1* Any interview with Andy Partridge.
2* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO8y5nKSr0U Helicopter]]" from ''Drums and Wires'' is a humorously slanted song about a guy with an unrequited crush on a promiscuous woman. It contains several {{Pun}}s ("She's got to be obscene to be ob-heard", "I object to all the air male that she pick up"). Towards the end of the song, Andy starts getting increasingly manic and [[LargeHam hammy]] in his performance, doing things like stretching out the word "round" into "row-WOW-WOW-WOW-wahwahwah!". It's a pretty silly song all round and it's hard not to smile listening to it.
3* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dMx5_vNnGY The Road to Oranges and Lemons]]", a puppet show put on by the band which details the history of XTC up to that point, absolutely revels in its StylisticSuck.
4* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbUcafLpunQ The time Andy and Colin visited the Unknown Museum in California]].
