Yes DJ Hollywood. But the BAD version owes more to Busy Bee.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Bit of a tangent, but it'd be cool to have a good soundboard recording of the BAD reunion after they added that second guitarist whose name escapes me. I have an audience tape of the show in Irvine (they did Rob Peter Pay Paul and I thought it was the highlight of the show) but that's about it. Some really phenomenal gigs from that reunion.

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
There was a bit of a discussion about this somewhere (on FB I think) and it appears "mazuma" is slang for money, and it certainly sounds like Mick is saying mazuma in the introduction. Though "consumer" would make sense as well in the context of the lyrics.TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑12 Aug 2022, 4:29pmReturn of the Great Consumer.Heston wrote: ↑30 Mar 2022, 7:01amI'm pretty sure Poontang was recorded.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
I'd love to know the lyrics to that one some day. I've only ever been able to figure out the chorus to it, the rest I can't figure out cause the one recording of it isn't that great.

Re: Rob Peter Pay Paul
Whilst I don't doubt TeddyB for a second regards the title.
Mick definitely announces it as "The Return of the great Mazuma" on the live Brixton Academy December 18, 1987 show.
So here's my attempt at deciphering those lyrics.
"The Return of the Great Consumer"
A song which appears to be about Trellick Tower and the like which Erno Goldfinger (architect) designed.
Everybody had a good view
Use your voice some of it is you
Lose it now or big fund lottery
Maybe I could treat you
If you come with me
No I wouldn't change it
Though I would
To help you down
Top of the mark
It's your new neighbourhood
That's right
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round
Yet this money makes the greeders doubt
People say it's true
That when all we fought
People say to us
We've seen it before
Those zodiac star lit roads don't thrill
Had the same seats at the top of the hill
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round
Yet this money makes the greeders doubt
Over by the works
It's ten o'clock
Bear with me
Well if you like filling up
We'll soon be there
But people get a lick on
This time you have no doubt
I wouldn't change a thing
I'd work my way across
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round
Yet this money makes the greeders doubt
I hope I have a pussy cat
At home right here with me
And if I had some more spare change
I'd show the boss I'm cooking
This cat rolled n' went
To find where I'd put my bloody socks
Before we finish cooking
I think she's getting cross
Everybody tell me your view
Please can you tell me something's that's good
Looking down no streets or lottery
Maybe I could sell it you
If you'd come n' see
No I wouldn't change it
Though I would
To help you down
Top of the mark
It's your new neighbourhood
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round
Yet this money makes the greeders doubt
In for a penny
For every rotten day
I fear to involve you and everything you say
Yes! Everything you say
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round (word!)
Yet this money makes the greeders doubt
In for a penny
In for a pound
London gold can't be found
Money makes the world go 'round
