chas and dave were (hopefully) two beardy guys, who dresssed as carpenters,
played the piano and shouted irritatingly jolly songs at you in cock(er)ney
slang. in england alone, they had about 50 hit records w/ i think at least
one number one, and some sort of football records. i think they were spurs
fans. a sample lyric would go something like "i don't care, i don't care, i
don't care if e comes round ere." notice how they cleverly avoid just
shouting "i don't care" four times, that could have been so easy.
the most idm thing about chas and dave is vvm/- aunty farm and uncle
howell's - chesh'n'dave done like kippers.
