You may find yourself exclaiming this title several times, aloud, throughout your initial listens, as it’s certainly one of the more absurd works.
The bass line in the head of the tune was transcribed, after I’d recorded a stream-of-consciousness groove late one afternoon.

Joel Thielman is featured on keys throughout this one, & I steal licks he didn’t even know he had ;)
