Imagine some poor FBI agents sitting for hours listening to this and trying to make sense of the lyrics.

Sitting for hours, listening to this and trying to make sense of the lyrics, at how much monies monthly.

Btw, I guess "Chinas Eternal" by The Tights might have had references as

Spoiler:

I once heard a radio interview with Marky Ramone. He eventually quit the band due to drug and alcohol abuse. When he went to rehab, he was instructed to work in a "non-rock-and-roll job". So, he got a job at a mail room. A co-worker recognized him and the following conversation took place:
"Hey, aren't you Marky Ramone?"
"Yeah."
"What are you doing here???"
"I'm sorting out letters and packages to be mailed." 😂😂😂

Mailroom rehab

He didn't quit. He was fired.

She never reckons wrong or right;
So why does she stare sleeplessly
Into the dark all night?

I'm quite at half the book, but she's still hasn't yet entered the plot.

Alien Kulture was a British punk band active from 1979 through 1981, founded by Ausaf Abbas, Azhar Rana, Pervez Bilgrami, and self-described "token white" Huw Jones

Spoiler:

As of 2016, Ausaf Abbas was working as an investment banker, having initially worked as an economist for BP

"He's a Rebel" is a song written by Gene Pitney and originally recorded in 1962 by two artists, first by singer Vikki Carr, followed by the more popular version credited to girl group the Crystals. The latter was produced by Phil Spector immediately after learning of the imminent release of Carr's version. He enlisted the Blossoms, with Darlene Love on lead and tenor Bobby Sheen added on harmony, and credited them as the Crystals, who were not consulted on his decision. Eight instrumentalists played on the recording, an unusually large number for a rock 'n' roll session at the time.

Spoiler:

The Crystals were one of the legendary girl groups in music history despite their short career, 1961-1964, and the different line-ups that recorded under the group name.The original Crystals were signed to Phil Spector’s Phillies label during 1961 and became a part of his famous Wall Of Sound. Barbara Alston, Mary Thomas, Delores Kenniebrew, Patsy Wright, and Mema Girard formed the group in Brooklyn where they came to the attention of Spector. They quickly produced two top 20 hits, “There’s No Other (Like My Baby)” and “Uptown.”Meanwhile in California, The Blossoms with Darlene Love also came to the attention of Phil Spector. When it became inconvenient to bring The Crystals to California for a recording session, he used The Blossoms to fill in. The result was the number one hit “He’s A Rebel” and “He’s Sure The Boy I’m Gonna Marry” with the lead vocal by Darlene Love. He continued to use The Blossoms as The Crystals as they recorded “Da Doo Ron Ron” with Love’s lead vocal. A contract dispute then arose between Love and Spector.Meanwhile back in New York, La La Brooks had replaced Girard as a member of the original Crystals. Spector had her re-record the lead vocal for “Da Do Ron Ron” and it became a number three hit single. Everything worked out fine for Darlene Love as she kept performing with The Blossoms and as a solo artist, plus in a couple of weeks will be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Meanwhile still in New York, the original Crystals, with another lead vocal by Brook, recorded the classic “Then He Kissed Me.”Phil Spector produced some of the best music of the early 1960s. His recording techniques were innovative and the sound he produced has withstood the passage of time well. The Crystals were one of his better projects as they produced some of the best music of the pre-Beatles era. While they may have been primarily a singles oriented group, when you assemble their best material onto one disc, the results are excellent. Da Doo Ron Ron: The Very Best Of The Crystals is an essential early rock ‘n’ roll listening experience.

And they still missed it! At around the 54 second mark the drummer dropped a stick and can be heard (if you try hard enough) letting fly with an obscenity, but it's barely audible in the recording.



Anyway, this one is a bit old, but it's what I'm listening to right now.
