What does def. con. one mean?

Def. Con. One
Def. Con. One is a single by Pop Will Eat Itself released in July 1988 - coming from the album This Is the Day... This Is the Hour... This Is This! - and which reached no. 63 in the UK Singles chart. An innovative song that mashes several musical genres, 'Def. Con. One' features elements of alternative rock, hip-hop, pop and punk, but was proclaimed by the band to be grebo rock. It was a forerunner (along with the Beastie Boys with the Dust Brothers) for heavily sampling other songs and musical scores, including big hits and/or popular classics "I Wanna Be Your Dog" by The Stooges, "Funkytown" by disco band Lipps Inc, the 1973 hit "Crazy Horses" by The Osmonds, and The Twilight Zone theme tune. The title comes from the United States' Defense Readiness Condition DEFCON 1, meaning "war is imminent". Several versions of the song are found on the single, none being the version that would appear on the This Is The Day... in the following year. The live tracks that appear on the 12" and CD editions are recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden, during a tour in March, 1988.
