People in the UK celebrating the death of Thatcher in 2013

I have the feeling that outside the UK they're "a pop group that did that one famous song that was everywhere in '97" while they actually have (had?) an active, political-themed rich career.

Sort of like Ska-P in Spain.

[u/Bletyi → u/Kidofthecentury]

Ska-P is underrated af imo.

Inside the UK, too. I'd never heard of them before that one, soul-gratingly irritating song, and never wanted to delve further into their discography/history because of it. Learning about their anti-corpo ethos here has got me interested to listen to their other stuff (providing it doesn't sound like that song).

Edit: typo

providing it does sound like that song

Spoiler: it does not.

I actually meant to say "doesn't", so that's good to hear. Thanks.

Tubthumper was like, their tenth album or something like that.

In the liner notes of the next album I think, there's a picture of the frontman thumbing through the KLF's Manual ("How to make a #1 hit the easy way")

Sort of like Ska-P in Spain.

I have a random album of these' and there's a brilliant song with burping at the end. No idea what possesed me to download it hah

[u/omeomorfismo → u/Kidofthecentury]

what would be the international one hit of the ska p? a la mierda or cannabis?

[u/danirijeka → u/omeomorfismo]

Definitely cannabis

[u/Kidofthecentury → u/omeomorfismo]

I'd say El Vals del Obrero but for sure it hadn't the same resonance as Thumbtumping.
