Song of the Day, 11/12/02

[Bob Schroeck]

It's from 1979, and has sort of a slow disco-y beat; the speed is such that Dury is singing at almost a conversational pace. It's an odd little song, but I like it. I first heard a fragment of it as part of a parody record called "Bras on 45" that Dr. Demento was playing a lot about 14 years ago. But it wasn't until Ian Dury died a couple years back and they played it on the station I listen to as a tribute, that I heard the real thing.
You can probably find a copy via a P2P service. And allow me to take this moment to recommend KazaaLite -- all the functionality of Kazaa, and none of the spyware...
