Dunstan Bruce Spoke About the Success of 'Tubthumping' in 2022
“It’s quite a simple message, but I think that’s why it works. And it applies across the board to different sort of situations. I don’t think we realized at the time how clever we were being or whether that was, in retrospect, we thought, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s like a really universal message and it works really well.’ Some people in the band would regard it as a happy accident, me included," said Bruce during the 2022 interview.
“That (fame) was never our intention. It was just something that happened. But when it did happen, we thought, ‘Look, we’ve got to make the most of this. This doesn’t happen to everybody," said the musician, now 66. “We thought, ‘Look, we’ve got something to say. We’ve got something important to say in our music, in our lyrics and we want the world to hear that,’ because why would you not want to talk to as many people as possible?”
