This is one of the reasons I get upset when people cheer and applaud when they pause the song during live performances. The song has somewhat become removed from its original meaning.
@robertmcghintheorca49 You're right about that Robert, people already have forgotten the context and horrible circumstances which the song was written about. 💯✅️🤯
I only recently found out it was about Brenda!! I've always rocked to this song.. still love it even with the dark meaning behind it!
Crazy huh? I remember hearing why this was penned. Sad.
it's the theme alone that makes the song all the more potent and GREAT
In my opinion, it's one of the best pop songs ever made.
I agree.
I find it refreshing, to see real banter among friends. Love the song
When they sang it at live aid, you could tell the passion that he had for the story, especially at the end when he yelled. Gave me goosebumps
He made that pretentious pause because he spitefully wanted Adam Ant restricted to as little time as possible.
@@wotdoesthisbuttondo You cannot be serious. Evidence for this claim?
The performance of it at Live Aid is astonishing. Incredibly powerful. The subject matter is shocking as is the letter Geldof received which he refers to in this interview. Awful. At Live Aid, the lyric and pause took on a whole new meaning in the context of the reason for the concert, famine relief. To this day, Live Aid is remarkable. The DVD is like a time capsule of great music and thrilling memories from so many great performances at Wembley and in Philadelphia. It will never be repeated.
@@eightiesmusic1984 Nah, people hated Live Aid once it was clearly leftist propaganda.
The World Health Organisation was the greatest beneficiary and no one trusts them either.
First off. Bob Geldof didn't make her famous.. she did that all herself. The other point is that this song is timeless. Unfortunately. I mean, decades into the future we had more school shootings.. but the song itself really captures the angst of I think everyone, especially now.. how fucked up our society is, how depressed folks are.. how Mondays DO suck.. how work SUCKS how school SUCKS.. it all SUCKS and while most of us won't murder innocent folks.. we need to start addressing the mental health issues in our society cause we are doing something majorly wrong.
❤
I love Bob! I hope he is well.
The piano on this is rather tasty.
Yeah, I think it really makes the song and actually gives it a kind of symphonic feel (tied with the strings of course!) Anyone know who the piano player was?
@@BadWebDiver The arrangement is the best part of this song. The true story the song is based on is pretty sad. I was in high school in 1979 when it happened.
BadWebDiver I’m a bit late but the piano player is johnnie fingers!! a stage name haha, he’s now a music producer in japan
Not written by the fake musician Geldof. Words by the journalist Geldof. No one would know who he was if he didn't ruin Jewish Ethiopia by teaching the nation to rely on on aid. Research the damage if you are sceptic. Mr Paula Yates
Peaches Geldof died on a Monday :(
Beautiful song, cried to it at school once. Good times
What a great song this is!
Karma
@@ryanph8te367 To be fair she did Heroin and you do not f with Heroin. Even I refuse to take it. LSD or Acid or Coke I'll drop but horse is too far.
@@HolyGoddessMotherAnne I think she and her mother were murdered actually because of their knowledge of establishment paedophile ring(s)
Was at the school when it happened and I used to hate this song growing up. What is odd is as a teen I then watched the wall and loved this persons acting. Never connected the two until much later.
The Boomtown Rats & Pink Floyd are 2 different bands.
@@1thesquid278
Bob played Pink in The Wall. That's the connection.
Agreed, Bob Geldof played Pink in Pink Floyd's/ Roger Waters The Wall... It was a thing back then bc they wanted Bob to shave his head, who refused to... the late 70s/ early 80s was a really strange time coming into your own
in 1979 this was a dark conversation. In 2020 it's casual talk.
Well said Sir. Nowadays, it's like talking about the weather. 💔
Bob Geldof is one very intelligent man.Still handsome into the bargain.☘️
Glad to hear the story from the source.
It's a really sad reflection of society that not only is this song now much more well known than the mass shooting itself, but most people tend to not realise what this song is even really about.
A dark true story
How can anyone not know what the songs about? Even if you don't know which specific shooting.... you get the scenario in the lyrics!
Ok smart guy, as you say 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Sir Bob is one of the greatest, flawed , kind people ever. How many lives did this man save?
He is wonderful. Flawed, but wonderful.
See my latest pinned interview w/ Bob four months After LIVE AID '85, really good stuff!
no one is without flaws. this is a fundamental problem with society, this idea that you are either good or bad. bad people can do bad things for 50 years then turn good, what are they?
One of my favorite songs of all time. The piano in the beginning and in the song makes the song.
can somebody tell me where does this mans talent is
Absolutely! The arrangement gives the song it's epic quality.
on the dry I can does tell where that he is talent. In his head.
1:37 Oh, i love his smile. Nice guy Bob.
I thought everyone knew this….Brenda Ann Spencer. When asked why she was shooting that school she said “I don’t like Mondays”
Yep, and that's exactly why she's been dened parole every single time she's been up. She has no remorse.
The media wasn't the same back before the internet.
I saw them,The Boom town rats play this live at the Portsmouth Guildhall on a Monday when this was No 1 in the UK charts,Was and still to this day my most memorable gig I've ever been to.
That's the saddest thing I've read since last time I read Anthony Kiedis was still alive.
@@horaceosirian8993🤪🤪
Mondays aren't so bad it's your job that sucks
Good call.
its the some of the people you work with too
@Tannish Brown How about Brenda Spencer killing her schoolmates and teacher, and being famous because of this song? Did that justify why Mondays suck?
Tannish Brown attempting to kill children and actually killing two adults because you don’t like money’s and you wanted to make it more “entertaining” does not justify anything!! This is no excuse that justifies taking a person’s life. I don’t care how many years ago it was, it’s not a joke. School shooting and people dying is no fucking joke
Brian Oliver i work in a psych ward. The patients are fine. My co-workers are really messed up. Passive aggressive , habitual complainers, negative types
The piano on this is rather tasty.
That school has been torn down in 2017.
he’s a sassy but wise Irish man. I love it
You could make the point without the piano it would be nowhere near as effective. That intro is iconic
Beautiful song, cried to it at school once. Good times
Bob Geldof singing melodramatic backing vocals to some squeaky brat's spontaneous caterwauling at school would be enough to make me curse Mondays for a month of fuckin' Sundays.
This song's so intolerably fucking bad I forced myself to love Mondays just to spite it, and trust me, *_loving Mondays is nigh on impossible._*
Glad to hear the story from the source.
Bob Geldof is one very intelligent man.Still handsome into the bargain.☘️
What a great song this is!
I remember the event
and i know the background of the song
but i still play this on Monday because Monday.
Truly amazing song it's a shame that most people don't actually listen to the lyrics
Had no clue that's what the song is about. But apparently the girl who committed the first ever school shooting in America was a scumbag. A coward too. She targeted younger children from the safety of her room and never stepped foot on school grounds that day. Turns out her dad is a scumbag too. Threatening to sue them over the song. He should be grateful that piss poor parenting isn't a criminal offense. He'd be rotting next to his good-for-nothing daughter in prison for the rest of his life, if it was.
TELL ME WHY!!!
Actually, there are two separate films - "Village of the Damned", based on John Wyndham's story "The Midwich Cuckoos" and a sequel, "Children of the Damned", so they are talking about two different films without realising it.
who cares?
+Suilven Mountain hahaha
boy that's what you got out of it?? lol but interesting facts thanks
Good point James! I was thinking the same thing as I watched it.
I'm sure they are both aware that there was the original movie and then the sequel.
I remember that morning that this all happened and when the song came out, I remember thinking that they did a nice telling of the story of a troubled girl, who made it clear that she didn't have all of her Barbie's lined up in a row. To be honest, I can't remember her name without Goggling the event.
Brenda Ann Spencer
Or exactly where and when it happened
@@_i_am_unceded is she alive or dead?
@@markpetersen8135 she's alive and in prison.
1:37 Oh, i love his smile. Nice guy Bob.
he’s a sassy but wise Irish man. I love it
The piano on this is rather tasty.
Wow…….knowing truth about it why it was written …..enjoyed interview. Song touches me…..🎶
I remember the event exactly ( I lived in Michigan at the time ). The lyrics are spot on, so far as I'm concerned!!!
A very thought provoking song.
RIP to the victims of all school shootings ❤
1.30 and they still tease each other....
Buddies forever ❤
What a great song this is!
Glad to hear the story from the source.
great Song....Thank you for explaining what this Song is all about...
No probs, glad we could bring you up to speed with the 1970s. Tomorrow we'll cover potty training.
he’s a sassy but wise Irish man. I love it
Thank you for sharing...
Thanks for watching! 👀👍
I have other videos of Bob on my channel, which include interviews by Molly Meldrum just after he did the "LIVE AID" 85 concerts, which are very interesting as well. Cheers ✅️
I watched and listened as Bob and Johnny wrote and worked on the song at a sound check at Alumnae hall at Brown University.
Always liked that song. Didn't realize what it was about till a few years ago. Makes it even better coz it brings to light not only what happened but the hard reality of modern life.
That aside, does Galdof in the song film clip remind anyone else of a more intense, serious Jerry Seinfeld?
I knew the first time I heard it and it's still one of my top ten favorite songs.
The song is great ..... Musicly speaking ..... It is part of our history ...... It's too bad that the song went on to top the names of all those dead kids .......
No kids died that day. However, the Principal and custodian did.
Bob Geldof is one very intelligent man.Still handsome into the bargain.☘️
I never really noticed his Irish accent till now! :)
I not know what he say but I can imagine he based in a beatiful story
Someone's probably already covered this but I didn't hear Mssr. Geldof mention that "I don't like Mondays" was what the girl said after being asked why she'd done it.
That's on the public record. Heck, even Wikipedia mentions it!
Great song and I love Mondays and Tuesdays, Wednesday is great and Thursday I chuckle because Friday is dress down day, Saturday and Sunday are top secret. Hahaha.
omg imagine Brenda Spencer saying that to Geldof having to live with that like he said
Just crazy stuff indeed!
So very sad but still relevant today in So Many Ways please stop the killing of our children
I heard this song first when it was on a House episode with Dave Matthews
Geldof has always been a revolutionary 👊
@@Helio144 💯% agreed.✅️
One of the best songs of all time
I never knew about the story behind the song until a few years ago. Of course, it changed the whole way I thought about it.
I used to song this out loud on mondays in the 80's. Till i heard whats it all about. Still like the song.
🙋🏻♂️ hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Can we just admire Bob's beautiful face. He is still handsome *.*
.
iamjeona Duuude chill out !! XD At first it was all GNR from the picture to the name everything was GNR then I changed it to Kurt's picture but the name was still the same.I am not going to change my name evrytime I change my picture DUH !!
iamjeona OMG it's obvious from your answer that you're not chilled, you just asked me a question and I answered and I wanted it to be clear that's all. If you find my photo fucked up then you just hate Kurt Cobain. And if you find my name fucked up then it's your opinion and I respect it but I think my name is kinda awesome :D Peace. Adios.
I don't care about the feelings they had for each other. I just like them both.
Axl Saul Rose Slash yeah he's pretty sweet
"You lying...SCUMBAG" hah :P
Fun fact about Bob Geldof He was in Pink Floyd the Wall starring as Pink
+Mellissa Cross she doesn't mean to be rude... but her eye rolls should give you a clue how sarcastic her comment is. ;-) (mine as well)
No shit.
Saya dari Indonesia kagum banget pada Bob geldof dengan lagu nya i Dont like monday lagu sepanjang masa hingga kini lagu itu masih.jadi favorit ...Bob geldob muda sangat.tampan ...
My dad threw Johnny Fingers out of our pub because he was wearing pajamas. pjs in the pub! That's a no no!
I used to love this song until we moved to Southern California & I saw a long documentary focusing, not only on that awful morning but on the people I believed "pushed" Brenda Spencer to do what she did. have written a rather longer comment than intended on the "Boomtown Rats VEVO" presentation regarding the events leading up to & included in the song. Brenda Spencer, 16, took the rifle that her father had bought her, & started shooting randomly across the road into the schoolyard of Grover Cleveland Elementary, mowing down the head teacher, the school custodian (caretaker) & wounding eight of the children playing just before school began. Brenda is a softly-spoken woman with long, "red" hair & large glasses. She said that she didn't hate Mondays more than any other day. However, when the police walked her through the crowds of reporters, they were yelling the usual stupid questions, the main one being, "Why did you do it?" She hung her head & quietly replied, "I don't like Mondays". By the time the, rather long, documentary had ended, I actually didn't hate Brenda but felt a little sorry for her (once I'd weighed up what each of her parents said what they did). Divorced at the time of the shootings, Brenda's father bought the rifle Brenda used as a gift for her!!! Brenda had been sent to live with her mother who saw her as, too much bother & sent her to live with her father whom she already believed was sexually abusing her......... This girl in her mid-teens & bullied at school & allegedly raped day & night in what should have been a safe haven for her - home! She had been a sweet child but was tortured, both mentally & physically, from the time she went to school, well into the night. I watched two of her parole hearings & she is deeply remorseful but I don't think she'll ever see freedom. I knew Brenda pulled the trigger, but her father's money & the torment he allegedly enforced upon her warped her mind, as, I'm sure did the idea that, even though her mother knew about it all - She didn't care about her either!!
Brendas story doesnt ad up but it does show the system is messed up, look how many shootings since then, school is being institutionalized, its not much different from prison, yes u go home after 8 hours but you r forced to sit and get your head filled with lies. Brenda saying she hates Mondays makes perfect sense, its 5 more days of bullshit and with bad parents its the begining of 7 more days. I enjoy life but i remember being a kid and it was awful looking back on it.
@@nobodysreview6137 I think almost anyone, except a few, had horrible experiences. Some, including myself, who loathed Mondays & the rest of the week. I never understand people who say they wish that they could have their schooldays/youth over again. Personally, l think they're either deluded or need a psyche. evaluation & I don't say that glibly!! However, take someone like Brenda, living between two homes but mostly in one where, even her mother alludes to the notion that her own father was sexually abusing her & no friends to speak of. Brenda Spencer was a powder keg already. Said father then buys Brenda a .22 calibre semi-automatic with a scope. On the same morning S.D.P.D. say she had also consumed drugs & alcohol. You mentioned the further school shootings. I grew up in a European country where your life, from the day you were born on up, could be the day you are shot or blown to death by a bomb, at any time. In fact, I lost most of my hearing to an explosion when shopping with my mother on a Saturday afternoon, aged four. A lot of us have had reasons to go crazy but didn't. I've thought a lot about the never-ending argument, is it accessibility to guns or the people who are to blame? I noticed that as time has gone on these disasters have increased. Why? Accessibility to weapons is one to ponder. However, I have "grown" with computers. From the days when only four huge machines could be fitted along a wall & the most exciting thing we could do was write binary programs until today when you can "shoot" any number of players & everyone walks away - alive! Even watching my own mother refusing to become unattached from her mobile (never mind the ever-maligned teenagers). I believe three things are possibly responsible for continued & ever-increasing shootings, etc. Legality of weaponry for civilians, ever-increasing divorce rate (I couldn't imagine being pulled apart by the people who brought me into the world) & "distancing" brought about by computer programs who turn death into a game from which everyone comes away laughing & more & more time spent away from human contact on computers. Sorry for the long comment but I didn't want to give you a glib answer & have put a lot of thought into the answer I've given.
You can be upset and depressed and angry about your family, but everyone has a conscience. Once you become a shooter, that's it. It's over. Uncrossable line.
I dont know what 2 believe, they all have a different story.
If only the average person would look into shootings as deep as you did. People are quick to pin it all on guns and say "normal citizens shouldn't be able to have this", but they ignore the majority of gun owners who have a strong moral conscience. It's the person behind the barrel of the gun to blame and you have to look at all the things that influenced them up to the point of pulling the trigger - normal people do not pull triggers while pointing barrels at school children. It'll be a dysfunctional/abusive family, constant bullying or a feeling an exclusion from society.
great Song....Thank you for explaining what this Song is all about...
Brenda I don't like Mondays either
I don't know much about Bob Gelfof other than his song, 'I don't like Mondays' but I keep reading negative comments about him. Someone please explain?
always loved this song, still do. Never knew the story until tonight.......so sad, its also why we should never memorialize any of these crimes, no films , no books, no songs, no lifetime hallmark moment shows/films..give them NO celebrity
Agreed, from Columbine to Sept. 11, 2001 and MANY others, these "events" should be forgotten asap, scrubbed from history and never spoken of again or memorialized in the main stream media.
@@JamesDeWeaver i hope you are being facetious?
john banks so do i and i only found out today what the song was about
No, we need markers in history. As to learn from our mistakes.
It's the second part that we cannot get.
I remember reading about the shooting around the time I don't like mondays came out, as my dad had a crime magasine.
I remember wanting to die from boredom approximately two to three words into your mystifyingly inane weaponized fucking turbo-blather.
Love, Mum xx
PS: You killed your father, you know (just sayin' ;)
Brenda I don't like Mondays either
That school has been torn down in 2017.
Bob Geldof is one very intelligent man.Still handsome into the bargain.☘️
❤❤❤
"Children of the Damned" is the sequel to "Village"
I know the story since the song was aired the first time. The dj was so good to tell about it.
AM radio DJ blathered pointless facts I heard back in my time, Volume Nobody Gives the Tiniest Fraction of Two Metric Shits, now *_FUCK OFF._*
That school has been torn down in 2017.
I have always loved this song I had always thought it was about a greaving father who didn't like mondays because he lost his child to a shooting on a monday i was surprised to find out i was part right and part wrong
At my early years towards caring, this was eyeopener.
He is a lovely talented man in many ways but most of all a descent human being who is an absolute wonderful father and caring humanitarian.
...is that why his wife killed herself ?
...is that why his daughter killed herself ?
...line up..line up ...who is next !
supersesqui...and the lead singer of INXS...
I can't even believe Peaches dies & Geldof decides aw, enough of this gloom let's get married...WTF?! religion hid pedophilia for decades...now it's the cloak of celebrity under which they crawl.
marybeth hamblen
Be careful Marybeth, you are beginning to sound as though you have a brain and are NOT bedazzled by these talentless, useless, drug addled, feckless, fecund, ferals !
People wont like you for it, beware !...lol
marybeth hamblen
Bob Geldoff said he learned how to perform self felatio from Gary Glitter.
supersesqui so
Great song
It's an American tragedy that we can't solve this problem.
Love BoomTown Rats.
I guess I’m sick because I love this song but it really is the piano that give me the feels. Even with the subject being so dark. I also don’t like Monday’s
Brenda I don't like Mondays either
Amy McCabe 👀
Thanks for this post. I really don't know why I got into this. I live in a country where we have not had a mass shooting or school shooting. I grew up in a country that has perfected mass shootings and school shootings. Then I saw people mocking the song. What the what? Maybe people are so desensitized that mass shootings and school shootings are nothing.
Wow, the fact that she wrote to Bob for making her famous. What a horrible thing.
I bet he never sent the royalties from the record to the primary school though. Just building up your bank account from murder and misery. 😢😢😢
Yes, it is a good song and I do like it. But, honestly, why would you see an event like this and make it a song with knowing that. I really don't understand. Is it because he wanted to shed light on it? It's quite a touchy subject.
Would you happen to have the full interview regarding all of the rats music videos. It is so good. I recall seeing it many years ago wishing I would of been able to record it. Thx for sharing. I am truly grateful.
I don't have and haven't seen the full interview you mentioned, sorry. 🤔✌️
@@JamesDeWeaver thx yes there is a 30-40min show about this. Its really good. If I run across it I will send you a link 😉 i appreciate this
@CCsDomain That would be awesome. I would love to see it. Cheers ✅️
I know a few bands who have been writing songs about me and when I ask about the original meanings they always deny it. Duran Duran and Madonna All About Eve and a few smaller bands Ive caught out
I Want
BOB is still Hot even at this age.
People who don't know the story I figure were just not old enough to remember it.
Kate Chan I’m not Old enough to remember it, thanks to a show called deadly women I know of this story.
Were just not old enough or are just not...oh fucking forget it.
PS: Shut up.
Kate Chan I’m 23 (born 1996) and I know the story quite well. I look into a lot of the worlds history (no matter the year). I used to sit downstairs and listen to 60,70s etc... almost everyday (Before he moved out) and he explained the story behind this song. I was 18 when I was told the story. I swear I just remember thinking about how sexy Bob was 😍then dad told me about the tragedy of it all 😞
Hopefully he shared that letter with the parole board she should never get out
Ironic, the music video sucks, but the song is an everlasting classic.
The music video is certainly unique though, it's SO of that early era in music videos ! 👍💯
Brenda I don't like Mondays either
Bob Geldof is one very intelligent man.Still handsome into the bargain.☘️
Am learning it the into is easy all the black notes you could play it with an oven glove on after that it gets harder but it's not beyond me.great single
👍💯
Perhaps he should have written it in sympathy for the kids who were injured? "I don't like Mondays" was an outrageous statement for the act. The poor kids suffering gunshot wounds because you (the murderer) don't like Mondays? F..ing Wack job!
So sad that Geldof was right to bring this to light and was ignored - these shootings are now commonplace - He was was castigated for bringing this to light at that time and this country >30 years later cannot figure out how to stop this type of senseless violence...
So he cynically and callously cashed in on a tragedy to make money. Writing a song about a mass murder is not going to solve the problem.
@@Anon54387 so, therefore, no one should write songs about tragedies? How callous of Crosby, stills Nash and young for the Kent state massacre, or Gordon lightfoot for the Edmund Fitzgerald - that is ridiculous
Shes glad she has done it??? Absolutely disgusting
This song was not played at all by radio stations in San Diego California out of respect for the victims of Brenda Spencer's school shooting
This is Saint Bob who organized Live Aid.
Like Holland some things have to be damned to be saved.
i fucking love Village of the Damned.
Cleveland Elementary, San Carlos, San Diego County, California,USA
Children of the Damned is a song by Iron Maiden, maybe he's getting the title confused with that.
It's a Movie
@@James.G.Ireland The movie was called Village of the Damned, perhaps you might be right about there being another movie called Children of the Damned.
If he wants the whole video they say he got the title wrong
So she wrote him a letter but tried to appeal her sentence years later as if she didn't know what she doing at the time. And as said she couldn't remember murdering people. I'm watching the documentary I Don't Like Mondays. She was/is a cold hearted killer.
Bob the "Humanitarian" made a hell of a lot of money from that shooting.
And everything else he has done in his life. IMHO. Self serving horrible man.
Darryl Dearing fair enough. Everyone's entitled to their opinions and they don't have to like Bob Geldof. But I would just say, the next time you have raised $165 million for poverty, come tell us about it, we would love to hear it.
How can I find this entire episode? If anyone knows I would be grateful. Thx
