“Wise Up! Sucker!” by Pop Will Eat Itself

Pop Will Eat Itself put out "Wise Up! Sucker!" on RCA in 1989, lifted from This Is the Day… This Is the Hour… This Is This!, and it's grebo gone cut-and-paste. Graham Crabb, Clint Mansell, Richard March and Adam Mole share the writing credit, and the rest of the sleeve reads like a comic-book roll call: Mr. X & Mr. Y producing, The Buzzard on guitar, Mastermix on the turntables, Twig the Wonder Kid on backing vocals, with Flood mixing and adding production alongside Mark Dodson.

It came in every shape going, the 7-, 10- and 12-inch each with its own edit, the bigger discs leading with Youth's remix, and the flip, "Orgyone Stimulator", was an instrumental stitched from samples of Louise Huebner's Seduction Through Witchcraft. The video has Mansell and Crabb singing over rolling landscapes and comic panels while March and Mole play guitar in front of screens full of themselves.
