==== ''WYSIWYG'' and leaving EMI (2000β01) ==== [[File:Neil Ferguson TFF.JPG|thumb|Neil Ferguson, who had engineered and produced the band's music since 1985, became a band member in 1999]] Chumbawamba released the album ''[[WYSIWYG (album)|WYSIWYG]]'' in 2000, which included a cover of the early [[Bee Gees]] song "[[New York Mining Disaster]]". The single "[[She's Got All The Friends That Money Can Buy]]" was backed by "Passenger List For Doomed Flight 1721", a song that listed all of the people that the band would like to see "disappear". The list of unfortunates included Tony Blair, [[Ally McBeal]] and [[Bono]]. Chumbawamba parted from EMI in 2001. The band later said that they got what they wanted from the deal with EMI: "we released some great records, we travelled all over the world, appeared on all these TV programmes, and we made loads of money, a lot of which we gave away or ploughed into worthwhile causes".<ref name="Glasper" /> To celebrate their 20 years together, the band made a [[documentary film]] based on footage that they had recorded over the past two decades. Originally intended to be simply a compilation of their videos, the result was entitled ''Well Done, Now Sod off''. The title was taken from an early review of a Chumbawamba record and the film included both lovers and haters of the band.
