Watch: Boy Azooga Air "Do The Standing Still" (The Table cover)

Cardiff post punk/alt band Boy Azooga have aired a video for their cover version of cult Welsh band The Tables 1977's dance floor classic "Do The Standing Still".

Davey had the following to say about the band’s decision to cover the track: ”In 1977 Tony Barnes, Russell Young, Len Lewis and Mickey O Connor, collectively known as The Table, released their comic book dead body dance floor classic ‘Do The Standing Still’… As huge comic book fans, the songs lyrics reference multiple Marvel Comic Fantastic Four titles amongst the other chaos. It’s an amazing song so we decided to cover it, with super hero Eddie Al-Shakarchi behind the desk. Apparently people used to rush the dance floor and stand still for the duration of the song when it came on in clubs or when the band played it live. We hope you enjoy our cover and accompanying video featuring Kliph Scurlock, a polar bear and some confused members of the public.”
