Now could that be construed as some radical's views or some liberals' wish". This refers to singer Bob Geldof's participation in a Greenpeace anti-whaling rally in London's Trafalgar Square.[4] Geldof's website describes the song as a personal statement on fame.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|url=http://www.discogs.com/Boomtown-Rats-Someones-Looking-At-You/release/3176991 |title=Boomtown Rats, The - Someone's Looking At You (Vinyl) at Discogs |publisher=Discogs.com |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10}} 2. ^{{cite web|author=William Ruhlmann |url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/the-boomtown-rats-mn0000520033/biography |title=The Boomtown Rats | Biography |publisher=AllMusic |date= |accessdate=2014-04-10}} 3. ^{{cite book| first= David| last= Roberts| year= 2006| title= British Hit Singles & Albums| edition= 19th| publisher= Guinness World Records Limited | location= London| isbn= 1-904994-10-5| page= 71}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=6306 |title=Rats article |publisher=Authorsden.com |date= |accessdate=2011-10-13}} 5. ^ {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090709055241/http://www.bobgeldof.info/Disc/surfacing1979.html |date=July 9, 2009 }} External links
