Typical Girls

The album credits go to Albertine, Pollitt, Ari Up and Palmolive; lyric sites spell the names differently. Bovell produced at Ridge Farm in 1979 with Budgie on drums. The single paired it with "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" on Island and Antilles in September 1979 and reached 60 in the UK, per the Slits Wikipedia page; Kill Your Pet Puppy describes a 12-inch with "Brink Style" and a "Liebe and Romanze" B-side. Far Out reads the lyric as a rebuke of patriarchal ideas of how typical girls behave, asking who invented the typical girl and answering men; no member's own explanation of the lyric was verified. It is 381st on Rolling Stone's 2020 list of the 500 greatest songs, and Kurt Cobain listed Cut among his favorite records in his journals.
