Written in protest at ‘The International Year of Disabled Persons’, Ian Dury, who himself contracted polio, dubbed it an ‘anti-charity’ song. The lyrics display his variant of cockney slang: ‘I wibble when I piddle / Cos my middle is a riddle’, and its chorus parodies Spartacus’s defiant cry. It was banned by the BBC and other broadcasters, yet it was part of the Opening Ceremony of the Paralympics in London in 2012.
