The third single from The Kingsize Five came out on 15th June 2009 and featured the bands potty mouthed live favourite as the lead track. The X rated nature of the lyrics put paid to any radio play but as with all the band’s other singles, the work went straight to number 1 in the iTunes Blues chart. The EP also featured a hard swinging version of AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie.

“Stomps like a super charged cabaret horn section. When they really let rip, as in potty mouthed Glen Miller pastiche Big Sis Little Sis, they hit home with bawdy theatrical panache.”  Thomas H Green – Q Magazine
