“Snooker Loopy” is a comic song about Snooker by Chas and Dave.Ĭhas and Dave have remained famous, in part, because of the songs they have written and recorded for Tottenham Hotspur F.C. They have always done a great deal of live work, and are currently doing shows all over the UK. ‘Rockney’ has been coined as a term for their music style. But their 1982 number 2 hit, “Ain’t No Pleasing You” was a more romantic record, with strings added to the usual piano, drum and bass sound. The songs above are partly comic, and Chas ‘n’ Dave are identified with London pub culture. They felt an alternative to the way British bands copied American accents was needed. The unique cockney style of singing was from the start intentional. Their music was featured in a TV beer advertising campaign which also helped to establish them in the United Kingdom. They were regulars on British TV from 1975 onwards and had hits like “Gertcha”, their first, as well as “Rabbit” and “The Sideboard Song”. Their full names are Chas Hodges (piano, vocals, banjo, guitars) and Dave Peacock (bass guitar, vocals, banjo, guitars), with Mick Burt on drums. Chas & Dave are a Cockney pop rock music artists, often billed as Chas ‘n’ Dave or erroneously as Chaz ‘n’ Dave.
