80s, 90s indie band cover of Steptoe and Son?

[doctor-bond]

Maybe losing the plot here, but I could have sworn an old skool indie band like Half Man Half Biscuit or The Wedding Present did a moshy cover of the the Steptoe and Son sound track. It may not have been released but would be done at gigs? Anyone? Anyone …?

Steptoe theme

I thought it was just me that had warped dreams like this?

 

[doctor-bond]

Ha - yes : is it a real memory or the recollection of a dream …. ? (and how many more in there are like that ….)

So the tune is called Old Ned, maybe that might help you track it down. I used to love watching Steptoe as a young boy, hilarious.

Thanks - still no luck in tracking it down, but that got me down a fun Ned’s Atomic Dustbin rabbit holette.

Are you maybe thinking that in Floyd folklore, it is reported that Roger thought Interstellar Overdrive sounded like the Steptoe tune.
I kid you not.

That's a band I often think is missing from Absolute90's playlists, & not connected in any way, but Carter the unstoppable sex machine then springs to mind too.

Carter USM! Fab. More diversions ….

I’ll give you Cud in return.
