On Our Big Fat Merry-Go-Round is the debut album by Irish rock band A House. Released in 1988, the album reveals a taste for driving, catchy guitar rock somewhat in the style of U2. The lyrics are full of attitude, including attacks on journalists ("That's Not the Truth") and production team Stock, Aitken & Waterman ("Stone the Crows"). The lyrics evoke violent imagery as well; song titles include "I Want to Kill Something", "Watch Out You're Dead", and "Violent Love".
The album contains the single, "Call Me Blue", which reached number nine on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in December 1988.
