Wire - Pink Flag (1977)

"Three Girl Rhumba" by Wire

Elastica had a hit with their second single "Connection" when it reached #17 on the UK charts.  It got a little bad press, too, as it borrowed the opening riff from the 1977 song "Three Girl Rhumba" from punk band Wire's debut album Pink Flag.  Wire took the dispute to court but it was eventually settled out of it.

Here is the discography surrounding Wire's debut album:

1976 Demo (1976 demo)
Live at the Roxy (1977 live bootleg)
Mannequin (1977 single)
Pink Flag
