There's a new sensation
A fabulous creation
(Oh and don't try to argue with me that there are skips on this album. Oh the Bogus Man is too long and scary? Get real)
Kind of a random one but it's hard to imagine that this tune — especially the combo of minimalist/funky guitar licks, exuberant drum fills, spacey Prophet 5 synth excursions, and backing vocal chants in the second half of the song — wasn't a big influence on the Speaking on Tongues LP
It's just like John Swartzwelder said:
"Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible […] Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done."
