The Boomtown Rats - Someone's Looking At You 

ブームタウンラッツのなかで一番💓♥️❤️な曲。 キーボードのジョニーさんが、日本に移住され、清志郎さんや、チャーさんと仕事されていたとは、最近しりました。

Fantastic stuff. (I suspect like others) I'd forgotten just how good they were. I saw them in '84 at college. Not a big gig at all but they were awesome. 6 months later Mr G was doing bandaid and the rest (as they say) is history...

Bob Geldof looks so young in this - where do the years go!!!!

Ha Ha Classic Countdown. Love those Rats. Saw them in Melbourne Australia in 1979. Sir Bob was a wild man that Night. Great Band

I live in melbourne and remember countdown well thankyou

I was at this taping. I was nearly 11 (!) scary how young their audience was. I remember how exciting it was writing in for tickets and receiving them in the post. Was the best thing about being in Melbourne for those two years while I was growing up.

This is such a fantastic song, I love it more now than I did way back in 1979, because as you get older, you appreciate great music more. We were spoiled for great music at one time; now its all shit.

All those shows (Top of the Pops, Countdown, etc.) were lip-synced, but the Rats mostly didn't even pretend to be really playing (watch the drummer in this one!). There's a pretty funny video of them doing Rat Trap on (I believe) TOTP where Geldof does the sax part by blowing into a candelabra. One of the reasons I loved this band is because they never took themselves too seriously.

Love the Lime colored outfit on Bob Geldof!

you know..I get this strange feeling that they MIGHT not be playing live ;D you gotta give it to Geldof for putting on a show

My Fave Boomtown Rats song. Sadly the meaning is completely lost on the young audience. Hey Bob.. If you ever read this.. You can come back to Peterborough now.. They pulled the pea factory down and my bro's forgiven you for the go-cart !! hehe

I don't think so. Song is too great to be on the charts nowadays.

reminds me of my rebelious teens oh happy days no worries no debt just beer women and the rats

when Bob was coolest - great track !

bring back the rats great time great songs and the 80s image how cool

dude i never hear of this band till i saw a 5$ dvd of them in a box. worth looking up :P

God...you can tell they have been listening to Razorlight. The singer is copying Johnny Borrell's whole act...shameless!!!!

Booomtown rats = me hago el punk ahora ke esta de moda (1978) y despues sigo con el pop ochentoso horrible para seguir currando, puaj!!

All the early stuff were good, then later on Banana republic and one of their best Diamond smiles.

All Hail St.Bob and the Rats. Quality

whats with B.G.s OUTFIT was it "dress like Dr.Who" day ?? I love the BTR's they are me favourite band

its delibirate. lots of bands rebeld to the fact that they had to lip sync on certain shows..so they had fun with it...made it look crap delibiratly.

Brilliant song....my band "Loutish Lover" are supporting The Boomtown Rats at The Robin2 in Bilston, West Midlands on Wednesday 6th August.

Hope they do it tonight in Boston.

Yup, this is good, very good indeed. They were a big band but they should have been huge.

Rock and Roll Baby

Actually, it's "stop wispering" not listening

I like Bob's Porkpie Stetson.....wellard!!

@CyareMordmin It was supposed to be a measured piece of sardonicity based on the fact that I, myself, think that Johnny Borrell is a third-rate Bob Geldof...in his vocal style and his delivery. xx

looks like Neymar become a vocalist first before he becomes a superstar player football 😂

Whats to say, just sit back and enjoy!

Just Recently Saw this Episode of Countdown! Geldof was hosting with Molly

Great lyrics. Still "relevant"....

i love how the lead singer spins the mic round just 2 show every 1 that it wasnt live. =}

Brilliant #savethewhales #stoptaiji

I did suggest it to my local branch of NO2ID!

saw them before they got well know at the NASHVILLE in Lillie road in London back in the 80's...

it makes me nervous...those things you say

good reply!!! I don't know what these pepole liste to... hahahahaha!

Geldofff a very underrated performer . The Rats were fab and played great music !

I used to have this single back in the day, February 1980...

@noshouldersnohead this art of surfacing is all but dead.

Geldof predicted the NSA shits.

@exproggo You be trollin!

Sounds like The Move.

A great band - and Bob Geldof is a late BEATNIK,,,

@ralucagymnast I would say from the end of the 90's until now, most music which is produced now is shite; I despise all this "X-Factor" manufactured rubbish which is so popular nowadays; its utterly abhorrent. Money, and the lust for it, has killed music, the same way as its killed the passion in football: its all about how much you've got now, so sad:(

Stop smoking the drapes.

This is an amazing song! The man can't dance, but today all the singer's dance and the music sux! I wish there was music like this out today....but I guess that whole period has come and gone!
