Ah, good old August Darnell, for Kid Creole is he, and his marvelous bunch of coconuts! Of course, undetermined parentage has been the source of many songs and films such as 'Billie Jean' and 'Mama Mia' but never quite as funny or tongue-in-cheek as this:
'You see if I was in your blood, then you wouldn't be so ugly!'
The band recorded on ZE Records (useless fact: the Z in ZE Records came from Michael Zilkha, the son of the owner of Mothercare) who have recently released a number of compilations entitled 'Mutant Disco' featuring not only Kid Creole but spin offs and luminaries e.g. The Coconuts, Coati Mundi, Cristina, Lio & Was (Not Was) - I highly recommend them if you like this sort of thing.
