Joyride (crime)
Joyriding refers to driving or riding in a stolen vehicle, most commonly a car, with no particular goal other than the pleasure or thrill of doing so or to impress other people. The term "Joy Riding" was coined by a New York judge in 1908. Joyriders often act opportunistically and choose easy targets (key-on-ignition while shopping, neighbor's car...). Like other car thieves, they can also gain access to locked cars with a flathead screwdriver and a slide hammer, although modern cars have systems to prevent a screwdriver from opening locks. Locks in cars manufactured before the early to mid-1990s were very weak and could be opened easily. The vehicle is started by either hot-wiring or breaking the ignition lock. Ignition systems were much less sophisticated before the early to mid-1990s and easier to bypass.

In 1998, ''Q'' magazine readers voted it the seventieth greatest album of all time, while it was placed at number 110 in the book ''Virgin All-Time Top 1000 Albums''. Themes and content Lyrically, the album encompasses subjects for which Pulp were to become well known, including sexual encounters, social class and voyeurism. Robyn Strachan retrospectively describes the opener "Joyriders" as setting the tone for the album with "acerbic observation and lurking seediness and decay". "She's a Lady" takes much of its musical inspiration from Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive".
