The first lyrics were the ‘Shake yer brother’ lines which George wrote. Dave wrote all the rest of the words apart from the ‘What could be better’ lines which again George wrote. This song is in Am and has a 6/8 feel. Sometimes The Ug Brothers would use the ending of this song to break down into feedback and noise to start off The Ug Song, instead of using Spin Gone Crazy to break down into feedback and noise to start off The Ug Song. The vocal harmonies and ‘Ooooo’ sections were all created by Natalie. ‘Look up into the light’ refers to the Sephirah Kether from the Kabbalistic Tree of Life, implying a raising one’s spiritual consciousness, rather than squinting at a 60 watt pearl bulb.
