"Happy hour" - The Housemartins A song of such jollity and bonhomie that it's obviously covering something up. The lyric: an attack on the sexist culture of the time, which saw women as good for nothing but servicing the desires of rich men. Fashion notes: the drummer and bassist both have t-shirts that were a la mode two years ago. And note how there's something on the scarves waved by the crowd. #TOTP #Housemartins
