From this

Here’s a bit more to it I’ve just googled. ‘ Deep thought ‘ isn’t a bad username !

In the past both bassist Mark King and guitarist Rowland 'Boon' Gould have claimed that they devised the name Level 42. They both said to have used the science fiction novel The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (1979) as their source of inspiration.

The Guide started as a humorous radio program, but later it became a true multimedia phenomenon: a series of books was released (touted as a 'trilogy in five parts’), a play, a television series, an LP, a film and a computer game. Towels were even manufactured with quotes from the Guide printed on them.
All very interesting, but what really matters here is that in The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy a computer is presented with the inspiring name Deep Thought, designed to calculate the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything. The calculations led to a surprising answer: '42'.

Love this song, did OMD make a bad record?

Whenever I hear this song it always takes me back to Ossies bar in the town on a Saturday night, with my mates after a Boro match 1982, we lost 3-2, don't know why that particular game but it is, class record mind
 
I remember him doing this at the end of "The Grimleys" TV series. He did it in the character he'd been playing.
