Songs about the working class

This is the one.
I often find frantic jazz a bit much, but I think it suits here, as the bossa nova and more mellow versions are a bit mogadonish for a stirring call to arms.
Interesting that Tracey Thorn has the deeper voice here, compared to Robert Wyatt, so the roles are kind of reversed.
And BRILLIANT horns. You can make tea during the percussion section.

I'm pretty sure it was Working Week on their own. The video's listed here. And thanks for the kind offer, I didn't know of the Tracey Thorn/Robert Wyatt version.
Which version did you have? I have versions by Working Week on their own, and with Tracey Thorn and Robert Wyatt (and a Latin American singer whose name I forget) - a jazzed-up version that is by far my favourite. I only have it on vinyl or would offer to copy it for you.
