RH: No, I don't like it at all. I didn't like making it--it was horrible. It was done in the middle of the night on cheap time at Advision with hired musos. The guy who was managing me at the time got hold of Steve Hillage from somewhere to produce it. Every so often people would come up to me and say "Well Robyn, if you had a proper producer, real musicians and a nice studio and you cleaned everything up a bit, you'd make a killing. Why don't you make a modern record? Go on..."- But it didn't work! I tried to get rid of the guitar, I just wanted to have something different to the Soft Boys. So I got a violinist and people said "Oh, you don't want a violin, you want a saxophone". So I thought right, I'll get a sax. It was a miserable mistake. I wanted to try something different but I didn't try hard enough. The whole thing was a disaster, so I just dropped out of music for a bit--and Sensible kept me going by giving me lyrics to write. He's a good man, really nice. We used to stay up all night at his parents' home in Selhurst, and just sit in his room drinking Ruddles.

Not recommended for readers over thirteen. [The boys are watching MTV and eating nachos.] Butthead: They should call this show "All - turd - ative Nation." Beavis: Yeah, and they could show, like, all turds instead of these crappy videos all the time. Anemic VJ: And now, two from Robyn Hitchcock with "One Long Pair"- Beavis: She said "long." Butthead: Yeah, and then she said "pair." VJ: followed by "Madonna of the" - Beavis: Whoa! Madonna's doing college music now. Butthead: Yeah, the cool thing about Madonna is, like, she looks different in every video. So it's like you get to see lots of chicks for the price of, uh, one. Beavis: Yeah, and sometimes you can see her thingies, like in that one video where she's walking around and she goes "Uh" and - heh heh - her boob pops out and you can see it. It's cool. Butthead: So what, Beavis? She did a whole book where you can see her boobs and her butt and everything. Beavis: Yeah, but that's a book, I'm talking about a _video_, that's what I'm saying, yeah. Butthead: Oh yeah. [Video starts] Beavis: Check it out, Butthead, it's that old dude from the junkyard. Butthead: Yeah, he has, like, all kinds of cool stuff. And it's already broken so it doesn't matter if you break it. But if you break it he goes "You little snipperwhappers, I coulda got five bucks for that, sic'em Chopper," and then his dog comes up and bites you on the butt. Beavis: Yeah, that guy is cool. Look, that guy cut the eyes out of that picture. Butthead: Remember that time we went to the art museum and they had that painting of that naked chick, and she was, like, naked, so we cut out her boobs and her butt? Beavis: Yeah, this guy must have got there after we did. [Robyn tears petals off a flower] Yeah, rip it up! Break it! Break it! [The bald kid comes onscreen] Butthead: It's Captain Picard. Beavis: No way, Butthead, Captain Picard's like old or something. Butthead: He's old in the _future_, butt-banana. This is Captain Picard when he's a kid. Beavis: No way! 'Cause like that chick, that Nirvana Noid chick is in the future too and she's not old. Butthead: Um, oh yeah. [Robyn appears on a TV screen with a gas can on top of it] Butthead: He has gas. Beavis: So if this guy got in a fight with Michael Stipe, who do you think would win? Butthead: Michael Stipe, dumb-ass! He'd get all of R.B.M. to kick this guy's ass. Beavis: R.E.M is cool because they've got a guy named Peter Butt. Butthead: You said "Peter." [Robyn makes faces at the camera] Butthead: You don't scare me, dude. What is this guy's problem? Beavis: I bet he's hearing voices. Sometimes I hear voices too. They say things like "In the beginning was the fish, landlocked under a sea of dry mud, no hope of escape for this fish wedged in under all kinds of contraptions. So a couple of guys came down from Basingstoke with a deep-wrought iron tunnel screw input shaft monopolizer and they rammed this thing right through the middle of the earth -" Butthead: You're a damn weirdo, Beavis. [The bald kid chases a tire down an alley] Beavis: Tire! Tire! Butthead [warningly]: Beavis! [The next video begins.] Beavis: Hey Butthead, look, it's that guy who died on the toilet. Butthead: You're looking at the dude? They're gonna show that chick in a minute. [Robyn sings into the telephone receiver] Butthead: He's making one of those uh-spleen phone calls. Beavis: Yeah, he's like, "hey baby, wanna, you know, do it or something?" And she's like, "what's your credit card number?" Butthead: She must be really hot. He's writing her phone number on the wall. Beavis: When he's done we should go get the number and call her. Butthead: That's a good idea, Beavis. [The lights come up] Butthead: Uhhhhh! Beavis: Aaagh! She's a bug! Butthead: Uhhh! [Robyn comes on gesticulating like a madman] Beavis: Why's he keep doing that with his hands? Butthead: Maybe he's, like, blind. Beavis: He's saying "This sucks, change it." Butthead: Maybe this guy's in a Mastonic lodge and that's like the secret handshake. Beavis: Like the Whelks or something. Butthead: Beavis does a secret handshake too. With his weiner. Beavis: Shut up, Butthead, your mom's a slut. [They fight] [The bald kid holds up a sign] Beavis: This video is clothes captained for the herring embarrassed. Butthead: I just thought of something. A regular chick has, like, two arms, and two legs, and, uh, two thingies, and one butt. Beavis: Yeah, that's weird. I mean since she has two arms, and two legs and two thingies and all, she should have two butts. I wonder where the other one went. Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! You're not listening. So like, a bug has, uh, six legs. Beavis: Bugs have ten legs. Dumb ass. Butthead: Let's do a spearmint and find out. [They dig under the couch] A spider, that's a bug. I'll take the legs off and you count. Beavis: Okay. [Disgusting noises] Beavis: Okay, one, one more, one, two. That's not a leg. I think that's its butt. Uh, ten, ten-four, six. Butthead: So if a bug chick had six legs, she'd have, uh, six thingies, and, um, about eight butts. That would be cool! Beavis: I wonder how many nads she'd have? Butthead: I keep telling you, chicks don't have nads! Beavis: Well if she had six _legs_ and six _thingies_ and six _butts_ she could have some nads too. That's what I'm trying to say. [Robyn checks his watch] Butthead: You're not done yet, dude. You have to suck for two more minutes. Beavis: Where are his hands? Butthead: [Carrots fall on Robyn] He's peeling the carrot. Beavis: He's stretching the eel. Butthead: What was this dude's name again? Beavis: Hitchcock. Butthead: Hitch _what_? Beavis: Hitchcock. Oh yeah. Heh heh m heh heh. Butthead: Huh huh huh.
