When not playing guitar and keyboards in the Damned, the good Captain (Ray Burns to his parents) spent the early '80s making lighthearted hit records with producer Tony Mansfield. His two best weird'n'wonderful chart- toppers — the joke-rapping "Wot" and "Happy Talk" (from the musical South Pacific) — are included on Women and Captains First, alongside other equally ridiculous concepts ranging from country-western to cabaret. Aided and abetted by such divergent talents as Robyn Hitchcock and female vocal trio Dolly Mixture, Sensible's homely singing is ingratiating, if not always on key.
