Arctic Monkeys album named after classic film

Arctic Monkeys say their debut album title comes from a line of dialogue in the film 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning', and played a Girls Aloud cover on Radio 1.

NME.com report that Arctic Monkeys have confirmed that their debut album, 'Whatever People Say I Am That's What I'm Not', got its title from a line of dialogue in classic sixties movie 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' which stars a young Albert Finney. The full line is: "Whatever people say I am, that's what I am not. Because they don't know a bloody thing about me. God knows what I am."

Elsewhere in Arctic Monkeys news, the band played a cover of Girls Aloud's catchy pop tune 'Love Machine' live on Jo Whiley's Radio 1 show yesterday. Asked why they picked the song to play, they simply said: "We just wanted to play it," which is why you gotta love Arctic Monkeys, almost as much as Richard Archer. Perhaps even a little more. Because they're northerners.
