==Band name==
Several inaccurate stories have circulated about the origins of the band's unusual name. According to the ''[[Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums]]'', the band's name was a [[mondegreen]] from the song "[[Jackson (song)|Jackson]]" ("We got married in a fever, hotter than a pepper sprout"), misheard by [[frontman]] Paddy McAloon.<ref name="British Hit Singles & Albums"/> McAloon has maintained that the name was entirely made-up, stating in a 1984 interview; "I was asked about the name so many times I used to invent stories about it. The truth of the matter is that I made it up. Around that time all the groups were supposed to mean something&nbsp;... and when you are 13 you think it's profound, that there must be some secrecy. I liked the idea and so thought of two odd words, put them together and have kept it, basically because it reminds me of how I used to look at things".<ref name="A Prefabricated Style">{{cite journal |last1=Nichols |first1=Kathryn |title=A Prefabricated Style |journal=Debut |date=1984 |issue=3 |url=https://www.sproutology.co.uk/interviews/kathryn-nichols-debut-magazine-1984/ |access-date=2 April 2020}}</ref>
