Great guys, they came to my sick little cousins house in Northern Ireland at the height of their fame. He was extremely sick and his wish was to meet them. They flew over and they played for him in his house,all the family met them. The only thing they asked was no media on the day as it wasn’t why they done it. I remember it fondly. Brilliant guys.

Let me introduce you to record companies and the conartists that run them. You would think the millions of little girls that screamed their heads off at Backstreet Boys and Nsync made them super rich too, but they were penniless at every point of their fame. Goo Goo Dolls owed about $400,000 after their probably most successful album. It goes on and on. Most bands that actually play instruments tour year 'round and barely can pay their bills. It's sad. This was long before Napster so they can't blame it on anything of the sort.

@mattpotter8725

@@mtpstv94 Whilst I agree with your sentiment and you're right record companies do take large cuts of bands profits but the sing writers of songs that get played over and over do make quite a bit of money if they retain the songwriting rights to their songs. I'm not sure who wrote the settings of the Backstreet Boys or NSYNC, but if it wasn't them they wouldn't have made that much, although they were hardly poor. The problem probably with a lot of artists came because they lived the high popstar lifestyle without having the income to back it up and didn't put money aside either for when they had faced back into obscurity. I agree they got screwed by the industry, but many had issues coming from their stardom, maybe before as well, and all the issues that came with that.

Hopefully, they had a clause that reverted their publishing to them after a certain period. Most of the time the songwriters get half the publishing rights and the publishers get the other half. If they owned their own publishing they're definitely set for life. If not they're at least half set for life. An international hit like this can generate 10-20 million in mechanicals(sales) and another 40-50 in media spins. This song's in heavy rotation in alternative rock classic radio and has been used in several movie soundtracks. Most notably Benny And Joon. They're doing all right.

No matter what people say I L9VE THE PROCLAIMERS

First tape I ever bought as a child, in 1994. My father was like "are you sure you want this one? You don't want something newer?" I was adamant. I wanted this one. I had no idea what was on the tape, I just knew I wanted it. Sure enough, their style has influenced me immensely. Incredible music.

Backup musicians just don’t get the credit they deserve…the bassist was killin it the whole song. Steady and flawless.

Heard them on the local radio .... said to my wife ...these guys are fae Scotland .... she said yer havering chiel.... in Virginia

Great song of the 80's.....

Its amazing that when musicians performed on Letterman their music was better than any other performance on any other shows..Paul Schaffer's band had much to do with it...

His band would perform the hell out of every piece put in front of them. Great band, through all the different members.

Totally agree. Seen them a few years ago. Outstanding.

They sound EXACTLY like the original recording!! Classic!!

I must 'a heard this song 500 times, and I could hear it 500 more...

It took me nearly 40 years to get this song out of my head. Why oh why did I watch this?🤦‍♂️😂

I love how they don't even attempt to disguise their accents. They're awesome!!!
