First time I heard this song ... the final warm up song to the Olympic opening ceremony ... deserves it's place in the exceelent canon.
... I was like "did he just sing that?" ... "eh?" ... "what's he singing that for at the Olympics?" Then the ceremony that followed explained all. Haha ... the douchebags will take a while to figure out that Danny Boyle just used the opening ceremony to say a big fck you to the establishment ... and they paid him to do it ... and this song was the opening salvo.
"Hear ye, hear ye, punks and skins and journeymen"
"Come ye, come ye, to soulless corporate circus tops."
"Hear ye, hear ye, now anybody could take this stage.
Hear ye, hear ye, and make miracles for minimum wage."
