[Super25man]

cool im starting to like this style more than hardcore =D

[wandererlain]

What a wild woman!

[specialdjones]

Ditto the above comment. It was the new thing. Besides rap/hip-hop, the last revolution in Pop music. All flavors that have come since are copies.

if you like x ray spex check out kap bambino..... similar in style she just shouts what she thinks sometiems it makes sense mostly its just noise

punk is still alive and kicking,

yaaaaaaaaammmaaaaaa

xxxxx

[Poopingbotham]

Which was the "a" side? The sleeve here suggests that this song was, whereas

"Oh Bondage" is a better song and better known

But if this song IS the "a" side, then it's news - and a surprise - to me

[nutteronthebus]

WOOHOO great song

[markSTINKS]

@ Spiderwebsider

You have hit the nail on the head! I was into punk in the late 70s, when it was all about originality and anarchy and fun ... then the uniforms and studded biker jackets started creeping in ... and all that fucking awful Oi music ...

[NinJavaisDotAnoobLOL]

@markSTINKS ahahah oi music ahahah I love what you saying yo!!!!!! nofx can suck my dick!!!!!!!!

[wonderlin1]

@markSTINKS GREAT post!!!!!!

[nikkari69]

[WoodRatGirl]

I always thought it was bark bottom lol.

[feckingtwot]

@WoodRatGirl I always thought it was 'boredom, boredom, boring boredom'

[avitalthealien]

[Spiderwebsider]

It's great hearing some of the old punk classics like this. I had this one, but sadly lost it many years ago. For me 1976-78 was the true era of punk. The Pistols, Damned, Clash, Buzzcocks, and of course XraySpex. But by the end of 78 I'd lost interest because punk had become something else. Something you had to buy into with the uniform and merchandise. That's never what it was about...it started out against all that crap!

[wonderlin1]

@Spiderwebsider My God- your post took me back to that time &* you are right on target!!!!!!!!!

[Williammcgarrie]

@Spiderwebsider You forgot to mention S.L.F,Jake stiil performs to this day! I hope you liked them too!

[wonderlin1]

@Spiderwebsider you're so right - PuNk - poly styrene & xray spex

[puremania7777]

total classic

[marioalassio1]

[natasxeslived]

i all ways thought she said hear me emimema buzz bomb buzz bomb

[xoxoLCxo]

[artofpretention]

Yama yama yama yama yama yama

Boredom boredom boring boredom

Yama yama yama yama yama yama

Boredom boredom boring boredom

[Winky395]

[Winky395]

Yama yama yama yama yama yama

burn bottom, burn bottom

Yama yama yama yama yama yama

burn bottom, burn bottom

[TargetAudience1]

I always though it was

yammayammayamma

yammayammayamma

bored i'm bored

bored i'm bored

yammayammayamma

yammayammayamma

yamma short for yammer

[Winky395]

I always thought it was:

burn bottom, burn bottom

heh

in the pre-internet world you could

go thru life singing all the wrong lyrics

in a state of blissful ignorance.

[TargetAudience1]

the good ol' days

[poorfred1]

IAMA CLICHÉ IAMA CLICHÉ IAMA CLICHÉ IAMA CLICHÉ IAMA CLICHÉ IAMA CLICHÉ YOUVE SEEN BEFORE IAMA CLICHÉ THAT LIVES NEXT DOOR IAMA CLICHÉ YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN IAMA CLICHÉ PINK IS OBSCENE YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA BOREDOM BOREDOM BORING BOREDOM YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA YAMA BOREDOM BOREDOM BORING BOREDOM Poly Styrene (c) 1976

[dacritter]

@poorfred1 must have took them years to right this song,if you want to call it a song

[twistedsistaqteu]

@poorfred1 absolute quality

[marioalassio1]

@Winky395 i prefer your lyrics.Try to imagine the state of blissful ignorance of an spanish guy like me,hahaha

[poorfred1]

@marioalassio1 I always thought it was burn bottom too, before the internet set me straight.

[markSTINKS]

The punk revolution in the UK had fuckall to do with cliched fashion (biker jackets and mohicans) - it was all about liberating rock n roll music like this utter classic by the Spex

[Germ0o]

i know if u search up the lyrics and she sais "yamma yamma yamma"

dont u think it would make more sense if it said "yammer yammer yammer" i mean look at the defenotion of yammer it comes perfectly before bored bordeom

[bambii2012]

BOREDOM BOMB

BOREDOM BOMB

[Germ0o]

if ur trying to type the lyrics ur not correct

[Germ0o]

its bored bordeom

bored bordeom

[paptart911]

this song is for all the brain mansfields out there!!!

[asilvestre26]

The very good is sax sound

[andrewbarnes1985]

fart bomb fart bomb

[Germ0o]

i know its yamma yamma yamma

but if it were yammer(talking alot)

...boredeom

then think about that

[exeuroweenie]

I always wanted a trampoline to bounce on when I hear this.

[LaurenLEMONDROP]

yeah, :)

[TheysayIamtoomuch]

Yamma Yammma Yamma! Yamma Yamma Yamma!

Boredom Boredom Boring Boredom!

[LaurenLEMONDROP]

i thought she says

"here i am i am a, here i am i am a"

o.o;

xoxo;

[keith6400]

I would agree to that, as yamma yamma etc sounds pointless and Poly always wasalways absolutely relevant and years ahead of her time. This is why so many still love her and her stuff.

[tone2287]

i thnk she does

[Vickiebettan]

fucking good song : ' D

[AziZibmen]

WOO THIS SONG IS DA BOMB

[hcstarr]

pink is obsceneee!!!! loooove!

[doo5time]

close enough to my punk (the ramones the sex pistols and the casualties)

[Thegodofhats]

i love this song.
