“Well my favourite bird is the cuckoo, punk
My favourite beast, the funky skunk.
My favourite colour is the emerald green,
Chuck the football king . . . his beauty queen
Comes to me when she’s chucked him in.
Well I was born to be adored by women.”

—singer, songwriter, self-producer Momus, Born To Be Adored,
from The Little Red Songbook, 1998.
