This Is Pop? Lyrics

Lyric discussion by 101Volts 

Cover art for This Is Pop? lyrics by XTC

Andy wrote this with some inspiration from "A Clockwork Orange," and some inspiration from having read an interview about The Sex Pistols; Andy said that the interviewer wasn't sure what to call the band's music. Andy thought something like "If it sells a lot, it's pop." And "pop" is just short for "popular," so he's right about that.

The inspiration from "A Clockwork Orange" is the part where Alex talks to the two girls at the record shop. "Someone leans in my direction, quizzing on my music/station selection."
