I think when some people hear the word "normal" they are really hearing "normative" or how you should be. I have no problem saying normal; after all there is much more to life than being normal. RIP Ian. You are missed.

very shocking at time - still is i guess, but certainly thought provoking - who can say what words and why etc ? you were used o Dury's songs being outrageous...but i remember thinking at the time that it wa sorthy, ,it wass intended to be "worthy". i heard hin say in an interview that he once had a guy come up to him at agig and said " you're puttting it on, intcha... what ...the arm and that, you're putting it on !! !!

Anybody who has or is about to watch this video please can you join the support group on facebook for this song, for march 27th for no.1 thanks :)
This was released in 1981 to mark the International Year of Disabled Persons. Hardly surprising the BBC banned it then, seeing as they thought Frankie's Relax was pornographic. Surprised they didn't ban Roland Rat for appearing on Top Of The Pops naked.
