Notes: Tina Weymouth about this song: We jammed to create this song. I played guitar (I don't really know how to playanything, so it was all the same to me, whatever instrument I played); Chris played drums (no jam really got off the ground if anyone else tried to play them); Jerry played a Prophet keyboard, including the left-hand bass line; and David kept going between guitar and another Prophet keyboard, where he went wild witth the pitch modulationwheel and campy piano glissandos. It was great and it was truly naive.
