Dr. Marten's boots
1982, written by Alexei Sayle and radical posture

It's not class or ideology,
Color, creed, or roots
The only thing that unites us
Is Dr. Marten's boots
Dr. Marten's boots of the world
So that everybody can be free
They're classless, matchless, ageless and waterproof
And retail for only 19 pounds and 99p



This particular song is a fragment from the 1980s BBC cult comedy "The Young ones". In this series Alexei Sayle makes regular guest appearances in various guises: i.e. dressed up as Mussolini, as landlord Jerzy Balowski ("Ah, coca cola! symbol of free west!") and as a vampire.

Alexei Sayle is a comedian, writer and apparently now ex-communist.
