{{quote| "''Fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all and fuck the fucking brat!''"}}

** And of course, the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p25SdQEnhHI&feature=related notorious Bill Grundy interview].

* [[Country Matters]] / [[Last Second Word Swap]]: Rotten puts very deliberate and gleeful emphasis on the last syllable of "Pretty Vacant."

* [[Cover Version]]: "Stepping Stone" by [[The Monkees]], "Silver Machine" by [[Hawkwind]], "No Fun" by [[The Stooges]], and "Substitute" by [[The Who]] used to be live mainstays. Notably, "No Fun" was the last song they played at their famous last gig in the USA - the one which ended with him throwing away his microphone and yelling "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?".

** Don't forget Sid Vicious' tribute ([[Your Mileage May Vary|or trashing]]) of [[Frank Sinatra]]'s ''My Way''. With added [[Country Matters|C-]] and [[Cluster F Bomb|F-bombs]].

* [[Dreadful Musician]]: Vicious. Supposedly, he once told [[Motorhead (Music)|Lemmy]] "I can't play bass". Lemmy's reply? "I know".

** Jones admitted that the band tried "as hard as they could" to keep Vicious away from the studio while they were recording ''Never Mind the Bollocks''. Luckily for them, he had caught a severe case of hepatitis. Jones also admitted that they let him play one small bass part on "Bodies", but it was buried in the mix and he overdubbed his own.

Line 45:

* [[Exact Words]]: When it was ruled they could not perform their song "God Save the Queen" on UK ''soil'' they got a boat and performed on the river Thames.

* [[Jerkass]]: Just watch any interview with Johnny Rotten/Lydon.

* [[~~Names~~ the Same]]: "Sid Vicious" (real name Sid Eudy) was later a world heavyweight champion in [[WWE]] and [[WCW]]. Technically the guy went by "Sycho Sid" in WWE, but the last name got used on occasion there anyhow.

* [[Non Appearing Title]]: Nowhere on the album is "Never Mind The Bollocks" uttered. Not even once.

* [[Non-Appearing Title]]: Nowhere on the album is "Never Mind The Bollocks" uttered. Not even once.

* [[Obligatory Bondage Song]]: "Submission" was originally going to be one of these, but the band got mad at McLaren and made it about a submarine mission instead.

** The actual story is one of [[Executive Meddling]] and the band's snarky [[Take That]] to it. McLaren's clothing store, "Sex" (from whence the name "Sex Pistols"), sold along with its other punk clothes, a fair amount of bondage gear, and he demanded the Pistols write a song called "Submission," assuming it could be used as free advertising for the shop to move product. Johnny was particularly incensed by this request, and did write a song [[Literal Genie|called]] "Submission", but wrote it about a submarine mission, a [[Exact Words|SUB MISSION]].

Line 57:

** Rotten was once visited by a girl who had just undergone an abortion, thus inspiring the song "Bodies".

* [[Sarcastic Title]]: "God Save the Queen"

* [[Self Titled Album]]: ''Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols'' is a partial example of this.

* [[Self-Titled Album]]: ''Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols'' is a partial example of this.

* [[Short Lived Big Impact]]: The Sex Pistols had a grand total of one studio album, yet they are considered the pioneers of Punk Rock.

* [[Signature Song]]: "Anarchy in the U.K." and "God Save the Queen"

* [[Smarmy Host]]: Bill Grundy, pictured in the newspaper headline at the top of this page. The reason guitarist Steve Jones [[Cluster F Bomb|dropped the f-bomb]] is because Grundy [[Dirty Old Man|made an explicit pass]] at Siouxie Sioux.
