Unusual Song Titles

Many of the songs on the album have dubious and eccentric song titles, for example 'Defenestration Genocide' is generaly considered to be the act of killing thousands of people by throwing them out of a window. UTB is assumed by fans to be an abbrieviation of the phrase 'Up The Bum', a slang term associated with Anal Sex.

Origins

Rumour has it that the name of the album was derived from a friendly dispute between guitarist, Rory Collins, and band liason Daniel Padwick (who, incidently, also did most of the artwork for the album) during there Silver Duke of Edinburgh Final Expedition. It is said that the argument was over who, in there opinion, did/has done most for human rights in their lifetime. Daniel argued the point for Mahatma Gandhi whilst Rory believed it to be Bob Geldof. Rory then decided to name the album after this argument, as his way of getting the proverbial 1-up on Daniel. It should also be noted that Bassist, James Hollands, fervently argued that Ren & Stimpy were the greatest human beings ever, because they allegedly taught him to read.
This rumour has recently be confirmed by Rory Collins and various others present at the time of the dispute.
