Red Hot Chilli Peppers - "Standing In Line"
Karl won a silver at the Sonys for his day job - "bit weird, innit?" How much would it cost to get Karl to shower with another man? £1000 pounds... but not with Steve and Ricky watching. What about massaging Dale Winton's neck? Ricky's feet? To take off Ricky's shoes and socks? "20 quid a foot!"
Psychedelic Furs - "Pretty In Pink"
"I ran it past Suzanne last night... I'm not doing it." "That's why we don't win awards - you promise people something and then you don't go through with it... you're just like all the girls I speak to."
Coldplay - "In My Place" (Session recording)
"I'll do it quickly... It's just like working in a shoe shop - there's nothing weird about it."; Karl bought a bed without a mattress; "would you swap pants with Steve for 50 quid?"

The Band - "Across The Great Divide"
Steve has bought the postcards of breasts with faces drawn on them - "...she had two mates and they went... how much would you do it for?"

"See that would be a fair representation of London!"

Nude lady pens/Karl hates being nude/Rockbusters
Joe Jackson - "It's Different For Girls"
Rockbusters answers: Junior Senior, Alison Moyet, Buzzcocks
U2 - "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of"
An old fella in a dinner jacket farted in a cubicle next to Karl at the Sonys and ruined Karl's evening; Karl farted once to avoid rubbing his girlfriend's neck; Karl's mum doesn't like the thought of anyone hearing her take a dump; cats don't like you watching them take a dump; Karl used to go into the corner to do it in his nappy; "would you put a nappy on for 50 quid?"
