You obviously know the song AND can harmonize to it. I hear a little Abba Esq sound there.

Justin, you can wear anything you like. I love hats. They are essential during cold weather to maintain safe body temperature. They also hold curl away from moisture to retain a styling. (I style my own hair.) Just stand in front of a mirror & judge for yourself if you find the hat becoming.

JUSTIN! (That's me, shouting from Bury St Edmunds, my dear Suffolk neighbour).
Have you listened to the even greater Feargal/Vince Clarke/Assembly tune "Never Never"? Oh, my actual GOD.

This wasn't his first record after the Undertones. He sang on "Never Never" by the Assembly.

Maria McKee's brother was Bryan Maclean of the band Love, who wrote "Alone Again Or".

If you want to wear the beret you should. I happen to love hats. They are practical for inclement weather & why not allow your flare for style show. It should make you feel good about being you. No matter the fashion trend be original & put your take on it. I believe in not looking ridiculous. I have seen some ridiculous outfits in fashion magazines, but there is also the beautiful & practical to apply to a look you feel comfortable with. BAV

Justin, the key to wearing a hat is being sure that the hat isn't wearing you. You may see a cool hat, it doesn't mean it will look cool on you. In the case of this particular hat, I think it's slightly too floppy or large for your head. However, the style does suit you. ❤

Cool video. But you're no fop. Of course, you are a rock star and you have the need for style or at least giving the very cool impression that not caring about style imparts to so many rockers. But to be a fop–not cool. And you know this and I'm silly for explaining it.

My favourite song is 'I am Hans Christain Anderson and I've got a tale to tell," by Danny Kaye. I use to sing it to my primary school teacher duing roll call, "I am Hans Christain Anderson, Anderson that's me".

I like your hat – I can't advise you when to wear it though – I might have bad taste – who knows. I like to listen to you with an acoustic guitar, it's lovely. Thanks.

Probably been pointed out before, but Sharkey's follow-up single, "You Little Thief",was Benmont Tench's retort to " A Good Heart."
@daphnesmith1897
January 30, 2026 at 12:59 pm
Lol, loved this. Great laugh 😂 You look very French in your beret. You have the look to carry it off. If you love it, wear it. No body else's business really. I may be delusional but to me, Chris de Burghs song "lady in red" sounds very similar to this song. Voice, i mean.

Love that song and your hat too, you can wear it anytime! I like hats myself since i was a kid and now at 47 im living the hat thing even more, dont know why you dont feel comfortable outside with it!? Maybe that one isnt your brand style? It looks good on you though.

I had the undertones cassette in highschool in the late 70s. If you think a good heart is great…look up “ my perfect cousin” here on youtube..talk about an ear worm.

The hat would look great if you were doing a big video about synthesizers

Justin sweetie, you're still famous with or without the vibrato.
@MariaFrancesca
January 30, 2026 at 12:59 pm
Beret? I've never seen you wear anything (including the shark costume) that you didn't rock, including the whole not wearing anything-thing… rocks that, too 🙂It's not the clothes, it's how comfortable you are. In videos here, and on stage, you look comfortable.
Comfortable with oneself, I mean, not like sinking into a comfy sofa.

Your voice is beautiful, don't criticize yourself, there are too many assholes who will do it for you in the course of a lifetime. You, Steven Tyler and Freddie Mercury are in an elite group who can actually hit those high notes, most people sound like a scalded cat.

Watched this one right after the Florence + the Machine one, so something stood out for me: I honestly can't see how one can dismiss her ouvrrrre for lacking finesse… and at the same time get past that "I hear a lot of stories" and enjoy this song. I mean… being human is having contradictions, but still.

Awesome, Justin! 😂 I loved this and yes, you took me back and yes, it’s an efin brilliant track! IT’s immediate! You know it straight away, goes straight to the heart! You can just imagine them all in the studio writing it together getting excited about it, knowing that they knew it was going to be a massive hit! Thanks for the share, the laughs and the trip down memory lane! ❤

I saw them open for U2, so double plus good!

If that's a beret, don't wear it. If it is not a beret, wear it.

Always thought Fergal Sharkey’s voice would mature into that of Roger Chapman from Family. But he gave up singing to take up a BBC production course (probably wisely in the long run) so we’ll never know. Great voice all the same.

Wear the hat Justin, never thought of you as the sort of guy to shy away from making a splash. It is a lovely beret btw

You should rerecord this song and release it. Bring it into the 21st century.

I have loved you since I was 15 or 16 and saw The Darkness in Ankkarock (I vividly remember you doing air splits in a very deeply cut zebra patterned body suit), and I suspect I will continue loving you 'til I die. I'm so happy I discovered this series of yours, I really like listening you analyse stuff. Keep on rockin' you beautiful, beautiful man ❤️

It’s a lovely hat. I’d like to have one of my very own – tmi, I’ve previously screen shotted it to try to find one…
