Then Seamus (drums) joined them and two authentic musicians, Sonny (accordion) and Sam (fiddle, tin whistle, banjo and bagpipe). As for their becoming rats, the six „Irish” guys say: punk is the same in music as rats among the animals – dirty and malicious, and they exactly play it. The band is combining different nations’ pub music with hot and dirty punk rock. To spice up their own songs they use Irish pub music and Celtic features, but sometimes Russian and gypsy elements and rhythms are also present. The band’s first album – Rats On Board – will be released in march 2010 by Nordic Records and it will be available on Itunes and Amazone. Also, Uncleowen Records is releasing it in Japan. Those listening to their music won’t definitely stay sober, because the rolling jig rhythm makes everybody dance and even jump – and get drunk! Most of the lyrics are about drinking and pub stories (Fuck You I’m Drunk, We will fight, Pub’n roll). Last year they had more than 100 gigs, they took part in festivals in Hungary, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Slovakia and Serbia. At gigs, besides their own songs they play such Irish songs as Wild Rover or Whiskey In The Jar, sailor songs (Drunken Sailor, Bully In The Alley) and punk anthems (Sex Pistols, Green Day) with fiddle, banjo, accordion, bagpipe, whistle – and of course, a lotta rock’n’roll. Their aim is to introduce the crowd to different kinds of pub music and pub culture…

To be more precise: turn the whole world into a pub!

Bang!
Paddy and the Rats Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

While dogs were fuck in the kitchen
My girl just fucked with my mind
?Why don?t you have got a real job
Why are you just fuck your time??
So i had to go to Murphy?s,
Coz i couldn?t write a rhyme
I drank a lot of whiskey and guiness
And I fucked well fine

When i go to home I bang my girl,

I always do that
Maybe I?m a crazy man but that?s my attitude
When I go out with my Paddys,
We don?t like drink bloody a water,

And when I drink a whiskey,
That?s always what I do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Paddy and the Rats's song Bang! tell the story of the singer's night out with his friends, where he drinks copious amounts of whiskey and Guinness at Murphy's Pub. Earlier in the day, his girlfriend had criticized him for not having a "real job" and wasting his time. It appears that the criticism is what compelled him to go out and drink instead of staying at home to write. The singer's use of expletives and potentially offensive language throughout the song reinforces the idea of him being a rebellious, carefree person who lives life on his own terms.

While dogs were fuck in the kitchen
While the dogs were having sex in the kitchen

My girl just fucked with my mind
My girlfriend messed with my head

Why don?t you have got a real job
Why don't you have a real job?

Why are you just fuck your time??
Why are you just wasting your time?

So i had to go to Murphy?s,
So I had to go to Murphy's (a bar)

Coz i couldn?t write a rhyme
Because I couldn't write a rhyme

I drank a lot of whiskey and guiness
I drank a lot of whiskey and Guinness (Irish beer)

And I fucked well fine
And I had a great time

When i go to home I bang my girl,
When I go home, I have sex with my girlfriend

I always do that
I always do that

Maybe I?m a crazy man but that?s my attitude
Maybe I'm a crazy man, but that's just how I am

When I go out with my Paddys,
When I go out with my friends

We don?t like drink bloody a water,
We don't like to drink just plain water

And when I drink a whiskey,
And when I drink whiskey

That?s always what I do
That's always what I do
