    Inspired choice of a cover. I was six when Tommy Roe's original recording was a hit so I knew the song pretty well. Vic and the Wonder Stuff did a good job upping the energy and groove, even throwing another modulation in at the end. Using a bunch of Whirlpool washers in place of a stack of amps is one of the best visual puns in any music video.

    I was brought up hearing this version of the song on the radio and everywhere it was blasting out. And I'm ashamed I never knew it was Vic and Bob till now!!! What makes it worse is that I remember as a kid a crazy guy in an outlandish outfit and it was Vic all this time!!! Lol

I also remember they did this around the time they starting to make a name for themselves in comedy this was a perfect veachel for them and Vic actually has a decent voice!.

      Yeh he was mate. Sadly, Martin Gilks - the Wonderstuff's drummer is no longer with us. He passed away about 15 years ago after being involved in a fatal motorbike accident 😢
      He was the second ex Wonderstuff members to leave us far far too soon. The original bass player, Rob "the bass thing" Jones died long before Martin Gilks did. He left the band not long after the Hup album back in about 1988-89. Jones left the band and moved to the US, but sadly his problems with substance abuse followed him to America, and within a few years of moving to the US he had died from a heroin overdose 😒
