This was probably the first record I ever owned that had blatant swearing not only in the song but also in the title. Somehow it still never seemed gratuitous. I always thought that if I (or indeed anybody) did happen to bump into the titular Mr. Titmus in a mundane, day to day situation then it's exactly what I (or indeed anybody) would say!
If you're unfamiliar with who Fred Titmus was, this pretty much covers it...

Back in the 80's one of the stagehands working for me bought himself an old Volvo Amazon. When he checked the logbook, imagine what he said when he clocked the name of the car's first owner.
