Enough Is Enough is ananti-fascistprotest single fromChumbawamba andCredit to the Nation, on Chumbawamba's albumAnarchy. It reached #56 on UK charts in 1993[1] and was supported by a music video.
The b-side, "Hear No Bullshit (On Fire Mix)", is a remix of the Credit to the Nation single "Hear No Bullshit See No Bullshit Say No Bullshit" released the same year, and samples Chumbawamba's Song "Mouthful of Shit" from their albumAnarchy.
The song gave Chumbawamba their first entry on the UK Singles Chart. It debuted on the chart dated 18 September 1993, at number 56; the following week, it fell to number 64. The song remained their highest-charting in the UK until "Tubthumping" peaked at number 2 on the chart four years later.[2]
In July 2000, the band recorded a version of the song featuring new topical lyrics, called 'Enough Is Enough (Kick It Over)', and gave away a one-track CD of it at their shows in Austria. This followed the formation of a coalition government including theFPÖ, a party led by Austrian politician and Nazi apologistJörg Haider, who later that year stepped down from direct control of the party due to international pressure. This version of the song was also performed at the band's final gig and appears on the live DVDGoing, Going – Live at Leeds City Varieties.
