Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Banana republic was definitely ireland. Know that for a fact because i lived there at the time of the song and the whole country was gorging itself silly on bananas.Marky Dread wrote: ↑22 Feb 2019, 6:51amUmm no! and no development credit for you.

Indeed the song was written about Ireland. A "Banana Republic" could and has applied to many places in the world.Low Down Low wrote: ↑22 Feb 2019, 7:00amBanana republic was definitely ireland.

Re: Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5
Yes thats true. Geldof said he wrote BR in response to the Rats being banned from playing in ireland. I remember a story about the uproar caused when it was revealed that the marquis the band were going to use for their homecoming gig in dublin had been used by the pope during his visit to ireland a year earlier. "The purple and the pinstripe/mutely shake their heads" is i think a likely reference to that predictable outrage.Marky Dread wrote: ↑22 Feb 2019, 12:01pmIndeed the song was written about Ireland.

Hey clearly you didn't read the mandate. There are only around 15 decent songs about Europe.

I had no idea what the song was about I just thought it apt, Europe being an unstable nation reliant on one export - BritainMarky Dread wrote: ↑22 Feb 2019, 12:01pmIndeed the song was written about Ireland.
