In the tradition of the Mr Jones song about worker drones commuting, having heart attacks, wasting away in an office cubicle etc ("Echo Beach", "Cardiac Arrest", "Solitary Confinement", "The British Way of Life", etc)
Despite a Top of the Pops appearance and the support of Radio 1 deejays who liked that sort of thing, "The Worker" was not quite a hit, loitering just outside the Top 50
But Fischer-Z enjoyed more success in Europe, apparently selling a couple of million albums over a long career
And they're still going, all ready to celebrate in 2026 the 50th anniversary of the band's formation
Still plugging away into the Wide Brim Hat era
Clever, perhaps even clever-clever - but are they Clever Dick?
