A very silly single by none other than Alexei Sayle. Released during the height of his popularity playing the Balowski Family in the show "The Young Ones", and is essentially Alexei rapping over a funk beat. The lyrical content is surreal with claims of keeping tropical fish in his underpants (I am NOT making this up!), and "Is there Life On Mars? Is there Life On Mars? Is There Like In Peckham! Is There Like In Peckham".

There is also a verson on the 12" single (Part 4) which is nothing more than Alexei spitting out nothing but cuss-words. Slightly amusing, but not for the faint of heart.

If anyone likes The Young Ones or any of Mr. Sayle's other TV Shows, cop this out,
