  • Peel returns to the subject of monkeys and typewriters that inspired the Mekons album title, previously mentioned on 27 November 1979. A listener has written in, pointing out that new research debunks the theory.

Tracklisting

JP: "The other morning a record company promotion person said to me, 'really like that Cabaret Voltaire track you played the other night.' Normally when that happens of course, you worry and think, what the hell are we doing wrong? But who cares! Let's play another one."
JP: "Liked particularly that line about shouting slogans we don't understand. There's a lot of that about, you know."
JP: "As the notes hinted, the song originally done by Count Five. Let me remind you yet again, that I wrote sleevenotes for the first Count Five LP, which they considered were too weird to use. But just think how you would have respected me if they had done."
JP: "This one's by David Bowie, I'll give you a bit of a hint. See if you can spot what it is. It's not always easy, I must say."
