“Born Slippy .NUXX” is a song by British electronic music group Underworld. It was first released as the B-side to “Born Slippy”, in May 1995. The fragmented lyrics, by vocalist Karl Hyde, describe the perspective of an alcoholic.
After it was used in the 1996 film Trainspotting, “Born Slippy .NUXX” was issued as a single on 1 July 1996 and reached number two on the UK Singles Chart. It has been named one of the best tracks of the 1990s by numerous publications.
Vocalist Karl Hyde wrote the lyrics for “Born Slippy .NUXX” after a night drinking in Soho, London, hoping to capture the way a drunk “sees the world in fragments”. The vocals were recorded in one take; when Hyde lost his place, he would sing the same line repeatedly, creating the line “lager, lager, lager, lager”. Hyde, who was struggling with alcoholism, said he did not intend the song to be a “drinking anthem” but rather a “cry for help”. He was disturbed when audience members raised their lager cans during performances. Underworld producer Rick Smith said the lyrics reflected “this energy of movement, and of time and place”, like an abstract painting. via https://en.wikipedia.org
