Competing to represent Ireland at the Eurovision with this song, Johnny Rotten and whoever the ‘co’ might be are probably not being ironic or ‘punky’ as the classic Hawaiian arrangement conjures up a particularly meaningful holiday there, perhaps it was John’s and his missus. Who knows?

If you heard it and didn’t know who it was what would you think? Perhaps that an ould fella, maybe one of them singers in a show band, had let the booze get him all sentimental enough to hire a studio and the local music guy to record something he’s been working on for a while. He should maybe take himself more seriously but it’s difficult when you’ve always got to get the first lumps in.

Hope he wins.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
