This was the 3rd and final Top 40 hit for pub rockers Dr Feelgood. Although pub rock has it's legacy, unsurprisingly it didn't give us many Top 40 hits as it was music for the pub, not the charts.
The popularity of pub rock had already been in decline by 1979 having been overshadowed by punk. Despite this, the bulk of the genres Top 40 success came after the first punk Top 40 hit.
This record was written by Larry Wallis who had previously been one of the founding members of Motorhead and played with several bands over the years.
Dr Feelgood are still going today, though without any original members or members who even played on this record since 1994 when Lee Brilleaux, the last remaining original member died.
