Álbum: Psonic Psunspot
Año: 1987
País: Inglaterra (Hereford, Herefordshire)

El tema está dedicado a "Brainiac", un supervillano de DC Comics, creado por Otto Binder y Al Plastino. El personaje debutó en Action Comics #242 en julio de 1958. Generalmente se le representa como un androide extraterrestre que sirve como uno de los mayores enemigos de Superman y un adversario frecuente de la Liga de la Justicia. Brainiac es conocido por encoger y robar Kandor, la capital del planeta natal de Superman, Krypton, e incluso es responsable de la destrucción de Krypton en algunas continuidades.
A Andy Partridge, líder y cantante de la banda, le gustaba DC Comics, por eso él usaba como apodo "John Johns", homenajeando al DETECTIVE MARCIANO. En esta canción, por ejemplo, menciona Kandor y el Daily Planet.

LETRA:
"Brainiac’s Daughter"
[Lily Fraser:]
I took the strangely glowing ticket from the giant crane fly and turned to get on the train. "Hurry!" he hissed, and then before my very eyes changed into a splendid cream bun!
Brainiac's Daughter
Made me a suit of bricks and mortar
And a matching stove pipe hat, oh yes
Brainiac's Daughter
Took me on a sleigh ride underwater
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, yes Sir
Three bags full, Sir
All across the land the bells ring out
It's night, sun shines bright
So I reach to hold her frozen hand in flight
As we alight in the bottle city of Kandor
Brainiac's Daughter
Talks like a Daily Planet Reporter
Sitting cross legged there on the mat, oh yes
Brainiac's Daughter
Swallowed the pocket watch I bought her
And I'm crazy for girls like that
Oh yes Sir, yes Sir
All fall down, Sir
And I love the lights that blink on and off
All around her head
And I love the clothes that she tries on and off
Landing on the bed
Yes Sir, yes Sir
Three bags full, Sir
