The Undertones - Teenage Kicks

The 1978 debut single from Belfast's The Undertones, "Teenage Kicks", was famous British radio DJ John Peel's favourite single, and it's a hard one to beat. The youthful swagger and exquisite pop melody, wrapped in a simple, punky arrangement, is brimfull of energy and works on every level. "I need exictement and I need it bad", sings Feargal Sharkey, referring to the all the girls he's dreaming about. Who can not relate to that?
