It's Grim Up North (The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu)

"It's Grim Up North" is a song by The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu), a British electronic music duo. Released in 1991, it features a repetitive chant and a marching beat, intended as a satirical tribute to the often bleak, industrialized northern regions of England. The song comments on economic hardships and regional stereotypes, using humor and a sense of pride. Its minimalist, hypnotic style and social commentary made it a notable piece in early 90s dance music, resonating with themes of urban decay and resilience.
