Chas & Dave - Ain't No Pleasing You

I don't really expect anyone outside of the UK (or London for that matter) to understand the phenomenon that is Chas & Dave. Suffice to say they are a blend of music hall/cockney knees-up/have-a-banana/pub-rock that was strangely popular in the late 70s. This could have been anyone of a number of tracks (especially 'The Sideboard Song') but the sight of them performing this in white dinner jackets with a full string section always makes me laugh. Undergoing something of a resurgence having played Glastonbury a couple of years ago and feted by Pete Doherty of all people...


Bonus Clips: The aforementioned 'The Sideboard Song'.


... 'Rabbit'.

... and finally a lovely acoustic rendition of 'Ain't No Pleasing You' from 2013.
