Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Batphone. By Songfacts®.

The Tranquility Hotel Base and Casino album finds the Arctic Monkeys as the house band at a moon-based luxury resort. It seems the only way to maintain a genuine connection with someone at the titular lunar location is through hand held devices by means of a secure line. I've recognized the glow of your low beams numerous times I'll be by the Batphone if you need to get a hold A bat phone is a private telephone number that is handled at a higher priority than a public line. The name derives from Commissioner Gordon's secure line to Bruce Wayne's phone in the 1960s Batman TV show.

Turner makes reference during the song to what he believes is a fictional cosmetic. I launch my fragrance called Integrity I sell the fact that I can't be bought During an interview with Pitchfork, it was pointed out there actually is a fragrance called Integrity now. Turner responded: "Oh, s--t. I'm sure I checked when I wrote that, and it didn't exist yet. So I'm probably going to get in trouble then, huh? With something like that, I can't sit here and tell you I wanted to make some comment about integrity and my relationship to it, and then make a f---ing perfume out of it and write a smart-ass line like that. It's more like I see the shape of the letters of 'integrity' on the perfume bottle in my mind's eye - once you know what that font looks like, then it writes itself after that."

Arctic Monkeys performed the song live for the first time during their show at Zénith de Paris on May 29, 2018.
