Oh the smell, and the whiff, and the pong
as the world goes terribly wrong
it’s all just erupted
with earth much corrupted
hold your nose and join in with a song!

I think you’ve summed up world troubles, perfectly Peter!! It made me think of this old track by one of my favourite Brummie groups, City Boy, from way back when. They only had one top ten hit, 5-7-0-5, but this one would definitely end with a whiffy world! I give you, “The Day The Earth Caught Fire” Interestingly, the band was one of the first, produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange, who went on to produce some of the biggest music acts in recent years.

Never heard this before, but really enjoyed it Debbie. Would I run, or would I find a high spot to view the inevitable. I hope I never have to decide!

Me too, Peter..it doesn’t bear thinking about! I’m glad you enjoyed the song, they were a really good band, but started hitting the headlines at the wrong time, just as punk was rearing it’s head, which sort of swallowed them up, here. They did a lot better in the US. I still love their music & clever lyrics.

Wow! Such a long time since I’ve heard this. I wonder how many youngsters adopted this as their anthem at one time in their lives, and then moved on?

You’re welcome Peter. She nailed it with this one. I hope I could too. Just like that. But I’ll probably have an iced coffee 😂
