Ian Dury and The Blockheads - I Want To Be Straight [Official Video]

Official music video for "I Want To Be Straight" by Ian Dury & The Blockheads.
Ian Dury was a rock and roll vagabond with the wit, humour and intelligence of Noël Coward and Oscar Wilde. His verbal dexterity as an entertainer and a lyric writer gave the world some of its most famous phrases – “sex and drugs and rock and roll” and “reasons to be cheerful.” He was a true Renaissance man – a talented painter, musician and actor – who left behind a body of work that continues to amuse, impress and delight to this day.

The band The Blockheads may be best known for their hit singles, recorded with Dury, "What a Waste", "Hit Me with Your Rhythm Stick", "Reasons to Be Cheerful, Part 3", and "Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll".
