    Additional info from session drummer David Heinke:
    Roy–bass, he may have sung a scratch vocal, but this is definitely a leggy song (with ant doing the lower octave)
    Ant–gtr
    Leggy–gtr
    I think this was from the second day of tracking…I could be wrong…but I’m sure Christian was there. The main thing I remember about this is that Roy really wanted me to recreate this percussion sound effect from the demo. I basically just used a china cymbal and a few tom hits. And the demo also had this faux-rhumba beat during the chorus. I had thought I would do the “rhumba” stuff as an overdub, and just track an “I saw her standing there”-type beat, but they were not into that :) Anyway, I think I came up with a good workaround; it rocks pretty good. This is one of my favorites of the ones I did with them.
