Money City Maniacs

~ Recording by Sloan

Annotation

"I had a whole different way of singing the chorus. But Chris was so excited about the song that he started to write it, which never happens. We were trading demos. It was cool and I liked what he did with the verse, but I liked my chorus better. But he had the words and I didn't. We decided to use Chris' chorus and then I rewrote all the lyrics. The bass at the beginning is one note chuggin' all the way through, and that's basically a take-off of the AC/DC song "Live Wire"." — Patrick Pentland
