Killer drums !!!! Chambers was some man at the time, Very underrated.

[@SonicJCG]

I love this song and XTC they were totally underrated.

[@davajo4572]

My favourite band of all time

[@lindastokes]

[@logaspam]

I can actually remember seeing this live. I think they did a giveaway of the single artwork too.

[@gerardmccavana4905]

Brilliant

[@LaurieMacara]

[@floundermsu]

[@coltsuperocean10]

XTC ,such a fuckin great typically English band. No XTC, no Blur!

[@whouster]

Absolutely! The best bands of their own generation by miles.

[@stephenbennett4265]

Blur said they're favourite band growing up was XTC. Songs such as ...House In The Country, Parklife, so XTC.

Wap Shop!!

@WaltTFB That's so unfair - it's a sensible jumper!

[@joeoconnor5400]

XTC were never too proud to appear on kids programmes. You'd never have the Clash on Multi Coloured Swap Shop. Joe Strummer should have lightened up a bit!

[@bonzodog6872]

it's funny how Andy doesn't rate this song at all. is he mad?

[@whouster]

Yeah, that's weird. Andy was embarrassed about the 'lightweight' lyrics, but this really is a great pop song.

[@joeoconnor5400]

Andy Partridge has disowned the song because of its perceived misogony

[@jamesguy1030]

bonzo dog ~ Yeah, i think that it’s very important that the public gets both sides of the debate and the other side of the propaganda. Please check out these two very important videos = 1 - “A Film That KILLED it’s Own Film Maker : David Crowley,,, Gray State” By Steve Kanterakis Followed by the amazing short video footage called = 2 - “The 5G Virus & Fear Based Programming” By ODD TV They are almost a mirror image of each other, So share it with your Nearest & Dearest. David Crowley was murdered because he was trying to warn us about what is happening right now! We all must do our best to spread the Truth and wake our people up from a very deep sleep. So if you can, Please share it with as many people as you can before it gets Removed & Banned from KZbin. The Censorship Continues but OUR WEAPON IS TRUTH !

[@101Volts]

​@@joeoconnor5400 Source? I always thought Andy was embarrassed of this song because he thought people would think that he didn't grow up much between 12 and 25.

!0 points to you Sir! I remember feeling very old when Sophie Ellis Bextor turned up. I remember her being a bump in Janet Ellis' belly!

WAP SHOP???

[@lmw.5628]

Now that I've done a bit of research, I attribute the "underrated" thing to Virgin being complete f*ckwits. Virgin completely dropped-the-ball. grrr.

[@noiselabproject9659]

Classic but damn those early 80`s FX getting out of hand. Just like today just because do something it doesnt mean that you should huh ?

[@ugoindelicato2654]

Why some person listen music?.........great band!!!

[@angusmcfadden5662]

The dukes of stratosphear is way better than this should have done more songs that sound more 60s instead of newwave

[@countessratzass5408]

They only got lumped in with new wave because there was no category for them and there still isn’t. I don’t know if you were around back then but Dukes cross pollinated with XTC at Skylarking, which is psychedelic as hell. Most bands are not together long enough to have the output they had and the changes they went through.

[@ojakaorangejohns]

well this was like their 2nd biggest hit

[@101Volts]

@@countessratzass5408 XTC did fit in with Talking Heads and The Police; well enough to play different gigs with each band.

[@stephenbennett4265]

@@ojakaorangejohns Senses Working Overtime, and Making Plans for Nigel, were they're biggest hits ! Generals and Majors did ok aswell.

[@stephenbennett4265]

@@101Volts Talking Heads were huge fans of XTC. When touring together T Heads, would do they're set first such was they're respesct for them. And when XTC had finished they're set T Heads, would go back on stage to play afew tunes with them.

[@eldorado852]

Really? What's so great about them? They sound like Talking Heads with less talented musicians.

Don't be silly.
