In light of recent events of people turning their backs on an anthem, I was wondering if Window cleaners had an anthem what would it be. ( not a political post please, politicians will screw us either way!)

my contribution reflects how I came about becoming a window cleaner.

 Feel free to contribute your suggested anthem, “Stick it to the Man” my fellow Glass Technicians!




 
No reason for choosing this tune only for the fact that it’s my favourite record of time, and something my mates and I regularly moonstomp too on our ska weekends, and that’s ‘night boat to Cairo’ by Madness ?

Thats a play list right there! 

Going down the blondie option, for some of my competition could have gone with her song  “X offender” ?

I too like a good cover. 

Have you heard ‘heard it through the grapevine’ by Creedence Clearwater revival? Awesome.

My mates and I have just formed a band called ‘Duvet’.

We’re a cover band ?. Sorry 

Also Toots and Martals originally did ‘monkey man’, but I prefer the version by The Specials. 2 tone at its very best ?

Now you are talking, creedence clearwater revival are up there in my top favourites ?. Green river is arguably my go to track but the whole album is phenomenal.

as with johnny cash the music has me daydreaming to times long ago where the world just seemed a bit more pure and fun.

When you look at what makes the charts these days it horrifies me, i was born far too late. Most of it seems to be marketed towards 16 year olds and you just think how on earth does this even make the radio never mind sell.

I too love a bit of Johnny Cash, However my favourite artist in that type of genre is Glen Campbell.

Went to Wembley two weeks back to watch The Who. Still rocking it to this day
