world party world groove / mind guerrilla
this was a free 12' vinyl with record mirror or nme, i picked it up when i was a punk in london in ye olde days of yore. i still have it somewhere.
from the moment i heard this song it registered with me, it's the best protest song i ever heard, best lyrics and how good is that fat sax blasting away, but listen to the girls voice in the backing vocal, it's a fucking sexy song man, cheeky and clever and those lyrics are brilliant.
i think i'm gonna cover this tune.
got to love the whole world baby, got to love it now.
got to love the whole world baby, got to love it now.
just move it to the left and move it to the right
got to move this planet baby clean outta sight
do the mind guerrilla
do the green monkey
gods going to love you
cos gods pretty funky
do the heaven on earth mind
do the fascist star nation
do photograph bloodshed
do the united nation
do the hollywood bus stop
do the ray gun city
do the missile silo
do the million dollar halo
do the young machine tv
do the weekend gold star
do the, do the, do the.
world war three...
talking bout love
talking bout love

Can't say enough about this website – its alot better than mine.
Thanks for posting this. We used to play this on a radio station in Boston, and we only had it on a cart! I was starting to think I was crazy -- I was the only one remembering it! Thanks. It has always stuck in
my head!
Weird story. My dad was a car dealer in the 1970-80s and sold the Radio 1 DJ Peter Powell a car. Somehow, they got talking ending and he ended up coming to our house for Sunday lunch. He brought a bunch of free vinyl promo disks with him and that Record Mirror disk was one of them - my earliest exposure to World Party (I was about 13. Thanks for putting up the lyrics, I love that tune but could never figure them out.
i picked this up originally as a free four track 12" not sure how, four different bands four different tunes, and when i first heard this song it was love at first listen. it's on the arkology boxed set. great lyrics right? and that fat funky sound just makes me wanna dance.
