I might be wrong but I've always assumed that the "Sus-sus-sus-sus-pect device" chorus was a reference to the highly controversial "sus laws" that were in force in the UK in the late 70s/early 80s. Essentially, you could be arrested if a police officer merely suspected that you might be thinking of committing a crime. Yes, seriously...(the law was repealed in the 80s) |
