Please play Jesus Built My Hotrod by Ministry because suddenly I realised this rock ‘n’ roll thing was true. Jerry Lee Lewis was the Devil. Jesus was an architect, previous to his career as a prophet. All of a sudden I felt in love with the world. And all I could do was ding a ding dang my dang along ling long.

If someone ever pulls off an Irish version of the Wire, this song should be at the end of it.
Please play “Sensitive Outsider” by Half Man Half Biscuit because it contains the words “Broadsheet” in the first verse, and reminds me of some of the more….er pretentious up their own hole types that are all too common these days.
