"
Ebeneezer Goode" is a
song by British electronic music group
The Shamen, which, after being heavily remixed by
The Beatmasters, became their biggest hit when released as a single in August 1992. The band's original version also featured on the vinyl edition of their album
Boss Drum. "Ebeneezer Goode" was one of the most controversial
UK number-one hits of the 1990s, due to its perceived oblique endorsement of
recreational drug use. The song was initially banned by the
BBC. It has been claimed that the single was eventually withdrawn after the band were hounded by the
British tabloid press, though according to The Shamen themselves, it was deleted while at Number 1 due to its long chart run 'messing up our release schedule'.
