about
"The time had been, when this burst of enthusiasm would have been cheered to the very echo; but now, the deputation received it with chilling coldness. The general impression seemed to be, that as an explanation of Mr. Gregsbury’s political conduct, it did not enter quite enough into detail; and one gentleman in the rear did not scruple to remark aloud, that, for his purpose, it savoured rather too much of a 'gammon' tendency.
The meaning of that term—gammon,' said Mr. Gregsbury, 'is unknown to me. If it means that I grow a little too fervid, or perhaps even hyperbolical, in extolling my native land, I admit the full justice of the remark. I am proud of this free and happy country. My form dilates, my eye glistens, my breast heaves, my heart swells, my bosom burns, when I call to mind her greatness and her glory."
Charles Dickens, "Nicholas Nickleby"
"Blast you! you old rascal; I'll have you licked for that! Tell me his name, some of you!" turning round to the bystanders.
"Gammon!" cries a voice at a distance.
"Hang me, but I know you, sir! and here's at you!"
- Herman Melville, "White Jacket"
"A gammon is a strange thing to be
High blood pressure and a beer belly
The wife is chained to the kitchen sink
The husband's thick, fearful, angry and pink"
- Dismembered Sound Booth, "Gammon"
lyrics
Gammon
Going mental in Gammon Central
Radio rental in Gammon Central
The police stole my bedding
Because of royal wedding
It's doing my head in
They even took John Shed in
Gammon
Gammon
I went for a pint in the Gammon Arms
Got my hammer out and caused some harm
Cos all these fuckers who voted UKIP
Stole my European citizenship
Gammon
Gammon
A gammon is a strange thing to be
High blood pressure and a beer belly
The wife is chained to the kitchen sink
The husband's thick, fearful, angry and pink
White, middle aged, pink as fuck
Garlic and chilli is banned when they cook (WINNER OF THE CRAPPEST LINE IN A SONG COMPETITION 2020)
They spy on their neighbours
They don't like foreigners
THEY’RE SO MEAN IT’S OBSCENE
THEY’RE TEDIOUS AND SCARED
BUT AFTER THREE LAGERS IT ALL BECOMES CLEAR
THEY’RE LIVING A DEATH; THEY EAT, DRINK AND SHIT FEAR
THEIR GARDENS ARE WRONG AND THEIR MUSIC IS WEIRD
THEIR DREAMS DISILLUSIONED, THEIR SANDWICHES SOGGED
AND THEY THINK THEY QUITE LIKE WILLIAM REES-MOGG

DSB explore unusual territory in terms of subject matter and themes, from overpopulation, to the evils of privatisation, to
senile dementia, to the newly-recognised phenomenon of the gammon (white, middle-aged conservative with high blood pressure) and, most recently, bankers escaping to outer space and meeting a terrible fate....more
