Killing Joke: Eighties

Track of the Week - 25 September 2022

This week an elderly lady of my acquaintance had a birthday. It would be ungentlemanly of me to reveal her age but this song may or may not be appropriate.

'But, Mr Tea at Johnny's', I hear my reader cry, "surely Eighties by goth/post punkers Killing Joke which was released in April 1984 and reached number 60 is about the 1980s and not somebody's age."

And I reply - you're correct but it's a cracking tune and was on a video jukebox* a lot when I was a lad, most likely in the bar at the Oasis Leisure Centre.

* for any young people reading it was like a tiny portion of YouTube you put money in to make work.
