Oh I almost forgot, the reason I was searching threads about this song is that way down in the mix so faint it seems only there to be a goof is a---tuba!? In the right channel at the beginning and then again several times later in the mix. It is making these farty kinds of sounds. Real deep farts.

You probably can't hear it on your stereo but here at my studio I listen for little details sometimes and this one has me wondering at the humour of it all. I normally hear trucks going through gear changes in downtown traffic outside symphony hall during a recording...that's the kind of detail I hear (I am in the business) but a tuba?!

I have what they call the "remastered" version of this cut and will listen with great interest to see if the tuba is on perhaps the original vinyl recording or got added by a prankster later. Of course Todd all ways had a wicked sense of humour. I'm betting he put it on there on the original.
