| Brilliantly anthemic, well it's my anthem anyway. It represents everything that is good about youth | |

| This Song and Creep By radiohead are the two songs that can sum up the most of teenage feelings, Teenage kicks is the positive end of the spectrum as it is full of this great energy and like Nihilisticferret said it has a summer feel. While Creep is the other end of the spectrum full of anger and misery and love-sickness, which to me has a wintry feel, when everything is silent, delosate and glum and it feels like you haven't got any hope. | |

| This song is so raw and basic, it's just like teenage emotions. It's as good now as it was then, and I love it! | |

| Busted version wasn't that bad, because they stayed true to the original, which from an original standpoint begs the question - why cover a song justto do it identically? However it was the first song busted ever sang in which they did have a 'heavy' guitar sound thus making their stupid jumping about seem a little less... moronic. Obviously the song is a love song and it rules. Truly classic song. | |

| I've heard this song first when I saw "Shellshock rock". It didn't want to leave my mind since then. Love it. Btw. I didn't know Busted did a cover :o? It must sound terrible. | |

| This is one of my all time faves. My dad was a punk and I've grown up listening to this. All of their music reminds me of sitting in the car when my dad's driving, because he always played this kind of music. You're right about the word classic. This is one of the times it can be used, but it's so annoying to hear some little pop band who'll be yesterday's news in a couple of months bringing out a new single and all the poppy magazines are calling it a classic, when it sounds just like every other song they ever made. Luv, Louise xxx | |

| Iv just heard a dancey version of this by dj someone or other and it made me really really angry. I'm not going to explain what it means to me cos really and truely it doesn't mean anything to me. it's just a great song,a classically amazing song. but it made me so angry cos it still sounded like them, not that thats the bad bit, honestly i'd rather it sound like the undertones than some over-induced-with-helium sounding woman, but it sounded like them and yet everyone who hears it, who doesn't know who the undertones are, and lets face it, the people who are going to hear that version of teenage kicks are going to be the scals/neds/chavs whatever you call yours (tracksuit/burberry cap/orange make-up,goldchains etc) type of people who 99% of them won't have a clue who the undertones are, so it will be a fantastic song to them without them knowing any of its originality or classic qualitys that we have been basqing in for how long? basically, i'm trying to say, dj whatshisfaces are stealing the best songs of all time to turn them into shit songs. it's such a shame. you know like the way they have listed buildings? well they should have listed songs that nobody can touch or do covers of. | |

| teenage kicks is without a shadow of a doubt the single greatest moments in pop history, it is the perfect pop song. where bands like the beatles may have a far bigger back catalogue of great pop songs, not one of them embodies "pop2 better than this. i mean how many people can give you the name of another undertones song? how many people can even tell you the undertones did this song first? its almost a testament that busted have done a cover of this, they are a band who are 100% manufactured through and through and need a classic such as this because today they are the perfect pop band. anyway the undertones are great, a really feel good band and in my oppinion truer to the style of the ramones than most of the early punk bands were, because i think alot of them tried to imitate the ramones and the undertones did it pretty well. | |
