By 'The Horror Of McLaren' I take it you mean 'Bow Wow Wow'?
I used to really fancy the girl from that band - but their murdering of the simply superb 'I Want Candy' was a fucking disgrace.

I have no idea what any of these words mean

Bow Wow Wow were a Malcolm McLaren post-Sex Pistols project.
They covered the Strangeloves' excellent 'I Want Candy', and did not do a good job of it.

The End.

Thank you for clarifying
For a moment I thought you meant the ridiculously shit young American "rapper" L'il Bow Wow

If you care, and you might just,
here's the original: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6roiwPK3Ok

It's great.

I did care, as I was wondering if it was the song I imagined
and you're right, it is.

Thank you.

It's a top quality use of the 'Bo Diddley' rhythm.

Unfortunately this is where I have to shrug and say "if you say so Monty"
My knowledge of the music of the 1960s is rudimentary at best. I know the Beatles were shit, but that's about it.

There's a mine of wonderful stuff out there.
Amidst acres and acres of utter shit.

It's those acres that put me off, frankly
Plus the fact that my interest in and knowledge of music is nowhere near as voracious and encyclopedic (respectively) as yours. Always happy to receive recommendations, however.
