A mural of lyrics from a song by Northern Ireland band The Undertones has been removed from a flyover in Belfast by the Department of Social Development (DSD). The lyrics "Teenage dreams, so hard to beat" were from the band's debut single Teenage Kicks. The song rose to prominence in 1978 when BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel played the song twice in a row on his show. Sign the petition that we want #Teenagedreams back on the flyover wall. #TEENAGEDREAMS https://www.facebook.com/Teenagedreamsbelfast

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you care about bringing these lyrics back to our city. If you could send this link to a few people today we might actually reach that one thousand mark to show the department how much this means to us.

i grew up looking at that wall. let some local art back on there instead of boring concrete.

Ridiculous decision to take it down. It was a proper piece of belfast history and looked way better than a plain grey wall.
