Going with The Specials, as we sung that tune many a times very drunk, and in second would be The Business - Drinkin' 'n' Drivin', which is so much fun!!! [:p]

Just an illusion. The more you guys drink the bigger and better anything looks. [:)]

"Nips" is slang downunder for shots/shooters... those keep getting bigger, but I do like the way you think '82!!! [}:)][:p][;)][:D]

^ *snarf* thanks for clarifying the Australian-way for '82 Glokstadt ;-)

The order of recognition of 'NIPS' in Australia would probably be:

1. Slang for Asian New Arrival students into Australia - Was 'big' in the 80's as a racial taunt. (tut tut)

2. A shot of alcohol

3. A nipple (brown/pink-nosed-chest-puppy)

This led to the first interpretation of this song, particularly by the 12-17 year old bracket at the time as a racial taunt itself.

An obvservation by myself at the time was that those who dare sing it aloud risked a swift kick in the head by often poor troubled and confused young asian students [;)]

Very close between Wunderbar and To Hell With Poverty. I went with Gang Of Four.
Another worthy candidate would have Two Pints Of lager And A packet Of Crisps, Please by Splodgenessabounds.



We didn't sell a lot of records, but somehow we left an impression.

Just to clarify.....Yes, I do know what a "nip" is, I was just being facetious.

If we're going to drag Spirit of the West into this then The Crawl needs to get some consideration...

Tenpole Tudor.Wow,bought that album the last year I lived free (at home) and played the shit out of it with an English couple in a rental across the road.Much alcohol was consumed listening to this,Billy Idol,Ultravox,etc.The funny thing is this English couple never heard of Tenpole Tudor but we thought the first track Swords of a Thousand men was killer.The etc in this post was Springsteen,
Nugent,Seger,Reo etc,etc.Remember it was 1981.
