...what is this Yummy Fur thing? some sort of kiddie-cult or the soundtrack to a cartoon planet? Somebody saw it up close, said it was made of plastic or something, who can say? We certainly can't find it on our radios...maybe we need new radios. Posters went up with the logo (day-glo blue) and a time/place. Turned out to be an ice-cream parlour full of pre-teens. They were waiting for their Yummy Fur... awkward, angular, geeky people - how dare they play their gigs in the afternoon. Eleven minutes, nineteen songs - is this some kind of joke? The stupid journalists sprayed the band with the usual nonsense. 'Do you deny being a mere cartoon of a real rock band?' The reply: "Not entirely, let's just say we'd sooner be Elmer Fudd than a bunch of yucky food"

John on "Plastic Cowboy":There's a bit in the middle where the entire lyric is what I thought Keith was singing in a Male Nurse song, it isn't what he's singing, and I remember checking with Ben "What is he singing" and he told us, I was like "Oh right". He said "your lyric is really good" and I thought "I'm gonna use that". It's so not what he was singing, but it fitted totally with our song.
John on the "Plastic Cowboy" sleeve:I always prefer it when a sleeve has got loads of writing on it and it's not just technical stuff, but things. Some of it is lyrics, some of it isn't, and some of it is sorta like lyrics but not totally. It's confusing and interesting.
