@dgar I just had a memory. There used to be an ad that had a bunch of celebrities singing a version of this song, "hit me with a Samboy chip", led by The Screaming Jets' frontman Dave Gleeson.
I went to a jets concert, and I brought along a packet of Samboy chips to throw at Gleeson. But I chickened out at the last minute and ate the chips.
WildEnte@dgar do you know the awesome cover version from the 1994 by F.F.W. and the legendary Nina Hagen? That fantastic bass line is much clearer there. Not much else is 🙂

NormanDunbar@dgar I remember constantly playing the B side, on the community centre's juke box. It was called "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards". Better than the A side too! 😁

Playing the B side (of #hitmewithyourrhythmstick #IanDury #IanDuryAndTheBlockheads)
"There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" was on the B side to get more financial support for Ian and his former mates, bc they owned the copyrights
