"JCB" (or "JCB Song") is the second single from Nizlopi's first album Half These Songs Are About You. It peaked at No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in December 2005.
The song is a reminiscence of childhood, based on singer Luke Concannon's memories; it is sung from the point of view of a young boy, travelling with his father on his JCB digger, listening to Christy Moore's song 'Don't Forget Your Shovel'. The song's website refers to Luke's dyslexia swamp, the resulting bullying and characters, such as B. A. Baracus, Bruce Lee and Transformers, who would protect him against the bullies. The bypass mentioned in the song is the A46 as the band lived in Leamington Spa at the time and the A46 is known locally as "The Bypass". The single was originally released in the United Kingdom in June 2005, when it entered the charts at No. 160.
Following its release, the song gradually achieved a cult following on the Internet and at film festivals, in part due to the award-winning animated video by Laith Bahrani of Monkeehub. Mainstream coverage and airplay followed, and by 19 November, national newspapers were writing about the song's rise, and possible destiny as Christmas number one.

In Mid-December, 2013 we got the opportunity to meet and record our childhood heroes, Two-piece band 'Nizlopi' who became famous in 2005 with their No.1 track 'JCB Song'. We met them in Manchester and recorded a few live tracks at The Ruby Lounge before their show there that evening. The band have reformed and performed two new tracks as well as the 'JCB Song'. We had a great afternoon recording them so thanks to Nizlopi and also to Ruby Lounge for allowing us to film in their great venue. http://nizlopi.com/ http://www.facebook.com/nizlopispace https://twitter.com/nizlopiofficial http://www.minsterstudios.co.uk http://www.facebook.com/minsterstudios http://www.youtube.com/minsterstudios http://www.twitter.com/minsterstudiouk

Well i'm rumbling in this JCB,
I'm 5 years old and my dad's a giant,
Sitting to the side of me,
And the engine rattles my bum like bazzerk,
While we're singing,
Don't forget your shovel if you want to go to work.
And my dad's probably had a bloody hard day,
But he's been good fun and bubblin and joking away,
And the procession of cars stuck behind,
Are getting more impatient and angry but we diont mind.
And we're holding up the bypass,
Oh-oh,
We and my dad havin' a top laugh
Oh-oh-oh,
And i'm sitting on the tool box,
Oh-oh,
And i'm so glad i'm not in school boss,
So glad i'm not in school,
Oh no-oo.
And we pull over to let cars past,
And pull off again speeding by this summer green grass,
And we're like giants up here in our big yello digger,
Like zoids or transformers or maybe even bigger,
I wanna transform into a Tyrannosaurus Rex,
And eat up all the bullies and the teachers and their pets,
And i'll tell all my mates,
My dad's B.A.Baracus,
Only with a JCB, and Bruce Lee's numchuckers...
And we're holding up the bypass,
Oh-oh,
me and my dad having a top laugh,
Oh-oh-oh,
And i'm sitting on the tool box,
Oh-oh,
And i'm so glad i'm not in school boss,
So glad i'm not in school,
Oh no.
And we're holding up the bypass,
Oh-oh,
me and my dad having a top laugh,
Oh-oh-oh,
And i'm sitting on the tool box,
Oh-oh,
And i'm so glad i'm not in school boss,
So glad i'm not in school,
Oh no.
Said i'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,

I'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,
Drives me around in his JCB,
i'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,
Drives me around in his JCB,
i'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,
Drives me around-
And we're holding up the bypass,
Oh-oh,
Me and my dad having a top laugh,
Oh-oh-oh,
And i'm sitting on the toolbox,
Oh-oh,
And i'm so glad i'm not in school boss,
So glad i'm not in school,
Oh no.
Said i'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,
Drives me around in his JCB,
I'm Luke i'm 5 and my dad's Bruce Lee,
Drives me around in his JCB,

Drives me around in his JCB,
