.... I'm fed up with it. After twenty five years I feel that Geldof should sing another song when he turns up to sing. Anything! Crikey, even Another Piece of Red if he has to, but it's time to bury Mondays. Especially that reprise of the first verse (the album version).

I keep hearing it in trendy clothes shops - not that I ever buy clothes from them.
At the time of release I didn't think much of the song, but it still sounds modern and fresh even today. It's very different to any other song I've ever heard.
What's think?

I was listening to the Rats for the first time in like 20 years - and Someone's Looking is a REALLY GREAT song - very powerful lyrics about paranoia. Did Bob say what inspired the song?
Some of the lyrics were not printed in the record.
Do you know why Up All Night is not on the compilation albums...

Hi,
one of the songs I really love, when it's played live, is Banana Republic. I've heared it once in Mainz, Germany in 2001 or 2002 first row. WOW, even though Bob was very ill, got a flu, it was the very best performance of Banana Republic. Another great live version is on Dave 12" single. I also ...

Was just playing on EastEnders in the Queen Vic, not for long, but it was definitely Rat Trap. What is with soaps and chosing the Rats as background pub music? When was the last time you heard the Rats on a juke box in a pub? 25 years ago?

Hello all,
I'm have scouring the web for a digitized version of the b-side of "I don't like Mondays", but in vain...
If anyone has this tune ("It's All The Rage") as an mp3, it would be greatly appreciated if you could send it my way. It is not on any album.
