    Story Behind the Song
    So one day Jesse calls me up, says "hey Matt, I've got an idea for a song I've been playing with, is it all right if I comes over and records it?" I says sure! Now Jesse, he usually plays a lot of funky rhythm guitar stuff (see "Step Outside," "Moog Discotech"), and he shows up and plays this great sweet blues thing! So I says cool, lemme throw together a beat for you to rock this over, grab a tape of Kyle drumming I recorded in his basement a couple weeks earlier, and put together this loop from it, and we put Jesse's idea to tape. All we got is the guitar and drum part, and that's how it stayed for a long time. I think we added the bassline during a party several months later, but until I get to Tucson nothing really was done with this song. Then months later, I'm playing around with a lot of old tracks, and I threw a couple pieces from a tape Annika recorded before she left for New York. I think she was listening to the Dogg Pound in the headphones when she recorded these vocals. So i chopped 'em up, added them to the track, put some double-time drums over it (the hi-speed drum sound came from the session where Jon Gottlieb and I recorded his band "The Burbanks" in the back room of his mom's antique shop) and added some more keyboards and bongos and stuff, and that was it! Enjoy. Oh, the song title comes from a swedish folk song that Annika sings, which is about a mama troll that sings a lullaby to her baby trolls when she puts them to bed. And the voices in the beginning are Geoff and Conner from various other sessions.
