Ian Dury - "Profoundly In Love With Pandora"

For anyone who read Sue Townsend's book 'The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole 13 3/4' in the 80's was probably a fan of the TV series as well. If you missed it, grab the book now - you are guaranteed some laugh out loud moments. The theme song "Profoundly In Love With Pandora" by Ian Dury, was the icing on the cake. In fact, I couldn't think of a more suitable artist than Ian Dury.

Ian Dury - "Wake up and make love with me"

We all know the hits Ian Dury had in the late 70's... "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick", Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll" and "Reasons to be Cheerful, Part 3" to name a few. His 1977 album 'New Boots and Panties!!' was overflowing with Englishness.... stacked with eccentric and clever songs which were all delivered in his broad accent. "Wake Up and Make Love With Me" was probably more at the Disco end of the fusion of styles he dabbled in. Chaz Jankel was Ian Dury's co-writer for a lot of his songs and this is a good example of them at their peak as a songwriting partnership.
