Sham 69-Hurry Up Harry



A fun geezer band from late 70s early 80s - Sham 69 had some good moments with their anti-social approach and themes of their songs. They were a tongue in cheek anti-establishment - more naughty then changing things. (This is the way we are and we like it type of thing.) I don't think they wanted to move mountains with outrages statements like some bands. They were more harmless fun then the real bad boys of the time - perhaps more honest. This is a song that is going to last long after they are gone. It is one of those that everyone knows but do not always know who sing it. A bit like; Good Byee and Daddy Would Not Buy Me A Bow Wow - a modern day 'everybody knows' song.
