I heard this on the radio on the way home from a shoot today. I was rocking out to this little number, all the while I had a big smile on my face........
It rocks.....

^^^^ Pure unadulterated festering pile of crap. An insult to the word music.

Drummer was sublime, guitar player was ace, pity about the dead beat 'singing' that totally made it seem like a day care event for mental health patients.

Yeees! When I was a kid and my Dad listened to this song I thought it was the funniest thing in the world, but later as a teenager I started to appreciate it.

The way it is played in the video is at the same frenetic tempo as the 3 minute super-fast US radio version which is ****ing incredible!!!
The original track was a slightly slower, vaster 6 minutes.

Thanks for posting this, Geezah. Brings back many warm memories for me.

another favourite track-
