Play for the good ole boys and see what reaction you get. The songwriter said of the song:
"Was done at the Power Plant with Robin Millar producing. Robin is one of the nicest people I have ever worked with and has remained a source of good advice and inspiration. The song is about apartheid and I kind of liked the idea of using a Disney title for it to show how the media exploit real suffering for ratings." — Stuart Adamson, Restless Natives & Rarities liner notes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BlKFR_43PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESrhBgj4EZ4&feature=related I kind of like how this guy tried to do socialist agit-prop in the pop-rock anthem, but that also made his group pariahs on American radio back in the 80s (when radio and MTV airplay were the only way you could get to an American audience). He personally financed a music tour of the Soviet Union. I think this is the only case of a 'western' big label rock act doing that. Others went on the invitation of the Soviet government, with corporate sponsors. BC and Stuart Adamson couldn't get that because, ironically enough, he supported socialist, communist politics.
