In the Sixties, all the teenagers were in stitches when they saw that title. We thought it was the funniest name for a song ever. We wondered what the words were like, and were very disappointed when it turned out to be an instrumental. They showed a bunch of little men in the album cover art who looked like they were on the point of doing something gay, but they never quite got there. The band is Canadian, and I think fag means cigarette butt in that country. I always thought it was a veiled reference to Nixon, in the sense of "creep."
