Oh; so not the Scherzo con malizia from Walton's First Symphony, then?

Town Called Malice written by Paul Weller of The Jam (entered the charts at no. 1 and stayed top for three weeks, preventing "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers from reaching number one).

Walter Weller was born in Vienna and moved to Liverpool in 1977 to become principal conductor of the RLPO.

Just about the only beat combo from the '80s I ever enjoyed - vastly superior to the miserable Smiths. ('Tho' they got better when they ditched Morrissey and became a String Quartet. And Morrissey improved when he did Bob the Builder.)

If it ain't ungallant, may I ask what you were both doing in a wardr ... oh! Yes, it would be ungallant.
