No wonder Barney sings about sexual frustration so much. With that girth, he'd need a quarry to satisfy himself.
Oh, and I think "Piss Off You Fuckers" or whatever PCL was originally titled qualifies as best working title.
The working titles for the Movement songs aren't the best, but I went with Road To Ruin, another case of where shorter is better, unlike the M1 Cock/TPK case. ![]()
i think most people outside the UK wouldn't know what the M1 is, so i went with pumped full of drugs.
although they're both appropriate titles! ![]()

Could have also caused some concerns around animal welfare?
Would've been fun though... (to use the title I mean!)
PFD, definitely. Though "Carry On New Order" has a nice ring to it (methinks it was a joke, though) ![]()
Road to Ruin seems better. I can't say "I've got a cock like the M1" with a straight face, especially after I pass a bus stop labeled "M1" with a big red sign during the year.

Ahhh, eveen if they didn't know the M1 was a motorway, here in the States, quite a few people know the M1 Abrams Battle Tank...so that would have been quite amusing as well...
so I had to vote for the Cock Like the M1 also...
'tis quite humourous...

Funny, but doesn't do much for NO's reputation as aloof pioneers, does it?
I'm assuming KW1 is another reference to Kraftwerk? Given that the sequencers in YSF bear more than a passing resemblance to Europe Endless...
PFD would have been good. ![]()
Oh, and The Ramones
already called one of their albums 'Road To Ruin' ...
