ON OUR BIG FAT MERRY-GO-ROUND

'''On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round''' is the debut album of Irish rock band A House. Released in 1988, the album reveals a taste for driving, catchy guitar rock somewhat in the style of U2. The lyrics are full of attitude, including attacks on journalists ("That's Not the Truth") and production team Stock, Aitken & Waterman ("Stone the Crows"). The lyrics evoke violent imagery as well; song titles include "I Want To Kill Something," "Watch Out You're Dead," and "Violent Love."
The album contains the raving "Call Me Blue," which reached #9 on ''Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart in December 1988.
