"Sweeney Todd" being the Cockney rhyming slang for "Flying Squad", a police crime investigation unit. Note how KaTe mimes drawing a pistol during the video and Hammersmith Odeon performance when she sings this line. Coincidently an episode of The Sweeney was on BBC2 a couple of nights ago. -- Scott Telford, Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre, <s.telford@ed.ac.uk> University of Edinburgh, Mayfield Rd, Edinburgh, EH9 3JZ, UK.
