Abstract
In 1981 the Fun Boy Three single ‘The Lunatics Have Taken Over the Asylum’ was a hit.
Written by Terry Hall who’d previously be lead singer for the Coventry band The Specials, he wished to make clear his concerns about UK and US leaders Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan and their advocacy of neoliberalism.
What Hall makes of recent British political leaders can only be guessed at but safe to say he won’t be impressed.
