I am German and bow to Bob Geldof, Sinéad O'Conner, the Pogues and all other Irish musicians. Especially the Dubliners, who have been with me all my life and gave me an escape to German folk music. I listened to this song to infinity and back when it first came out. Thank you, Mr. Geldorf!
I have always loved this song. I just came here to listen to it again. But then I realized how brilliantly this video is done! Bob starts of well shaved, well groomed, properly dressed with a relaxed facial expression. But the further he gets into the song the more careless, carefree, dissheveled he becomes, more passionate, bordering to crazy even. Genious! It's the little things: a look here, a raised eyebrow there, a shrugging shoulder, the laughing of the man on the left with the huge gap between his teeth, the timing of the dancers... Magnificent! I keep watching the video over and over again and not just for the song/the singing/the music itself, but the whole video is a masterpiece!
The video further clarifies the point of the song - disappointed about stolen donations (Live Aid) trying to convince himself that he doesn't care... really great song ❤
I remember him talking with an interview about it. They were trying to come up with a simple defining visual hook like Bob Dylan’s placards in “Subterranean Homesick Blues” but didn’t want to just use that outright. Someone pointed out his reputation for being a bit of “a scruffy git” and the idea grew out of that.
To me, this song is a very humane expression of freedom, going in the direction of "nothing left to lose" however not far from a kind of insanity. It has accompanied me in my last 30 years of life and it always brought me courage and energy in my darkest moments. Thank you, Bob Geldof!
I don't know how many timnes you'd have to listen to this song before you'd get tired of it: I listen to it 2-3 times a week in the car and have done since the album came out, always with the volume UP and it never fails to lift my spirits. Genius in action.
get out of your car singing this every morning at work or at home ,watch how quick it catches on or if ur in a pub theres 2 songs that stop arguments THE GAMBLER kenny rogers or THE GREAT SONG OF INDIFFERENCE
This is actually about a very serious topic- indifference. Still it’s a great tune and it never ever gets old. The clip is effective becoz it’s natural. Never thought I’d say this but even the public comments are great
Love this wee tune,used to sing it in Cellar Bar in Omagh, with my brother Tony playing guitar and me auld mucker Liam Corry tapping along, good memories
Najlepszy clip na świecie ! Sir Bob ! proszę nie blokuj tego. Bob ! bądź człowiekiem. Legalnie kupiłem prawie wszystkie Twoje płyty. Praw do oglądania i słuchania -TEGO clipa nie mogę nigdzie nabyć. To (dla mnie) największe od The Wall. Ten clip pokazał mi że, i jak można mieć dystans do samego siebie Jeszcze raz proszę zostaw to na YT Przetłumacz sobie albo olej Tomek.
all right.........all right.............ALL RIGHT !!!!!!!!!! ALL RIGHT 'SINGING !!!!!!!!!!!! ALL RIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT SINGING ! THANKS FROM ITALY LOVE YOU

Hi @bobgeldof Why can't I comment on "Roads Of Germany"? - To me it's one of your best songs ever. - this is your channel? Stay cool and survive Corona! - You're one of the coolest guys ever...
God bless Bob Geldof. What a great guy. He is Everything but Selfish. The World would be 1000% better if every Country has one Bob Geldof. I cant say enough good Things about him.
Absolutely wonderful send up by one of the most caring rock stars of all. I have loved this song ever since Vegetarians of Love came out but never seen this video before. Thanks for uploading.
4 him going solo . I think that Bob Geldof s solo stuff that I have been listening to. Is quite good. And good on him. I think that Bob Geldof will make a good Chess player like I am. Good on U Sir Bob Geldof m8😀
Questa canzone ....ogni volta si veste di colori diversi:il verde d'Irlanda ,il colore ambrato di un buon wiskey,la luce di mille sorrisi che si accendono,il calore di piedi che iniziano a muoversi ...il colore impalpabile di anime splendide che si muovono ❤️ mi accompagna da una vita e da una vita si rinnova con nuove immagini ❤️
Reminds me of the Hotel in Birmingham. Bob came down the stairs but threw a banger down the stairs first He said enter the Irish. The Albany hotel Bonfire night possible 1979
Whenever the Scots are on the news going on about independence I find myself humming this song for some unknown reason......I don't mind if you say yes or no, I don't mind at all !
This guy saved my life when I was 20, 40 years ago..and he doesn’t know it. But he did. And I’m so grateful. Eternally grateful.
I am German and bow to Bob Geldof, Sinéad O'Conner, the Pogues and all other Irish musicians.
Especially the Dubliners, who have been with me all my life and gave me an escape to German folk music.

Didn't notice it. Thank you for sharing.

To me, it is exactly the same.
In my opinion, this is one of the best song of all. Love it!
It is rather conducive to depression.
But then most of us have that anyway , soooo - I concur.
.
Yesssss
I‘m getting old and older - Bob is still on my „side“. He has influenced my whole live. Thank you.
Timeless masterpiece! This song just makes you want to cheer up, sing and dance all the time!!!
Yeah and then get depressed.
The man who helped raise millions for famine-stricken Africa singing "I can watch all nations die". Cracks me up every time.
He even sings "I don't care if the Third World fries
It's hotter there I'm not surprised".
Irony!?!
@@wendydunnett-dagg9023 Surely irony! The whole song is ironic.
I think that he want to describe a certain kind of people and how they think
Now where did those millions go, hmmm....
The man Irish dancing is my uncle what a guy.
Bruh...
Good for you , no comments re the dancers or musicians.. they were fantastic and brought a spark to the whole thing ✨
and i dont mind at all
Tony?
Them Duckworths always did get about
my father listened to this many many years ago and now that i'm ''older'' i'm happy to enjoy the same music :D
Sometimes I like going through old music charts looking for forgotten music. And it's songs like this that make it such a rewarding pastime.
Here because of listening back to you on Chris Moyles from this morning. Forgotten how awesome it is!
Bought the record when it was released and I'm so impressed that it has not aged "At aaaaall".
How many times I danced it with my father 😍 He passed away when I was 7 😭 I am missing you every day 💖
June 2024. My son 5 years old loves this song❤
He has a great taste
This song is a summary of Irish culture - Crazy and Fun....
This is the song I will have played at my funeral.
+oOMonkeyMagicOo spot on, and it will be " the parting Glass " around the grave
+Sgtgewart smith Grave? Furnace? Local Dump? Fed to the Dogs? I dont mind!
If yer being cremated that this is the one yer needs played as yer box is moving through the furnace

I asked for Footlose theme 🤣
Und dann müssen alle pogen!
One of the greatest songs (and videos) ever. EVER! Love, love, love Bob Geldof.
Great to see a relatively "clean" Bob turning into a cross between Peter Green and Jesus Christ in just 4 minutes. Love the video.
one of the best crazy songs i ever had, just beautiful
I don't know how many timnes you'd have to listen to this song before you'd get tired of it: I listen to it 2-3 times a week in the car and have done since the album came out, always with the volume UP and it never fails to lift my spirits. Genius in action.
get out of your car singing this every morning at work or at home ,watch how quick it catches on or if ur in a pub theres 2 songs that stop arguments THE GAMBLER kenny rogers or THE GREAT SONG OF INDIFFERENCE
Love it especially the Irish dancing,it just comes together..I often sing this at Centrelink..😭
This song sounds even more better after a few... more drinks!
Melodia asta mise pare trista😩😩😩😵😵
You would need a brewery !!!
Irish dance and song!! Beautiful from Italy!!
This is actually about a very serious topic- indifference. Still it’s a great tune and it never ever gets old. The clip is effective becoz it’s natural. Never thought I’d say this but even the public comments are great
Came for the indifference but that lovely percussionist behind Bob 3:41 gets me every time... dang.
I love how he minds, that we're rolling
the great song of one lie.
courtesy of my grandfather now I'm 14 and love this song. thanks poppa T for showing me such a great song with an awesome lead singer. I love you Bob💙
La ballata più bella di sempre...
I'm really glad this video is on youtube again.
The album of this song, Vegetarians of Love, is maybe on of the best albums I've ever heard.
Yes, it is.
Indeed
I'm still loving this in 2019 ... they all seemed to be having so much fun...
Coz "they don't care at all" diddie la na da
Yeah
Oh yeeeeessss wonderful song! I had forgotten but suddenly bob geldof came to my mind ..... great show
Love this wee tune,used to sing it in Cellar Bar in Omagh, with my brother Tony playing guitar and me auld mucker Liam Corry tapping along, good memories
I love it....since i was young!!!!!!!! Super BOB

Tomek.
Senti questa canzone da quando avevo dieci anni ed e sempre meravigliosa
This is all, you need to dance, sing, party all around and having a good time. Great song and video!
Bob, please organize a concert in support of the earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.
This song has more meaning to me in 2024 than when it came out back in 1992.
In the sense that you identify more with the person described in the song, or that you identify more with the "holier than thou" kinda vibe of it?
So glad my dad has introduced me to all these amazing artists. The day i lose him will be a very sad one
E pure bellissimo
This brings me soooo back to when I was a little child. Thanks for posting! This song is a guarantee to make you smile.
I can't be indifferent. I love it.
this makes me very happy - thank you Bob and band such infectious joy
OMG, love this! Swear I will learn the steps before I die! Sir Bob, you are a true entertainer!
Happy birthday to an amazing man sir Bob geldof. Happy days n memories. What a legend..
Timeless masterpiece
I love You Bob❤️
Ricordo quando usci questo disco ,bellissimo e bei ricordi
THIS SONG IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!
Splendido brano! Claudio.
Fantastic how he slowly goes nuts over the course of the video...reminds me of my life
Your life has been 4 minutes and 18 seconds? You are definitely too young for this site!
Same though.

I don't know. Maybe there were problems with your birth? Maybe it's based on your genetics? Ask your doctor.
This is the World's Anthem after the Covid-19 lockdown!
Agreed

This is now my new song for life
Lo adoro
I am not one to cry still i cried at Bobs concerts i cried my eyes out. Silently
reminds me of the pub near Brixton prison All the irish and locals would jam ages 5 to 90 such music from the back of a hat.
LYRICS
I don't mind if you go
I don't mind if you take it slow
I don't mind if you say yes or no
I don't mind at all
I don't care if you live or die
Couldn't care less if you laugh or cry
I don't mind if you crash or fly
I don't mind at all
I don't mind if you come or go
I don't mind if you say no
Couldn't care less baby let it flow
'Cause I don't care at all
I don't care if you sink or swim
Lock me out or let me in
Where I'm going or where I've been
I don't mind at all
I don't mind if the government falls
Implements more futile laws
I don't care if the nation stalls
And I don't care at all
I don't care if they tear down trees
I don't feel the hotter breeze
Sink in dust in dying sees
And I don't care at all
I don't mind if culture crumbles
I don't mind if religion stumbles
I can't hear the speakers mumble
And I don't mind at all
I don't care if the Third World fries
It's hotter there I'm not surprised
Baby I can watch whole nations die
And I don't care at all
I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind
And I don't mind, I don't mind
And I don't mind at all
I don't mind about people's fears
Authority no longer hears
Send a social engineer
And I don't mind at all, o!
I don't mind at all, let's go!
I don't mind at all
Hi @bobgeldof

Great Irish Style, one of my favourite Song since many, many years. We are all Hibs...🏴🇨🇮🇳🇬💚🍀

@ kayakwest61: Yeah! In 91 I heard this song Iive from Bob and all the audience had a very big party :-)! I still have, when I hear this song

Questa canzone ....ogni volta si veste di colori diversi:il verde d'Irlanda ,il colore ambrato di un buon wiskey,la luce di mille sorrisi che si accendono,il calore di piedi che iniziano a muoversi ...il colore impalpabile di anime splendide che si muovono ❤️ mi accompagna da una vita e da una vita si rinnova con nuove immagini ❤️
Reminds me of the Hotel in Birmingham. Bob came down the stairs but threw a banger down the stairs first He said enter the Irish. The Albany hotel Bonfire night possible 1979
yes, a man who cares deeply ... understanding the expression of the unconscious ...
I don't mind the troubles
Great Bob and great song

Arguably Geldof's best song.
GRandissima canzone!

I love Bob's outfit...shirt and cravat. Suit....the works. Love this xx
Latvia band Bet Bet has an exceptionally good cover of this.
I love this song
I like him laughing at the end. It looks like he had great fun making this video !
I wouldn’t mind if he came and sang this live in Australia
Whenever the Scots are on the news going on about independence I find myself humming this song for some unknown reason......I don't mind if you say yes or no, I don't mind at all !
