[edit] All Music Guide link

Since a link to the AMG review is already provided in the template box, I'm removing the review from the main text. Not sure if we have permission to reprint it anyway...

[edit] Randy Scouse Git

There was a TV Program in Britain called "Til Death Us Do Part" (which was reworked for the USA as "All in the Family" I think. It featured Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell, as a reactionary, racist, homophobic, middle aged man, who lived with his wife and daughter and son-in-law. The son-in-law was played by Tony Booth. He was the opposite of Garnett, left-wing and politically correct. He used to lounge on the chair looking smug, whilst Garnett used to scream abuse at him, especially the phrase Randy Scouse Git. I have always thought that Dolenz called the song Randy Scouse Git after these confrontations, as it is on record that he became a fan of the show when in England. It is easy to interpret the style of the verses of this song as the words of the smug son-in-law, and the choruses as the intolerance pouring out of Garnett.
