The Shamen - Ebeneezer Goode TOTP Live September 1992

A seemingly rare and forgotten clip of The Shamen doing a live(ish) version of Ebeneezer Goode on Top of the Pops in 1992 in which, Mr C takes the opportunity to tell us that it's "Not "e", not "e", most definitely not "e".

They would occasionally use their appearance on TOTP to try and do something a bit different with live vocals and live mixing. In this case, they rendered Ebeneezer with an acid hook in a similar vane to their BBC On Air session. Bleeptastic!

>When the Shamen appeared on Top of the Pops, it was expected that Mr C should tone down the song due to its being broadcast. The group replaced the final lyrics: "Got any Salmon?" - with "Has anyone got any underlay?" The BBC were furious, and dragged Mr C into a room off-camera, to explain himself, only to be told that it was simply a gratuitous rug reference.

Can anybody tell what is "salmon" and what is "underlay"?

@SuttonBluenose2 oh yeah, I've checked on urbandictionary:
