Obscure? Kevin wants his money back.

 

[butchersapron]

Also, what conference?

Great band!

Compared to the dire, hairdryer stadium rockers that most politicians employ, I'd say it's obscure!

Also, what conference?

Last year

 

[Hocus Eye.]

I don't understand why an item of news from last September is being brought up now. Too much Googling I suspect.

 

[Louis MacNeice]

What else would the chairman of the board use?

There is no such thing as too much googling especially when it brings us gems like this.

Wikipedia suggests the A side of that single was "Try On My Love for Size"; perhaps that was more suited to conference entrance music.

Not obscure, I heard it a lot on the radio when it first came out.

I'm guessing you're not a 20-something pop picker.

 

[charlie mowbray]

It got to no 20 in British charts and stayed there several weeks so not obscure

The Chairmen of the Board were a great group, and before that they were called the Showmen and produced some fine records then too.

 

[danny la rouge]

Let's agree it's a great tune. (But if obscure now means "stuff from the olden days" then I feel even older than I did a few moments ago. ).

 

[charlie mowbray]

Praps this should be for those who thinks the sun shines out of JC's arse and should be automatically played at rallies

Well same lead singer but otherwise different groups. Personally I'm not as fond of the Chairman of the Board as I was at the time, but that's nothing to do with Corbyn.

I meant to a modern youngish audience who are perhaps more used to fists in the air stadium singalongs at their political conferences,

At the moment this might work:

[charlie mowbray]

well, alright just General Norman Johnson in the Chairmen. I believe both groups still exist despite Johnson's death in 2010

 

[charlie mowbray]

Or mebbe Jezza should have played this:

 

[Ground Elder]

Or this

Some folks don't understand it
That's why they don't demand it
They're out tryin' to ruin
Forgive them for they know not what they're doin'

 

[Ground Elder]

I was half thinking about going to see Chairman of the Board, as it happens.

Tickets are £3.92 a month, but if you actually want to go you have to pay an extra £25.

Theme for the next conservative conference.

 

[Nice one]

if it'd been something from the skin i'm in, then maybe

 

[danny la rouge]

You're all wrong, he clearly needs to use:

 

[Louis MacNeice]

Or just:
