Teenage Kicks
The Undertones were from Derry, Northern Ireland. "Teenage Kicks" was released in 1978 and the legendary John Peel played the song twice in a row on his Radio 1 program. Peel awarded it 28 stars on a five star scale and in a 2001 article for The Guardian said that it reduced him to tears every time he heard it. Is it any wonder? Watch all three of these vid's and see if you don't want to hear it again in ten minutes.
I need excitement and I need it bad.
Top of the Pops!
Peel said more than once that he wanted the words "Teenage dreams, so hard to beat" written on his headstone. Four years after his death his wish was fulfilled.
