There are random sheep noises in Fine Time and at quite a subtle bleat at the end of perfect kiss. Any other songs you've heard with such unexpected noises in or are there any little known reasons for such an obsession with our wooly coated friends?

Perfect Kiss has a bunch of frogs in it of course.
Most bizarre noise by far on any NO track is Billy Corgan.
They're probably just wandering around at steves, some may have a bit of a wobble in their walk
Absolutely - there's fuck all else to do in Macc. You can just see the conversation:
Gillian: "You off out, love?"
Steve: "Yeah, going to do some stuff in me tank"
Gill: "What, again?"
Steve: [Looking SHEEPISH] "Er, yeah....."
Big things, them tanks. Bet you can get up to all sorts. Still, Steve's probably weathered the best of all of the (he even looks younger than Phil these days), so perhaps a bit of bestiality is actually good for you?

What are those noises at the end of Dub Vulture? Are they supposed to be Vultures?
They've been lying to you for more than 25 years. New Order are really from The Falklands, where sheep outnumber people by 25 - 1.
What would YOU do on a boring Saturday night?

I think the reason was that sheep are more studio friendly than Martin Hannett.
Blue Monday was the first song to have a reference to our whooly friends. "I see a sheep in the harbour"

Can't be Dave - that would alienate perhaps 1/10 of New Order fans? And Al -
If they get bored with sheep, there is a herd of cows at the farm just over in the next lane from my house, just waiting to make their recording debut. (Or have our Friesan friends already made an appearance on a NO song?)
PS Do the sheep get royalties each time 'Fine Time' is played?

I doubt it. Did you know they were baa-rred from the Hacienda club? They were always bleeting on about losing their winter coats at the cloakroom.:\ohwell:
At the risk of copping a very big serve from neighbouring NZ NOOLers....could be a sample of Hooky's mum...he actually mentioned that his mum originally came from NZ at the 1985 Logan Campbell gig

These things never get old, do they?
