Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

And to think some misguided people in the UK used to be 'confused' by his politics because of the Upstarts being bracketed with Oi and the song 'England'.

I knew Mensi personally and he asked my band to play his 60th birthday party a few years back which was a total honour. Had been a fan since I was 14. Gutted is an understatement.

Very cool Heston! I'd go in a heart beat if it was anywhere closer to where I live. Hopefully someone will be able to post some video of the show.
