If I recall, this was the first MDS track. The first few takes of the vocals Dave was having a bit of trouble with the timing or words. Figuring he was bopping and grooving to the music too much, at the start of the last take he said “less dancing, more singing”. We thought it was funny so it was left in.

mumbling something to me but what does it mean?
I think I would be there now if I spoke some Japanese
Instead I’m hearing laughter when I try to form certain words
My patience is slipping and the sake gone to my head

Lyrics:
Everytime I see you dear
I want to take a spoon and scoop out my eyes
Everytime I hear you laugh
It reminds me of a dentists drill
So maybe I should try and move out of the city
Maybe I should change my name
And maybe I
Oh maybe I
Maybe I could get away from you.
