The song's tone is described as intimate as Frank Zappa's sliding left hand gives it a special flavor. Zappa played a fast paced solo, while Youman played the accompaniment. The track has some of the dreamy intensity of half-conscious perception as Youman falters at the end and Zappa asks, "you getting tired?"; "no, my fingers got stuck." He played bass for The Mothers in 1974 - standing in for Tom Fowler who had broken a bone in his hand. Youman provided bass for One Size Fits All, Studio Tan, Sleep Dirt, and Läther.
