Unbeatable. Why are we all so serious and "kool" these days?

Do blue men sing the whites or are they hypocriiites for singing? ~ Great

At least Vivian left "Arc of a diver" before he passed. Thanks Viv!

I am still a huge fan - bought all their albums right back to Do Not Adjust Your Set (1968) - my head is still full of their lyrics and I run them though my head every like I have for the last 40+ years, my bible.

Yep. Been listening to them since the 60s. They've never been bettered. Viv Stanshall is one of the best lyricists ever, and the funniest!

And after this, just to prove they weren't completely taking the piss on people who were better than they were, they did "9 to 5 Pollution Blues" - still a bit of a piss take but good solid electric blooze.

@thegranddilligaf Actually they all were born in England but it British sounds better.

@strangeones4 I think the Bonzos were the English (and I do mean English as opposed to British) equivalent of Frank Zappa and The Mothers Of Invention- tight musicianship and intelligent satire.

This song mocks everything I love about 1960's British Blues; John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, and Eric Clapton. Yet it's not insulting. Just as "Gorilla" was a jaunt into British 1930's (American 1920's) jazz, the Bonzo's did it with taste.
