EI’VE been leaked EAST 17’s comeback single and, let me tell you, it’s brilliant.
But probably not in the way BRIAN HARVEY and the gang hoped.
The increbibly titled F*** That, with 35 uses of the F-word, has unintentionally given me the most laugh-out-loud three-and-a-half minutes I’ve had this year.
It’s due out in the spring.
Brian, JOHN HENDY and TERRY COLDWELL are launching another comeback under the name E-17, without ex-frontman TONY MORTIMER, and their single is a vicious attack on the music industry.
But when it gets on the radio, expect multiple car crashes across the country as drivers double up with laughter.
Then again, the song will probably NOT be played on radio because the language is bluer than in GORDON RAMSAY’s kitchen.
But it would be one of the greatest travesties of our time if it didn’t get heard, so I have put it on my website for you to listen to.
The lyrics include:
“Angry about having my hands tied, musically s*******d, taken for a ride.
“Singing other people’s s**t, making it a hit, it don’t fit.
“Judged everywhere you go, putting on a show, compromising.”
And the chorus scowls: “F*** the industry, f*** the enemy, A&R people don’t know s***.”
Delightful.
Album
And there’s more - Harvey and Co. hope to follow their single with a new album later this year. But if the other songs are at all like this one, the band will be up for a host of comedy gongs this time next year.
During their Nineties pomp with Mortimer, the lads had a string of Top 10 singles and albums and a Christmas No1 in 1994 with Stay Another Day.
Then in 1997 Harvey sparked outrage by boasting about his ecstasy pill-popping and trying to justify taking the drug. The band sacked him and Mortimer left soon after.
But Harvey, Coldwell and Hendy played a reunion show in Liverpool in November and are now eyeing a full-on comeback
But Parental Advice: Explicit and, frankly, ridiculous lyrics.
