Additional Information
 

'Don't Be A Dummy' was oringinally a British TV advert Gary Numan (of the then Tubeway Army) recorded in late 78/early 79 for Lee Cooper Jeans which was screened in late 1979. It was done on the back of someone from the ad agency hearing the first Tubeway Army album. Gary only did the singing. The track only lasts about 20 seconds and can be found at the end of the Tubeway Army compilation CD. It is not listed as a separate track and is actually tacked onto the end of Remember I Was Vapour (Live). After Gary became famous, the people behind the advert asked him if he would record a longer version to put out as a single. He refused although a single was put out but with John Du Cann (hippe guru from Atomic Rooster) doing the singing. In September 1979, Du Cann had a hit on the UK Singles Chart with "Don't Be A Dummy",

 

Don't Be A Dummy Lyrics


Don’t Be a Dummy (Lee Cooper Advert) Lyrics


Mmmmmmm ahhhhhhh
Don't be a dummy
Move like honey
Don't be a dummy
Use your money

Come out proud, don't hide in the crowd
Find the gear of love to grind
Find the gear to suit you
Mine'll suit ya!

Lee Cooper!
Lee Cooper!




John Du Cann - Don’t Be A Dummy Lyrics

Mmmmmmm ahhhhhhh
Don't be a dummy
Lose like honey
Don't be a dummy
Spend your money

Come out proud, don't hide in the crowd
Find the gear of love to grind
Find the gear to suit you
It suit ya!
It suit ya!

Don't be a dummy
Don't be funny
Don't be a dummy
Don't tell mummy
Don't fight 
Don't stand in the shine
Find the gear of love to grind
Find the gear to suit you
It suit ya!
It suit ya!
It suit ya!

Don't be a dummy
Don't you worry
Don't be a dummy
Kids ain't coming
Try hard
Don't lose your command
Find the gear of love to grind
Find the gear to suit you
It suit ya!
It suit ya!
It suit ya! 
It suit ya!
It suit ya!
It suit ya!
