lyrics

Mike: What were we gonna do next? Uhh…oh, “Dolphins”.

Bryan: Let’s do “Dolphins”.

Mike: And “Miracles”.

Bryan: And let’s get it right, since this is the…this is gonna be the
really first time we do it on good tape.

Mike: Right, exactly. (two guitar chords) Wanna rehearse it once before we record? (to Engineer): We’re gonna rehearse something before we, before we tape it. It’s only, like, a minute long.

(Bryan practices “Dolphins” bass line.)

Mike: Buh…you wanna try the, the stupid fast version?

Toss: Why not?

Mike: Buh doon doon doon gadingg, OK.

Toss: Stupid fast?

Mike: Doodle a didden didden diddle it, Ba Da Ba Down Ba Dogga Deh Down, one, two. OK? A-one, two, three, four…

(The first “Dolphins” attempt is made. Beller commits a strong wrong and bangs his bass to commemorate the fact.)

Mike: Ha, ha, ha.

(Toss keeps playing.)

Bryan: I’m gonna have to…

Mike: Eh heh, you’re playing solo, Toss.

Bryan: Sorry, I’m gonna have to stand next to my amplifier.

Mike: That’s fine. Ready? A-one, two, three, four…

(Band plays “Dolphins” successfully.)

Mike: Shall we?

Rooster: Cock-a-doodle-doo!

Toss: Did you get that on tape? (laugh) You did?

Mike (unaware): No.

Bryan: That wasn’t on tape?

Mike: No! That was an…uh…

Bryan: That was fuckin’…

Mike: That was a practice, I told you that was practice.

Bryan: I knew we were gonna get it right!

Mike: (laughs)

Toss: Yeah.

Mike: That wasn’t perfect.

Toss: No, it wasn’t.

(Bryan practices end lick.)

Mike: Let’s look, duh..I think the tape is rolling now, by the way.
(laughs)

Bryan: What?

Mike: I think the tape is rolling now, by the way. (laughs)

Bryan: Oh. (plays blues outro lick)

Mike: Ready? OK. I’m very conservative with the tape.
