"World Shut Your Mouth" by Julian Cope

Formerly of The Teardrop Explodes, English art rocker Julian Cope's first solo album, "World Shut Your Mouth", was released in 1984. But the song of the same name appeared on his third album, 1987's "Saint Julian".

Although it only reached #84 in 1987, it would remain his only chart success in the US. It is a terrific song, but don't be fooled into thinking the rest of Cope's catalogue is as upbeat and catchy as this. The success of this single helped boost "Saint Julian" to #105 on the US albums chart, which he was never able to top.
