    In Reply to: screen name BT: How did you get the screenname you use on AW? Where does it derive from? posted by nickelmedia on 2008-03-27 09:25:31

    but it originally came from:

    Captain Sensible (born Raymond Burns, 24 April 1954) is a singer and guitarist (and sometimes bassist) who grew up in Croydon, England, and founded the punk rock band The Damned in 1976. After leaving the band, he reinvented himself as an alternative pop singer with a rebellious, self-conscious image

    Sensible had a UK number one hit in 1982 with a bizarre cover of "Happy Talk", the Rodgers and Hammerstein song from South Pacific, featuring backing by Dolly Mixture; this was later sampled for rap artist Dizzee Rascal's 2004 version of the same song. Other hits include "Wot?" (my favorite):

    When I woke up this morning I was feelin' fine
    But this cat starts banging man what a swine.
    So I called reception but to no avail
    That's why I'm telling you this sorry tale.
    I went bang - I said shut up,
    I went bang - I said rap up.
    Well I'm aware that the guy must do his work
    But the piledriver man drove me berserk.

    He said captain, I said wot,
    He said captain, I said wot,
    He said captain, I said wot,
    He said captain, I said wot d'ya want

    Once a lifetime, twice a day
    If you don't work you get no pay.
    I been to the east, I been to the west,
    But the girls I like best are the ones undressed.
    Well, hello Adam, where you been?
    I said a'stand aside 'cause I'm feelin' mean,
    I've had a gutful of you and I'm feelin' bad
    'Cause you're an ugly old pirate and ain't I glad.

    He said captain, I said wot, ...
    He said captain, I said wot, ...
