One of the most underrated bands of all time.

[@tomshaw6373]

Pat Dinizio was a brilliant songwriter. May he rest in peace.

[@pamwelch7228]

Hey Tommy Shaw 😆 great running into you on here

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

It's criminal that these guys weren't more successful. So many great songs, they should have been huge.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

No need for butt-hurt. They were big. Maybe not huge enough for you, but keep in mind, there was a LOT of competition at that time.

[@TheJohnnyCotts]

@@ronaldgarrison8478 They were far from "big". Outside of the NY/NJ area, they were pretty much regarded as a one-hit wonder for A Girl Like You.

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

@@TheJohnnyCotts Come on. They were not "regional" or one-hit. A Girl Like You was 1989. I was playing them all the time in 1988, from the two CDs I had. I was living in SoCal at the time. They were all over MTV. But I guess you have to revise history. Some just have that compulsion.

[@MichaelLantz]

They were I remember their music was everywhere in 1988-1989.

One of the most underrated Rock Bands of all time.

Most underrated band of my generation

[@bentpolski]

The BEST Band to ever come out of JERSEY!

[@bentpolski]

A Tribute to all those High School Chicks that broke Your Hearts!

[@JKTube]

+@bentpolski: So, so true, that's exactly who I was thinking of while watching this.

[@stephenalvaro6816]

Love the Smithereens. Thank you for the great music. RIP Pat.

[@cjjourdain]

Every Smithereens song is about a broken heart, every one!

[@outtathyme5679]

The perpetually heartbroken Pat DiNizio

[@nathannewman799]

SO underrated.

[@Ledprostate]

Pat Dinizio wrote songs with such memorable emotional "hooks", not to mention superb lyrics, like: "If she asked me to I'd murder, I would gladly lose my soul." (Behind the Wall of Sleep)

[@nomansland4811]

So right Robert. Pat knew how to write about real life, youth, love and sorrow. I had the pleasure of talking to him once about song writing. We lost him too soon as I know he had a lot more in him.

[@strtgtr66]

This was one of New Jersey's best bands. Saw them back in the 80's, AWESOME!!

[@bradrobinson6194]

Rest In Peace Pat. Never forgotten

[@cletusbeauregard1972]

RIP, Pat.

[@dutchtennhard2860]

[@5jr.racing982]

I owned two of their albums in the late 80's.... 87...89 I think😮

[@1largelaw]

[@FanOfFab4]

RIP Pat

[@paddy9449]

GREAT Band!!!!!!! RIP Pat

[@pamwelch7228]

Love it

[@petej.8676]

R.I.P Pat

[@user-fx2qp2oc9m]

One of the best. Should have made it bigger!

[@ronaldgarrison8478]

1:51 Have to look a bit carefully, but I think the guys are actually walking backwards over the zebra crossing, not just running the video in reverse.

[@AlwaysPrisms]

never heard of this band they are good

[@timarnold2559]

Dude...Hooks much? These guys are the sh*t. Why I didn't listen to these guys back in the day, I have no idea. My loss. That Ricky does it for me.

[@googleusergp]

That's correct Arthur. They are indeed a "fine bunch of lads".

[@brookdalebill]

Yeah!

[@aljustal6554]

The way this video is laid out/edited is a direct tribute/reference to the opening credits of a long running detective series on CBS called "Mannix". Compare the video with the Mannix opening credits here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jom1dKSggtecaLs

[@Meatcity-sf8fm]

Better than e street

[@FrederickTAhne]

Too bad the lead singer passed away. Great vocal, great band.

[@4brens]

Not the classic song "Drown In My Own Tears" that you might have been expecting
