12XU

Originally a Wire song. Covered on the "Flex Your Head" compilation from Dischord.

i'm guessing this song has to deal with sex appeal in cigarette ads, not sure the meaning of the words "1-2-X-U". flex your head is self explanitory.

1-2-X-U... as in: "1, 2, Fuck You"

...i didn't know they covered wire...guess i should download this.

oh, it was on the complete discography that i have. yeah, this cover is really bad, just listen to the original.

much better than the original IMO, though i've never cared for Wire that much.

wow this is a cover, i love the minor threat version

both versions are great. i tried to figure out what ian is saying before "12XU!" in the beginning...i think he says, "together everybody, ready?" but i'm not sure. help?

i love the wire version: "alright. there is--a game. and it's called......"

in any case, nobody should hate on wire or minor threat. maybe wire's later stuff...new wave?!

or is it post-punk?

the words 12XU is a straight-edge take on the now cliche "1,2 fuck you".

and i love this version, its just stripped-down,dirty as fuck hardcore.
