NotesTina Weymouth about this song: This song started from a jam. Chris had just been to see Parliament-Funkadelic in ist full glory at Madison Square Garden, and he was really hyped. During the jam, he kept yelling Burn down the house! which was a P-Funk audience chant, and David dug the line, changing it to the finished version, Burning Down The House. -
