    Arctic Monkeys, riding high on the success of their latest album Favourite Worst Nightmare, and their new single "Teddy Picker" (video below), are resting up following a nearly non-stop touring schedule in 2007.

    Last month, the band launched a 11-day, seven-show sold-out concert tour of the U.K. and the Netherlands. The tour extended from Dec. 4 to Dec. 15 with the final show of 2007 performed at Manchester's Apollo Theatre.

    For hard-core fans, you may be interested to know that
    Warped Films - which has produced some wildly successful British film since 2003, including Dead Man's Shoes and This is England - was at the Apollo filming the show. The "theatrical" DVD special is expected to be released in the spring.

    Warped also filmed Arctic Monkey's short film Scummy Man.

    By the way, after much searching, I was able to get my hands on an exclusive and rare print (handed out at the shows in December) of the Arctic Monkey's "Christmas special" with
    Big Issue magazine.

    The spread includes many photos of the usually shy band members and an extensive article.

    "Teddy Picker" video - released Dec. 31, 2007


    Teddy Picker Lyrics

    They've sped up to the point where they provoke
    The punchline before they have told the joke
    Plenty of desperation to be seen
    Staring at the television screen

    They've sped up to the point where they provoke
    You to tell the f**king punchline before you have told the joke
    Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
    It wasn't in the top 100 list

    And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder,
    Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
    They told ya,but you were dying for it

    She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
    The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
    Another variation on a theme
    A tangle on the television and the magazine
    D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
    D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
    That says "we are defenders
    [Teddy Picker lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

    Of any poseur or professional pretender around"

    When did your list replace the twist and turn
    like a fist replaced a kiss, don't concern us with your bollocks
    I don't want your prayers
    Save it for the morning after

    And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
    Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
    They told ya, but you were gagging for it

    Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
    Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
    Already thick and you're getting thicker
    Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
    Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
    Already thick and you're getting thicker

    Assuming that all things are equal,
    Who'd want to be men of the people
    When there's people like you?
