Trivia / Info:

• The clapping at the end sounds truncated because it continues onto Damn Good Times.
• The single and album versions have different middle solos - the single version contains a flute solo, whereas the album version has a guitar solo. On the commercial pressings of "The Spine", part of the flute solo is accidentally heard as the next verse begins - this flaw is apparently missing on promotional copies. (A bootlegged version also exists that edits both solos together.)

Song Themes: Clothes, Denial, French, Games, Language, No, People (Real), Presidents, Questions, References To Other Songs Or Musicians, Religion, Supernatural, Shapes, Weather
