The album name, and name of the single, are inspired by an 8ft fibreglass gorilla stolen from a garden centre in Carluke.

We previously reported that Reynard Nursery put out a Liam Neeson-style appeal to get their beloved Gary back when he went missing in March 2023.

Miraculously, the giant ape - well, half of him - was found over a year later and returned to the centre.
