do it

i have no idea who the ppl in this nsfw vid are, but the song is "do it" by the pink fairies, a kind of proto-motorhead that evolved out of the deviants (see rich deakin's keep it together!: cosmic boogie with the deviants and the pink fairies for the whole tawdry tale). i first got wind of this song in the very first greg shaw "juke box jury" column i ever read in creem magazine when i was 14. i usedta have it on the triple lp of the first glastonbury festival, which i bought primarily for the david bowie and pete townshend tracks thereon, but also had my first exposure to these guys, hawkwind ("silver machine") and, um, the grateful dead ("dark star") via its grooves. i wouldn't mind hearing the me-thinks covering this song. or, um, stoogeaphilia. (henry rollins also covered it, but the vid was much too long to embed here.)
