An interesting thing about this song is the recurrence of the 'My Sharona' bass lick, in this case, the instrumental interlude with the fast guitar lick, e.g. underneath the lyric 'SPACE WARP'). This lick assumes a kind of a serial nature on the album; it's also on 'Tink Walks Amok', which on the original album came just before 'The Radio is Broken'. I also heard a rehearsal tape somewhere that had a very elaborate. atonal sort of loop melody, the basis of which is that 'Sharona' lick. It sounded like a variant of 'The Radio is Broken'.
