Story time: The first time I heard this song was getting out of US Navy boot camp. I walked into my barracks room, and my bunkmate was drunk and knew I was fresh out of boot camp and the same age as him (older compared to who you would think would join the military). The first sound I heard was this song when I walked in. He is deadpan and blanked-face when he casually turns to look at me and asks while pointing at the screen, "You know anything about this song?" I responded with "No, but I'm always happy to learn new things." Guy was my drinking buddy for over 2 years.
I hope it's the censored version because if I hear "start a war, start a nuclear war" in my headphones, I will be tempted to send an ICBM, I know that.

I'm not generally a fan of censorship, but that's hilarious 😄

They're a very prolific band, and released almost an album a year from then until about 2020.
Abd have released 2 albums since then I think.
Señor Smoke and Switzerland are both fun albums.

The Bush Blair version was the best
