New Deep Purple: ' Lazy Sod' "Packed with humorous lyrics including "The world?s on fire / And I can't get my arse out of bed", 'Lazy Sod' was partially inspired by a conversation frontman Ian Gillan had about Dolly Parton's prolific songwriting.
"Recently, a young journalist asked me how many songs I had written in my life. I replied that the last time my assistant counted, twenty years ago, it was over 500," Gillan said.
"I felt quite accomplished until she pointed out Dolly Parton's 5,000 songs, calling me a lazy sod. I couldn't help but agree and wrote down the exchange in my notebook.""
