Elastica make their live UK TV debut on The Word - Channel 4's controversial, 'post-pub', culture/bad taste show from the early 90s. This clip is from series four, episode eight, first broadcast on January 14, 1994
@jimbophil Connection is, however, 1000 times better than three girl rhumba. Three girl rhumba only has the beginning, weaker than Connection, and you could throw away the rest of the song. Connection was an incredible improvement over Three Girl Rhumba. So even if they settled out of court, I still think Connection is a better achievement. Wire should be grateful: I wouldn't know of their existence if not for Elastica.
although not for this song. You think this is a rip off, check out Wire's 'three girl rumba" and compare it to Elastica's 'connection'. This was the song they had to pay up for.
What's wrong with the drummer? Does he feel sick or something? I always thought this lot ridiculously overrated at the time..

So a sensitive council estate boy gets parodied in 'Charmless Man' as a City boy with bottomless pockets? That's, er, highly unconvincing..

Rubbish, it sounds nothing like I Am The Fly except they are using similar chords.. lots of songs have similar chords to each other..

in fact some years later they had to pay an out of court settlement to Wire.

Wait, this sounds exactly like Wire's I Am The Fly from Chairs Missing. Exactly. Smells like a rip off.
