"She asked whether we knew Bonnie and Clyde by Serge Gainsbourg and whether we could do something dark and brooding like that. So we went away and turned those influences into a track called Duke Duvet. (Bob Stanley 2010 re: Debbie Harry)

The track was never used by Debbie.

Samples
"Where is your respirator? Nicked. Hm? Captain - kiss tell. What?"

Note: The sample is only found on the You're In A Bad Way pressings listed below and is found inbetween California Snow Story and Duke Duvet. It was potentially taken from an unidentified Radio Play.*

The drum pattern of "Duke Duvet" is rumoured to be taken from Depeche Mode's 'Enjoy The Silence'. It definitely sounds like it was.

Spongebake Narration
"Each year at this time, five-and-twenty past two, I'm peculiarly partial to a drop of traditional spongbake. Purchase or hire thirty-eight ripe spongs. Wheel them home, and shoot them. Then simply bake them, and eat them once. The end."

The narration is only found on the You're In A Bad Way single at the end of Duke Duvet.
