"I Wanna Be a Flintstone" is the Screaming Blue Messiahs at their most gleefully deranged, a cut from their 1987 album Bikini Red that turns a cartoon fantasy into a full-throttle rave-up. Bill Carter sings it and slashes away on guitar, and he wrote it with Tony Moon, while Chris Thompson's bass and Kenny Harris' drums stampede along underneath. Vic Maile produced it, Harold Burgon and Ian Caple engineered, and Chris Lord-Alge mixed it with enough punch to make the whole thing leap out of the speakers.
