Trivia / Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols

  • One-Book Author: This was the group's only album, brought out when the band was already falling apart. It is an iconic example of Short-Lived, Big Impact, though!
  • Real Life Writes the Plot:
    • "Bodies" was inspired by an encounter between Rotten and a Loony Fan who had spent time in an institution and had several abortions.
    • "New York" was largely aimed at band manager Malcolm McLaren, who had previously managed the New York Dolls and held them and other New York bands up as the punk ideal. The constant references to "pills" and a "kiss" are references to the New York Dolls songs "Pills" and "Looking for a Kiss".
