I'd like to think he made this and then saved it for someone being particularly annoying, and then the room goes quiet as he streams his abuse and "the twat" hangs his head (like some kind of bat).
This just does not age, it does not diminish, true greatness is permanent. The only one who comes near is John Hegley - but he could never have JCC's sheer attitude. I loved this the first time I ever heard it. How the fuck any English-speaking person on the planet does not love this, I do not know. Nice one, John. I also love his haikyu - please check it out fans of JCC.
Great - love it! For once, with the avalanche of slides added to the performance vocal it's taken to another dimension, nay stratosphere! Congratulations!
The 45 record was cool, it had 2 grooves in it 1 cleaned cencored version and the other this version. Depending on where you dropped the needle. you could get a surprise.
I saw JCC in Coventry I think around 20/25 years ago maybe more pure genius. I rushed out to buy his LP at the time long playing records for you youngsters. Twat may represent the evil tyrant thatcher but I could think of a few others too.
A miner wouldn't waste his piss onto Thatcher's grave..... if she's ever gonna f*ing croak it that is - the hideous old coffin-dodging alien reptilian monstrosity excuse for a human being.
Totally brilliant!! First time I heard John Cooper Clarke was his Kung Fu International - this is even better than that!! He is the best thing out of Manchester!!
excellent well made.
