"'''Born Slippy .NUXX'''" is a song by the British [[electronic music]] group [[Underworld (band)|Underworld]]. It was first released as the [[B-side]] to another track, "'''Born Slippy'''", in May 1995. The fragmented lyrics describe the perspective of an [[Alcoholism|alcoholic]].

After it was used in the 1996 film ''[[Trainspotting (film)|Trainspotting]]'', "Born Slippy .NUXX" reached number two on the [[UK singles chart]]. It was named one of the best dance tracks and one of the best tracks of the 1990s by numerous publications. For the 2017 film ''[[T2 Trainspotting]]'', Underworld created a new version with [[Time stretching (audio)|timestretched]] chords.

==Composition== "Born Slippy .NUXX" features a "hammering" [[four on the floor (music)|four-on-the-floor]] [[Bass drum|kick drum]], distorted vocals, and "heavenly" synthesiser chords.<ref name="Petridis-2024">{{Cite news |last=Petridis |first=Alexis |author-link=Alexis Petridis |date=2024-01-04 |title=Underworld's 20 best songs – ranked! |url=https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2024/jan/04/underworld-20-best-songs-ranked |access-date=2024-01-04 |work=[[The Guardian]] |language=en-GB |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> The vocalist, [[Karl Hyde]], wrote the lyrics after a night of drinking in [[Wardour Street]] in [[Soho]], London.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Bailey |first=Michael |date=2019-05-31 |title=How Underworld's 'Born Slippy' was born |url=https://www.afr.com/life-and-luxury/arts-and-culture/how-underworld-s-born-slippy-was-born-20190528-p51rz1 |access-date=2026-04-22 |website=[[Australian Financial Review]] |language=en}}</ref> Hyde was influenced by [[Lou Reed]] 1989 album ''[[New York (album)|New York]]'', in which "Reed sounds like he's been sitting in a bar, writing down the conversations he heard", and [[Sam Shepard]]'s 1983 memoir ''Motel Chronicles'', which comprises [[Vignette (literature)|vignettes]] that describe moments and feelings "with no beginning or end". Hyde began taking a notebook and a camera to document his environments.<ref name=":0" /> He wrote about his [[alcoholism]] and hoped to capture the way a drunk "sees the world in fragments", in that only small portions of memory are retained afterwards, like a bin or "a little piece of street".<ref name="Lynskey-2006" /><ref name="Petridis-2024" /> In the lyrics, he reduced himself to "a piece of meat".<ref name="BBC World Service">{{Cite web |title=Singer and the Song {{!}} Learning English {{!}} |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/learningenglish/music/singersong/karlhyde.shtml |access-date=2025-03-21 |website=[[BBC World Service]]}}</ref>

The lyrics have been misinterpreted as a hedonistic celebration of drinking.<ref name="Petridis-2024" /> Hyde did not intend the song to be a "drinking anthem" but rather a "cry for help", and was disturbed when audience members raised their lager cans during performances.<ref name="Lynskey-2006" /> As Hyde wrote the song while drunk, he felt its status as a "drinking anthem" was ironic.<ref name="BBC World Service" />

==Reception== ''[[Melody Maker]]'' named "Born Slippy .NUXX" the single of the year in December 1996, writing: "As a stomping club anthem, it whipped up a Shamanic, hedonistic frenzy — yet the lyrics, culminating in the "''Lager, lager, lager, mega-mega-white thing''" chant nailed everything about the Loaded, lads, birds 'n'booze culture of the mid-Nineties."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/nothingelseon/53760986465/|title=Singles Of The Year|magazine=[[Melody Maker]]|date=21 December 1996|page=68|access-date=5 June 2024}}</ref> ''[[Music Week]]'' gave it five out of five in 1996, calling it "an anthem for a generation".<ref>{{cite magazine |last= |first= |date=22 June 1996 |title=Reviews: Singles |url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-06-22.pdf |magazine=[[Music Week]] |page=12 |accessdate=22 August 2021}}</ref> The singer [[Boy George]] reviewed the "Nuxx Mix" for ''[[Select (magazine)|Select]]'', calling it "brilliant" and writing: "Nice lyrics in a ranting, punky style.
