"No Class" is a song by the heavy metal band Motörhead. Released in 1979, in 7" vinyl pressings. The song also appears on the Overkill album.
It was available in three different covers, with either a picture of Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke or Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. The single also contains the B-side "Like a Nightmare", which can be found on the reissued versions of Overkill.[1]
In 1982, as part of the Stand by Your Man EP collaboration with Motörhead, punk / metal band The Plasmatics covered "No Class".
In September 1982, Lemmy, Philthy and Brian Robertson were interviewed by Richard Skinner on BBC Radio 1's 'Saturday Live' show, "Stand by Your Man", "No Class" and "Go to Hell" were played.[1]
On Motörhead's 1999 live album Everything Louder Than Everyone Else, before playing "No Class" Lemmy states that he would officially like to dedicate the song to long-time friend Wendy O. Williams, who had committed suicide the previous month.
The song's riff bears a striking resemblance to the riff from "Tush" by ZZ Top.
