[edit] Trivia/Info

  • Roger Moutenot provides the whipcrack.
  • This track is largely based on Frank Sinatra's cover of the Petula Clark hit "Downtown," which he released on his "Strangers In The Night" LP. At times, the backing track is almost completely identical to the Sinatra song.
  • Used by Jake Fogelnest as the theme to his short-lived MTV show, Squirt TV.
  • This is also in the first episode of "30 Days", a tv show by "Super Size Me"'s Morgan Spurlock, in which he and his fiance live and work in with only minimum wage.
