We Can Swing Together

by Lindisfarne

The People's Palace (or Palace of the Parliament) made famous by the scene's from Bucharest in December 1989, when Nicolae Ceaucescu was thrown down. The palace forms here the background for children's largish playsite. Thought that Lindisfarne's All Fall Down would have been a suitable song, but could not locate the original version to link to. Thought "We can swing together" as quite suitable, too.

The palace is said to be the world's largest civilian building with administrative function, and is 86 m high and 92 m underground (so that the rulers would survive a nuclear war).
