Under the Ice by Nazz
Drums Over London by the Disco Zombies ( a great “should have been” band whose satire may have been too subtle for the masses. Sung from the viewpoint of a xenophobic right-winger, many took it as racist and the song found fans among the crowd the band was trying to critique.)
