The VP v Lanliq question is a matter of chronology. Originally the words were VP(Virgin's Pish) but when Hamish sang it he updated it to Lanliq which had by that time superseded VP as the most popular form of electric soup.
There is also debate as to whether glaschu does translate as dear green place. It may just mean grey flat place or something like that.
