Additional information

The album opens with some telephone conversation between a southern gal and gentleman discussing an upcoming local appearance by the Revolting Cocks. They are unfamiliar with the band and interpret the name as belonging to a male strip show.

The band had to dramatically change the song "(Let's Get) Physical" to avoid a lawsuit by Olivia Newton-John's lawyers. Although they had changed the music, they had kept the original lyrics intact. When the writers heard the song, they threatened to sue the band. The final version contains almost completely original lyrics. Some promo copies of the album had been released with the original version intact as well. The original version was released in 1999 on the compilation "Alternative Press presents Industrial Strength Machine Music (The Framework of Industrial Rock 1978-1995)"

"Something Wonderful" includes the eponymous sample from the movie which refers to that film's climactic scene.

"(Let's Talk) Physical" is a 6:50 loop of a single snare drum hit and Chris Connelly growling, "Talk!". This was taken from the original version of "(Let's Get) Physical".
