The Jam – Town Called Malice Lyrics 19 years ago
The bassline is a nod towards Motown music (Detroit in the US is Motor City or a Motor Town, they produced cars, so Motown) and the song was released in 1982 as a double A side with Precious.
The significance of The Jam playing both tracks on Top of the pops was because the last time that had happened was in 1965 when the Beatles did We can work it out/Day Tripper on one edition of ToTP. Oasis repeated this feat in 1995/1996? The dates elude me.
