Back in the distant past when I used to drive my mates around in my Mk2 Cortina-with-a-Big-Yellow-Whippy-Aerial, this Masterpiece was frequently in the cassette player, went all over the place as this played.
Thought I would put a link to it here so any of you youngsters who may have missed it can listen to a bit of history. Its been cut up into 13 videos...
