Wouldn't the 586th be "Vietnam" then? 
5 8 6 is the bar structure of the song Ecstasy...
If my memory serves well, this is the origin of the title...

Besides...they didn't write it.
It is all part of Rob Gretton as clairvoyant. Rob named this song, because he knew that twenty years later, the New Order Online trainspotting fraternity would have exactly five hundred and eighty-six threads on what the name of the song meant.
Why don't we all debate what Confusion means ?

Which has always confused me because I don't think it sounds like KW at all. I don't associate them with KW1's soaring soundscapes whatsoever, but more yer quirky little melodies and something more upbeat.

I agree...as a long time KW fan...I've never really heard it. Maybe it came from a more basic version of the tune in it's early days...like the drum beat and sequencer lines.

I always assumed they set out to do a KW type of thing, fucked up a bit and then pulled this little gem from the wreckage... just a thought

I can hear a resemblance to tracks from the Trans-Europe Express album.

Yeah, I couldn't believe when I counted out the number of songs: 3 Joy Division tunes, 16 (count Temptation twice) New Order songs :D
and of course 5 11: 5 JD, 11 NO
