	Story Behind the Song I can't remember where the idea for this came from. I guess I just had to write something about the friendly hippopotamus, one of the more interesting creatures of the Earth. This is also the first time I had any guests on an SP song. Kim and Miles were really cool to work with and gave this song a lot energy. They are both very professional and very talented people. Kim is very adaptable and gave a stunning vocal performance for what had to be some of the strangest lyrics this side of the galaxy. Miles created a whole bunch of cool guitar parts for this, much more than I had expected, but they really took this song to the next level. Miles also provided a lot of valuable suggestions for the final mixes. I couldn't have done this without them.
