Ian Dury and the Blockheads recorded "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" in late '78, but it hit the top of the pops in the UK and was released here in early '79. Dury was steeped in the British Music Hall tradition and put out a string of hits, the best remembered being "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll". He also did some acting, and an excellent biopic of him was put out a few years ago starring Andy Serkis. Here's Dury and the Blockheads doing "Hit Me" at the Concerts for Kampuchea later in 1979. Enjoy!
