Late in 2002, I woke up having just dreamt a tremendously weird little song chorus: “I was fine until your mom got here / you deserve a personal shove from Julie Andrews.” In the dream, it was sung in unison by a chorus of men. I knew that needed to be developed into something, and the thing it turned into is deeply weird indeed.
I had it written and recorded by early 2003. The whole thing bounces along unsteadily, enhanced, if that’s the right word, by an equally off-kilter solo. Its woozy feeling befits the lyrics, which sound like they portray a seriously deranged person. By the way, all of the fine people mentioned in this song were alive at the time I recorded this. Finally, it’s worth noting that my regular recording software was out of operation at the time of this recording, and that this track was pieced together, believe it or not, on Windows Sound Recorder.
