@@christopherwright2576 Your underrated comment is massively overused & in this case , completely inaccurate. They were very successful , those who knew , knew. They never aimed for the masses or desired mainstream attention. So like I said originally , get over yourself
As a 13/14 year old my attention always swayed towards Den Hegerty but now I realise what a fantastic group these were . The vocals/ harmonies were spot on , a great sound then and to this day . They were up against the start of the punk era and all the misery that went with it but have stood the test of time as quality always does. ❤️
Always been and always have been the greatest band the world has ever heard, still love them after all those years and iam 53 now ,Darts were brilliant wish they would reform and bring back real music because darts were the real music back in my day and they will never be forgotten .!!!
Yeah, I'm 50 mate. as 7-8 year old I wasn't much into pop... The only exception was Darts. Whenever they were on TV it was like a treat, I loved them and still do.
My favourite song of all time. Makes the hairs go up on my arms every time I hear it. Bob Fish's vocal are to die for and the harmony in the background is wonderful. If you've never tried to sing harmony you just can't appreciate how good these guys were. So so talented.
I was thirteen when this song was played on Top of the Pops. Must have watched it as everyone did in them days. Now thinking of my beloved Mum who passed away in March. God bless you Mum.
I remember having a 'crush' on her back in 1978 when I was 13 ( while every other boy my age was in love with Debbie Harry!). Forty six years later I still say she was one of the most beautiful women in music at that time and posessed one of the greatest singing voices. 'The Boy From New York City' remains one of my favourite songs.
Came on the scene at the height of punk, the Darts were and still are an explosive talent. Even a schoolmate punk fanatic I knew was really into the Darts. They played the Wolverhampton Civic Hall and blew everyone away. The Darts deserved to have been much bigger, perhaps my only regret is they didn't release more of their own material. This track is an exception which proves the talent was certainly there. And RIP Bob Fish the gent who did lead vocals and wrote this fantastic number.
They are playing the Brudenell in Leeds, 15th November 2024. They are on facebook and post gigs there. They dont play very often as they all have commitments elsewhere, took me a long time to finaly see them, but wow! it was worth the effort!@@mcmach1
Grew up on the sound of darts,member of their fan club,and so fortunate to have seen them live in the Den Hegarty days,and saw the reunion at the 100 club,sounds that will be appreciated forever
The late (Robert) Bob Fish was a great vocalist; this song is an undeniable example. From the day I first heard it in 1978, It remained an absolute favorite.
Just turned 60 and this song just shakes me to the bone, absolutely stunning. Like so many have said you don’t always appreciate it at the time… I do now
I adore them. Always have.. I was 9-10 yrs and my Xmas pressie was a signed album. !!! I was do v happy and excited. My dad Tim gave that to me as he knew them Love them still xx
Oh how I love this Song! It was almost foegotten but then I came to listen to it on New Years Eve and all my memories teturned! I love Bob Fish's and Dan Heggerty's voices!!! X
Brilliant band. Great sounds.. always thought when Den Hegerty left they lost a real character. But they came back with 2/3 more generations of the band and they all sounded like Darts. 👍
They were great, brilliant singers and musicians I watched a documentary on them worked really hard touring and earning little money as many of them. Always on TOTP. 'Come back my love' was my first single I liked.
I was born in the 70s, this was a great example of some of the music I was brought up on in the early 80s, brings back memories of car journeys and days out. Miss them days.
Darts were the 2nd band I ever saw at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh........... Excellent Gig! Everyone dancing in the aisles from the moment they sang the first note.
So good to hear this tight vocal group sing, and they obviously enjoy what they do. It's all gangster rap songs these days, we could do with a Darts resurgance.
This band is SERIOUSLY BRILLIANT.THE WORLD MISSES THIS BRILLIANCE BADLY.
They don't just sing ,they put on the most amazing character of uniqueness on the planet.
What is not to like about this fantastic song? It'll remain as fresh as the day it was recorded, forever.
And the B side Messing Shoes Blues?
My mum disapproved when I bought the single in 78!
A fantastic band and fantastic singer
Fantastic song love 😍 it 💜💜💜
Released 46 years ago and still sounds fantastic in 2024.
A very underrated band from the 70's. I loved em, still do. ❤
These timeless songs live FOREVER.WHAT A BAND.
Fantastic sound...Darts were so underrated...so talented....Great memories from when music was cool.....Wish I could go back to those times.
Close your eyes Molly and your there😊
Agreed. This is a much under-rated and these days neglected song. I've loved this song for 40 years now.
Molly Hatchet Yes, great music and musicians.
One of best bands around at the time. Saw them in concert at the Empire in Liverpool - didn't disappoint from what I can remember.
A very talented band of great singers and musicians Loved em 🙏
Rip Bob Fish - A truly great voice. Sad loss for a fantastic, underrated band.
My favourite song , never get tired hearing his voice.xx
Stop with the underrated nonsense ffs.
They were huge at the time , get over yourself
Peter, I loved the Darts . Your comment was rather juvenile, they should have enjoyed greater success for their talent.

I'll say
Brilliant song it was kept off the number 1 spot by your the one that I want,from grease.
Gosh we didn’t appreciate just how good they were.
True Statement 💯
My fav. I miss my mam 😢 i love you xx
Makes me feel sad where has time gone. Loved Darrs
One of the most vocally talented groups ever. Bob Fish is fantastic on this one.
So many great memories of late 70's/early 80', best years of my life, so lucky to have been a part of it !
What a tune. What a band. Vastly underrated.
Underrated by those only who had no clue about fantastic music.
I love this record it’s a masterpiece of melodic synchronisation
Your words are poetry

Seen him a few times in my local town. Still recognisable.
Brilliant ....who's listening in 2024?
I am , my parents got this on single back in 78 , love the tune , I was 9
Me loved these since I was a kid and I'm 60 now
Me, I loved these since I was a kid and I'm 60 now
Fantastic tune. Takes me back to my happy carefree days back in 1978.. My military days when life was much more easier ❤
Me
Such a great song - and band - full of characters.
👍👌🤘
And talent 👍
And they are funny too. What a joy to listen and watch them!!
Why don't they play this on the radio, instead of the same oldies again and again.
Played on greatest hits on Saturday, why I'm listening now. Great song
One of the greatest...underated bands❤
This song still gives me shivers the same as it did more than 40 years ago. Such an underrated band
Geweldige muziek the darts

Well said mate

I believe Darts are appearing at a 70s weeekend at Butlins Bognor in September, not sure how many original members though!
Yeah, I'm 50 mate.
as 7-8 year old I wasn't much into pop... The only exception was Darts.
Whenever they were on TV it was like a treat, I loved them and still do.
Alas Bob Fish lead vocalist on this track passed away a few days ago. RIP Bob thankyou for making my younger years so memorable with some great songs👍
My Fave Darts Song 💜😊

Hi Rachel I totally agree what a great song my fave of all time pure class Gerry
I can sing, but I can't harmonise with others, it's actually really difficult

Griff wrote this one but yeah Bob Fish what a talent and what a band !
Yes, i was there at Wolverhampton Civic, can't remember whether it was 78 or 79
The 70’s had some of the best music ever, remember this being played in discos I used to frequent as a teenager in the late 70’s. RIP Bob Fish.
Saw them tonight - utterly brilliant! What a gig! See them if you possibly can!!
How?
im trying to see them and hoping to this year i loved this band back in the day .

Absolutely brilliant band lads ,thanks for the memories love you all 👍
Beautiful song, beautifully delivered by a fantastic and much loved band.
Still appreciate the love I had as a wee kid for this amazing group x
Darts, Showaddywaddy, Mud. So glad I was there👍

Toppop was a dutch tv show back in those days for us, youngsters. Now I am 59 and this performance is still impressive
Grew up on the sound of darts,member of their fan club,and so fortunate to have seen them live in the Den Hegarty days,and saw the reunion at the 100 club,sounds that will be appreciated forever
God that band could sing ❤
The late (Robert) Bob Fish was a great vocalist; this song is an undeniable example.
From the day I first heard it in 1978, It remained an absolute favorite.
I had forgotten how many hits this band had and how good they were, fantastic memories.
How lucky were we, from the 60,’s full of Soul to the 70’s full of real tunes, I was born at the right time!
Darts where a great band.. I used to listen to their greatest hits album over and over when I was a young lad. Great memories
Great music great memories loved darts RIP Bob fish , and the beautiful Debbie Harry and Agnetha Faltskog 2 stunning ladies
Den Hegarty, great suit, great Doo Wop Voice, great moves and facial expressions.
Just turned 60 and this song just shakes me to the bone, absolutely stunning. Like so many have said you don’t always appreciate it at the time… I do now
My favourite Darts tune - R.I.P Bob Fish

Me too! x

Fantastic Rock and Doo-wop group. Impeccable voice by the sadly gone but unforgettable Bob Fish.
If these were a 50s band they would of been massive, fantastic song👌
Loved this first time around love it now
I saw these at the Hammersmith Odeon, London, UK 24 Oct 1979. BRILLIANT.
RIP…. BOB FISH ..you will be sadly missed 😢😢😢
Wish the music of that era would return
Just Class
Gathered to be a tough guy in those days but this song surely tore the tears out of my eyes..priceless. rock on..
Still listening to this.. tremendous. Words are so important.. fantastic

So good to hear this tight vocal group sing, and they obviously enjoy what they do. It's all gangster rap songs these days, we could do with a Darts resurgance.
