Released on CD and download on 18th June 2007, one week ahead of the band's third album, this was the first CD released on the Hideous Records label, and bears the catalogue number HDS002, after the DVD. The song debuted along with its striking video on the official Reuben website a month prior to release and was the first new Reuben music to be heard since the release of 'Keep It To Yourself' almost two years previously. The single received very little radio play, although the promo did make it to No.7 in Scuzz TV's Top Ten Sickest Videos.

The tracks:

Blood, Bunny, Larkhall A horrible, brutal song which was originally intended as a b side.

What's Good For Me A nice acoustic number featuring solely Jim on guitar and vocals

Girls On Top A cover of a great song by defunct Farnborough band Dreyfus

The facts:

Lack of time between returning from unplanned tours and beginning sessions for the third album left the band with their trousers down b-side wise and they were forced to plunder the vaults for two tracks. Both tracks chosen were owned by the band's old label, Xtra Mile/Sony, who generously agreed to license the tracks to Hideous Records for on release, hence the big thankyou on the back of the single artwork.

'What's Good For Me' was taken directly from the demos the band had recorded before making their first album, way back in 2003. Believing it to be a new track, many fans commented on how far Jim's singing and songwriting abilities had come since the pre-Racecar days. Ha! Thanks all the same tho.

'Girls On Top' was taken from the 'local band covers' sessions the band had done at Raezor Studios to include on the singles from Very Fast Very Dangerous. As the last single lifted from VFVD was released as one half of a split single, this b side went unused.

'What's Good For Me' was originally going to be the second b-side on the 'Stuck In My Throat' single, but was rejected by label Integrity in favour of the live version of 'Scared Of The Police'.

'Girls On Top' was a favourite by Farnborough friends and 'rival' band Dreyfus. In a soppy agreement to name a song after each others' band, Dreyfus originally called the song 'Angel' after Reuben's original name, but sadly changed the name to 'Girls...' and called a different, much worse song 'Angel' by way of keeping faith. At the time, Reuben did have a song called 'Dreyfus', a live version of which does exist on the compilation album 'Live With Attitude', but it was later re-written to become b-side 'Stealing Is Easy'.

The phrase 'Blood, Bunny, Larkhall' has a double meaning, and neither are anything to do with the song's lyrics. It originates from actor Tom Baker's autobiography, 'Who On Earth Is Tom Baker?'. In the book, Baker recounts an incident where he felt forced to rescue his children from the clutches of his wife's parents. Psyching himself up at home, he paced in his library, glancing as he passed at the first words of the titles of three books that stood out – 'Blood', 'Bunny,' and 'Larkhall'. In the ensuing struggle to regain his children, a troubled Baker was able to utter only these words as an explanation for his actions, and indeed for some time afterwards.
Tickled by this phrase, Jim envoked it as one of his many efforts to mentally drag himself through an excruciating live show, in this instance a dance club in Plymouth where the audience of twenty were forbidden to set foot on the dance floor. In a bizarre denial of reality, he introduced every song in the set as 'Blood, Bunny, Larkhall', a pattern which apparently got funnier the more the show went on, but only for him. (Similar attempts at 'brain-divorce' have included speaking entirely in german to a London crowd and even pretending to be Nickelback.)
Upon writing the final song, it was decided that it would be good to actually have a song called this, simply so that introducing it live would reference not one but two incredibly obscure in-gags that weren't funny anyway.

The title track was a failed attempt by songwriter Jim to sound like Queen Adreena.

The quiet guitar chords at the end of the song were lifted directly from Jim's home demo, recorded in his lounge. The slightly odd chords involved were an accident, as it was recorded once only and then kept. This section was pitch-shifted slightly to match the rest of the album track.

The video for the song was first to be directed by the singer, albeit with a lot of help from '...Aldershot' team The Leftside. The concept evolved from an idea for 'dark rooms with blindfolds' that he had had since he and Jon were in school band Vodkalili.

The video was shot at The Leftside's offices in Farnham and at the Norfolk Radar Museum. As Norfolk was too far for the band to travel to scope out the location, a nearby member of the band's new street team, 'The Hideous Squad', was detailed to visit the museum and photograph it extensively. The plan worked a treat and the museum was booked.

As detailed in the 'Making of' documentary that accompanied the video on Youtube, the character of the General was played by band-manager Barney Jeavons' father Colin Jeavons, who had been coaxed reluctantly out of retirement for the role. What a guy!

To further continue the Dreyfus connection with this single, excerpts of a short film called 'The Homecoming' by Dreyfus bassist Gavin Maitland were used at the end of the 'Blood Bunny' video.

The stunning cover for the single artwork, Reuben's first digipak, was provided by Ashley Wood. The photo on the inlay was taken during the video shoot for the title track.
