Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards (page 1/1) ------ performed by Billy Bragg . | Reviewer: . | 1/5/09 i love this song. it's so comically true. eg, "in a perfect world we'd all sing in-tune. but this is reality so get some room." or "so join the struggle while you may, the Revolution is just a T-shirt away" i first heard this song on a television show with dawn french and catherine tate in it, called "wild west". now that i've thoughroughly read the lyrics i can't say that i understand why they had it on there because it doesn't really relate that much to the show. but i like it all the same [= Great Leap, Billy! | Reviewer: Simon Berry | 4/13/05 Just about the funniest and most self refferential piece from the un-crowned commisar of proletarian folk rock. This is proof positive that catchy doesn't have to mean mindless. References to the Kennedy dynasty, nuclear arms and political activism versus apathy all wrapped up in an increasingly up tempo, toe tapping tune - and it works in spades! Beam me up, Billy!
