Toyah and Robert Fripp show no signs of growing up on "elderly edition" of Blink 182's Growing Up

Robert Fripp and Toyah in their kitchen.

New editions of Robert Fripp and Toyah Willcox's Sunday Lunch recital have been this on the ground of late, but the sprightly pair's latest offering should satisfy those in need of a fix. In a detour from their well-trodden journey down the road towards classic rock, they've headed down pop-punk alley for a cover of Blink 182's 1997 smash Dammit. 

In its original form, Dammit (often subtitled "Growing Up") was about getting older and maturing, but there's very little of that on display from the King Crimson man and his post-punk bride, as the pair – beginning with Fripp's traditional cry of "Bollocks!" – proceed to gallivant their way through the song with all the carefree joie de vivre of a pair of young lovers. Or something.
