Chalk Dust - The Umpire Strikes Back

"Chalk Dust – The Umpire Strikes Back" is a 1982 novelty song credited to The Brat and performed by British comedians Kaplan Kaye and Roger Kitter.

The song satirises tennis champion John McEnroe who was notorious for his temper tantrums.

[1] Its B-side was a track named "Moody Mole" and the cover art was by illustrator Graham Humphreys.

They bicker until the referee finally loses his patience and shoots McEnroe dead.

[3] The title is a pun on the film The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and the tennis term umpire.
