Deux musiciens originaires d'Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, John Otway chanteur compositeur et guitariste, Wild Willy Barrett est multi-instrumentiste et opère dans tous les genres, folk, blues, rock psychédélique et s'avère redoutable dans le punk rock. Le duo fonctionne depuis 1972, et obtient son premier succès en 77 avec "Really free", qui atteint une honorable vingt-septième place dans les meilleures ventes de singles. Quatre albums sortent chez Polydor et une poignée de singles dont DK 50/80 qui est un hit mineur... John et Wild Willy signent avec Stiff Records en 80, "Headbutts" paru en 1981 est une fantastique pièce de punk rock à l'humour corrosif... Un coup de tête en pleine gueule!.. .
Went downtown for a cup of tea
And I saw two skinheads looking at me
I gave 'em headbutts (x4)
Walking on the beach in a force-ten gale
And I saw three hippies saving a whale
(Oh, I hate bleedin' hippies! So...)
I gave 'em headbutts
(Now they've gone back to India to get their heads together!)
I gave 'em headbutts (x4)
Went to see me mum, she was drinking gin
But it's me old man's gin, so I kicked her in
I gave her headbutts (x4)
Lots of people in a line
Waitin' for a number nine
Well, not me, I don't
I walk right up to the front
"Excuse me, are you jumping the queue?"
"No, I'm...butting in!"
Went to the doctor's for a pill
"Why was that, feeling ill?"
No, I got an headache!
I got an headache!
Too many headbutts
Too many headbutts
Went to see a band called Shakin' Spear
I gave the singer the old King leer
"Where hast thou been?" he spat
I went "Oi mate - stitch that!"
I gave him headbutts (x4)
Got involved in a head-on collision
With a tanker driver that wondered what hit him
I went through my windscreen...
Through his windscreen...
(There might have been another one in between/
He had double glazing....)
(And what did I give him?)
I gave him a headbutt!
I gave him headbutts (x4)
Met this feller really into sport
Fifth-hand karate, you know the sort
"Cor, d'you give him headbutts?"
"Yeah - just like that!"
I gave him headbutts (x4)
I give it...
Head - Butts!!!

Mon gamin de 17 ans n'arrete pas de prendre la tête avec un pseudo comique youtubeur machin chouette qui s'appelle guillaume guillotin et qui chante "coup de boule". Il n'y a pas à chier John Otway et Wild Willy Barrett c'est quand même plus drôle...
