187. Button On A Shirt by The Works

Button On A Shirt by The Works

From 1979, the year Little Murders released our first record came this mighty gem of a record. I was an avid collector of Australian seven inch records, especially those in the power pop vein and this one was brilliant from the first guitar line. It just powers along.
Me and my friend Johnny loved the line
You tell me to go and get Gidget
But all the Gidgets have been got...superb!
This was one of a bunch of Australian Indie singles I've been touting around my friends since the early 80s. Later I would put them on CD. Sometimes you just can't believe that a record of this would become obscure. Wheres the justice? I even had to make the video you see here cos there was none on You Tube. Actually I'm going to try and get my band to cover this song. It's perfect for Little Murders.
You're just a button on a shirt
you ain't even worth getting mad about!
