    Flashback Friday: Chumbawamba

    Today’s Flashback Friday is a track you love to hate, Tubthumping by Chumbawamba. The one-and-only track ever widely played on commercial radio by the band, Tubthumping is a classic modern drinking song.

    The band was actually formed as far back as 1982, but their only real commercial success comes from when they signed with EMI, which was ironic especially due to the band’s general hatred for the music label. They even participated in a compilation a few years previously called Fuck EMI.

    Chumbawamba has released a few other albums since the 1997 release of Tubthumper, eventually jumping ship at EMI and formed their own label, MUTT Records for UK Distribution. The last the public heard from the band was their performance at London’s Glastonbury Festival in June 2007.

    Enjoy!

    • I love Chumbawamba's album Un. In fact, I had it on the stereo just last week. Social commentary, humor and killer harmonies. There's no one else like them. Grab a copy of Un if you don't already have it. :-)

      You know I hate you right?

      Side note: Not that anyone really cares, but I'm noticing that the ratio of attractive women/men in Arkansas is really very skewed. However, what the women have lost in attractiveness to the men, they've taken from them in intelligence.

      In spades.

      I will say however, that had the 6'3" ex-navy guy been interested, I would have done him. In spite of the fact that he's as dumb as about 8 kinds of dirt.

      Does that make me a bad person?
