They did, although the cognosenti amongst the audience concurred that this song represented the time they sold out.
It doesn't take a cognosenti to realise why they would sell out with a tune like that, maybe not one of their classics but a favourite of mine. Good to see they're still doing their stuff.
My mates got them playing at his pub next week.

I've seen them once before mainly as a bit of a laugh. They are entertaining and enjoy a drink, after about three songs though they all sound the same.

I used to work with one of his regulars, sadly he has passed on now a few years back. His name was Bill.
Actually, I always thought " 'Aint no pleasing you" was a hugely under rated piece of work. If someone like Elvis Costello had recorded it, it would be regarded as a classic.
Well, I've lived my life around you
Did what I thought was right
But you never cared about me
Now I've seen the light
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasing you
You seem to think that everything I ever did was wrong
I should have known it, all along
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasing you
You only had to say the word
And you knew I'd do-oo it
You had me where you wanted me
But you went and blew-ew it
Now everything, I ever done, was only done for you
But now you can go and do, just what you wanna do
I'm tellin' you
'Cause I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do you take me for
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasing you
And you seem to think that everything I ever did was wrong
I should have known it, all along
That darlin', there ain't no pleasing you
You only had to say the word
And you knew I'd do-oo it
You had me where you wanted me
But you went and blew-ew it
Now everything, I ever done, was only done for you
But now you, can go and do, just what you wanna do
I'm tellin' you
'Cause I ain't gonna be made to look a fool no more
You done it once too often, what do you take me for
Oh darlin', there ain't no pleasing you
Yeah, if you think I don't mean what I say
And I'm only bluffin'
You got another thing comin'
I'm tellin' you that for nothin'
Oh darlin' I'm leavin'
That's what I'm gonna do-oo...

When the boys had been up and got the cup the Wembley (Remember it, used to be a nice stadium in London) announcer played Chas and Dave songs for about half an hour. Dave just sat looking slightly embarrassed while the whole stadium sung!!
What's the guff about them not performing Spurs songs at their gigs?

I saw Doctor Feelgood there some years back. Brilliant show, the lads in the front row were lighting Lee Brilleaux fags for him.

Stuff about Lee Brilleaux
I agree, Ferg. I saw Lee at Loughborough University in late '85. I'd just been knocked off my Norton Commando, breaking my collar bone and wrist. Lee autographed my plaster cast for me, and I proceeded to boogie myself into agony. One of the best frontmen I've seen, and that includes Freddie and Dave Lee Roth.
I saw Feelgood on countless occasions from the '70s onwards with a wide selection of guitarists (including Wilko) until Lee's death. He looked so ill at the end it so sad. I've seen them a few times since, at the Lee Brilleaux Memorial gigs at the Oysterfleet, Canvey and they have turned ito a pastiche. They aren't a cracking R'n'B band anymore, they are a pub blues band (admittedly a good one) with an ego-fuelled guitarist.
