# 388 Smart Alec - My mummy

Side a: My mummy
Side b: Pretty girls
UK 1980
First of two 7" they made. The band was maybe from Plymouth/South Devon and is very well known for the "Scooter boys" single. Two great self penned mod revival numbers here on this record. Maybe it was only a studio project released by Blue Chip records. I don't know. I like this record but some people hate it (or the band) , haha !!

Y'know I'm always amazed how many of these bands got off more then one single - good for them making it that far and good for you for digging it up for us!

Loving your post, man. I co wrote this with my brother back in 1981. I know it;s a 'Marmite' song, but great fun for Halloween, for sure! Loving that you posted it up, cheers for that.

PS All these years later I got another Halloweeny type song released called Howling At The Moon. Check it out on Spotify.

Funny, I wrote the middle 8, and my name's not on it! The band had a great local following, but the singles belied our style and ability. I can almost hear Bernard Cribbins singing it.

The first single was written by the singer and I, and the whole band is credited! As it turns out, it didn't matter!
