Notes About This Song

1. As mentioned during "Star Special", FZ as a guest DJ on BBC Radio 1 in 1980, the original name of the track is a bit longer: "And I will now provide you with a piece of information about the title: that's not the complete title of this song. The REAL title of this song is 'Playing A Guitar Solo With This Band Is Like Trying To Grow A Watermelon In Easter Hay'. And that's where it came from."
