Sham 69 - If The Kids Are United

Sham 69 was a successful punk band from the village Hersham in Surrey, and with "If The Kids Are United" enjoyed their first Top 10 hit in July 1978. It's a perfect punk song, with lyrics calling for unity among kids, basically stating that we are all pretty much the same and that by standing together we can achieve things. Simple-minded you may think, but also true. The clip below is from Top Of The Pops - incredible really to see a fullblown punk band there.
