This song used to turn me on loads as a teenager. I'd often end up having a wank while listening to it. It was the thought of Eve Libertine strutting about in red high heels that did it for me. I also used to love the scary fold out album covers. I'll never forget a young girls contorted face with what looked like some sort of sticks either side of it. It was just so frightening. I almost felt like I was breaking the law having Crass albums in the house.
@johnwolcot don't think you get it dude. sexualizing eve libertine's body & high heels while listening to a song about how high heels are a symbol of the oppression and objectification of women. lol. is this for real
@mesealuka I don't think I'm guilty of anything too bad. I was only about 15 at the time and didn't really understand what the song was all about and didn't think much further than Eve Libertine being sexy. To this day though I still love women in red high heels. I'm also sure that there are plenty of women who love them too and don't feel oppressed while wearing them.
Thank you for posting this-- this was the first Crass song I ever heard as a fiery teenager, and it made my blood boil in the most marvelous way. It made my hair stand on end back then, & it still does now! And it's every bit as relevant now as it was then, too. Every word is like a scalpel.
Ive love this song since i was 14 . I'm 41 now, and boy it makes more sense now, then it did then! lol
