Dirk Wears White Sox is the debut studio album by Adam and the Ants, released in 1979. It is the only album released by the original Adam and the Ants line-up, who would go on to be swiped by Malcolm McLaren for Bow Wow Wow. The "Dirk" of the title refers to classic British film icon Dirk Bogarde. |

Shout-Out |

comment |
Shout-Out: The "Dirk" in the album title refers to actor Dirk Bogarde. "Catholic Day" references the assassination of John F. Kennedy and his affair with Marilyn Monroe. The song also name-drops the line "I see the chickens have come home to roost", which was Malcolm X's reaction when interviewed about JFK's death. "Animals And Men" references artists from the Futurism movement: "Cleopatra" has a reference to the film Cleopatra, and what a disappointment it was: "Family Of Noise" quotes from "She Loves You" by The Beatles, available on Past Masters. "Nine Plan Failed" |
