"Pretty Vacant" was the third single released by punk band the Sex Pistols. This ode to apathy was released on July 2, 1977. Provocatively, in the chorus the name of the song is sung with heavy emphasis on the final syllable; so that it sounds like the word cunt. Despite this, this song marked the band's only appearance on the British music show Top of the Pops, as they thought it was John Lydon's Irish accent. Also, according to Glen Matlock the riff was inspired by "S.O.S." by ABBA after hearing it on the radio. { -style=float:right; |- | |- | |} March 5 is the 64th day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar (65th in leap years). ...
