Geeky fact

Started by Dermot in General Therapy? Topics

The title of the Therapy? demo “Here Is” is a reference to the following quote from the movie “Taxi Driver”:

“Listen, you fuckers, you screw-heads. Here is a man who would not take it anymore. A man who stood up against the scum, the cunts, the dogs, the filth, the shit. Here is a man who stood up. Here is.”

OK here’s another one. The sample at the beginning of Fantasy Bag (“We’ve got 35 or more people out there now, killing 20 and 30 people each”) is a reference to the following FBI statement:

“The FBI claimed in the 1980s that at any particular time there were roughly 35 active serial killers in the United States, meaning that the serial killers in question have committed their first murders but have not yet been apprehended or stopped by other means (e.g., suicide, paralysis or a natural death).”

This sample (from the same song):

“Your friend, your teacher, the guy next door”

Was a slogan used by police hunting for the Yorkshire Ripper (Peter Sutcliffe) to heighten vigilance.

My apologies Sir, but you and your motley cohorts have drained them all.

Perhaps Sir would like some White Lightning? Buckfast? Kestrel? Steiger? Skol? No?

My geeky fact: A few months ago someone posted a live gig of Therapy? in Aalborg around 1992 or so. The song “Skinning Pit” had a sample from the British movie “If…” which went “What I’d really hate is to have a nail banged through the back of my neck, slowly.”

Just saw that film on Film4 a while ago, excellent movie.

is there 2 versions of evil elvis?

cos ive got 2, ones quite rough which im assuming is the “lost demo”, it sounds live but its silent when it ends and someone laughs

and the others a normal studio version that sounds like it should have been on troublegum - at the end andy says “thank you very much”
