BOB GELDOF and THE BOOMTOWN RATS-I dont like Mondays



Uploaded by: rhoda0103
Video Description:
Geldof was born Robert Frederick Zenon Geldof in D
ún Laoghaire, County Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, to parents of Catholic extraction. He attended Blackrock College, near Dublin, a school whose staunch Catholic nationalist ethos he disliked. After work as a slaughterman, road navvy and pea canner, he started as a music journalist in Vancouv
er, British Columbia, Canada, for the weekly publication Georgia Straight. Upon returning to Ireland in 1975, he became the lead singer of the band The Boomtown Rats, a rock group closely linked with the punk movement.In 1978, The Boomtown Rats had their first No. 1 single in the UK with "Rat Trap",
which was the first New Wave chart-topper in that country. In 1979, the group shot to international fame with their second UK No. 1, "I Don't Like Mondays".[2] This was equally successful, as well as controversial; Geldof wrote it in the aftermath of Brenda Ann Spencer's attempted massacre at an el
ementary school across the street from her house in San Diego, California, at the beginning of 1979.

I like this song ... ( 5 months ago by DukeStarbuckle)
I like this song because it reminds me of the eighties. But Geldof is living proof that you don't have to sing well to be a famous "musician". On another video with David Gilmour, Geldof butchered a Pink Floyd tune and actually had to have a lyric sheet to "sing" it. I think he was faking. He was in their movie and must have heard the song more times than most of us have. I've got a feeling he's just jealous of Floyd's success. Pathetic.
