It's easy to forget that the band that brought us Tubthumping are actually full on, woke as fuck, antifascists.

Chumbawamba - The Day The Nazi Died
We're told that after the war the Nazis vanished without a trace
But battalions of fascists still dream of a master race
The history books, they tell of their defeat in '45
But they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi diedThey say the prisoner at Spandau was a symbol of defeat
Whilst Hess remained imprisoned and the fascists, they were beat
So the promise of an Aryan world would never materialize
So why did they all come out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi died?The world is riddled with maggots; the maggots are getting fat
They're making a tasty meal of all the bosses and bureaucrats
They're taking over the boardrooms, and they're fat and full of pride
And they all came out of the woodwork on the day the Nazi diedSo if you meet with these historians, I'll tell you what to say
Tell them that the Nazis never really went away
They're out there burning houses down and peddling racist lies
And we'll never rest again until every Nazi dies -

And we'll never rest again until every Nazi diesChumbawamba are actually quite a fascinating band. Not least because they're called Chumbawamba, and not Chumbawumba,
But yeah, they were out there plugging away for 15 years before Tubthumping came along and made sure everyone knew who they were. Well, who they thought they were.
Anyone who'd heard literally any of their music before would have known that they weren't really a super-pop Top 40 band. And aside from that one outlier, they never were.
Danbert Nobacon pouring water over John Prescott's head wasn't at ALL out of character for Chumbawamba, but the media wanged on like they'd done the band a favour and all they got in return was aggro.

@DJDarren
Woke AF! They had a song criticizing homophobia as the "worst disease" back in the 1990s.And also one of my all-time faves: "Do you suffer from long-term memory loss?" "I don't remember."

Their debut album (from my own collection). August 1986.
