Ian Dury was an interesting man - it's worth looking into his life. He contracted polio at an early age and died too young of cancer. I'd definitely recommend travelling down this particular rabbit hole.

[davesabra]

Ian Dury. A reason to be cheerful. From my town.

[TheClairem]

RIP Ian Dury, there’ll never be another like him.
What a writer he was, check out Sex & Drugs & Rock ‘n Roll, What A Waste, Reasons To Be Cheerful & Sweet Gene Vincent (it’s a tribute to one of Ian’s idols, Gene Vincent).

[arshadmahmood]

the bass sound is brilliant, you don't hear that nowadays, Ian Dury will remain a legend forever.

[JohnLovesSpain]

Bass player is Norman Watt Roy, one of the best bass players to ever walk this planet. Part of a brilliant band of musicians who still tour in the UK to this day, 40 odd years on. Saw Norman in the Wilko Johnson band a few years ago, stood just a few yards from him as he played. He was coveting his bass as if he would never play it again, a wonderful experience. I shook his hand and said hello outside the venue. Lovely man. He and Wilko were superb. RIP Ian Dury, poet genius.

[malcolmcog]

this is 43 years ago, he still hits me with his Rhythm Stick ! RIP the Lord of Kilburn !

[flea]

We all loved Ian, he seemed like a nice man who shrugged off his health problems to bring us all joy and a bloody good time.

[garrold]

Do you know what is great? You never noticed or gave a shit about Ian’s physical disability. Class act right there.

[biddylisduff]

His album "New Boots and Panties" is one of the best - the band has some amazing musicians! A genius who captured Art, Poetry, Music in 70's/80's/90's UK. Spoke up for Disabled people too, as a child victim of Polio. Fascinating mix of pathos, comedy, rebellion and grit.

[jonny]

Loved Ian Dury, what a wordsmith! "Sweet Gene Vincent" and "There ain't half been some clever bastards" are absolute classics, one of a kind, sadly missed, but never forgotten.

[bugsby]

A brilliant poet fronting a skilled jazz band. The bass on this song is complex and amazing. I believe it was written about his walking stick. Also, 2 sax at the same time.

[Robskit]

I love this. Its so low down dirty, steamy, old school basement club in the late hour fantastic. Ian Dury and the Blockheads are red hot and made a moment in music that scorches to this day and makes you play it again and again - hit meeee!

[leevanqueef]

I remember being transfixed by this song when it appeared on Top of the Pops in England.
That freaking bass line needs to be sent off into space so it'll be heard by the entire universe to let them know how bloody good it is to be human...

[thisiszaphod]

More Ian Dury, please.
He was a national treasure.

[GreenGibbon]

Great reaction, JV! You got it! Ian Dury & the Blockheads, what a band! (It's frightening to think this was 1979 - so long ago...)

[surlechapeau]

J, you'll love his "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" and "Reasons To Be Cheerful Part 3" !!

[stuhazle]

Norman Watt-Roy on the bass - a thing of beauty.

[onlyme]

Can't believe you did this one, kudos from a nobody 55-year-Old from the UK :)
I'm glad you liked it Jayvee we have so much more from the UK music at the time for you to listen to

[vanburger]

Totally unique loved Ian Dury....like others said 🙏 RIP . Suffered with polio most of his life, but great human being and fantastic music. 79 was the year I left school. This is in my own personal songbook of

[fligler]

Love this album! "Clever Trevor" and "Wake up and make love" also great tracks. Best lyrics and a true cockney
