Fantastic track and played frequently when it charted in 1985. Unusual at the time but clever.

 

I was listening to it last week, forgot how good it was!!

 

It's not a party of function track. I would think about playing it early on at an 80's night/40th birthday, but not at a general gig.

Not one I would play unless specifically requested due to its lyrics and connection with the Vietnam war.

Do you spend a lot of time reseaching,lyrics and artists behavior before playing tracks?

[llcooljoe 0]

It's not the lyrics that bother me, I just find it boring. I did at the time too. Just not my type of track I suppose.

I think it has a good beat and it's an anti war song

So wouldn't have a problem playing it.

 

As Norfolk said probably early evening 40th or fiftieth.

Wouldn't play at a wedding.

Will play next chance I get.

 

There are plenty of tracks that the BBC banned that get played regurally eg

White Lies wouldn't have a problem playing that track. Anti drugs song

Reading about the Pogues being offensive because of the word Faggot mentioned in Fairytale Of New York.

What a joke classic Christmas and my number one fav Christmas song.

:bouncy:

 

 

It's one of the earliest tracks which made use of a sampler. I remember at the time we used to play it quite a bit, and it lead me to buy a sampler and play with it at the t-t-t-t-t-t-t-time. Quite revolutionary in those early days.

 

I can't imagine it would do much on the dancefloor now though.
