Our song for today is this one, originally a B-side on the "Piccadilly Palare" single, and co-written with Andy Rourke.
What do we think?
Bite your tongue Sir Gregor! 'Fatty' is mah jam, yo!A bit of a stretch to call it ‘underrated’, perhaps, but at least it’s better than it’s reputation. The music and melody are fun, and almost carnival-esque, and the lyrics, albeit very silly, are not without wit. Compared with some of his other lightweight, frivolous numbers, I’d rather listen to this one than Fatty or Kiss Me a Lot.
Surely you jest!Bite your tongue Sir Gregor! 'Fatty' is mah jam, yo!

I can't believe that those songs are even more maligned than the worst stuff on WPINOYB and LIHS.Journalists Who Lie is my guess. Or The Kid’s a Looker.
I quite like this one. Gimmicky sure, but fun to hear every once in a while. A dig to Mick Jagger at the time but now of course the joke in on himself.
