This is a partial cover of the 1967 song by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, played by request of a caller on a radio show in 1992. It was suggested after TMBG performed "Smells Like Teen Spirit", but the band passed on it at first because it sounded too much like the first song. After a few more unappealing choices (including "25 O'Clock", which they would cover 3 years later), they settled on doing a snippet of "Fire".
