This LP kind of some kind of definite apex - if that's not a contradiction in terms - of The Fall's career to date. At any rate, pretty much untopped by most anything else strange released during that stranger than strange decade.
You can totally see the rest of the group hanging out, drinking lager and jamming on the Stooges out of boredom and suddenly MES grabs the mike and starts spitting some sinister genius rant about the untrustworthy elves and a new classic is born....
I heard this recently and immediately recognized the riff, I really like what they did with it, and taking your advice listening to cab it up I wonder if the Fall was an influence on the Pixies.
@halfcabdisaster7 of course they were. Pixies were great and Black Francis loved great music. And both, Fall and Pixies loved The Stooges. Who doesn't?

Does anyone know who this was written about/aimed at? It doesn't seem to be Marc Riley...

The Fall takes a cue from Iggy Pop's I Wanna Be Your Dog tune and create yet another masterpiece. Also read: Cab it Up vs. Iggy's TV Eye

@freudastaire This is mostly unrelated but I think Pere Ubu was an influence on the Pixies too. I just have no one else to share that insight with.

@halfcabdisaster7 I agree on that, even Black Francis have sometimes remembered me David Thomas, in some parts of his singing.
