Dolly Mixture - Been Teen

This was the first Dolly Mixture song I ever heard, and it was courtesy of Mark Radcliffe and Mark Riley in their Mark'n'Lard period doing the graveyard shift on Radio 1.

For a long time, Dolly Mixture haven't really featured in punk or post punk histories, but are now being written back in thanks to people like Helen McCookerybook.

At the time I wonder if people thought they were a bit pop and a bit twee, and not to be taken seriously? They were very, very young at the time and they came from Cambridge I think which probably didn't have a particularly large punk scene, so all of those factors might have made it more difficult.

Two of Dolly Mixture feature in Gina Birch and Helen McCookerybook's She Punks film, and they provide some very funny moments in what is, at times, a very funny film.
