Saigon Sunday - Papa's Day edition

Torontoites and Canadians out there will recognize this as the theme to the now defunct NewMusic, a show that totally blew my mind as a kid.

In any case, this track goes back to 1981 and could broadly be defined as 'post-punk', though the group has not much to do with any other artist you would typically find in that category. "Punk-funk" kind of fits, but that really doesn't do the song or the group justice. Whatever the label you feel needs to be applied, it's a pretty good song, notable for being instrumental, funky, and absolutely unique.
