Pet Shop Boys – What Are We Going To Do About The Rich? (mp3 download)
Pet Shop Boys return with a new song to What Are We Going To Do About The Rich? Following up to a previous release called Give Stupidity A Chance, the band has resurfaced with another new single with a very politically inclined title. Neil says the song’s put-them-on-the-side-of-a-bus-worthy lyrics are “about the poor quality of political leadership in the modern world”. They end on Trump but start closer to home: there hasn’t been much talk yet of what will be Number One on Brexit day, March 29, and the bookies aren’t even taking bets, but so far Give Stupidity A Chance feels like the only sensible Brexmas Number One contender.
Three further songs from the Agenda EP (“three satirical songs and one rather sad song”) are all out this week; the titles are On Social Media (this could be reasonably spectacular), What Are We Going To Do About The Rich? (ditto) and The Forgotten Child (probably the rather sad one). The EP was produced with Tim Powell, and it’s a standalone thing ie the songs won’t be on the next PSB album.
