Trivia

• "I'm So Bored with the U.S.A." was came about as the result of Joe Strummer mishearing Mick Jones, who suggested "I'm So Bored With You".
• "Protex Blue", sung by Mick Jones, is about a 1970s brand of condom. The song ends with the shouted phrase "Johnny Johnny!" which is British slang for condom.
