One from the ever eclectic B A Roberston, this nevertheless always struck me as an odd subject for a pop song – especially one with a punk sensibility.

Intriguing certainly, though it doesn’t seem to have been a hit.

The clip is taken from The Kenny Everett Video Show.

B A Robertson: Saint Saens

Glasgow’s own B A Robertson’s first UK hit. From 1979.

After a small flurry of hits he graduated to writing songs for others including hits for Cliff Richard and Mike and the Mechanics.

Here he is “performing” the single on Top of the Pops.
