dbpprop:abstract
  • "Killamangiro" is a song by English band, Babyshambles, released in November 2004 through Rough Trade Records. It achieved respectable chart success, peaking at #8 on the UK singles chart. The song itself features an unusual opening beat from ex-Babyshambles drummer Gemma Clarke and is also recognised for guitarist Patrick Walden's "messy" style of play and frontman Pete Doherty's distinctive vocals. It is a regular feature of live setlists by the band and has gone on to be one of their most popular and well known songs. The title is a pun on the name of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, but further mixes in the song's lyrics about "kill[ing] a man for his giro" - a bank deposit method often associated with British unemployment benefits. The track was released as a single, and subsequently included on the album Down in Albion with different production and a different drummer from the original. The circumstances of the recording of the song for the album were remarked upon by Babyshambles bass player Drew McConnell on 5 November 2005 in the New Musical Express: "We weren't planning on having 'Killamangiro' on there. We got in the room and thought, "Let's run through 'Killamangiro'", but sneaky Mick pressed record. Pete was jumping over the desk and giving the engineer a heart attack. Pete's got a thing about not releasing tracks more than once. People have written that we can't play our instruments and that's really not true because this is completely live."
  • « Killamangiro » est une chanson du groupe Anglais, Babyshambles, sortit le 29 novembre 2004 chez Rough Trade Records. Il acquiert un certain succès, atteignant la 8 au UK singles chart. Le titre est calembour sur le nom du mont Kilimanjaro en Tanzanie, car dans les paroles la chanson contient : « kill[ing] a man for his giro » (Tuer un homme pour son giro) - une méthode de virements bancaires s'associant souvent avec les assurance de chômage britanniques. Le morceau est sorti en tant que single, et par la suite inclus dans album Down in Albion avec une production différente et un batteur différent dans l'original. Les circonstances de l'enregistrement de la chanson pour l'album ont été détaillées par le bassiste des Babyshambles Drew McConnell le 5 novembre 2005 dans le New Musical Express : (Nous n'avions pas de plans pour 'Killamangiro'. Nous sommes entrés dans la pièce et nous avons pensés, "Passons vite sur 'Killamangiro'", mais sournoisement Mick envoie l'enregistrement. Pete a bondit du bureau et octroi de l'ingénieur une crise cardiaque. Pete a obtenu une chose à propos de ne pas enregistrer un morceau plus d'une fois. Les gens écrivent que nous ne pouvons pas jouer de nos instruments et cela est vraiment faux car c'est complètement du live.)
