It was the first and only release from DESTROYA's Live In Paris album and wasn't promoted by the band as they had rejected the album as a 'contractual obligation'.
The only promotion was done by Chewbabba himself with an appearance on Parkinson where he also famously discussed his masterpiece Star Whores.
Peaking at number four and only troubling the chart compilers for six weeks, it was supplanted by DESTROYA's angry anti-Paris statement - the double A-side Stop Looking At My Knob / I've Got The Hump.
This pair of tracks taken from the Tonic Is Beturr album went straight in at number one and stayed there as a seasonal Christmas coupling.
Ten years on though Chewy In The Cockpit has come to be viewed in a better light. The song was great, whatever the French associations it might have.
On Friday this week DESTROYA released a 10th Anniversary Remix of the song recorded on the way to Hamburg.
It comes in a limited edition metallic case with the a remastered version of the original live version and five other tracks: Look The Cabin Door's Open; Give Him To The Steward; Say It's For Your Daughter; Why My Daughter, Not Your Daughter; Why My Daughter, Not My Son.
Also included in the case is a DVD of Chewbabba's Parkinson appearance, including exclusive backstage footage.
It was announced yesterday (Sunday) that the track had entered the UK charts at number one.
The release will not be made available in France, but limited to Germany, Holland, Italy and Spain where it will be available in the next few days.
