My review of Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll is in fact a so-called mondegreen. That is, when I first heard Dury�s famous song �Spasticus Autisticus� way back when I thought he was singing artisticus.
I hesitate to mention it, but I was there as well (Stiff Records tour, Leeds Polytechnic c 1978; most of the acts have disappeared without trace but they were successful for a while).

Correction: 1977 - the Live Stiffs Live tour.
Link to YouTube tour video: http://www.nme.com/video/id/bcie3yePbFk/search/Larry%20Wallis Pt 1 is dull but there are several others so it may get better. The tour featured Ian Dury & the Blockheads, Nick Lowe, Elvis Costello, Wreckless Eric and others. It's a long time ago but I think each act only played a couple of songs each with maybe a few more from the better known ones.
