Talk:Pour l'Amour des Chiens

Accuracy of track listing? edit

I have this album, and it doesn't have Scarlet Ribbons on it — track 12 is Paws, and so onward.

Could it be that there are different editions, and Scarlet Ribbons is only on some of them — or is this a simple error? —188.28.40.209 (talk) 21:32, 24 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Title edit

According to the Innes Book of Records Shop page, the title is derived from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_the_Love_of_God: “Pour L’Amour Des Chiens” – [which is French for “For the Love of Dogs” – which in turn was inspired by Damion Hirst’s £50 million diamond encrusted human skull entitled “For the Love of God”] Source: http://www.innesbookofrecords.com/best-bits-info/ , under the "Ego Warriors" song. I thought this was an interesting bit of trivia, since the cover art clearly is a parody of this… err… "sculpture". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.200.147.119 (talk) 23:35, 23 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

"We Are Normal" edit

Two years ago, an editor "corrected" the title "We Are Normal" to "We Are Human" on the spurious grounds that "We Are Normal" is a track from "The Doughnut in Granny's Greenhouse".

I don't know where the other editor got "Human", as my copy definitely says "Normal"; and using Winamp's "Auto-Tag" feature to check the Gracenotes database confirms this. This wouldn't be the first time a group re-recorded a track (e.g. the Police did two versions of "Don't Stand So Close To Me"), or re-used a title (the Police again, with two very different tracks called "Synchronicity").

I now have the combined re-release of the first three albums, and "We Are Normal" on this album turns out to be a re-make of the 1960s track of the same name. So the title is definitely correct. — 188.31.102.86 (talk) 19:41, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bands make re-makes all the time. What's the big surprise. Thanks for restoring. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:27, 12 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
