According to the liner notes in his anthology, Joe Walsh was working in a new studio with a 24-track recorder. He made an agreement with his bandmates to screw around for the first 15 seconds; whatever they did would be the song intro.
But when they all went into the studio, nobody else recorded anything--save Joe and his demented scremaing. But he stayed true to the bet and kept it on there.
And, in another interview, Joe said that "Meadows" was written before "My Woman from Tokyo"--if anything, they stole it from him, not the other way around.
