Unfortunately, Ian Dury died in 2000. But he was a great performer in front of a great band - much better than many of their peers. Befeore they were 'The Blockheads' they were Kilburn and the High Roads, a seminal pub rock band.

Yes, the first line was a nod to Ian Drury and the Blockheads. Here's the BBC annotated version of the song: http://www.bbc.co.uk/ dna/h2g2/A1012483
Apparently the man is still performing. You'll find the original, from 1979, *and* remixes on You Tube. 

I like this better:
