Talk:Fisherman's Blues

How did the song "World Party" inspire Wallinger's band name?

The song was released 2 years after Wallinger started WP. Unless the song was written before 1986?

Spanish version of Fisherman's Blues?

I heard there was a Spanish version of Fisherman's Blues? Can anyone confirm this? Thanks! --Brian Fenton (talk) 13:09, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Misinterpretation of 'A Bang on the Ear'

I don't agree with the interpretation provided for this phrase. A 'bang' is not a kiss, but slang for the act of sex - like 'shag' or 'bonk'. The word 'ear' in the phrase, I believe comes from the Irish placename 'Inis Oírr', sometimes written 'Inisheer', which is the smallest of the three Aran Islands off Galway. 'A bang on the ear' then is much more likely to be a reference to a romp in the seclusion of that remote island than a peck on the cheek. Mgreene754 (talk) 22:13, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Without a reliable source explaining it, all interpretations are original research..... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 12:58, 10 January 2014 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Fisherman's Blues. Please take a moment to review my edit.

Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
