I first heard this song on ‘The Tube’ in December 1983 when Adele and the ‘Indians In Moscow’ were featured on the programme. Until that time I had never heard of them but I loved this song so much I rushed out and bought the twelve inch single.
Unfortunately I think I may have been one of only a few people who did as the ‘Indians In Moscow’ never really achieved the fame that I think they rightly deserved. The opening line of the song is ‘I just killed my father!’ but on the B side was a sanitised version which started with ‘I just kissed my father!’ and was altogether much more sugary sweet, however I much prefer the original. Maybe the subject of committing patricide using ‘blunt edged play scissors’ was too much for mainstream pop back in 1983 and that is why this was never a number one, but I am certain that if there were released today where almost ‘anything goes’ with regard to the subject matter of a song then I am certain this would have been massive!
I have just found this on itunes and am downloading this as I write!!
Now listen to the song….
