"..that’s the thing with songs, with literature, with art, theatre, cinema, with most of the beautiful, creative, cultural things we love – they are very rarely created by those on the political right. The bigots don’t have any good songs of their own"
Chumbawamba's Boff Whalley on the appropriation of 'Tubthumping' by the far right.
"The song changed everything. Before ‘Tubthumping’ I felt we were in a mess. We had become directionless and disparate... It’s not our most political or best song, but it brought us back together. The song is about us – as a class and as a band."
