    Well he is an art teacher sure isn't he? They are far from stupid.

    mathepac, not any more, I'm here(Ireland) but did indeed live in north west London for many years. The point I was trying to make was that this is funny no matter where you're from, if you are open minded and have a sense of humour.

    im from dublin and i enjoy the tune its clever but i think the song was intended for cultchies not dubs for sum reason i say cultchies love this tune

    :confused:

    The song has references to house parties, jocking horses, boy racer cars, and bags of ecstasy tablets.

    How is the weather there with y'all in Dublin, Georgia?

    Sound, fáilte romhat go hÉireann agus ar boards.ie.

    Yeah the crux of it not to have suffered the post-Budget sense of humour deficit.

    Spurs or Arsenal (or cricket) :) ?

    What I am interested to know is why so against Rubberbandits,is it because of where they come from?????.............
    To my ears they are just an Irish version of Goldie Looking Chain.......catchy tunes, ironic lyrics, seen as 'glamourizing the yob culture' by people with no sense of satire...........

    I got that fecking song stuck in my head now.............

    Anyone remember the furore about the Beastie Boys in the UK about 20 years ago? It even got mentioned in the House of Commons............

    "you can't sing, you cant dance, you look awful. *Kit Kat snaps* You'll go a long way"

    Im a musical snob but i find this tune and video very entertaining. Im not calling it good music, but it entertains me.

    I think the RB's probably landed a fluke with their timing. The country is in shoite and most people are well jaded of the nonsense of X Factor. Completely out of the blue comes this ludricous off the wall song with a mental video set in Limerick. Its a complete escapism and entertainment. It doesnt feel forced and the brazenness of it reeks of the Irish divilment that we as a nation are really good at.

    You have 2 lads with plastic bags on their heads, singing about riding some bird like a horse, and they were on the Late Late Show as well as being featured on CNBC.

    You cant deny, love it or hate it, fluke or no fluke, the planets aligned on this one. Will it have longevity? Of course not, but lets enjoy the moment while it lasts! Not even Crystal Swing got the international notarity that RB has.

    Rubberbandits haven't just come along. They've been around a fair few years at this stage. You could, very easily argue, they are getting the credit they deserve and that their songs are an apt social commentary as opposed to being about riding a bird like a horse/being in the RA/etc.

    I see myself of having a great sense of humour but this doesn't float my boat at all funny at first but its a complete mockery of not only the Irish (as if we aren't laughed at enough as it is) but the music industry soo count me out on this one, I think I'd much prefer to see the likes of 'brandon flowers', 'cold play' or 'the script' for example to warrant a christmas No. 1

    Yes its a complete mockery of the Irish because we all go around with bags on heads buying horses with bags of yokes... :rolleyes:

    ... and oh nos, they're mocking the music industry? I can't see how they're doing that but maybe, just maybe the record industry deserves to be mocked a bit when you see how it takes the piss out of its artists.

    I think I rather eat my own testicles than have any of them at number 1. I'd rather be laughing at Christmas than being bored to death by the over sincere warblings of some pretty boy but hey viva le difference!

    Yes, because drugged-up scumbags that ride horses always get the beautiful girl. :rolleyes:

    You would have to be a self-righteous, stuck-up, Joe Duffy-listener not to see the irony in it.

    Anyone know if you can buy the song online so it will get registered for the Irish charts but without going through iTunes?

    Why are people so many people concerned about the rubberbandits making us a bad name internationally? I think that the present government and banking sector have taken care of that already. If you can't see the irony in it I reckon you're too filled with self righteous ire to be able to take it at its face value - a pisstake on how many people perceive Limerick. Seriously, there's many things that are truly in bad taste in this country, a couple of guys taking the mick with bad Limerick accents isn't one of them.

    Also, the Joe Duffy show devoted to the song was one of the best things I have ever heard and a masterclass in how one person (the Rubberbandit Blindboy) can with reasoning lay the arguments of a few smallminded people, hyped up on tabloid outrage, to waste.

    Crap? Stinks? That is very harsh, Its original, funny and lots of people like it. Now, all those who like it may have not have the same tastes as you, that does not make it crap. Why not explain why you think its crap or just say you don't like it. Or why not consider the idea that you are wrong, completly out of touch, and have very poor judgment. And I bet you know who Joe Duffy is.

    and I think it's the biggest load of
    rubbish ever.

    The same D4 v contry argument was made for people liking the 'hardy bucks'.

    The 'hardy bucks' are funny, these guys are not

    Whats not funny about it is that they are copying limerick drug dealers. The plastic bag over head thing was done before by a crim who was attending a court hearing in limerick. Swapped it for a bag of yokes is a bag of e tablets. Watch the video and wait for the kids to start copying them over the next week or so.

    That's your opinion, and you're entitled to it. What you're not entitled to do is to claim that there's very little irony in the song when it is absolutely dripping with it.

    Not copying, satirising. They're not acting like drugged-up scumbags because they think it's cool, they're taking the piss out of real-life scumbags by exaggerating their most prominent traits. Saying that the Rubberbandits are endorsing that culture is like saying that Brass Eye was endorsing sensationalist journalism.

    First heard this song on Friday and it's a great track very catchy and fair play to the lads :), from the Joe Duffy interview they are well able to defend the song.
