- "Making Plans for Nigel" é uma música escrita pelo baixista , da banda de rock inglesa XTC, lançada junto ao álbum Drums and Wires, de 1979. A letra descreve o ponto de vista dos pais de Nigel, certos de que seu filho está "feliz em seu mundo" e que seu futuro na British Steel é "garantido", evocando mais um futuro enclausurante do que uma promessa de segurança. Em resposta à música, a British Steel reuniu empregados chamados Nigel para falar sobre satisfação no trabalho para uma revista especializada. A melodia característica da música foi desenvolvida por acidente após uma falha de comunicação entre o guitarrista Andy Partridge e o baterista . Partridge estava incomodado pelo tempo que estavam gastando na gravação da música, afirmando que esta levou uma semana para sair enquanto o resto do álbum inteiro levou três. De acordo com o guitarrista , apesar do sucesso do álbum a banda ainda estava tendo dificuldades em lotar shows, ao que Nigel foi destacado pela BBC, levando a banda de volta às paradas. A música ficou onze semanas na parada UK Singles Chart. A música também chegou à parada canadense Canadian Singles Chart, ficando lá por 22 semanas. Em 2016, a música foi listada entre as 200 melhores dos anos 70 pela Pitchfork. (pt)
