Panic Shack (https://www.facebook.com/panicshack) are the Cardiff band who made a first Just Some Punk Songs appearance almost exactly two years ago with a track from their debut ep (https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/03/panic-shack-ick.html).
They return today with a new single on Brace Yourself Records and happily despite 2 years away they're still as infectious as ever. The single deals with body image and the need to get in shape to satisfy others ("my body is yours enjoy the view").
They'll be touring the UK during May and the gigs are already selling out so get them tickets fast.

It's called Gok Wan...
I squat for 2 hours a day
Not enough to keep the red ring of shame away
If my stomach is flat and my arse is perky
Maybe I could get everybody to like me
Fingers for dinner, starving yourself
Trinny and Susannah stacked on the shelf
Vertical stripes and skipping meals
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I squat for 5 hours a day
Fat or pregnant?
Thin or dying?
What would the tabloids say?
And I throw up everything I eat
Coz nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I squat for 12 hours a day
I know best I do what people on the telly say
And all I count are pounds and calories
Don’t read books just glossy magazines
Who needs brains when you got hip bones like mine
I learnt this from you mum, I must be doing fine
Nothing really matters except numbers on the scales
Coz nothing ever tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I wanna be the smallest girl that’s ever lived
I wanna go down in history for being thin
I wanna be the smallest girl that’s ever lived
I wanna go down in history for being thin
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours
It’s all for you
Not enough to keep the red ring of shame away
If my stomach is flat and my arse is perky
Maybe I could get everybody to like me
Fingers for dinner, starving yourself
Trinny and Susannah stacked on the shelf
Vertical stripes and skipping meals
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I squat for 5 hours a day
Fat or pregnant?
Thin or dying?
What would the tabloids say?
And I throw up everything I eat
Coz nothing tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I squat for 12 hours a day
I know best I do what people on the telly say
And all I count are pounds and calories
Don’t read books just glossy magazines
Who needs brains when you got hip bones like mine
I learnt this from you mum, I must be doing fine
Nothing really matters except numbers on the scales
Coz nothing ever tastes as good as skinny feels
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view
I wanna be the smallest girl that’s ever lived
I wanna go down in history for being thin
I wanna be the smallest girl that’s ever lived
I wanna go down in history for being thin
I look good this is all I do
My body is yours enjoy the view

My body is yours
It’s all for you
