Peter and the Test Tube Babies - Spirit of Keith Moon - Video
PUBLISHED:  Jun 11, 2010
DESCRIPTION:
Peter and the Test Tube Babies are a punk rock band formed from a small town Peacehaven, England in 1978 by Del Strangefish and Peter Bywaters. Due to their humorous tongue-in-cheek lyrics, they have been considered part of the Punk Pathetique subgenre.[1] Peter and the Test Tube Babies were first featured in Sounds magazine in July 1980, and after a John Peel Radio One session, made their vinyl debut on the Brighton compilation album Vaultage 78. They also had two songs on the seminal Oi! compilation Oi! the Album in that same year.[2] They favoured absurd lyrics and strange titles, such as "The Queen Gives Good Blow Jobs."[3] In 1982, they covered the chart-topping Gary Glitter hit "I'm the Leader of the Gang (I Am)" on their album Pissed and Proud. They have continued to perform in the 2000s. Their polished, professional live show is in contrast to the non-serious nature of their lyrics.

As I stood in the lobby waiting for my key, I felt something strange happening to me.
I rushed up to my room and shut the door, the room was empty but I weren't alone no more.

Well a voice spoke to me but it weren't my own, someone was coming thru' on the psychic telephone.
He said "Hi Arsehole" I'm coming thru', let's have some fun now and smash up this room.

I wanna throw things out the window, I wanna smash up the room.
'Cause I've been possessed by, the spirit of Keith Moon.

Well out the window went the TV followed by the phone, then we covered all the walls with fire extinguisher foam.
We tore the sink from the wall and let the bath overflow, then watched it hit the pavement, ten floors below.
