Cant believe that made it into the finished version.

Thank you sooo much! That lyric has driven me crazy for years! I always thought it was "Need your car for my first day" or "Need your car for Mother's day!" Ha ha! 😂

Yeah, me too! I always thought that the line had some deep meaning, or at least made sense in the context of the tracks. Ah well, lots of vocalists "blues" a bit when tracks are in progress. Bless 'em for their honesty in keeping this throwaway in the final mix.

At one point didn't Karl say that it was a verse in Latin? I seem to distinctly remember that. In one of the radio shows maybe. He could've been misdirecting us on purpose.

I think that was a classic Karl non-answer.

Ha, I love that this made it onto the final version, and that they just mangled it so no one would know.
