Ritalin Boy drops the song of the summer of 2018 – KGB (Tear Down The Wall).
A party anthem to rock the dance floors everywhere from Ho Chi Minh City to Havana all night long!
It’s a nostalgic throw back to the cold war days of the 80s, when folks partied the night away to the Neutron Dance, 99 Luftballons and Enola Gay.
A song for our times, now that the wall is going back up, again, and the bomb is ready to drop, again.
Ritalin Boy wants to drop a different kind of bomb! A party bomb!
We think the path to world peace can be achieved through mixing Capitalist Coca-Cola with Communist Cuban Rum, and getting everyone on the dance floor to party down – boys and girls and everyone in between, capitalists and communists of every colour and creed? It’s worth a try.
Cuz love is the answer love is the way
No matter how you play no matter how you pray
Ya gotta tear down the wall!
lyrics
KGB drop the bomb
Vodka Red Bull all night long
DJ spin that party song
A revolution on the dance floor until dawn
Ya gotta tear down the wall
In Cuba they drink cola rum
With sexy senoritas in the sun
But Cuba is not libré
No matter what your Ché Guevara t-shirts say
DJ is a naughty boy
The big red button is his favourite toy
Little Kim asks, “can Tigger play too?
With the Bear and the Elephant in the zoo?”
Who’s the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo?
Who’s the man who bankrupted the casino?
Played a trump card so high and wild!
Maybe it was Baron Rothschild?
Now they kiss the girls and boys in old Saigon
Where it’s so hot Ho Chi Minh can’t keep it down
Cuz love is the answer love is the way
No matter how you play no matter how you pray
Ya gotta tear down the wall
