[edit] Additional information

The album opens with some telephone conversation between a southern gal and gentleman discussing an upcoming local appearance by the Revolting Cocks. They are unfamiliar with the band and interpret the name as belonging to a male strip show. One wonders how these two people reacted to the performance.

The band dramatically changed the song "(Let's Get) Physical" to avoid a lawsuit by Newton-John's lawyers. The original version was released in 1999 on the compilation "Alternative Press presents Industrial Strength Machine Music (The Framework of Industrial Rock 1978-1995]"

Nivek Ogre of Skinny Puppy performs vocals on "Get Down," and Chris Connelly performs vocals on "(Let's Get) Physical," "In the Neck," "Stainless Steel Providers," "Can't Sit Still" and "Something Wonderful."

"Something Wonderful" includes the eponymous sample from the movie 2010: Odyssey Two which refers to that film's climactic scene.

"(Let's Talk) Physical" is a 6:50 loop of a single snare drum hit and Chris Connelly growling, "Talk!"
