I didn't get the Fall at first. I downloaded This Nation's Saving Grace and didn't care for it at first. It took time but I'm really getting into them. This song is awesome. I love TNSG now. I wish their records weren't so hard to find.
The Fall have always been a 'disco band' even if it's only a disco in yer kitchen. John Peel only agreed to go on this show if he could select a band to play himself....guess who he chose?
Brilliant, esp. considering when this was created, against the 80s reactionist music scene, the anti-Madonna, Rotten's "we don't care" carried forward and turned sideways, we don't care, here it is
Marc E's languid lyrics and hard hitting imagery always strikes a blow against those pap pop songs. This song stands out as a beacon amid a sea of mediocre slosh. Thanks for posting the vid.
best band ever....

The funniest thing about this is in watching the hopelessly clueless 80s dudes in the audience trying to dance to this blessed shipwreck of a tune :)
