I'm autistic myself and I'm not offended by this song at all.

The art of music

I remember seeing him at the Capitol Theatre back in 1980 on his "Antipodean Progress Tour". Next to me were several people with cerebral palsy. He came on stage announcing "Hello all you out there in Normal Land!" and launched into Spasticus Autisticus. None of them were upset by it.

I wonder what Ian Dury thought of the song being performed in the Paralympics opening ceremony?

I have learning difficulties myself, yet I don't find Spaz offensive. As they said, Ian wasn't trying to have a go, nor make fun at disabled people. The message was he wanted those with disabilities to be treated fairly, not like dirt.

I always thought this was a piss take, not of disabled people but of the establishment and the attitudes that isolate disabled people. I remember a disabled guy I worked with say 'I'm disabled not stupid'. Anyway this clip confirms my belief of Ian's motives, a great bloke who was too clever for all of these know all dick-heads.

Nabil Shaban hit the nail on the head there. The Spastics Society themselves were prejudicial and patronizing towards disabled by complaining about this song. Some people, mostly those "in the normal land" will never get it. Disabled people are human beings, same faults, same needs.

I saw him and the band in the Olympia theatre, Dublin back in the 90's, (I think). It was a sit down gig and the audience was fairly complacent until he played Spasticus. Suddenly they realised that this man had made art out of a disability, was in a way celebrating his condition, and woke up, stood up, and didn't sit down for the rest of the gig, which was followed by three encores and the band had to drag him off in the end cos he wouldn't leave the stage. A great night.

Fantastic - what a sophisticated man and what a superb band - lucky enough to see them 2 or 3 times - wish I had gone and seen them more

Just goes to show he was light years ahead of current thinking. RIP Ian.
