"Blubber Boy" went out to Australian radio in 1995 to push New, Regurgitator's second EP, and it came with a strange pedigree. Quan Yeomans wrote the words after Kiley Gaffney gave him a book of feminist fairy tales built on Inuit stories, and by his account this one was the tamest of the lot. Yeomans, Ben Ely and Martin Lee share the music, and the band produced and engineered it with Magoo.
Ely has said he and Lee had their doubts when Yeomans first brought it to practice: it wasn't even in 7/8, which made it uncool by their standards, and Yeomans swore his way through it. But it felt good, and the swearing sealed it. A remix, the Riding the Wave of Fashion Mix, turned up on their 1996 debut album Tu-Plang.
