Quote:I was about to say something about that. I have an old bootleg off the radio with that song (by a fellow known as Ivar Biggun, no less). I miss Dr. Demento. He made my Sunday nights less than boring in high school.
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.
