Song History
This was the first single from the 1992 Mune Mud album Underwater Problem Factory.

This song was obviously about a relationship. Or more specifically, the confusion that can come out of a relationship. The snoring at the beginning of the song was his friend Joe B. Joe had come by the Studio as Jason was getting ready to record. He laid down and fell asleep and started snoring. So Jason put the mic next to Joe and recorded him snoring. Later he recorded the song after the snoring.

Track Breakdown
The first track is the version that appeared on the album.

The second track is a remake of an older Mune Mud song. "EnVenum Above" originally appeared on the Mune Mud debut album in 1991 and then again on the debut re-release in 1994. And this is that original version of the song. But the song did not appear on 2008's Precursory 33. It was decided the quality of the original recording was too low to be brought back.

The third track is the instrumental version of the album track.
