Chumbawamba / 春巴旺巴，来自英国利兹的朋克乐队，还有把乐队名称翻译成“恰巴王八”的，分明是欺负人家愤怒青年嘛。音乐中流露出强烈的政治意识让很多人望而却步。直到1998年法国世界杯期间的那首著名的“足球流氓”歌曲“Tubthumping”才使Chumbawamba成名，说明这支1984年成立于英国利兹的乐队在十多年后才为世界所知。
在过去出的唱片中，他们嘲讽、稀落、挖苦过的对象有英国首相布莱尔、美国总统克林顿、微软总裁比尔﹒盖茨、U2的Bono、Hole乐队的Courtney Love、迪斯尼、互联网、麦当劳、耶稣﹒基督以及西方社会各种社会问题及丑恶现象……总之，在Chumbawamba得眼中就没有什么顺眼的事。尽管他们带有点极端左翼倾向，但在西方人看来，不过是一群无政府主义分子罢了。
很难想象，在他们其实已经很流行的演绎手法、很悦耳的轻快旋律下唱的都是这么一些东西。Chumbawamba的音乐有些80年代舞曲的遗风和朋克的风骨，吉它永远是清爽型的，没什么技巧，也没什么狂躁，键盘也是很抒情悦耳的，同时还有些Ska、乡村音乐、民歌Hip-Hop的成分，但他们的音乐方向很清晰，不在音乐方面做过多的实验，男女主唱轮流演唱，说唱与和声交相呼应，构成Chumbawamba音乐最美的一面。
Jacob's ladder
Like rusty old nails
At the bottom of the sea
Telling no tales
For the good of the Admiralty
You jump when you're told to
Through the open door
And the King of Norway
He's the man you all died for
(Chorus)
On this Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's Ladder
"And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain"(Repeats)
A thousand lifetimes
Left standing at the docks
In the bar down in Whitehall
They're sure the boat won't rock
In a file marked 'Secret'
In a drawer kept closed
Nobody wonders
Because nobody knows
(Chorus)
About this Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown
Jacob's Ladder
"And they sent him to the wars to be slain, to be slain
And they sent him to the wars to be slain"(Repeats)
(Chorus)
On this Jacob's Ladder
The only way up is down
Three days in the water
Watching all the secrets drown(Repeats)
Jacob's Ladder
O Bulldog Leader, sooner or later we'll dig up the body and try your cadaver
(Repeats)
