The business practices of United Fruit were also frequently criticized by journalists, politicians, and artists in the United States. Little Steven released a song called "Bitter Fruit" in 1987 in which lyrics referred to a hard life for a company "far away" and whose accompanying video, depicted orange groves worked by peasants overseen by wealthy managers. Although the lyrics and scenery are generic, United Fruit (or its successor Chiquita) was reputed to be the target.

@aciverson84 Thanks for that. Usually, "protest" songs (how old am I?) are artistically thin - but this track was so good as MUSIC, it never occurred to me it was ABOUT something...

Steve van Zandt: YOU ARE MY HERO!

[hotox1968]

An absolute belter of a song this, an 80s classic, although surprisingly not that well know

[VanWhistler]

the Spanish version of this song is on the "B" side of "No More Parties (12" version)

[tombamann]

Awesome. Rubén Blades, the other voice at 0:52

[almobz66]

Ritmo eccezionale!

[escaruncho]

This song is absolutely FABULOUS!!! But "like is father" - unspoken...
