As I already had some vocals tracks for this tune I thought I’d bung a rough mix up as a taster for the forthcoming Lovechild: Live Again live album (which people are doubtless having sleepless nights in anticipation of). This was actually the very last song I wrote while the aforementioned combo was a going concern although I can’t remember if we ever rehearsed it.
Back in the day I strove to make the lyrics as cartoonishly sexist as possible, purely to wind up our guitarist’s sour-faced, sense of humour challenged, lunatic fringe feminist girlfriend who had forbidden him to sing back up on songs she considered ideologically unsound. A few years later it occurred to me that if I changed the lyrical emphasis in certain areas and got a female singer then the thing might possibly make a passable techno/rock crossover stomper in the vein of Republica or Sunscreem and I duly recruited one Gemma Greensmith for the job. These are her vocals (albeit time-stretched from the original 139 BPM to a much pacier 152); the music, however, is the way it was intended to be when I first wrote it.
