The title is a song by The Rakes.

I was not aware of that. I did assume it was a song title tbf as something like that felt too specific to not be. Either that or it was a direct line in the book of a slightly ridiculous anecdote, similar to how episodes of Taskmaster are named after a random saying in an episode.

 

But thanks for confirming.

The First Rakes album is an absolute cracker -   they sadly gave up on music - to do regular jobs a comeback that I hope happens a rare interesting one in a see of landfill indie
