A number of his songs, such as "Dogmuck on the Carpet" and "Twats In The Town Hall", became anthems for the Taunton anti-car park charging riots of 1988. As a song writer, he is best known as the author of "Milking My Prostrate", "Smother Nan With A Pillow" and "Bury or Burn?" which have been recorded by many artists both in and outside the folk revival movement and are still sung throughout the world today. Chaff's early lyrics incorporated Neoplastisism, Logical Positivism, social commentary, and pseudo-sexual psychobabble.
