I heard this when it first came out, and was in a tinny “C” band at the time. I played the tape for my buddy Bruce, thinking since our stuff was C & W flavored, we could work it up in some fashion. He hated it. Said it was weird. That was that. When DAMBit came up- I saw my chance. I played the guitar ( G capo3) on my Yamaha E thru a Sans Amp pedal for the “crunch” and sustain, air recording into a “boom Box” (with a Max Headroom sticker on it!). My 2 year old can be heard during the 2nd chorus in the background. I was in my daughters bedroom (now called Studio B) I ping ponged the vocal in a low impedance mike with digital delay and pitch shifter pedals…. clicking options and depressing pedals with one hand as I sang. The end of the song got smunched-so I clipped it after playback, therefore the somewhat abrupt end.
