“During the recording of our previous album, it turned out that we had some tape left over after the recording process. As the record company had already contacted us a few times in the past looking for bonus material, we thought; ‘yep, we’ll come up with something fun.’

Every single time Ring Van Möbius plays together we start with a jam, and from a couple of such spontaneous antics we quickly put together this song which now forms the a-side of the single. The work with this material stood in contrast to the epic and rather complex material we worked on for the album, and in that sense was a breath of fresh air without any concrete thoughts about where this should end. We also had the pleasure of including our children and their friends, who then formed a children’s choir, which in the song mocks us old prog-gnomes and rightly so, with a twinkle in the eye.

The B-side of the single consists of our version of Edvard Grieg’s “Anitra’s Dance”, which we have incorporated into our concert setups a few times already. It was very spontaneous, and not least the last part of the song which is just a series of lucky coincidences.

I think both songs were recorded live, first take, then to get vocals and other overdubs in place.

Very funny for us, hope it rubs off on you!”
