This classic song celebrates the absurdity of commercial consumption by the masses... love it...
Karlo Marx and Fredrich Engels
Came to the checkout at the 7-11
Marx was skint - but he had sense
Engels lent him the necessary pence
What have we got? Yeh-o, magnificence!!
Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi
Went to the park to check on the game
But they was murdered by the other team
Who went on to win 50-nil
You can be true, you can be false
You'll be given the same reward
Socrates and Milhous Nixon
Both went the same way - through the kitchen
Plato the Greek or Rin Tin Tin
Who's more famous to the billion millions?

This is right up there with Rolf Harrris' "Two Little Boys" but if I had to choose then Rolf would get the nod. |

I can't get tired of this song. That warrants an upgrade of 8 to 9!

An eclectic choice from an eclectic album. I think of it as the Clash's "White Album" -my favorite. And this album pointed me toward dub reggae, further enhancing my musical existence. I am forever in debt to Joe and the boyz.

Never noticed before that this lead singer has quite a serious speech defect.. Or he just bit his tongue.. ;)
Still a great song though :)

Guitar at the end is almost a duplicate of a '68 tune by Archie Bell and the Drells.

Rap came just 5 or 6 years later... the 80's were the decades of musical artistes and musical freedom. many different sounds came out this tune and its band opens up the doors (not the band, mostly 70's by the way) of pop, new wave, and funk!!
According to wikipedia (and as we all know it is seldom wrong..)The first hip hop record is widely regarded to be The Sugarhill Gang's "Rapper's Delight", from 1979 |

Fantastic danceable agitprop. I'm a sh1t dancer and born wallflower, but this one was guaranteed to get me on my feet no matter how blotto/stoned I was. One of my top ten songs of all (my) time. 10 just doesn't do it justice, even if it is "f*ckin' long".
