Weak in my opinion. It`s watered down. There is nothing "Limerick" in that song, no colloquialisms that made Bag of Glue and Willie O Dea good, Limerick humour if you will. That song could be anyone doing it, it just so happens it`s 2 lads with watered down Limerick accents.
Can`t blame them trying to appeal to those outside Ireland, but not for me this time.......

I hear what your saying about the "Limerick being watered down". But in fairness, The limerick humour is not exactly international. There has to be a middle-ground between what they were doing and what will go down well in the UK.
Going by the latest video i can see them being very popular, maybe not to the extent of Father Ted, but they`ll do well.
That clip reminds me a little of "flight of the choncords" two musicians trying to make it in the big time. I dont think they have lost their limerick humour totally.
Wasn`t a fan of Spa*tic Hawk to be honest, but this song is very very funny.
Lookin forward to seeing them in Sydney in January.

I think it`s their Limerick humour and slang that made them the first day. I just don`t get this stuff at all, but each to their own.....
I also think that a live gig environment is where they are really good.....

Much better than spastic hawk which was very bad.
They could really have made this one better if they had the blonde going up to the black guy saying once you go black you never go back.

I thought it was utter \\e to be honest. And if they are trying to appeal to a wider audience I can.t see this helping them. Pity as they are a very talented pair.

It is super stuff and a real return to form after a so so year.
Of course they had to water-down the overt Limerick stuff to penetrate the UK market, but loads and loads of clever nods to their native place, even down to having the 1996 All Ireland Hurling final between Limerick and Wexford on the TV when they are playing the gig in the bar.
Not to mention one of the bags on Mr. Chrome is from the legendary Chicken Hut, O`Connell Street Limerick City!!
V v clever send up of stereotyping and racism with a catchy and well packaged cheesy 80s video.
Can anyone say is it Shannon they filmed it?
Also interesting to note that Declan Lowney of Father Ted fame is directing it....a very shrewd choice with his eye for the surreal.

It is indeed Shannon, which unfortunately in the video isn`t done up with props which gives the illusion it is a sh*thole of a place....

Don`t know about Shannon Town, but most of the dance routines were shot down on the docks in Limerick City.

I did a bit of detective work.
Ex-Woman of Joe and daughter of the Principal of Ard Scoil Ris, and works in Clem Smiths. There had to be a hurling connection to the Rubber Bandits!!!!

You are correct.
Doesn`t look like her, but seemingly it is. The one who runs the underage discos.

There might be another hurling connection....
The red-haired guy in the dungarees who plays the gimpy friend is the head off Mark "Sparky" Ryan of Na Piarsaigh.
Anyone know if it`s actually him?
