Godley & Creme - Joey's Camel 12'' Vinyl (1982)

The duo gradually regained critical favour with a trio of innovative albums in the late 1970s and early 1980s L, Freeze Frame and Ismism (released as Snack Attack in the United States). Freeze Frame included several songs that gained airplay on alternative radio in many countries, notably "I Pity Inanimate Objects" and "An Englishman in New York" (not to be confused with the Sting song of similar name), which was accompanied by an innovative music video. The single "Snack Attack" was also a minor hit. They made the UK Top Ten with the singles "Under Your Thumb" (No. 3) and "Wedding Bells" (No. 7) in 1981, both from Ismism. Their 1970s single "The Boys in Blue" was played at most Manchester City football club matches in the 1990s and is still occasionally played there in the 21st century.

@astrodog23 I have the Changing Faces vid - I know it's not on that. I sure wish I could find recent recordings, even as producers, etc. I miss these guys SO much.

Todays installment of songs about EGYPT. I'm on a mission until they get rid of the oligarchy, the clerics and while we're at it, the inhumane capitalist monetary system all together!  Stay tuned- an Egypt song a day- This one reaching back to post Pharoach but pre Moses era...

Years ago, I had a VHS video compilation of G&C's videos, and I'd swear there was a video for this one on there. Darn, wish I still had that one.

I always thought that, too...slower but almost exactly the same groove.

G&C made 2 titles out of 1. By pitching down "Snack Attack" they created "Riding On Joey's Camel". I wonder if any of you realized that.

Didn't know "Joey's Camel" was a single and I bought everything in the UK released by them. Some of my fav G&C songs: Punchbag, Snack Attack, Five O'Clock, When Things go Wrong, My Body the Car, Cat's Eyes, Clues, Wide Boy... lots of great stuff and lots of weird stuff.

This is one of my favorites by G&C.

Thanks for the post. Don't hear this very often.
