For those of a certain vintage, Eddie & the Hot Rods anthemic 'Do Anything You Wanna Do' is still a call to arms like no other.
You could have spent those years since 1977, running your own IT company and you have a decent mortgage-free house in a north Essex village; your kids might have gone to Uni and done very well for themselves, but when you're driving your Merc down the M11 and that line 'Why don't you ask them what they expect from you / Why don't you tell them what you are gonna do' comes up, you press that button to get the window down, and shake your fist out at the passing traffic like you're a snotty teenager in skinny jeans who's lost a safety pin out of his T shirt.
...errr... or so I've heard anyway.
This isn't that version of the Hot Rods sadly, as the great Barry Masters passed away in 2019, but 'It Feels Like Christmas' has still got a anthemic punky edge and a great guitar riff. Oh, and bells and kids....yes, bells and kids.
Still, I've had my eyes lasered and I don't need no optician to tell me what I oughta see.
