Saw these guys in concert twice. That’s not enough.

[@morganerickson439]

Same. Why I never tried harder when I was younger is beyond me.

[@likeitornotmike]

What a great singer he was. Rest in peace, Pat DiNizio.

[@paulbraddock6830]

I had the privilege to be at one of their out door concerts, super cool is all I can say

[@studapeppahead5384]

That bridge with the strings........my God.....Perfect.

[@hihats]

dennis diken is a master class in rock drumming every time he plays

[@troytatzko1056]

R.I.P., Pat Dinizio. Thanks for the great music.

[@cutelittlecaramelkid]

R.I.P. to Pat DiNizio, who passed away Tuesday (12/12)....

[@crapple009]

This song is sooooo smooth..

[@paulberthold932]

I know this song isn’t representative of what their fans like about them, but i bought the CD due to this song and now their older music has a new fan.

[@dtuba]

RIP Pat Dinizio. Thank you for all the great tunes sir.

That smirk at 0:41 makes me weak in the knees

[@richardmyers137]

Song is pure genius

[@jimmyhd1969]

Breaks my heart💔! Pat's passing leaves a void that cannot ever be filled!

[@donrump461]

I remember tis song in tge summer of 92 loved it then and still love it!

[@Augmuse]

Rickenbacker bass! The band has yet another great tune!

[@lixie1]

What a great track and what a great video - something the Smithereens always deliver!

[@michaeldeanlewis]

Love this song, showing versatility, depth and soulfulness!!

[@aus80srockradio94]

Cool little song from 1992. I once owned the CD - it had an orange, red & white cover from memory.

[@joeymorvant161]

What happened to it? Also, was it the parent cd, or a cd single?

[@aus80srockradio94]

@@joeymorvant161 It was the album called Blow Up!. I think I sold it years ago. It's not rare, should be available on ebay.

[@joeymorvant161]

@@aus80srockradio94 Ok. Thank you!

[@crapple009]

The album cover's artwork can be seen on the bass drum in this video.

[@sarcasticallyrearranged]

I still have the cassette tape and it still plays fine.

[@mstech1601]

This song pops up randomly in the middle of I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry...it was single handedly the best part of the movie if only because it completely threw me to hear it being played in a big studio movie in the 00's. (The album this is on is pretty darn underrated, much much better then the A Date With The Smithereens album that would nearly kill their career in 94.)

[@terryjames548]

Somewhere this song is playing on Nottingham Way in the Village Green in Hillsboro. Maybe in Manville, too. I can hear it on Brooks Blvd by Addonizio’s house........

[@Girl-fk1wf]

You guys are great!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@russellsimonds7148]

💔❤ I miss you Pat

[@g-dogmoney]

Thank you, Pat.

[@chrisst8922]

So Jim's got a 620/12 with a broken scratchplate and Mike's using the 4002/3 rather than the blackstar one he used. I don't think that's Jim's 340 in front of the amp, it's got 3 pick-ups but it's too short in comparison to the other 620/12 beside it (the one in natural maple) so that must mean it's a 325!. But the stars must be those Rickenbacker Transonic amps that someone found in a museum. Wonder if they worked.

[@hfactotum1]

This one I missed...

[@phaeton01]

how many people had an inxs video back in the day?

[@cedarbay3994]

It’s like a gd Hootie song.

[@smithereensfan]

my wife wants me to grow a pat goatee now.

[@michaelmastauskas-ok5xv]

Rickenbacker amps !!

[@starkparker16]

That guy from Garand Thumb

[@smithereensfan]

leather pat seems to be the awesome pat

[@michaelcurry97]

How would "Date" Ruin The Smithereens?

[@outtathyme5679]

The American Beatles imho

[@nofatebutwhatwemake9880]

Funny you should say that! Did you know that they produced a Beatles tribute album called "Meet the Smithereens"? They covered early Beatles songs very well. True fact. Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mobIoJeEbNdjiKM Enjoy!

💋 Just One‼️ Or maybe two.. 🥰 Or three😉

[@DarkEagle-vx9hd]

Who's the blonde model with the pretty face and luscious lips?

[@jmc6309]

I love crenshaw but can't replace Pat there as dead as the Beatles as a band had a coworker give me green thoughts on cassette before I left never forget him

[@joemelnick3497]

RIP Pat ,thank you for all the joy sir ♠️♠️♠️
