[edit] Miscellanea
The albums rather unusual title was thought up after one of the band members read in a newspaper that according to a survey more children recognised the Pokémon character Pikachu than the current Prime Minister. The theme is continued in the liner notes, with the band members listed, for example, as 'Folkémon trainers'.
