Actually, GLC stands for the "Greater London Council" (a real-life entity) and "Ken " is about the chairman of that council. Apparently, the song is a real-life parody of this guy.. who was also made into a comic strip character. Perhaps some of the Brits could shed a little more light on this, as I believe the story was "big news" or somesuch over there. Lee Hounshell
