The Polecats – Make A Circuit With Me (UK 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1982

“Make A Circuit With Me” is a 1982 single by the English rockabilly band The Polecats formed in 1977 in north London.

The original line-up was Tim Worman (a.k.a. Tim Polecat, vocalist), Martin “Boz” Boorer (guitarist and vocalist), Phil Bloomberg (bassist), and Chris Hawkes (drummer) who originally played under the name “Cult Heroes”. Finding difficulty persuading promoters to book them on the rockabilly circuit with a name sounding “too punk”, they adopted Hawkes’ suggested band name, the Polecats. Hawkes was later replaced by Neil Rooney, who was subsequently replaced by John Buck. The Polecats played rockabilly with a “punk sense of anarchy and helped revive the genre for a new generation in the early ’80s.”

The Polecats were known for their fresh and energized take on the classic genre. Adding a sense of punk and sparking a multitude of bands to follow on their footsteps. Their arguably most famous song, “Make A Circuit With Me” may be their cheesiest song, but they do it well. It has a perfect balance of infectious guitar work, a danceable beat, and cheesy lyrics about love through electricity.

“Make A Circuit With Me” peaked at #76 on the UK singles chart.

In the Disney Pixar film WALL-E, advertisers used the Polecats’ 1983 hit song “Make a Circuit with Me” in their television trailers for the film. In 2010, the U.S. broadcaster TBS used “Make a Circuit with Me” in two episodes of the TV series Glory Daze.
