Dolly Parton and Terry Cashman’s "Sing for Your Supper" might be the only song that references the 1930s musical, but Skylarking is a concept album in the vein of the great American songbook.
- Skylarking was the first XTC album produced by Todd Rundgren, who was given an unusually free hand in the studio.
- The album was recorded at the Rundgren-owned Bearsville Sound Studios in Woodstock, New York.
- The song "Dear God" was considered too controversial for release as a single in the UK, and was held back until 1987.
XTC was a British rock band known for their intricate songwriting and often unconventional sound. By 1986, they had evolved from their early jerky new wave to a more mature, orchestral art pop sound.
