Songfacts®:

  • This song is about prostitutes that Sabbath bassist and lyricist Geezer Butler saw in Florida.
  • Technical Ecstacy was taped in Criteria Studios in Florida. The Eagles were in the next room recording Hotel California, and at times had to stop recording because Black Sabbath was so loud.
  • During the Technical Ecstacy tour, a strange character called "Tony's Twin" started showing up. The stranger dressed like Tony, grew a moustache, played guitar, made his own prosthetic thimbles like Iommi. The man even marketed these prosthetics; he swore they somehow aided guitarists.
