By this I mean proper old school b-sides as on the original vinyl! My personal favourite is Real Different bw Elephants Graveyard. In fact Real Different is one of my favourite Rats tracks- a song about stagnation and boredom a familiar Rats theme. There are loads more good b- sides like Its All The Rage/Late Last Night/Born To Burn/So Strange and Europe Looked Ugly, strangely left on the new remasters. Anyone got any personal favourites?
1 : Say hi to Mick 2 : Walking Downtown 3 : Europe Looked Ugly 4 : Late Last Night 5 : How do you do
.....does anyone know how to spell DUN LAOGHAIRE
Never mind pronounce it for those non Irish and even in Ireland there are two different pronunciations 1 "done leery" and 2 doon layra favoured by some posh RTE broadcasters. For those not in the know the Rats use spoof working class Dublin accents in this piece so its a ptake, sorta like Damen Albarns mockney. The Rats infact generally came from "nice " middle class backrounds so theyre taking the mickey out of their fellow perhaps less fortunate Dubliners. Ive always liked it with its nice calipso type beat and humour -" well dats the stupidist way I've ever heard of spelling Dun laoghaire!"
