BOOMTOWN RATS "i dont like mondays" b/w "its all the rage" 1979
Q: what changed in the last thirty-five years?
A: nothing, except dozens more school masacres in the US....!
this one was written by Geldof after the first US school shooting, the title comes from the shooters own mouth, when asked by police why she shot up the school with her fathers high powered rifle from across the street her reply was "i dont like mondays"...
this "a" side would without a dount be in my list of top20,even top10 songs of all time...
these guys had talent, but unfortunately for them this was really the only hit they had outside the UK...
"b" side is more uptempo,sort of punk-meets-new wave, its good in its own right...
single topped the charts here
