Instant Funk - Looks So Fine - Salsoul Records SA 8545 - 1982

The last song on this record is called Punk Rockin' but it certainly isn't. The lyrics seem to describe a dance but I can't see any connection to punk whatsoever.

Graham Preskett ‎- Sunburst - KPM Music KPM 1267 - 1981

Not all library music references to punk are created equal.

Toni Santagata - I Love The Punk (Ai, Lavete Punk) - Carosello CI 20459 - 1978

Toni loves the punk, just not as much as disco.

The Rotten Eggs - Punk Nursery Rhymes - Golden Editions TVNZ-9 - 1981

A fan of 'The Newz' writes about how 'The Rotten Eggs - Punk Nursery Rhymes' came to be:

"I’d been up to Tandem Studios about five years earlier, as a member of ‘The Newz’ fanclub. The band was briefly back from Melbourne and were recording’ Punk nursery rhymes ‘ as ‘The Rotten Eggs’ for Music World. They were making the songs up as they went along. I’d not known you could do that."

Dr. Sadistic And The Silverking Crybabies ‎- Pyramid Punk - Hospital Records 81611 - 1980

Probably the best thing about this record is the phony medical records included in the insert. And probably the worst thing is the music.

Flint And Wozo - 25 Years Of Pop - Music DeWolfe ‎DWS/LP 3466 - 1981

The punk song on this fairly self-explanatory library record is the second time Colin Tucker and John Hyde got punky together for DeWolfe with 'Who Do You Think You Are?'

Wozo - Chartbreakers - Music De Wolfe ‎- DWS/LP 3513 - 1983

Prolific library composer John Hyde is responsible for this record full of pop and rock styles of various eras. Anarchy is the token punk song.

Flint And Wozo / Colin Lloyd Band ‎– Badly Bruised, Slightly Stoned - Music De Wolfe ‎– DWS/LP 3394 - 1978

Colin Tucker and John Hyde teamed for this library record for De Wolfe. The most interesting songs are Punk Rock, Chat Show and Badly Bruised, Slightly Stoned.

Three Souls In My Mind ‎- Fiumos, Somos Y Seremos - Peerless E-16055-0 - 1987

Blues-rock band 'Three Souls In My Mind' did the Intrepidos Punks theme for the biker-punk 1983 film of the same name, but didn't release it on a record until this one came out in 1987.

Les Marylènes - Le Beau Tetard Sur Son Cigare - Vogue 107-45.V.159 EC - 1978

After Martin Circus released the Beach Boys 'Barbara-Anne' cover song 'Marylene', the band was accompanied by a dancing troupe called Les Marylènes. I read that they were backed by the band Bulldozer, which is basically a bunch of Martin Circus members anyway, but this is the best thing Bulldozer ever did if that's true.







A bad translation of the lyrics:

Hey hey! You see there on his cigar? 
Hey hey! You see what I see? The beautiful tadpole! 

More than a flashy slot 
Plastic jacket, helmeted, gloved, wolf eyes 
This boy makes tilt in our hearts 
When we see him tumble down on his chopper 

He is great, he pep, a star next 
There is extra super extra ... 

It is the king who defeated the union 
The President of the kingdom Shanty Happiness 
Oxygen from those who love fresh air 
Jam Fly girls leaving their mother 

He is great, he pep, a star next 
There is extra super extra ... 

Hey! Hey hey! Hey! Hey hey! 
Hey! Hey hey! Hey! Hey hey! 

Hey hey! You see there on his cigar? 
Hey hey! You see what I see? The beautiful tadpole! 

They say he drag his bike 
Too bad for us, we hovered a little too! 
Against a girl, we had a chance 
Against his machine, of course, is lost in advance 

He is great, he pep, a star next 
There is extra super extra ... 

The beautiful tadpole, it is great on his cigar! 
The beautiful tadpole, he pep, a star next.
