Their debut album Fitness to Practice (featuring the ultra-sweary London Underground song) is "a cult hit" Sunday Times and "extremely funny" Daily Telegraph. In 2008 they released their second album "Unfit to Practice".

Amateur Transplants Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They turned on the Cartoon Network and couldn't believe their eyes.
The animals on the cartoons had left the screens and escaped,
They wandered the streets and they had adopted their natural states.
Wasn't it grand? Wasn't it great?
When the cartoons all went and assumed their natural states.
With his head caught in a trap.
Eating the cheese and full of disease in his natural state.
The day they all just discarded their anthropomorphic ways,
They burst out the TV sets and they changed the way they behaved.
Ermintrude the cow was sorry,
When back in her natural state.
'Coz Damien Hurst had sliced her
and put her up in the Tate.
Their natural state, their natural state.
Don't be upset but most of them met,
A grisly fate.
Bugs Bunny spent his very last day,
in Laboratoire Garnier.
Feeling a bit cross testing out
Lip gloss in his natura state.
His natural state.
And Earthworm Jim he found himself
In the Fishermans bait.
Peter Rabbit and his friends,
Got hit by Mercedes Benz.
Like Mr Toad found dead on the road,
In his natural State.
His natural state.
Some of our friends met quiet sticky ends, On restaurants plate.
Daffy Duck met the end of his days,
With an Aromatic glaze.
Nice crispy skin and topped with hoy sin, In his natural State.
They wound up beated,
Chopped up and eaten in their natural state.
Each cartoon critter,
Cooked in a fritter.
Each animation
Fried up like bacon.
When the cartoons all went
And assumed their Natural State
--------------------------------------------
I used to read Asian Babes and Playboy
And Mayfair was all right
But nowadays i just masturbate
To the lion King each night
Iwankaway x 7
I go and see every Disney movie
As soon as it's released
And when I'm randy I think of Bambi
And Beauty and the Beast
Iwankaway x 7
when I'm loney I think of Mowgli,
That kid is pretty cute
Pinocchio, Dumbo, Finding Nemo
They always make me shoot
Iwankaway x 7
I also fancy the Little Mermaid
Aladdin and Snow White
But i prefer when I masturbate
To the Lion King each night
Iwankaway x 7

The song "Disney Time" by the Amateur Transplants is a humorous take on what would happen if the animals from Disney cartoons were to leave their anthropomorphic ways and revert to their natural states. In the first verse, the kids are surprised when the animals from the Cartoon Network escape the screens and wander the streets. As they assume their natural states, some of them meet grisly fates such as Mickey Mouse, whose head is caught in a trap while he eats cheese, and Bugs Bunny who ends up in a laboratory where he helps test out lip gloss in his natural state. Other characters also suffer such as Ermintrude the cow who ends up in the Tate after being sliced by Damien Hurst, or Mr. Toad who is found dead on the road. Finally, some of the animals end up being cooked and eaten, including Daffy Duck, who is served with an aromatic glaze and crispy skin in his natural state. The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes their natural state and the various ways they met their fate.
The second half of the song is a parody of the singer's masturbation habits. They talk about how they used to read magazines like Asian Babes and Playboy but now they only masturbate to Disney movies, particularly the Lion King. They list several other Disney movies involving animals or young characters that they also find attractive. This part of the song seems to be mocking the absurdity of people's sexual fantasies, particularly those involving cartoon characters.

I bought an Amateur Transplants album for an anesthetist friend of mine. Very quickly had to turn her iPod off because it came on before the patient was fully out :D Mission accomplished.
