"Lee Cooper!"
For this episode of Electric Friends, I look back at one of Gary Numan's first ever projects - a TV advert jingle!
Gary recorded a short track called 'Don't Be a Dummy' for Lee Cooper jeans, which became very popular in 1979, just before he found fame with 'Are Friends Electric?'.
This episode delves into the making of the song, why Gary didn't record a full version, the cover single by John Du Cann, Gary's other advert attempts and more.
