Glorious👊
Fantastic reading of the 'Hit Me' by a guy called Storybear! It's always interesting to see the cultural impact of songs, and how others interpret them!

When I was a young boy I’d go the whole wide world just to find them

Ian Dury, Nick Lowe and Elvs Costello (hiding at the back) are obvious. Wreckless Eric, Larry Wallis, Mick Farren, Norman Watt-Roy and the Attractions (Steve Nieve, Bruce Thomas and Pete Thomas), then I'm struggling.

Imagine outdoing Omar Sharif in the charisma department?? Ian Dury did that. Blimey. 🥰👀
If you've never seen it, The Rainbow Thief is quite an experience (it's by Alejandro Jodorowsky, so not a surprise!). Ian plays a bartender who interacts a lot with Omar Sharif - this is only a few years after the infamous altercation at La Caprice where Omar punched Ian!
