[edit] Trivia/Info

  • Less instrumentation than the final version, bass synth is more prominent, and rhythmic inflections are different in parts such as the "Hats as megaphones" line.
  • After the first "here's the reason why" is a crazy sound-sample-laden bridge, instead of the final's Raymond Scott's "Powerhouse" adaptation.
