** The album title sounds innocent, but as P.J. explained herself in an interview with "Puncture" magazine:
--> ''(...) I called the album "Dry" because it's a simple, minimal word, and more powerful because of it. It's a word of needing something else, and a lot of songs are about that. And I think it's funny to sing about dry vaginas.''
** "Sheela-na-Gig" refers to a Celtic stone carving, originally from Irish origin, of a female crouching down, holding her vagina open and laughing insanely. Most listeners and radio deejays probably had no clue what she was referring too. Harvey herself commented:
--> ''What I like about it is that she's laughing and ripping herself apart. [[BlackComedy Humour and horrificness]].''
