WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

under the cover's on sunday (with Kirsty MacColl)

Posted over 2 years ago
Kirsty MacColl cover's Billy Bragg's A New EnglandWith Billy Bragg's wonderful song, including a new verse written specially for this release because Kirsty thought the original song was too short. Bragg actually wrote two extra verses but Kirsty combined them into one to score her biggest solo chart hit.After Kirsty's death Billy started to play the song with the extra verse, having always previously stuck to his original form.

  2. Max Load says I've never heard this version before. Thanks. Nicer than the one I've been playing recently, which I think is the straight down the line chart version.
    Check out this live Billy Bragg one. Listen to the blokey blokes singing along with all the words... Softies!
