Trivia/Info

  • This is a re-recording of the better-known original version released two years previously on Long Tall Weekend.
  • The song plays at more or less a constant 60 BPM march (check at BPM Calculator), which is one beat for every second that you get older while listening to the song.
  • Features the rauschpfeife and Eb contrabass sarrusophone.
  • The version on the European release of Mink Car is missing one rauschpfeife note near the end (the first solo note, corresponding to "time" in "time is marching on").
