Songfacts®:

  • View vocalist Kyle Falconer told the story of this song to the NME: "We stayed on at the studio after recording Which Bitch, it's a nice countryside spot and there was no real rush for him to go home to he just kept recording some bits and pieces on him own. Playing the spoons and making kazoos out of combs & Rizla. The first two albums had short signature tunes on them so he wanted to keep that idea going. It's not exactly a normal View track so we decided it would be nice to just pop it in on the end of the record as a nice little surprise/bonus track. There were a limited amount of videos at the studio, and one of them was the adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Witches. Owen, the producer, glued a witch's hat to his head. It was all quite 'out there' by this point."
