After the jump: “Fiesta”.

Because they were too original and didn’t put up with the shit from the music labels. And people would rather sup on the pap that the music labels feed them than look for something on their own that’s original and interesting and different.
Plus, Kirsty MacColl sang on it with them. RIP Kirsty.
