Yup, I thought so.

ah ok. The DVD is 'news' though...

Mind you, that Martin Atkins DVD is interesting. Oh I have too many DVDs backed up...

aaaanyway. What of the Rabbit song? Song about vibrators or something?

― mark grout (mark grout), Monday, 22 August 2005 12:19 (twenty years ago)

It is the Chas and Dave song, isn't it? I'm confused now...

― Diddyismus the Blind (of Alexandria) (Dada), Monday, 22 August 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

I think John would have been better advised to cover "Gertcha!".

Will Chas & Dave be returning the compliment by covering "Poptones"?

"The Rabbit Song" is genius tho

― Diddyismus the Blind (of Alexandria) (Dada), Monday, 22 August 2005 13:18 (twenty years ago)

It's an original which features Lydon... rapping, in a fashion. A bit like Mike Skinner, so not so far from Chas and Dave, really.

Oh fuck, what a monumental disappointment!

"Oh you won't stop talking, why don't you give it a rest,
You've got more rabbit than Sainsburys, it's time you got it off your chest,
I've no feelings, no feelings, no feelings for anybody else"

Eek. The DVD portion of the new best-of looks nice, tho'.

You can keep yer Costa Brava

'Ave a day dahn Margate wiv all me family-ah!"

"She was a girl from Birmingham
She'd just had an abortion
She was a case of insanity
Her name was Pauline she lived in a tree
She was a no-one who killed her baby
She sent her letters from the country
Oh darlin'
There ain't no pleasin' you."

I don't care, I don't care
I don't care if he comes round 'ere
I've got my beer in the sideboard 'ere
Let Malcolm sort it out if he comes round 'ere
