''Waiting for Bonaparte'' is the third studio album by The Men They Couldn't Hang. It was recorded at Woodcray Studios in Berkshire and was released in 1988. It is the first album to feature Ricky McGuire (ex UK Subs) on bass guitar. The album again features songs written about British culture and history. The only single on the album to feature a promotional video was The Colours. The video was given a Les Miserables style theme due to its historical lyrical content and features writer Paul simmonds in drag playing the part of a woman of ill repute.〔A Bag of Songs, Paul Simmonds,ISBN 9781447537274〕 The song itself, however was banned by the BBC due to the line, "You've come here to watch me hang!", which echoed the events happening in South African townships at the time, in particular the plight of the Sharpeville Six. It still managed to reach number 61 in the singles chart. The Crest is the only single to have an extended remixed version. ==Personnel== ;The Men They Couldn't Hang〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/waiting-for-bonaparte-mw0000946727/credits〕 * Stefan Cush (a.k.a.
