X-Ray Spex were a UK punk band formed in 1976. The band featured singer Poly Styrene(born Marion Elliot) on vocals, Jak Airport (Jack Stafford) on guitars, Paul Dean on bass, Paul 'B. P.' Hurding on Drums, and Lora Logic(born Susan Whitby) on saxophone. This latter instrument was an atypical addition to the standard punk instrumental line-up, and became one of the group's most distinctive features. X-Ray Spex's other distinctive musical element was Poly Styrene's voice, which has been variously described as "effervescently discordant" and "powerful enough to drill holes through sheet metal".

Genetic Engineering Lyrics
X-Ray Spex
Genetic engineering
Could create the perfect race
Could create an unknown life-force
That could us exterminate
Introducing worker clone
As our subordinated slave
His expertise proficiency
Will surely dig our grave
It's so very tempting
Will biologists resist
When he becomes the creator
Will he let us exist
Bionic man is jumping
Through the television set
He's about to materialise
And guess who's coming next
