Which Rats song is he talking about?
Permalink  
 


A challenge from one of my friends on myspace. I have not got a clue, but I am sure somebody here has.
Thanks
I have a challange for you.
I remember seeing the Boomtown Rats on American Bandstand in 1979 or 80 (not sure). I can't remember what song they did but I remember Bob jumping up and down on the baby grand piano at the end of the song. My mom was freaking out but I told her it was a prop piano for him to do that (at least that's what I thought). It turnds out it was the piano from the Lawerance Welk set and they left a big gash in the top. Do you know what song it was, or better yet, find the vidio? I think they did Elephant's Graveyard, but that was a long time ago.

It was for the video of Someone's Looking At You and The Rats got a bill for the damage.

Thanks Chris, Did they pay up? That is the question.

Ah...1979...those were the days...(I was ~ twelve)...I went on a grilled-bologna diet that summer and lost a ton of weight...
You wouldn't think it .... but it WORKED...(...the healing quailities of pork...someone should do an oinkumentary...)....

...I wish they'd release their videos on DVD (they haven't already have they?)...or set something up here on this board to allow us to look at them here...

...they are really cool videos...I'd love to see them all...

PS...
...they should have kept the piano...what a conversation starter...
