The Jam had a long run of U.K. hits with their mod guitar flash -- but they were too defiantly British for U.S. success. The lads hit hardest with this acoustic lament, with Weller brooding over the heartaches of everyday working-class life. His songwriting technique? "Coming home pissed from the pub and writing 'That's Entertainment' in ten minutes."

Appears on: Sound Affects (Polygram)
