In 1978 painter Humphrey Ocean dipped his toe back into the music business with the one-off charmer Whoops A Daisy for Stiff Records, a suitably quirky ditty written by his Kilburn &#38; the High Roads bandmate Ian Dury.

<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1030/4598207432_95d502fc47_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="601" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">In 1978 painter <a href="http://humphreyocean.com" target="_blank">Humphrey Ocean</a> dipped his toe back into the music business with the one-off charmer <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Whoops-A-Daisy/dp/B001OQWGUG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;s=dmusic&amp;qid=1273573093&amp;sr=8-2" target="_blank">Whoops A Daisy</a> for Stiff Records, a suitably quirky ditty written by his <a href="http://www.ovalmusic.co.uk/2005/05/kilburn_the_hig.html" target="_blank">Kilburn &amp; the High Roads</a> bandmate <a href="http://www.barneybubbles.com/blog/archives/3084" target="_blank">Ian Dury</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3090/4597591341_bd2f635c8a_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="56" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The man born Humphrey Anthony Erdeswick Butler-Bowdon had opted out of playing bass for the Kilburns a few years earlier to concentrate on his art, occasionally contributing to record covers for the likes of <a href="http://www.jpgr.co.uk/pas10010.html" target="_blank">Wings</a> and <a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/my-mate-humphrey-586801.html" target="_blank">10cc</a>.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1414/4598207176_cc5c21f6a3_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="394" /><p class="wp-caption-text">7in sleeve. Front cover, Whoops A Daisy/Davey Crockett, Stiff, 1978. </p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">The winsome Whoops A Daisy was backed by a cracking version of the 50s film theme <a href="http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=54636&amp;forumID=1&amp;archive=0" target="_blank">The Ballad of Davy Crockett</a> and wrapped in a wonderful Barney Bubbles sleeve using Chris Gabrin&#8217;s photographs of Ocean performing the elaborate dance moves he had recently enacted on the Stiffs Live Stiffs tour.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1417/4597591441_b09a0c5f33_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="405" /><p class="wp-caption-text">7in sleeve. Back cover, Whoops A Daisy/Davey Crockett, Stiff, 1978. </p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">These were exaggerated by the huge white suit Ocean had bought in Brixton Market during his time in the Kilburns.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3379/4598207224_30f2907f4b_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="228" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sleeve lettering, front cover.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">Barney decorated the sleeve with detailed lettering (the H on the back from interlinked horseshoes to match the rhyming-slang name of Ocean&#8217;s backing musicians, Iron Hoof) and on release there was also a version of the black and white sleeve featuring blue spot-colour.</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1181/4598335490_a5db6166c7_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="284" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Sleeve lettering, back cover.</p></div>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">The accompanying poster was a delight. With Ocean&#8217;s name picked out in dance-step style, 35 frames from the <a href="http://chrisgabrin.com" target="_blank">Chris Gabrin</a> shoot were presented  in sequence with the instruction: &#8220;Cut poster out and make Humphrey Ocean&#8217;s Daisy Disco Do It My Way flickbook.&#8221;</p>
<div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 410px"><img src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1030/4598207432_95d502fc47_o.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="601" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Poster 30in x 20in, Stiff, 1978.</p></div>
<p>We&#8217;ve put them together here to accompany the tune:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="400" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/jO2eyc3sxBY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/jO2eyc3sxBY&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>And here Ocean is called to the stage to join the Sex &amp; Drugs &amp; Rock &amp; Roll finale of the Stiff tour and shows us how it&#8217;s done:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="400" height="400" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TLac5S3evs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6TLac5S3evs&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;color1=0xcc2550&amp;color2=0xe87a9f&amp;border=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
