The KLF (also known as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu, The Timelordsand other names) were one of the seminal bands of the British pop music scene during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Beginning in 1987, Bill Drummond (alias King Boy D) and Jimmy Cauty (alias Rockman Rock) released hip hop-inspired and sample-heavy records as The Justified Ancients of Mu Mu and, on one occasion (the British number one hit single "Doctorin' the Tardis"), as The Timelords. As The KLF, Drummond and Cauty pioneered the genres "stadium house" (rave music with a pop-rock production and sampled crowd noise) and "ambient house". The KLF released a series of international top-ten hits on their own KLF Communications record label, and became the highest internationally selling UK band of 1991. The duo also published a book, The Manual, and worked on a road movie called The White Room.

Burn The Bastards Lyrics
KLF
sampled, [..] crowd/chorus
All right, sorry we're late
But here we are, for one night only!
Live on stage ?out on video?
[JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party]
All we need is a beatbox for people who only need a beat
You may want to hear some scratching just to hear a DJ scratch
Got to have some House so let the master play his tune
? or maybe 'this is the beat' ?
Stop playing trumpet
Did you hear what I ?meant?
[Mu! Mu!] build a fire
[Mu! Mu!] stoke it good
[Mu! Mu!] throw them on
[Mu! Mu!] and watch the bastards burn
[JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party]
Burn the bastards
all right then
take me to the bells
just take me to the bells
I wanna hear the bells
[Mu! Mu!] Five to twelve
[Mu! Mu!] almost gone
[Mu! Mu!] 1987
[Mu! Mu!] what the fuck have we done?
[JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party]
Alright, let's groove!
[JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party]
Oh play that beat
[JAMS have a party
JAMS have a party]
{And a very happy new year, from BBC1}
Hey Rockman, this party's crap
Do you know any others?
Yeah? Well let's get there before the booze runs out and the ----cks
have gone.

Ha! that's what they thought until I came along an put 'em straight!
Me? I'm Ford Timelord, and the only party worth going to is... Is the one
to celebrate your own number one hit single. Course, I had to arrange a
few things first, like this....
