Punk rock meets Benny Hill. Splodgenessabounds specialized in toilet humour lyrics, many of their songs were about farting and sniggering at sex. With song titles that sounded like a Viz cartoon (Michael Booth's Talking Bum) clearly they were not The Clash. Their live shows feature simulated and some not so simulated sexual acts between singer Max Splodge and his backing singer girlfriend Baby Greensleeves.
Simon Templer released in 1980, was their debut single. It failed to get any airplay but the B-side Two Pints Of Larger And A Packet Of Crisps Please, did. In fact, it became a bit of a radio hit. It pushed the single all the way to #7 in the UK Singles Chart. The BBC situation comedy Two Pints Of Larger And A Packet Of Crisps was named in its honour. It was one of the last releases on Deram Records. Who gave it the catalogue number Bum 01.
