The final track "Planxty Noel Hill" refers toNoel Hill fromPlanxty who, at the time of the release of the band's second album, "Rum Sodomy and the Lash ", claimed that the Pogues were disrespecting the whole Irish music tradition. This confrontation occurred during the course of a studio debate onRTE Radio hosted byBP Fallon .
