Professor Wurzel's Disc Notes:
This single is another Wurzel classic
hit. Once again, as with some previous hits, it was a parody,
this time based on the 1967 UK instrumental hit ‘ I Was
Kaiser Bill's Batman' by Whistling Jack Smith, written by
Roger Greenaway and Roger Cook. Since the original song
was an instrumental, The Wurzels and Bob Barrett are credited
on the record for 'special lyrics'. The single hit the charts
at number 32 in June 1977. The title track was taken from
the band's latest LP ‘Give Me England' - the ‘b' side is
a nippy little jaunt which has since only appeared on compilation
albums.
