"Sunday Papers" is a song by the British new wave musician Joe Jackson. It was released on his debut album, ''Look Sharp!'', and also was released in the UK as the follow-up to his hit single, "Is She Really Going Out with Him?."〔 ==Background== The lyrics of "Sunday Papers" sarcastically criticize the press and those who read it. In the lyrics, Jackson, a vocal opponent of the press, sings of the trashy and inaccurate stories printed by the papers. On stage, Jackson would often bring out a newspaper prior to performing the song, which he would read the headlines and stories in a sarcastic manner. He would also mockingly talk about the papers in general, sardonically calling the British papers "a sophisticated standard of journalism" in one performance.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZ3NDP-Qiak )〕 As Jackson performed the song, he would gradually rip the paper he showed the audience to pieces. When a British newspaper, ''News of the World'', became involved in a phone scandal, Jackson was asked whether the lyrics to "Sunday Papers" were prophetic. He replied: As well as being released on ''Look Sharp!'' "Sunday Papers" saw single release in the U.K. and Germany in early 1979, backed with "Look Sharp!" in both countries. However, unlike its predecessor, "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" it failed to make an impact. It was followed in the U.K. by "One More Time," another ''Look Sharp!'' single. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunday Papers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
