Song History

Before this song was performed during a Dave & Tim performance on 9.24.95, Dave mentions that the song was recorded in an upstairs bathroom (presumeably for Remember Two Things). Dave jokes that the take that was taken from that Dave & Tim recording was the one with no toilet flushing. At yet another D&T performance on 2.5.96, Dave mentions this song was written about a girl named Julia.
