Malcolm McLaren Something's Jumpin' in Your Shirt

This is a summery track to listen to - off Malcy's 'Waltz Darling' album which I really enjoyed - mixing Strauss waltzes with Rap was something only he could pull off. If you are in a steamy mood watch the video for Madam Butterflyoff the album Fans which brought opera and rap together - I remember seeing a South Bank documentary on it at the time. McLaren may not be much of an artist but he was a great blender of things - a catalyst who brought strands of things together.
Sad to see on tv recently he has been claiming to have managed Adam and the Ants though - yeah right - if taking a 1000 pounds off him in exchange for a cassette of songs s and then sacking him counts as managing...
