I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down
Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the better times:
Oh danny boy
Danny boy
Danny boy...
I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down
Pissing the night away
Pissing the night away
He drinks a whisky drink
He drinks a vodka drink
He drinks a lager drink
He drinks a cider drink
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the good times
He sings the songs that
Remind him
Of the better times:
Dont cry for me
Next door neighbour...
I get knocked down
But I get up again
Youre never going to
Keep me down
Well be singing
When were winning
Well be singing

Worst song ever recorded, I'm sorry.
-
I rather liked that entire album.
-
Aside from that song, Chumbawamba actually have rather a lot of good anarcho-punk music.
Loved the interview after that song took off where the girl in the band said "Honestly, we don't care if people shoplift our CD" or whatever and the label got pissed off.
-
I've only heard like 3 other chumbawumba tunes.
They're good, this one is the best. Redownloading it 30 minutes ago was a very nostalgic and worthwhile experience!
-
It's been done (http://www.box.net/shared/pb0o5lskxs).
-
Man....I'm so happy I missed the time when Chumbawumba was cool.....that's just a terrible name.

DO THEY OWE US A LIVING?

Oh, wait. Wrong idealistic British anarcho-punk collective.

You seriously don't like any of the many albums they made prior to having that hit single? I find that odd.
-
I was pretty young when that song came out, and I remember giggling like an idiot when I realized the girl was singing "pissing the night away."
HEE HEE! PISS!
-
The Wedding Present
I love this band! They're recording at Electrical pretty soon, if I recall.
-
I used to consider this my favorite song ever when I was like, nine.
Jesus Christ, what a fruit I was.

I genuinely don't.
Never did.

All the tabs open in my browser for this forum are all caps lock. It's not standing out anymore.
That's my contribution to this discussion.
-
Let's turn this into a thread about Gang of Four shall we?
-
that is an excellent idea. this thread is now about gang of four.

The Wedding Present
Also: Bilge Pump, Canvas, Polaris, Fig 4.0, Kito, Snail Racing, Jupiter Lander, Mob Rules, Voorhees, Warboys, Feint, Solanki, War All The Time and a ton of others. I couldn't resist, kind of my specialist subject.
I seem to remember liking Pictures of Starving Children Sell Records alright when someone played it to me. Tubthumping was pretty bad though, and so is their new folk approach.
-
When they sing this live, they normally replace YOU'RE NEVER GONNA KEEP ME DOWN with NEW LABOUR LET US DOWN.
Get it??
-
I was working on a version of Tubthumping re-interpreted, Laibach-style, into a martial-industrial fascist anthem for a compilation CD, but I never got around to recording the vocals, mainly because I couldn't get a german translation to scan.
I did pretty much finish the music though, all it's really missing is some really crunchy marching jackboot samples and maybe some different instrument voices.

I also saw Chumbawamba playing a live acoustic set locally, it was pretty fun, actually.
-
Now this'll be stuck in my head all day.
Fuck you.
-

How on earth does that work? New Labour let us down has like three less syllables.
-
Someone make a Chumbawumba/Crass Mashup for me.
-
I enjoy them! They have some great songs besides that song!
I secretly enjoy that song to though.
-
I used to think that song was rad... but i was 12 then (I think? 1997, yeah?)
Whenever I read the title to this thread, I hear those lyrics the way JD's brain sings it in Scrubs.
-
Fun fact about Chumbawumba: They used to live in a squat about two minutes from my house.
I have nothing else to contribute to this thread.

If it weren't for the character limits I would totally sig that.

protip: screenshot, cut out that above bit, put it in as a gif in img tags. Images in sigs are frowned on here, but only because they look like shit. Most people would never even notice what you've done.

The Wedding Present
Little known fact -- there was a period when The Wedding Present did Ukrainian folk inspired rock. It sounds a little bit like DeVotchKa and Gogol Bordello, and it's rather good (if you're into that sort of thing).
Also, fuck Chumbawamba.
-
What's a good Wedding Present album to start with?
-
That's my favourite Silkworm album I think! That's pretty neat that they did that.
-
Their last one, Take Fountain, was actually a really good album and produced the remarkably catchy "Ringway to Seatac."
-
I read the title as "I GET KNOCKED UP, BUT I GET DOWN AGAIN", and hoped this thread was about unintended pregnancy.
