
Awesome clip, i love it so much
Love!
Brilliant
Poole arts centre, awesome gig
A classic.
Well done. Thanks for uploading!
Sheer genius and fun!
Feargal's voice.....!!!
Wow haven't heard this song in 25 years. One of the great pop songs about sexual perversion.
cool johnny thunders poster
I think this is my favorite song of all time.
Ich liebe diese Menschen
Try and find gems like this on British radio and you’ll be shit out of luck, the question is why?
Kannte ich nicht. Geil
Increíbles siempre
I consider myself lucky to have this band and many many others to listen to in my youth. the cRAP music of today is pathetic garbage.
have you even looked for good music, there's lots of good music, you just need a little bit of effort to find some
FionnDoesStuff either you did not see the hidden reference to rap in my cRAP statement or your a fan of rap music. either way, I have listened to rap and in my opinion it is absolutely CRAP!
oh, i thought you were doing it for emphasis, although i don't like very much rap as it is really repetitive, i do like some rap songs. But what does rap have to do with the undertones?
FionnDoesStuff in my younger days the undertones were a brand new band along with the jam, the strangles, stiff little fingers and many many more.. these bands were inavators and actually played musical instruments unlike today's so called "rap artists" who just yell into a microphone to a droning repetitive beat. now with that said I did have an appreciation for run dmc and the beastie boys in their early days. but today's rap music is nothing in comparison to the music that was available in my youth...but then again my parents hated my music and at this point in life I am older than they were when I bought my first undertones record. so maybe I have just turned into my parents😄. now if you will excuse me I have to go chase some kids off my lawn.
Reverbnation has music to suit all tastes.
Cuando los videos tenían historias
é tipo um beatles de um universo alternativo
Beatles punk
forgot about this one its good
cool as fuck never heard this one before
Norman was his perfect cousin! ;-)
wow
great north irish punk
The Undertones Rule!! They took a different path from SLF Both gr8 bands I wish Feargal would join them again but the new singer is great too. saw them at Peppermint lounge back in the day and Maxwell's in 2007 or so.
Same. Kid looked like he had the time of his life!
Don't worry, Norman, Arnold Lane had way worse issues ...
Liking to dress up as a girl versus murder... well... Let's say i'd rather have a pint with Arnold than with Norman.
Given my sur name can you imagine the stick I got for this record! Love this band
There goes Norman... that was Evil Uncle Ernie as a teenager.
There goes Norman...
King Harold's famous last words
That laddie is the same one at the very end of the My Perfect Cousin video. Is he one of the band's little brothers? Anyone know?
I wondered that.
@@paulbeardsley4095 he was just a lad from derry the boys hometown he also was in a play called shadows on my skin on bbc
Great song. I wonder what some of those posters would be worth now.
I’ve got two large Undertones gig posters and seen similar advertised for around £250.
Is Norman having a Tom Tank at 1.37?
Love the Undertones, saw them a while back but not with Feargal.
Norman Bates?
Backing vocals are the biz
Best band come out of Derry since Singer Dana
i think norman bates probably
smokin band,couldn't do a thing wrong in my opinion
there goes norman
There's a young kid in the video with Sharky that looks like Jimmy Jimmy.
I think that is Fergals younger brother!
The lead singer reminds me of Steve Marriott of the Small Faces.
Who are better? Stiff Little Fingers or Undertones? It's a tough choice!
Lead singer hilaeiousb
is that banks ?
a bad ass band.....over.
