There was also a version that this word comes from Frank Herbert's "Dune", but probably it was only to avoid censorship ...

Speaking of which, I read that in the 70s Pink Floyd was originally considered to be used to provide the soundtrack for a Dune movie (before the well-known 1982 David Lynch version).

Sex... Doesn't really have anything to do with the songs on the album, does it? Or does it?

I think every album has something to do with sex. But that's just me.

Isn't there a song called syphalus (or however it's spelt) on it? That's an STD innit?
