Not sure but good question. Often wondered. Maybe the world tour fits the Mondo bit? 

Prefer Mondo Bongo to Bongo Crazy.

I'm sure I read something about this some time back, although I can't remember the source or exactly what it said. Just a vague recollection. Sorry. It may have been something simple such as Mondo Bongo sounds better!

Talking of this LP Was in a guys house on Friday. And the talk got round to what we liked. To my amazement He said he liked the Rats and the 1st rats LP he got was none other than Mondo Bondo  saying that he loved to two singles that came of the LP tempting him to buy it. Just shows you the way other see things, he thinks this album is great over the other albums?? Not so sure myself But it takes all sorts

Banana Republic was so different but in a good way and then Elephants Graveyard felt like a return to the energy of previous singles so I can see why your friend was impressed. Mondo Bongo was the highest placed chart album for the Rats and certainly sold well. In parts, it really is a good as Surfacing, but the odd filler had crept in by way of the crass Red and the over indulgent Mood Mambo, or the rather lazy Thumb. Real Different although a b side, is as good as anything off Surfacing so the Bongo months were certainly no disgrace.

Real Different in my opinion should have been on the album. Other likes on the album for me Please don't go,This is my room. Also like Mood mambo. I talked to farther murphy and he swore he wouldn't tell But some of them boys are going to go to hell. Ireland to a tee on this one. You were always getting told you would go to hell if you done something bad
