Supercute! - Dumb Dumbs

We featured this powerful piece social commentary on the dangers of modern hallucinogenics way back in PMB043. We're delighted to say that the video for this song has finally been released:

Time to tackle another Big Theme on the show this week. Yes, we thought it was high time we tackled the intoxicating world of drugs. This was largely prompted by a rather wonderful new single from teenage sensation SUPERCUTE! which gently mocks the classic anti-drugs song.

We also have tracks from, amongst many others, Alan Lorber, Alan Hawkshaw, The Uncle Brothers, Harry "The Hipster" Gibson, er, Nurse With Wound and, yes, once again a track from Wing! You can also hear what several of the key players in Looney Tunes cartoons have to say on the subject.

This week's show (which will be out later today) is all about intoxication, hallucination and mind alteration as we tackle another Big Theme, namely that of DRUGS.

It's amazing how many truly terrible anti-drugs songs have been made over the years (particularly in the 80s). So as a teaser for this week's show, here's what we think could be the worst/best example of this genre of music:

If anyone knows anything about this project and whether the "band" released anything else of equal magnificence, do please let us know.
