@dgar I remember constantly playing the B side, on the community centre's juke box. It was called "There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards". Better than the A side too! 😁

Playing the B side (of #hitmewithyourrhythmstick #IanDury #IanDuryAndTheBlockheads)

"There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards" was on the B side to get more financial support for Ian and his former mates, bc they owned the copyrights

The 4 orig Dgar boost

Ian Dury and the Blockhead’s biggest hit, reaching #1 in the UK Charts in 1979. Dury said the song carried an “anti-violence” message.

[Verse 1]
In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatán
Every womans, every man

[Chorus]
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!

[Verse 2]
In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro

[Chorus]
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut! C'est fantastique!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit!

C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht?
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click, click, click

Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
