Yeah I never really thought of it but isn't it essentially a rewrite of Reelin in the Years? Trying to see the connection 2 Phil and Company and Basher? I guess that would be phonogram records which had a connection 2 stiff records. I guess his delivery is kind of in that Phil kind of way which is weird because Elvis Costello had that husky tone to his voice and obviously he was part of Lowe's crew. Then again I guess this is all an offshoot of Pub Rock and Birch would know all that 1976 cross over into New Wave Punk

Actually, Nick himself said it was Steely Dan ("Reelin' In The Years") that was borrowed from, not Thin Lizzy.

I was too embarrassed to tell him what "SBD" stood for, and that I assumed the guy in the song had especially powerful farts! lol
