The Songs
A) ''BRON-YR-AUR''
Named after an old Welsh cottage where the singer stayed as a child and
later recorded with the band.
B) ''INERTIATIC ESP''
''ESP'' supposedly means ''Ectopic Shapeshifting Penance-propulsion.'' (The
group's also fond of trippy titles like ''Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt.'')
C) ''V.T.T.L.O.T.F.D.G.F.''
Stands for ''Voyage to the Land of the Freeze-Dried Godzilla Farts.''
Obviously.
D) ''SHEELA-NA-GIG''
Refers to carvings of women flaunting their private parts, found on castles and churches in the U.K.
E) ''HUMUHUMUNUKUNUKUAPUA'A''
A faux show tune named for Hawaii's state fish. (See, Nicole, you canhonor your native state without invoking your naughty bits.)
F) ''SWLABR''
An acronym for ''She Walks Like a Bearded Rainbow.'' Said to compare a
woman's beauty to a variety of flower known as the Bearded Iris. Acid,
anyone?
