More Info
Despite the Liverpool connection, Half Man Half Biscuit rarely referenced the Beatles other than in the title of their first album, Back in the DHSS. When a band's favorite pop culture touchstones include Benny Hill sidekick Bob Todd, the Beatles are somehow just too obvious. And yet, a statue in Liverpool's Mathew Street, near the site of the legendary Cavern Club but not looking too much like the Beatles in fear of allegations of copyright infringement, was clearly ugly enough to make a tempting target, so HMHB borrowed the statue's name and that of their home district to title their sixth album.
