http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buttons_(song)

Like "Don't Cha" and "Beep", the song has a strong sexual undertone; a lady teases her intended male subject to help her take her clothes off (hence the main chorus line "I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons"). However, she accuses him of being intimidated, leading her to believe he's "all talk and no show". She claims that she's "heard what he's sayin' what he was going to do to her, but she's seen nothing". There is a presence of sexual frustration because the male involved refuses to unbutton the female's clothes, despite his verbal teasing. She seems frustrated because she is aware she's attractive but for some reason her men have not wanted to undergo sexual intercourse with her. The sexual frustration is embodied from her male partners' inability to have sex with her, and most probably causes the female's ever so slightly weakened - yet still large - ego. However, where most listeners would assume that the protagonist has finally lost interest, the song ends with the impression that she's still teasing the man to unbutton her clothes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donovan

The punk era (1977–1980) had provoked a backlash in Britain against the optimism and whimsy of the hippie era, of which Donovan was considered a prime example. The word "hippie" became pejorative, and Donovan's fortunes with the public and the media suffered.[citation needed] In this period he guest-starred on Stars on Ice, a half-hour variety show on ice produced by CTV in Toronto, Canada.

"Baby's on Fire" is 5 minutes 19 seconds long.[5] The song begins with a tense high-hat and bass line, along several different kinds of electronic sounds. Eno's vocals enter after this, being described as "nasal" and "slightly snotty".[6] Following this first section of lyrics there is a guitar solo by Paul Rudolph and Robert Fripp with shifting drum beats as backing; the soloing continues through with the return of Eno's vocals as the song ends.[6]

Doughman mixes trace amounts of his own blood into the ink used in the disc printing process, pioneering the concept of the GrisD. Rumors persist that there was confusion over the term "serious chops" in his contract with Ol' Scratch, and after some antics over semantics, can now grow sideburns to equal any cartoon samurai at will. Doughman's documented penchant for sleeping in a topknot may be the source of such speak.

Oasis' lead guitarist Noel Gallagher has heralded No Way Sis as the "second best band in the world", and presented his doppelgänger Gerry Mckay with the golden Les Paul guitar he played in the video for "Some Might Say". As the hysteria surrounding Oasis died down towards the end of the 1990s, the demand for No Way Sis decreased and they split.

Pat and Mick were a British vocal duo consisting of popular radio personalities Pat Sharp and Mick Brown. The royalties from their record sales were donated to Capital FM's 'Help A London Child' charity. All their singles were produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman.

The pair were often portrayed as unintelligent in media coverage, but this served to boost record sales providing money for the charity in the process.
