"Pearl's Girl" (1996) "Born Slippy .NUXX" (1996) "Juanita" (1997)

"Born Slippy .NUXX" is a 1996 single by the band Underworld.

It was preceded in January 1995 by the single Born Slippy, which featured the ".NUXX" mix as a b-side. The band has stated that the pounding, relentless rhythm and shouted lyrics of the track were originally meant "as a joke"^[1], and the single received little attention. The ".NUXX" mix was released as its own proper single in the wake of the 1996 Danny Boyle film Trainspotting, where it could be heard in the final scene. The movie stoked immense public interest in the previously little-known track, helping the single peak at Number 2 in the UK Singles Chart in July 1996.

The track has since appeared on countless compilations, mashup records, and remixes. Due to its immense popularity, it has been played at nearly every Underworld live performance since 1996.

The single was re-issued in 1999, in France and Germany, to capitalize on their new album, Beaucoup Fish.

The song was newly remixed in 2003 and released as a single to coincide with their anthology release, 1992-2002.

"Dinosaur Adventure 3D" (2003) "Born Slippy .NUXX 2003" (2003) "JAL to Tokyo" (2005)

"Born Slippy .NUXX 2003" is a version of "Born Slippy .NUXX" re-released by Underworld to promote the album 1992-2002, originally released in 2003. New remixes were commissioned for this release, along with a new video. The 2003 version eschewed the familiar synth melody and replaced it with a new piano chord melody, which is present throughout the song, rather than at key moments like the original version.

One of the mixes on the track is extensively used by TV Asahi for their station opening sequence.

[edit] Notes

1. ^ Underworld

• Two digital singles were also released online.

[edit] Trivia

• Born Slippy .NUXX has been played at nearly every concert since 1996 by the band.
• The name Born Slippy was taken from the name of a greyhound that ran at Romford Dog Racing Track.
• The song has been remixed dozens of times, with over 40+ bootlegs and mashups available.
• Underworld have claimed that the ".NUXX" name was inspired by a computer fault that added that suffix to the name of their working files.
• The song was covered by the UK band Barefoot on their eponymous 2006 album. Their version (entitled Born Slippy) was a much slower, laidback, melodic version than the original.
• The song has been covered by the independent band Get Well Soon on the album 'Rest Now, Weary Head! You Will Get Well Soon'.
• Dustin the Turkey, an Irish television puppet, parodied the tune, with the song Born Greasy appearing on his third album, Faith of Our Feathers. It also appeared on the Dustin's Greatest Hits complication.
