Been looking through some old UW paper items came across a list of Underworld songs as listed on the Warner Chappell music site. Link was posted here back in 2006, I think... (Tried using the current Warner Chappell site to rediscover but not had much joy...)
The printed out screen grab has the following tracks credited to UW... I can't remember how many of these actually have songs or have been heard...
Is there a full list rather than a discography of all known UW songs compiled anywhere?
Anyway the songs that are credited that appear here are as follows... If anyone knows more about these and if they were ever played or became something else... Let us know...
All of the following are credited to Rick Smith / Karl Hyde on the WC website screen grab I had from 2006
"P"
Bullet
Bullet Lullaby
Bullet Train To Tokyo
Choppo - I know this one appeared somewhere on a show?
Dinner at Rods - this one I remember being played in a session (perhaps after JP died?)
Duty Paid
Flower Prayer Section 2
Gallery Pearl
Girl Poem
Horse Snake Rabbit Ladder
Karma
Music Box
Ocean (just credited to Richard David Smith)
Phonology Audio
Sleeping Eye
The Girl
The Melon Man
Cheers

It's from the October 19 2004 show where Underworld sat in for John Peel - only 6 days before he died.
That show was originally meant to have been presented by Rod Stewart.

I remember that Warner Chappell site too. I believe there were many pages with tracks that we already knew and some we didn't. 'Geezer' which later became Faxed Invitation ( or a version of it ) was also listed there. Geezer was played on the 2008-12-11 show
I did start to build a Songography, but development was paused and I haven't got around to completing it - https://www.borndirty.org/catalogue/songs/

Not sure on these. It's possible some of them are WISP tracks too, but I wasn't able to definitively correlate them to anything.

Dinner at Rods - this one I remember being played in a session (perhaps after JP died?)
The Girl
The Melon Man
Dinner at Rods appeared on the 2004-10-19 John Peel stand-in show (aka the Mr. and Mrs. Christmas show) and also as the intro to the 3-CD Live in Tokyo 2005.
Choppo appeared on several radio shows, including the 2004-10-19 show, and also in the Frankenstein overture.
The Girl also appeared on the 2004-10-19 show.
The Melon Man also appeared on the 2004-10-19 show, as well as in Metal Friend, which is a mash-up of Lemon Mini and Melon Man.

That's Belfort Novatel Kipper. That one showed up on a later radio show too, IIRC.

I ripped Belfort Novatel Kipper, Dinner at Rod's, and Choppo from the John Peel show, but not 'the Girl' or 'Melon Man' - as Rick & Karl talk over those two:

Belfort Novotel Kipper probably written at the Novotel hotel in Belfort, France when Underworld played at the Eurockéennes festival in 2003 (or 1998).
