On the song ‘Type It Up’ (originally titled ‘Black Letter Font’), people were mishearing the lyric, ‘That would look good in a black letter font’ as ‘I would look good in a black leather thong,’ so I decided to swap the chorus. I’m more of a black linen suit guy.”\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe vinyl edition, available December 4, will include a sixth track: an acoustic version of \"Martini Me Fatso\" recorded live in Australia.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e \u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklist:\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
