This song has one of the all time great bass lines.

Ian Dury was definitely a one off.Catchy intelligent songs.

Ian Dury is a legend in the UK, he had Polio as a child which explains his posture. An incredible song writer.

They had a few hits. I never did go too deep with them. They were in the Concert for the People of Kampuchea show. This is the concert that had Paul McCartney in a super band with members of Led Zeppelin, the Who and Pink Floyd. They do a killer version of Little Richards' Lucille. The show also had the Who, Queen, the Clash, Paul's band Wings and others. It's a pity this show is not out in good quality. Dury and the Blockheads do Rhythm Stick! Speaking of Paul McCartney, he does an Ian Dury song with the Blockheads called I'm Partial to Your Abracadabra, on an Ian Dury tribute album.

Ace, the late Ian Dury would have loved your reaction - exactly what he was aiming for. This was the "anything goes" 1970's. Another must reaction is "Sex and Drugs and Rock& Roll", live of course. Please research his back story and interviews. This was not Mr. Dury off stage. He was a very intelligent, lovable person. Enjoy!

Love him and the band .

Thanks for checking him out Ace, the saxophone guy was playing two at once!! You will get a lot of hits on this. Ian Dury was big in the punk and new wave era of the 1970s in Britain, vocalist, lyricist and all round legend and he survived Polio when he was young. Great beat, fun lyrics every instrument contributes and the vocals are fantastiche!!

Please check out Sweet Gene Vincent , another great Ian Dury and the Blockheads song.

Next song by Ian you have to react to is Sex and Drugs and Rock n Roll. You’ll love it. ✌️❤️🎶

Love the interpolation of German and French lyrics.

Great classic track!!

Be great if you could review, Reasons To Be Cheerful Part3 by Ian Dury and The Blockheads too, Ace, please.

Try "Reasons to be Cheerful pt3" and "There ain't half been some clever Bastards" More classic Ian Dury.

This song was great! It was covered in Swedish by M A Numinen from Finland which made it even more absurd! (If you understand Swedish, since he translated rythm stick to rytmen pinne which is not even a word)😂 - a great succes!

If you @AceTheHeart really like this music you should check out the album St. Valantine Day Massacre by "Mark Foggo`s Skasters" ! Ian Dury was the first musicion to popularize this music named "SKA". Best wishes @all from Hamburg (Germany)

Hi Ace...I am happy to see that you are on some kind of mission to cover the classics of the past that I and people my age grew up on. They were wonderful days with very talented musicians and singers. I think a lot of the music overall was better in those days focusing on romantic love and free love as well as world events. These musical greats of our history should not be forgotten. However, I think you may have overlooked our present day Diva Star in the making, Lucy Thomas. She has released "Unchained Melody" kzread.info/dash/bejne/n6Wf2pl6ppnffco.html and it is out of this world. It is worth it for you to see her now. She has released about 5 or six videos since you so wonderfully showcased her about a half a year ago. She also released 4 videos of her recent LIVE PERFORMANCE, the first of her public appearance on stage a couple of months ago and she was Fantastic. Please check her out Ace. Those old greats will not be too upset. They can wait for now. Thanks

By the way . He coined the phrase 'sex and drugs and rock n roll'.

You need to hit more Triumph. Fight the Good Fight, Magic Power, Hold On, Time Goes By, Never Surrender, Say Goodbye
