DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, PUNK?
|
DO YOU FEEL LUCKY, PUNK?  As commonly believed, Harry Callahan did not say “Do you feel lucky, punk?” in the 1971 Dirty Harry film. He actually said, “You've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?” Yesterday – 19 April – was Record Store Day. First commemorated in a Baltimore record store in 2007 and now spread across many countries, Record Store Day celebrates independent record shops; often recording artists will hang out and even play live at record shops. I only realised it was Record Store day when I went to buy Paloma Faith’s A Perfect Contradiction new CD. There was a queue to get inside my favourite record shop, Fopp. When inside, I noticed the shop was selling a lot of vinyl, particularly punk vinyl. I used to love punk music. My favourite ten punk songs were Slaughter & the Dogs' Cranked Up Really High, X-Ray Spex’s Oh Bondage Up Yours!, Wayne County & the Electric Chairs’ Fuck Off, Ramones’ Sheena is a Punk Rocker, Buzzcocks’ Orgasm Addict, Generation X’s Your Generation, Dead Kennedys’ Too Drunk To Fuck, The Clash’s White Riot, Stiff Little Fingers’ Suspect Device, and Sex Pistols’ God Save The Queen. A while back I did a blog post on album covers, BEST ALBUM COVER. With punk music, it was the single cover and not the album cover that was celebrated. My favourite punk single cover was the God Save The Queen single by the Sex Pistols – see below. Released during the Queen’s Silver Jubilee in 1977, the single reached number 2 in the UK charts despite the BBC refusing to play the song because of its lyrics – here’s the first three verses: God save the queen The fascist regime They made you a moron Potential H-bomb God save the queen She ain't no human being There is no future In England's dreaming Don't be told what you want Don't be told what you need There's no future, no future, No future for you For me, that song symbolises punk’s essence of being anti-establishment. I was only a part-time punk – safety pins and ripped clothes when allowed out, but at boarding school it was a uniform most of the time. I never had sex as a punk, but that would have made me a full-time punk! Have you ever been called a punk? Do you or did you like punk music? If so, what was your favourite punk single and favourite punk single cover?   |

Musically, The Clash were one of the best punk bands, which is why they lasted longer than the late 1970s punk era.

I am just a little too young to have been a punk during the Sex Pistols heyday but I remember it. I can remember arguing with friends that punk was more than just the noise and the "fuck you" attitude. The lyrics highlighted things which were very wrong in late 70s society. Like nearly all musical phenomena, it became sanitised and marginalised by the mainstream. The revolutionary, potentially world changing intentions were lost into the underground. I forgot about it to some extent and became pre-occupied with the escapism offered by Heavy Metal and Progressive Rock. For iconic punk single covers, I'd go for CRASS. - Practically any CRASS single will do. I never saw CRASS records in shops. They were traded and passed from hand to hand leaving a wake of pirate recordings behind them. The covers were made of folded back and white printed sheets and you knew that you were holding an artefact almost certainly touched by the band themselves. I struggle with the anti-nuclear, anti-religion, anti-capitalism stance of CRASS but their methods of working and the social equality they stood for were very powerful ideas - now effectively lost.

I have been called a punk and to validate the comment, headbutted the fucker in the face. I was a bit late to the Sex Pistols but was a big fan of The Clash and Gen-X. I love Radio Clash by The Clash, London Calling is also a favourite. I did wear a safety pin in my ear and the lobe got infected... Covers irritate me no end but although it's not punk, Far Corporation did a better version of Stairway To Heaven than Led Zeppelin, trust me.

It's because it came with insults, "Snot-nosed, know nothing, brainless punk" was the "compliment" from memory. Just pissed-me off...

Oh, I almost forgot this classic tidbit that occurred to me about ten years ago... Hypothetically speaking, who's sense of horror do you believe would be the greater of the two if circumstances conspired to find John Lydon's cock in Elizabeth Regina's mouth?  That's a very tough choice!
