He famously made the news in Britain one year when he was number one in Ireland with Rat Trap (a cover version of the Boomtown Rats song which he sang with Bob Geldof, and made fun of him throughout), when in just about every other country the Christmas number one spot went to the Spice Girls with their song 2 Become 1.

I didn't know that existed. It would good if we could get hold of some these things through this site, if the means are available? More ideas for CDs

Thanks

A few other bands I like have Torrent sites for their fans...small but dedicated audiences. Would it be possible to work something like this out for Bob/Rats stuff? What's needed?

U2 have such a thing. I've no idea how to go about setting it all up? And I'm not sure torrents and Macs are good friends

Hmm I tried to sign up for an account with one, but then I'm stuck. It is asking for a URL to pick up tracks from. Given the trouble I had trying to write a webpage on one those easy they do it all for you sites, I think I give in there!

I'm sending Rat Trap again. I don't think it sent the first time.

The Torrents thing is a good idea, because it is on another website which picks up other people all over. But failing that we do have Rat Chat, which has been useful! I'm sure I'm still missing some B-sides which weren't on the anthology...

The version of Rat Trap is amusing (even if it's rubbish!), but Walk This Way is unbelivably cr@p! Geldof must have still been in his diddly diddly stage.  You have to hear it though

Perhaps this hasn't been spotlighted before, but seems Bob didn't confine himself to fun and frolics with Dustin, managing as he did to get included on Lemon's Christmas video some years back (frightening where it goes) which was pointed out to me over the week-end:

Complete with the same friendly mock chin thump that Pete and Bob deliver in the playout part of the Million Years video
