... and I thought I'd jump in.  I know my tastes differ from yours,
Craig, so I'll try and be objective!

It's the same song as on ICU's _Pass Out_, and then rejigged as
"Strontium 90" on _PoT_.  Quite poppy, restrained but distinctive vocal
from Mr Sumner.  Nice singalong stuff.  Even a friend of mine who used to
work at Sellafield liked it!

I tended to prefer the ICU version, though, mostly for the line you can
just hear as it fades out, "ram it up your shit-hole, Mrs T!"

Is that a cover of Nik Kershaw's "I Won't Let My Mum Go Down On Me"?
