Ian Dury & The Blockheads : Spasticus Autisticus

This was written by Ian Dury in protest at the International Year for Disabled Persons (1981), which he felt was patronising. Dury himself had polio which he was thought to have picked up when he accidentally swallowed infected water in a swimming pool. I personally love this song and listen to it a lot. I think it is wrong to censor something because of fear that people will find it offensive. There are probably a lot of disabled people, or spastics as they used to be commonly called, who love this song.
