Further Off The Chart 27

Further Off The Chart 27: “Debbie Gibson’s house smelled of wee”

Here we are then, just sneaking in before the end of the month and before the halfway point of the dexy, even though this dexy has eleven weeks in it for reasons that will become clear if you listen to the show. Another round-up of tracks we talked about on Off The Chart, including a song with a title that’s just one letter away from the title of another song by the same band; a quintessentially English song re-recorded in German; and a whole suite of advert-related songs from the pen of the drummer from The Troggs. If you’re not backing us, what are you waiting for? Support us on Patreon or Mixcloud Select for all this and much much more!
