Although without musical talent, the group was notorious for a couple of years.

..and then an increasingly reveared and respected cultural and musical
influence for the next 25 and more years..



Although without musical talent..

Widely read author, and prominent barrister, John Mortimer ("Rumpole of the Bailey" volumes) defended the Sex Pistols on obscenity charges with regard to their album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols." QC Mortimer produced witnesses who were able to show that 'bollocks' was an English term which at one time meant 'priest,' and thet in the album title the word meant nonsense, although it also was a slang term for testicles or balls.

Merci, your royal highness. Trust an anonymous guest to throw an incomprehensible, if not ethnocentric, musical curve ball and then exit, stage left. Huff, indeed.

Well, part of it I think I get; "frogs" is an established derogatory expression for French people; a french composer is involved.
I think the rest of the title has more to do with a desperate effort at alliteration than with logic.

Former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren has denied plagiarising a French composer for a song on the soundtrack for movie Kill Bill 2.
Mr McLaren admitted he could not play the piano or any other musical instrument.
