The Undertones : Jimmy, Jimmy
On April 22, The Undertones single "Jimmy,Jimmy" b/w "Mars Bars" entered the U.K. charts at #57. The single, featuring a cover shot of singer Feargal Sharkey holding a trophy he won at an Irish cultural festival, would peak at U.K.#16, the first of four Top 20 hits for the band from Derry. It's an upbeat rocker about a sickly boy that ends with the line "Now little Jimmy's gone /He disappeared one day/ But no one saw the ambulance /That took little Jim away".
The B side satirically praises Mars Bars for the energy giving glucose and strength building caramel. Sharkey tells David Bowie there is indeed life in Mars.
