Before Pete Doherty and Blur these were the most most successful mockneys around, and I loved them as a kid. They were also the highlight of the best Xmas party I've ever been, when they played live at Key Production's cockney themed one back in the late 90's. Jellied eels, pie & mash and beer.Mmmm...
In a Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon type thing, Chas & Dave played on Labbi Siffre's "I Got The", subsequently sampled by Dre for Eminem.
"You can keep the Costa Brava,
ReplyDeleteI'll tell ya mate I'd ratha.." (sung in Mockney accent)
Brilliant.
