Teenage Kicks

One of the more common commercials on TV at the moment is being run by a mobile phone company and features an easy listening version of the Undertones classic "Teenage Kicks".  Listening to the advert it is easy to forget just what a great song this is but I heard it on the radio the other day and my youth came bounding back.  It's a fantastic song and one that I loved as a spotty teenager.  It captured the energy of the British punk scene (we thought it was all new; who had heard of the Ramones?) without the negativity of the Sex Pistols and so many of their immitators.  I'm going to listen to some more Undertones.  If you want, you can even buy me something.
