about

Palau comes from the Claim album (Mighty Boy/Reprise1989). It was another of the stalwart live songs. The song was re-recorded in 1990 for the Claim CD reissue - a quicker version with electronic percussion and more loops and samples. We've included the original version here. The lyric is inspired by Dennis O'Rourke's documentary Yap; How Did You Know We'd Like TV?, which looks at how US cable television shows such as 'The Price Is Right' are being beamed into remote Pacific Island communities.
