About This Track

“Well you know it’s funny because I’m not a pot smoker at all and I was really nervous about it, decided I would smoke some pot in my bedroom in high school. So I’m in there getting high and I thought, ‘Y’know what? I think I need to join the army so I can pay for school’ and I went out to tell my father, and he’s sitting there watching TV and I said, ‘Hey poppa d’ya think I should, I think… I think I’m gonna join the army’ and he just looked up at me and said, ‘You’re fucking high’ and looked back at the TV set. And I went back to my room going, ‘Can he tell? Or is that just an expression? Maybe he can tell. It’s just an expression… can he tell?’”

I have to write this down before I forget.. the next time you're singing the sax/trumpet part at the end, put some words into it. Here's what I came up with: low part: "Banana nut... banana nut bread... banana nut bread... it is goooood." high part: "Banana nut... banana nut bread is good... banana nut bread, it is very goood!" Yeah, I do know how ridiculous this is, but if you get your friends to sing at the same time, this really can be pretty entertaining.

Saw this live, and at the solos, he would just stop playing and have the audience sing the horns/piano parts. It was wonderful, as is this song in general. :)
