I wrote the tune while running on a treadmill one night. It was
just after I heard the announcement on NPR. I didn't have any
paper, so I just drilled the song over and over in my head until I
finished jogging. It was the longest 13.5 seconds of my life.
Note I want to send a special thank you to
Laurie Harden, who helped me completely restructure the song to
emphasize the strong chorus up front. Steve Alcorn, and David
Geoghegan also made a large impact on the lyrics of the diddy. Thanks
Guys!

I used Fruity Loops for the drum pattern, the adrenalinn for the fill
guitar and amplified guitars, and I experimented with a box of alka
seltzer tablets in all sorts of containers - metal thermoses, big glass
vases, simple tumbler glasses. In the end, the sound effect I used
was generated from an aluminum coffee mug, the two alka seltzer tablets,
about 1.5" of water and my microphone buried deep into the
cup. Once the tune was mixed, I drove over to Fann's crib in
Orlando, where she belted out the vocals like the pro she is - 3 days
before Christmas no less! - Thanks
Fann!
