I must just have switched off when the boys were coming on. If they were good they must really have rescued Willie because he was making a fool of himself there at the start.

Get the podcast - it's well worth listening to.

Blind Boy from the Rubberbandits took Anthony's argument apart completely.

The rubberbandits are no laughing matter. They are serious threat to stability and public safety in Limerick city, and if someone is shot in a drug related incident in Limerick city we'll all know who to blame.

Young people of Limerick city need to be spoken to by the Gardai, the moral guardians of the religious right, and people like Joe Duffy. They're the people who can really get through to them, not young people from their own area.

That does seem a bit much.

Derek Mooney likes the Rubberbandits. There you go.

Pointless.

I love the Rubberbandits. They are the funniest and most talked about act in Ireland at the minute. I've spoken to the boys a few times and they are really intelligent lads and they are sound out too.

Even if I did hate them, I'd rather see 2 fellas with plastic bags over themselves making songs about horses come from limerick than scumbags shooting innocent peope make the news.

I'm not one to tar everyone with the same brush but a lot of people need to get off their high horse(no pun intended:D) and ignore it if you don't like.

One thing I just don't get,
- why is there such a split opinion of them in Dublin?
they have a huge fan base up there!:D

your not from Dublin i take it

No, but definitely surprised at how many people I know up here that like them.

I really just thought they'd hate it, that it'd go over their heads. But the Dubs are lapping it up, particularly the scenestery(not a real word) types. Refreshing.

Like someone said, might beat the x factor to number 1, so whats not to like.

Does anyone know if you can get it on a t-shirt yet?

I'd love a "F*ck your honda civic, Ive a horse outside" t-shirt.

I think that south and west Ireland find it a little bit funnier than the general Dublin area simply because of the sense of humour in it, its very "rural" in their references and I think Dublin people can't really relate so much to it. Your going to have mixed opinions on it, Paddy living in a bungalow down in a field in West Field Farm is going to find it a bit funnier than Maxwell who is living in an apartment in South Dublin and who works in graphic design for Stellar magazine

Why do people think that Dublin people wont get it and it will go over their heads?

It's bizarre. You'd swear they were as different as Americans they way some people talk of them, that includes some Dubliners themselves.

ballybunionlad · 15-12-2010 4:23pm

I personally don't get the joke.

And if this reaches number 1 for Christmas we as a nation will look back in years to come and hang our heads in shame.

Cheers man, legend. Around about how far into it do I click to......? I really don't want to have to listen to an hour and a half of liveline.

Saw them live in Galway at Roisins for a Comedy Gig ...And they were so bad there wasn't a sound in the place between his songs or his crap 'Jerky Boy' Rip-offs. Everyone was just looking at each other in shock at how woeful they were.

Having said that ...I hate the tune but it is catchy and it's probably the best thing they've done to date. I'd much prefer this to be number one than some X-factor Sh1te.

FFS.

As opposed to whatever manufactured garbage Simon Cowell decides to sh!t out of his hole?

Brilliant comedy piece, which makes me laugh every time I see the video. In such depressing fcuking times, it gets my vote every day.

yeah - because a: what is christmas number 1 is really something that reflects badly on our society as a whole and b: 5 odd years of the xfactor claiming the slot is sooo much less embarrassing.

jesus :rolleyes: have ya nothing better to get on yer soap box about.

I don't get his idea that people in Dublin or other areas outside of Limerick won't get it.

There's nothing in it that's Limerick specific. I've lived in Dublin all my life and I've seen more horses in housing estates than I've ever seen in the country.
Did I imagine the drug problem in Dublin? The countless boy racers in Subaru's and whatever other cars they rally around in?

Maybe someone who lives out in the arse end of nowhere wouldn't get any of the references, but anyone who lives in any sort of urban area, town or city will get the references.

Personally I don't find it all that funny, but I know that's what it's supposed to be. People who are thinking that these guys are being serious need their heads checked.
Also the guy from rubberbandits who was on liveline was brilliant in his defence of the song. He had an answer for everyone of the points the callers were whinging about and they just kept repeating themselves. I found it interesting that apart from Willie O'Dea, who is probably the last person you'd want defending you, there was no other callers who were defending the song, apart from the guy off Republic of Telly.

ballybunionlad · 15-12-2010 4:33pm

I aplologize for giving my opinion.

For the record. I hate X factor.

I is a hater of Simon Cowell.

I don't hate Rubberbandits. I just don't think they're funny.
