I love Seattle (the city AND the song)! I'm sad to discover that that P.I.L. did not find that city enchanting. Oh well. They look like a bunch of insane, crazed, aging hooligans, so who cares! I hope you know that I only said what I just said so that I could use the word "HOOLIGAN." :D
Some of you may remember John Lydon- aka Johnny Rotten- of Sex Pistols '70s punk fame. This song is from the album 'Happy?' which was released in 1987.

Description below was cut and pasted straight from the youtubey viddyyyy...

Personnel:
Vox - John Lydon
Guitar - John McGeoch
Guitar / Various - Lu Edmonds
Bass - Alan Dias
Drums - Bruce Smith
This was the first release from the 'new' PiL. A line up which would last in various forms for another five years. 'Seattle' was written on tour while the band were in Seattle, apparently inspired by how boring the town was.
Quotes:
Seattle is unusual, in that we recorded it on tour, when we had some days off. The days off were in Seattle. Clever huh?
- John Lydon, 'Plastic Box' sleevenotes 1999
