Comic Novel about Academics

There' s a scene in this book where a professor character puts on the song "Never Mind the Bollocks" by the Sex Pistols, and after the song finishes, gives a lecture explaining the song. The comedy is meant to come from the idea that this professor character is so pedantic that he feels the need to give a lecture explaining a blatantly vulgar punk song which wears all the meaning it has on its sleeve. That's all I remember.

I don't think I've seen this, but it sounds like the sort of thing Hanif Kureshi or Howard Jacobson might do. I don't suppose it would be very likely to be a US author talkig about the Sex Pistols.

Incidentally, do punks have sleeves? I thought they always ripped them off.
(Hmm. Records have sleeves, of course...)

Maybe something by David Lodge? I don't know his novels but I think many of them fall into that sort of genre.

>3 konallis: I'm 95% sure it's neither David Lodge nor Malcolm Bradbury, I think I would remember that.
And it''s more likely to be someone a bit younger - to think of building a joke around punk you'd probably have to be born after about 1960.

Fwiw there is no Sex Pistols song called 'Never Mind the Bollocks'.
That's just the name of their album, which included songs such as Anarchy in the UK, God Save the Queen, Pretty Vacant, Submission, No Feelings, etc.
