Ian Dury –“Clevor Trever”
I’ve developed a weird addiction to this song, off Ian Dury’s 1977 album, New Boots and Panties. Like the rest of the album, “Clevor Trever” (sic) is a strange blend of punk, new-wave and disco, and it’s driven by a series of unbelievably good melodies, but it’s the totally maddening double, triple, quadruple negatives and tight, repetitive rhyme scheme of the lyrics that will stick with you long, long, long after you’d have liked them to.
