[edit] Trivia

Original vinyl releases of this single contained a post card with a competition to win a Sony Discman and Motörhead's new CD album "Orgasmatron". The questions were;

  1. Which member of Motörhead wears a strapless bra underneath his stage clothes?
  2. Which member of Motörhead has two adorable little bunnies called Mopsy and Garfunkle?
  3. Do you think there is a valid place for Motörhead to occupy in today's urban military industrial wasteland? True of false?
  4. Do you feel that Motörhead say one thing one minute and out the other? (specify inside leg measurement)

The postcards were to be sent to GWR, the record label involved in the single's release.
