Plenty of songs about drugs... you've never heard Eric Clapton's 'Cocaine'... or 'Golden Brown' by the Stranglers, that song was about hash.

Lucky for me I stayed drunk during most of the nineties. This music may have caused me to abuse hard drugs.

This Song is A combination of the Prodigy and the Bitmap Brothers.
Although the first weren't around at the conception. One of the best songs of the Shamen, IMO.

OMG!!!! After 30+ years I have finally FOUND this track!!!!!! I've been desperately searching for this, all I remembered was: "Ah ha ha ha?!!" And I thought the lyrics were "Edgerbert-something?!!" I thought I'd never see this again, I also knew that this track was English made as well....Search over, playlist forever!!!!

Kasper Joonatan

English is my second language, and I still do not know wtf he is saying.

I had no idea what this song was about at the time. Can't believe how audacious The Shamen are!

Scott Devanny

11y↑17

It was so cleverly written that a lot of people still don't get it. One way, it's about this guy called Ebeneezer Goode; another way, it's about ecstasy: "E goes by the name of Ebeneezer Goode. E's friends call him Eezer, and E is the main geezer and E vibes up the place like no other man could. E's refined, E's sublime, E makes you feel fine." I mean, come on. But even fans think the only E is in the chorus. Cannot believe that Mixmag tried to get this banned, LOL ;) BBC were ok with it though

I remember when this came out in the 2nd year of high school after a PE class everyone singing "Es are good, Es are good" and the teacher shaking his head. Three years later in '95 I confirmed The Shamen were correct: Es are good, actually they're fucking awesome but good luck making a pop tune with that as the chorus.

MizterNice - The system never understood the youth. They tried to, so they can sell to them and squeeze money out of them, but never to actually understand what's behind it.

Glen Booth Although it should be said with more and more clean synthesis routes being closed by outlawing precursors, more and more crap enters the synthesis process.

What you get today isn't really good E anymore.

From the bottom of my heart - I'm so bummed I missed all the fun during the 90's... I was born in 91, and don't get me wrong, theres a lot of cool stuff going on, but seems like the 90's had something special that got lost over the years. To all you 40-50 year olds out there, fucking lucky bastards!

Richard Burns

3y↑1

Cheers dude, we had a riot, no dancing holding a phone aloft, just tunes, endless summers and good times, the music gripped you till 8am and beyond. Early 90s were the best, Italia house techno, early rave and dance. We organised massive raves without mobile phones or social media! You couldn't do it now, everything is organised and discussed online and it's all monitored. A DJ, an MC, a set on some pallets, several hundred lads n lasses in a field or warehouse, that was us till dawn.......

As a 13y/o in school, I was so proud of the fact I knew this word-for-word and could sing it in time to the music perfectly. Sadly I remember doing it during a Science class when the teacher was out of the room.

To think that's not even on YouTube or Facebook!
