Me and Mrs Uka were watching a recording of the current BBC4 documentary (if you will, 'rockumentary'), 'Britain's Most Dangerous Songs: Listen to the Banned'. I haven't seen the ending yet, no spoilers please.
There's a piece about songs banned by the BBC during the first Gulf War and Mrs Uka spots 'Mondays' on the list. "Really?" she wonders out load. "Wanna shoot the whole day down?" I offer. Satisfied, we watch a bit more before turning in.
There's a piece on so-called 'death disks' (aside: I own a neat little book of the same title on the subject - recommended) with a study of the Shangri-Las' 'Leader of the Pack'. Great song but I find it unlistenable due to the the production quality of the recording, probably just me.
We go to bed singing the call and reply lines, "You get the picture? | Yes we see." Now where have I heard that recently? Then it hit me. Leader of the pack. How have I not made the BTR connection all these years?!

I've got a vague memory of a Geldof interview where he cited influences for that song, and Leader of the Pack being mentioned. Also said Let's Spend the Night Together was behind the la la-la sections, because the notion of that pairing in bed amused him, or similar.
There's another thread about his plagia....nicking stuff . Will have to search for it.
Mutt Lange is responsible for lots of the embellishments on Rat Trap and Joey, namely the sax parts. Geldof has said this. It wasn't the Rats who though up the saxaphone on these tracks but Mutt Lange. I don't see Bob scheming in his kitchen in Dun laoghaire when the band was formed, to have sax and extra musicians cluttering up the sound. They wanted to sound like Dr Feeldood.
There's a song by Dawn called 'What are you doing Sunday baby' which came on Radio 2 the other day. No prizes for guessing into which of their songs Pulp may have shoehorned not just this line but the way it sung.
A faint air of disappointment in Jarvis swept over me. Not for long though. I think a lot of Pulp's work is excellent.

Weird lyrics 'What are you doing Sunday baby, would you like to come and marry me?'. Jarvis just settled for a meet up.
. Will have to search for it.
