Nie Wierzcie Elektrykom
''Nie wierzcie elektrykom'' (Polish ''Don't trust the electricians'') is the second studio album of the punk rock band Big Cyc, released in 1991. The title is a pun on "Don't trust the politicians" and it alludes to Lech Wałęsa's profession. The president of Poland was also depicted on the cover in a rather iconoclastic way, dressed in a jacket with a Playboy badge (as opposed to Virgin Mary badge, actually worn by Wałęsa). The album emulated a radio show, the songs being separated by nonsense dialogues of two "hosts", Skiba and Paweł "Konjo" Konnak. Track listing #"Marian, wierny kibic" (''Marian, a faithful football fan'') #"Chrześcijańscy kanibale" (''Christian cannibals'') #"Oszukani partyzanci" (''Deceived partisans'') #"Nie ma tu nikogo" (''There's nobody here'') #"Polacy" (''The Poles'') #" Biały miś" (''White Bear'') #"Kanar?"
