I remember a radio interview---on Alan Robson's "Hot 'n' Heavy Express"
show on Metro Radio in the N.E. of England---around the time _Orgasmatron_
was released in which Lemmy denied having based the name of either the
track or album on the device in _Sleeper_.  In fact, he said it came as a
"complete surprise" to learn of its use in the Woody Allen film, when it
was pointed out to him after the album was made.  Make of that what you
will.  (Mind you, the track has nothing to do with the device in the
film.)

Cheers,

Paul.

obFondMemory: Alan Robson's "megamixes"---~30 minute uninterrupted
samplers of featured bands/artists.  His Frank Zappa megamix was my
unwitting introduction to FZ.  He also did a Hawkwind megamix, too.  Not
too shabby!
