* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: Inverted. A great deal of their famously [[ThreeChordsAndTheTruth no-frills]] music ''was'' made on drugs, especially in the '70s and '80s. Most notably, Parfitt came up with the riff for "Mystery Song" after taking an inordinate amount of amphetamines in a cup of tea.

He then wrote and performed lead vocals on "Get Out of My Head", which is widely regarded as one of the best tracks on ''Backbone'', and which cemented his position as a worthy successor to Parfitt.
