Does anyone know anything about this song?

It seems to be something of a Black Sheep within the band's catalogue, and I can't find any info on it. But I want this to be good, so if anyone has anything write more.

"Punk rock"?

Bankrobber is not punk rock.

But what is it?

It is reggae. I though it was pretty damn obvious211.30.52.219 09:39, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's most definitely reggae. Pele Merengue 04:39, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a reggae song performed by a punk band. The two scenes were close these days (see also The Slits, who started as a punk band, but their first album was heavily influenced by reggae/dub). If genre refers to the sociological milieu, punk rock could still be applied. -- 87.78.63.58 (talk) 08:48, 15 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:ClashBankrobber.jpg

Image:ClashBankrobber.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 18:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

BANKROBBER

Has anyone written on the Denver Hardcore band BANKROBBER? They have a Myspace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.232.32 (talk) 05:16, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pink Floyd reference?

"Run rabbit run"... common reference, direct allusion, or coincidence to Pink Floyd's "On the Run"? --BDD (talk) 03:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There was an old wartime song whose chorus went "Run, rabbit, run, rabbit, run run run" - I am not sure of the artist, but the song would have been well known by people of the post-war generation. This is almost certainly the source for both instances of the phrase.79.68.76.151 (talk) 13:34, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and lol... The Pink Floyd geek in me wants to tell you that the 'rabbit' line appears in 'Breathe', not 'On The Run', which is an instrumental piece :p79.68.37.66 (talk) 00:16, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An article about a song without ever mentioning what the song is about

The article comes with a large paragraph about fan boys wetting their panties, but no word about the romanticization of class struggle. Of course, Wikipedia is only interested in chart positions and possibly how many cash the record company made. -- 2003:E5:171F:44CE:F1BF:170C:AC19:2A8E (talk) 08:14, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
