Sorry 'Punk executioner' it shoulda been. Also forgot about the great bit when the guitar breaks into the intro on PIL's 'Public Image',ABC's 'Martin,do you ever'etc on 'The Look of Love', Marc Almond's whistling on'Mr Sad', when Eno's wurbly synth solos on 'Kings Lead Hat', lyric - 'Bitch looked like Anne Widdecome,was so drunk I gave her one' on Felonius Chunkz 'Beaver Inferno',and who can think of 'Mr Loverman 'without saying ' Shabba' in a dodgy accent .The moment wnen out clubbin', realised that the camp dance track I was dancing badly to was Danny Tenaglia's version of Front 242's 'Headhunter'.
