Before I start todays song of the day, I have to thank Ange Hardy for choosing this song as one of her favourites on a recent local radio show hosted by Tasmin Rosewell. SOTD No. 180 is by a band made famous by their huge hit Tubthumping....the mighty Chumbawamba. But this song is completely different, its a very catchy and up-beat true story about a Mexican man called Wenseslao Moguel, whos name is famous for being on the many lists as being one of the Top 10 Most Amazing Execution Survival Stories. El Fusilado means the executed one...and this song is a real earworm..... youtu.be/avqNCU-xeIQ Chumbawamba were a British alternative music band that had, over a career spanning three decades, played anarcho-punk, pop-influenced music, world music, and folk music. The bands anarchist politics exhibit an irreverent attitude toward authority, and the band has been forthright in its stances on issues including animal rights, pacifism (early in their career) and later regarding class struggle, feminism, gay liberation, pop culture and anti-fascism. The band is best known for its song Tubthumping. Other singles include Amnesia, Enough Is Enough (with MC Fusion), Timebomb, Top of the World (Ole, Ole, Ole), and most recently, Add Me. In July 2012, Chumbawamba announced its decision to end the band. On its website the members stated That’s it then, it’s the end. With neither a whimper, a bang, or a reunion. The band performed three last shows between October 31 and November 3.
