"Smash It Up" is a song by the Damned, released as a single on 28 September 1979 on Chiswick Records. It is considered to be the band's unofficial anthem.[1]

The single was the second release from the band's Machine Gun Etiquette album, where it was listed as "Smash It Up (Part II)". The B-side of the single was "Burglar".[2]

Production

"Smash It Up" was produced by the band and Roger Armstrong. It is structured in two-part form: a melodic instrumental introduction segueing into an energetic pop-punk song. The song's lyrics criticize those who indulge in hippie culture (referring to "blow wave hairstyles" and "Glastonbury hippies"[3]) instead of advocating for political revolution.

Release

Chiswick reissued the single on their budget Big Beat imprint in February 1982.[4] The single was also issued in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain.

"Smash It Up" was boycotted by BBC Radio 1 because of its perceived anarchic lyrics [5], stalling at No. 35 in the UK Singles Chart.[6]

In November 2004, Ace Records reissued the single on CD, with alternate versions of the song (including the previously unreleased third and fourth parts of "Smash It Up") and a video, directed by Martin Baker, added.

Promotion

The Damned performed "Smash It Up" (as well as "I Just Can't Be Happy Today") on the BBC2 television show The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1979.[7]

In other media

The song appeared in the console-based game Parallel Lines as a track from the 1978 era.
