LYRICS:
In the deserts of Sudan
And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatán
Every woman, every man
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Je t'adore, ich liebe dich
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me slowly, hit me quick
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
In the wilds of Borneo
And the vineyards of Bordeaux
Eskimo, Arapaho
Move their body to and fro
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
Das ist gut, c'est fantastique
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
It's nice to be a lunatic
Hit me! Hit me! Hit mmmeeee!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
In the dock of Tiger Bay
On the road to Mandalay
From Bombay to Santa Fé
Over the hills to Brixton Academy!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Hit me! Hit me!
C'est si bon, ist es nicht
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me with your rhythm stick
Two fat persons, click, click, click
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
Hit me! Hit me! Hit me!
#IanDury #TheBlockheads #HitMeWithYourRhythmStick
56 yo bassist here, child and disciple of the 70s and 80s. I....never...heard...this...till.... today. How did I miss this? I am blown away, jaw wide open.
No words..This geezer is and forever will be a genius.
I adore Ian Dury and the Blockheads. My mum had polio (my dad did too, but he recovered fully). My mum lived life from the age of four with a withered leg and arm due to polio, she still gave birth to me and my sister, and at one point she was the biggest employer in Stourbridge. She always held up Ian Dury as a role model for people living with polio, and I love him because he was a great singer! And obviously, he reminds me of my lovely Mum.
I miss him after all these years
This song could not be made today....REMEMBER THIS
A standout in a crowd of poets. He tangled words and rhythms into our being and I thank him for it.
I'm 62 and LOVE Ian Dury!
Ian Dury taught me that it's nice to be a lunatic.
I'm 66 and still love Ian..Brilliant.
British at it's very finest. Mad, accentric and funky as heck. Was a young child and loved it then, love it now
That bass line!! Norman Watt-Roy is a bass playing genius!
How he ever managed to assemble such a wealth of talent in one band, I’ll never know.
RIP and long live Ian Dury (May 12, 1942 - March 27, 2000), aged 57
Bass player deserves an award for this one. Awesome.
I can remember my parents taking me & my brother to see Ian Dury & The Blockheads play live at Crystal Palace park U.K as little kids we must have only been 5 & 4 years old they couldn’t get a babysitter that night so took us with them ! The crowd having a great time laughing at seeing these two little kids me & my bro sat high on our parents shoulders going crazy at this song ! Still a favourite song of ours to this day now in our late 40’s - great memory to have 😊
Ian Dury should have been made Britain's poet laureate. His lyrics are so sublime and sharp.
I'm 67 and it still gets me up dancing and the old foot tapping, what a blast! 💥
PUB ROCK GENRE 🇬🇧🍺🎸
Probably one of the most underated artists of our time. Plus, the difficultes that he had with polio. Well, what a fabulous artist and despite what he had to face, day to day, he did this with great humility and dignity. That's why he'll always be great. . He's a gent, a great musical artist, and frankly, a gentlemen .
absolute completely f*cking brilliance. still as amazing over 40 years on as the day I first heard it.
