Yorkshire, England (1966 – present)

Smokie is an English classic rock band from Bradford who found success in Europe in the 1970s. They formed in 1966 in Yorkshire, England and did some early records under the name “Smokey”

One of their top hits was “Living Next Door to Alice”. While touring in Ireland they discovered the audience would cheer back “Who the Fuck is Alice?”. As it turns out , this was a ritual at a Café in Nijmegen (the Netherlands) called “Gompie”. The group decided to “cover” this version with comedian Roy Chubby Brown having the honor of yelling “Alice, Who the Fuck is Alice?” during the chorus.

They hold the record as the first group to have a top ten song with the word “fuck” in it.

    Музыка детства, но и кроме ностальгии масса приятных эмоций.
