Go Willie!

I think I'd rather be wrong than have Willie O'Dea defending me.

drdeadlift

why do they need defending? did they do something wrong?

WolfForager

Tuning in now, what's the general consensus from the public so far?

How can people take such a song which is clearly a joke so seriously? I mean saying it encourages drug use in front of children?!

Where does Liveline find these people?? Poor Willie is under siege

There was another song they did about Willie O'Dea the pretty much made a mockery of him.

Just listening to Willie O Dea defending the Rubberbandits on Joe Duffy

Just wana run a poll and see if people like or dislike

Mr E

F**k these prudes, I've a horse outside.

Wertz

Won't someone please think of the children.
Best LL ever.

So anyone wanna buy a bag of jokes?

drdeadlift

im not listening to the radio,but if they are having a go at the song for it mentioning drugs hmmmmm what a load of bolix., the country has plenty of bastardized children that have a bad future ahead of them.I dont see songs like this doing any harm.

Mr. Manager

Close thread.

Willie O'Dea defending Rubber Bandits on LiveLine right now!

neil_hosey

ScumLord

Holly Jesus, "It's a child protection issue" I thought these old fashion fools where dead.

Wertz

Ahahahaaaa here's one of them on now.

speedboatchase

Haha Rubber Bandits have rang up

Wompa1

It's like the B Sharps. Funny at first but then less funny each time you hear it...

When the video started and the guy was on about house parties I was like guhhh and wanted to hate it but I have to say it's not the worst, it's funny in bits and the video is suprisingly well put together.

Enjoyed the Rubber bandits, hilarious that Willie O Dea is on liveline sticking in for them.He's a total opportunist but sure no publicity is bad publicity.

Fascinating that they have such a following among hip dublin southsiders.

Fionn fiachra and caca milis are really into comedy hip hop it seems. Like they have a sixth sense amongst themselves of what's "in"

Dublin at times... strange place, no shortage of pretentious arseholes...

although they may have got it right with their love of the rubber bandits.

Tabnabs

Joe is speechless!

WolfForager

"Can you talk properly?" Baha

FatherLen

someones opinion....................

Mr. Manager

Apparently the video is art.

Wut?

What's wrong with wanting to see peoples opinions on it?

Why didn't he ask Willie O'Dea if he can talk properly?

rubber bandits making absolute shìte out of yer man

fantastic

Aodan83

Poll needs a "meh" option.

thebigbiffo

they're off beat, they're having the craic, their backing tunes are reasonably catchy, they've some good witty lines, they've a video with hot chicks and funny looking blokes in it and finally they're probably going to beat xfactor to number 1...

what exactly is there not to like

Aye, I wouldn't really go out of my way to listen to them, but they're far more enjoyable than any of the tepid pop ****e that dominates the charts these days...

gerrycollins

rubberbandits winning the argument I think

Pace2008

Definitely good, imo.

The hardest I've laughed in 2010 was when they started listing off the 'RA members in this video (3.22):

Yea them pesky rubberbandits have flipped this country on it's head.

Well said :rolleyes:

ghostdancer

overall, they're good. very funny live.

not much of a fan of the new version of Horse Outside though.

fakearms123

I think that south and west Ireland find it a little bit funnier than the general Dublin area simply because of the sense of humour in it, its very "rural" in their references and I think Dublin people can't really relate so much to it. Your going to have mixed opinions on it, Paddy living in a bungalow down in a field in West Field Farm is going to find it a bit funnier than Maxwell who is living in an apartment in South Dublin and who works in graphic design for Stellar magazine

Oh I really hope so!!

Does itunes here contribute to the UK chart or Irish chart?

AdMMM

I think they've come across very well. A lot of people dismissed them as the characters they portray on screen but their artistic knowledge is genuine and quite frankly, impressive.

bungler

The guy from rubberbandits "blindboy" destroyed the original caller he's speechless

starbelgrade

Willie O'Dea is funnier.

TonyInch

In my opinion the songs and videos are raw but hilarious. I have met several people who behave this way and live this way of life. I think it’s just the scumbag stereotype not just typical in Limerick but any big city

partyatmygaff

The Willie O'Dea song is funnier.

Didn't like them at first, thought they were just idiots with bags and no talent.

After actually listening to the humour, it's quite good. Love the digs at the "armchair Ra", the huffers, the puffers and the Subaru stuffers.

Horse outside is catchy and can you honestly say you'd rather XFactoid Matt or Cheryl Gowl as number wan?

Ya!

if you buy it in ireland just ireland afaik. it's take multiple times the amount of tracks sold in ireland to reach xmas no. 1 in the UK.

In fairness anyone who can bring such serious amounts of laughter with all the ****e in the news deserves credit.

They have been around heres and continously evolved from being a couple of lads recording prank calls, to making songs, to getting themselves on national tv - going viral on the internet - and receiving international attention for their comedy sketches/performances.

Their gigs are selling out like hot cakes too.

Mr. Manager

"I'm an artist but I love money" - What a line.
