I just heard this on Radio 4 ("The Paper Round" series, Tony McCauly episode) and I thought it was Hazel O'Connor singing !

A bit more searching led me to this. Great song and interesting to find out that it wasn't released in Canada or the US because the political context of the song.

Apparently, it was written by Drafi Deutscher for Marcia Barrett when she was solo, but when she sang it with Boney M on tour is was so popular they added it to their second album.

Number 1 in Germany, UK 8.

[88tclint]

I fuckin hate I.R.A scumbags. Up the U.V.F

[MyMoans]

@88tclint What an intelligent comment clint. It really added to the discussion.

[TheDocmajor]

Big up to my fellow Jamaican Marcia Barrett. Great Tune. I love Boney M.

[groinhat]

Everyone knows this record was released by British counter-intelligence (or possibly counter-counter-intelligence) because only bigots and terrorists analyse the sociopolitical background of Boney M lyrics, Normal people just dance drunkenly, so they do.

[ukcommunist1979]

what has happened in NI is tragic and should never have happenend, and to me being british its a bloody embrassment! im Catholic but that measn nothing to me as i hate religion. but i hate the fact our capitalist goverment has oppressed Northern Ireland for so long im truly sorry and understand the IRA attacks on the mainland, but dont like how they attack ther own. I f the northern irish like being british then move over here stop causing conflict like the jews in palastine.

[aggyuvf]

@ukcommunist1979 If the tarriers like being irish so much they should move south of the border and stop causing conflict in the north

[BoxxysAnonymous]

@ukcommunist1979 Wow, the sheer faggotry and ignorance in your post is astounding.

[ukcommunist1979]

belfast is a city not a country. EIRE is the country !!

[sharkarama]

er no thats the Republic of Ireland, Belfast is in Northern Ireland, which is a province of the UK.

@lelkesferi Ja, ha én lennék odaát a "nagyfőnök" pl. Farian nekem se kéne! Öreganyám is mondta: "Mindig a jók mennek hamarabb fiam, a rossz ember Istennek se kell!"

Nagyon sokan fogunk rá emlékezni... és sokáig!

[michellesvideosuk]

YES MARCIA BARRETT DID THE REAL RECORDING FOR THIS WITH LIZ MITCHELL AND FRANK FARIAN ON BACKING, SORRY MAIZIE AND BOBBY WAS NOT ON THE STUDIO RECORDING OFTHIS, JUST MARCIA, LIZ AND FRANK.

[JesseReith1]

The Belfast Blitz

[SluiceCrew]

Thon peace process owes it all to Boney M - John Hiume is only in the hap'pny place

[joeby808]

This song was originally called Londondery, catchy tune but this song makes no sense and has absolutely nothing to do with Derry, Belfast or Northern Ireland but at the end of the day what do you expect from a song written by a crazy german in the early 70's

[Patatenhannes]

@joeby808

wrong. in almost every song ther's a message. of course its not completly about the NI conflict.

[JoanCollins2009]

@joeby808

[LittleSweety]

This song was in the top 10 in the world charts in 1977

[1978TVP]

totaly unexpected vocal and instrumental failure, must say holy crap! am appalled and irritated...

[wererabbit70]

тетки выглядят старше парня..серьезнее чтоли ..

[faridy2008]

Used to heard & love this song during Standard class

[sverigech]

Will it be possible to get the whole performance of this song pleasssse ??

[sverigech]

Great live version !

Who said Boney M could'nt sing ?

Abba's fans ??

[hoopenhanger]

Belfast is a smelly kip. Clean out the prods and maybe it'll smell better.

[MrBlackmetaler]

@hoopenhanger the only smelly places in belfast are The Falls,Ardoyne,Twinbrook,Polegl­ass,Shortstrand,Lower Ormeau,The Markets

[hoopenhanger]

@MrBlackmetaler You dirty orange bastards smell like burnt tyres. Fuck off to the UK if you don't like living in Ireland, smelly bastards.

[hoopenhanger]

@MrBlackmetaler Hey Meatgazer, we should put you on top of the next snout boney holding our nations flag, then burn your loser ass under a laod of old tyres! You worthless oranage bastard.

[riatzu666]

hahahahaha

[tobeach]

I really wonder.. if they ever had gone to Belfast.. which side would have shot them first.... LOL

[fiby101]

max29july: maybe you need to brush up on your history... Ireland gave as much as it ever received. The rest of Great Britain's infrastructure including the NHS would be sitting on a few eggs less without its peoples labour.

Get a grip anyway - ifs a fecking pop song

[mattiagostini]

TROPPO GRANDIIIIII

[mattiagostini]

GRANDI!!!!!!!!

[TransuranicaORLY]

It's great fun to cycle around Belfast with this on a stereo

[knightbrave]

no mames y mgo de oz tiene un cover de esta rola jaja

[cullyism]

@musicfrans. Its actually Northern Ireland that exists as part of the United Kingdom. Northern Ireland does not have a capital as it is not a country, its main city though is Belfast. There is also the Republic of Ireland, a separate state, not 'Ireland'.

[StupidFoolLady]

I love their live solo perfomances coz they make much more clever faces! XD

[StupidFoolLady]

cool singing but the playback in chorus ruins something.....

[SandDec]

Lyrics make no sense but music is great!!

[onamemmet]

there's no message. frank farian just needed lyrics; he'd write any nonsense as long as it was lyrics. rasputin and ma baker didn't make much sense either.

[marcdefaoite]

rasputin is a history lesson - he really was the lover of the Russian Tsarin Anastasia. This song 'Belfast" was actually banned in Ireland - who knows why.

[johnstaf]

It was NOT banned in Ireland.

[MrLozza1]

Single went to no 1 there in fact...

[data1947]

@marcdefaoite

no it wasent banned in ireland

never was

[mariostike]

English go home, i love I.R.A. from Padania

[max29july]

we would if they would stop killing each other we dont even want to be there they are animals

[data1947]

@max29july

oh a real diplomatic answer

you must be with the diplomatic corp

[max29july]

a bit close to the bone but true you think we want to waste our tax paying contributions over there if i had the choice i would cut every tie possible with them let them sought there own problems out we have enough dead weight in the uk without there shit

[Ghostak24]

AWESOME Song

[JAYROX1969]

Best song ever about Ireland, sorry Bono!!

[musicfrans]

Man there is Ireland and North Ireland,and Belfast is the capitol of North Ireland. Besides Bono and U2 are coming from Ireland who's capitol is Dublin

[JAYROX1969]

Point taken but U2 recorded SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY which is about an event in Northern Ireland in the early 70s, i prefer this song.

[mattnosurrender]

@JAYROX1969

That song isnt about what happened on Bloody Sunday. Are you British?

[mattnosurrender]

@JAYROX1969

Its not about Ireland.

Belfast is in the UK...and always will be.

[mohamedtexas]

i love this song

[siasti]

Why would a bunch of black sing about a bunch of potato eating morons who wouldn't give them the time of day if they actually went to Ireland??

[statickk14]

Beacause they care, moron!!

[kudatara]

Marcia Barrett wss a great singer with great voice and the look.

[sgillman16]

I see precious wilson as one of the dancer's with the red costumes. She is on the far left of the 3.

She is close to Marcia

[caola1831]

Oh yeh!!!!

[sgillman16]
