This song is our first collaboration in over 25 years…in the spring of 2018 I sent Brad a lyric idea, a nonsense verse:
The monkey swings through the trees
and dances with the man on the flying trapeze
Brad wrote the song based on the lyric, and borrowed the guitar riff from I Got a Babe, an old Spud song…he sent me a basic track and I added slide guitar and background vocals…turned out to be a cool song!
