Heart of a Punk Soul of a Rasta

The F Word
By Professor John Bigot

Violent.
7. Glasvegas - Go Square Go.
"Here we, here we, here we fucking go!" Fist flying, football chanting, rabble rousing, vitriolic Galsvegas magic. Single 2006 WaKS label.

Misogynistic.
6. Bring on the Nubiles - The Stranglers.
Hugh Cornwell went on record to say "Let Me, Let Me Fuck You Fuck You" could, would and possibly should have been "Let Me, Let Me, Love You Love You" but things went a little too far. Yep sure they did. "No More Heroes" album '77.

Dysfunctional.
5. The Downside of Being a Fuck Up - Wreckless Eric.
Pent up self deprecating frustration - no one does it better than Eric - if you can't empathise with this one get a humility check. From the glorious "Wreckless Eric And Amy Rigby" album 2008.

Comic.
4. It Takes a Worried Man - Devo.
A single use of "Fucked UP" beautifully smashes this simple extremely commercial sing a long ditty - joyous people joyous. From the movie "Human Highway" - recorded in '79. Found on "Pioneers Who Got Scalped" 2000.

Insanity.
3. Bodies - The Sex Pistols.
Fuck this and fuck that fucking it all and fuck the fucking brat. Abortion & madness, the marriage of subject matter was perfect from the start. In '77 just to know this record was at home waiting for me screaming out to be played was enough to get me through the mind deadening days at school. "Never Mind The Bollocks" album '77.

Nihilistic.
2. Fuck Forever - Babyshambles
The biggest commercial FUCK of them all, reaching No.4 in the UK chart. Resignation, inadequacy, hopelessness and the big blank - NO FUTURE writ large. 2005 Single.

The daddy.
1. Dead Kennedys - Nazi Punks Fuck Off.
Short, sweet and succinct, probably the greatest twentieth century poem written in the American language. From the "In God we Trust" EP '81. Martin Hannett gets a good telling off too - generally rather than particularly - I think.

I feel good. I think next issue we'll do a general profanity chart - watch the sky people its coming!
