"There Ain't No Sanity Clause" was a single by The Damned. The song was a tongue-in-cheek rock song released with an eye on the lucrative UK Christmas singles market, but failed to chart. The single was the last new material to be released by the band on Chiswick. However, Chiswick would continue to reissue singles by the Damned culled from existing material on their Big Beat imprint, including "Wait for the Blackout", "Lively Arts", reissues of "Love Song" and "Smash It Up", and a remixed version of "There Ain't No Sanity Clause"〔"(Damned Singles Discography )", Damned Discography, retrieved 2012-03-12〕 with new lyrics, which reached number 97 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1983.〔"(There Ain't No Sanity Clause )", Chart Stats, retrieved 2010-09-21〕 The title and chorus of the song are derived from a scene in the Marx Brothers' 1935 movie ''A Night at the Opera'', in which Groucho Marx is attempting to explain the intricacies of a business contract to Chico Marx. When Groucho mentions the Sanity Clause, Chico responds, "You can't fool me. There ain't no santy clause!" "There Ain't No Sanity Clause" was written with Giovanni Dadamo of The Snivelling Shits, who also recorded a version of the song which was included on CD reissues of their ''I Can't Come'' album.〔Strong, Martin C.
