Peter Laughner – Amphetamine (1975)
I can’t resist an obvious segue.
Sadly, I couldn’t find any tracks called Lemsip or Paracetamol or Ibuprofen.
So you’ll have to make do with Amphetamine. Fortunately, this is a simply wonderful song composed and performed by Peter Laughner who was a founding member of Pere Ubu, one of the great bands of the last 40 years! I love this solo rendition but there are also great archive recordings of the track being performed by Rocket from the Tombs who were, effectively, Proto Ubu.
Check here. First the Laughner solo, then Rocket from the Tombs original, then Rocket from the Tombs reunion!
All good.
