Wah! - Somesay
Somesay might be the most rock'n'roll song of all time.
Let me clarify that.
IF rock'n'roll is the sound of defiance AND IF it is about passion and feeling AND IF it is about pumping your fist in the air AND IF it is a sound that enables all of these things THEN Somesay IS the most rock'n'roll song ever. I have loved this music since I first heard it in 1981 and on considered reflection it is still the motherfucking bomb.
Don't be fooled by the album version from Wah!'s earlier Nah=Poo - The Art of Bluff, the recording is anaemic. This is the single - it's shorter, tauter, and it starts loud and stays there. I may be subject to generational bias here, but just listen to Pete Wylie as he sings "Fight the liars" at the end, and tell me this isn't the greatest thing ever. This is music to shout along to. Ain't it the truth.
