Was watching a Comic Strip documentary (recorded in 1979) from the box set and at one point about 2 thirds into the thing, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders and some others are dancing to a Fall track which is playing in the background. I thought I knew every Fall track ever, or at least until 1992 when they started to get crap. They are credited at the end but I have no idea what the track is. any ideas?

describing it might help people identify it.

Yeah, give us a lyric or two.

The only lyrics I can make out (It's very lo-fi) are 'See how good we are" and "Queen Victoria" I guess it may be 1980, not 79 as the Comic strip do a bang on piss take of Dexys on a song called 'pop up toaster'. The drumming is quite clearly Mike Leigh. The nearest sounding Fall song I can think of is "A figure walks" but it's definitely very Dragnet in sound.

Wonderful song though.

If its any help, the film was directed by Julian Temple and contains the following credit:

Incidental music:
Furious Pig.
The Fall.

Just listened to the version I have on cd but, although there are some similarities it is definitely a different song. Might well be an early version of that song with different lyrics as the only copy i have is taken from the b side of 'how I wrote elastic man'. The one on the film appears much faster and with the drums more to the forefront.

Thanks though. You may well be right with the song but not the version.
