A song named Derrida

Tonight I learned, from that great font of knowledge that is Wikipedia, that there exists a song called "Jacques Derrida". It's by the band Scritti Politti, which paid cheeky musical tribute to the (then not-) late, great deconstructionist on its 1982 debut album.

The song is a rather dated, sped up bassanova (a mediocre sound file is available at the first bullet point here), but some of the lyrics make me laugh, most notably

He held it like a cigarette
Behind a squandee's back
He held it so he hid its length
And so he hid its lack

Also, singer/songwriter Green Gartside pronounces it "Jacques DerEEda".

Yes yes. I'm too easily amused.

P.S. The most recent Scritti Politti CD, White Bread, Black Beer, is worth a spin.
