The cops had banging on the door, 35 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: and as you know, there's a bit of a swinging 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: party going on. So that was a story that I 37 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: worked up next day with a smile on my face 38 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: and just wrote the song. 39 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 4: You know, in about twenty minutes. 40 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: I mean, I've been wanting to write a song with 41 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,040 Speaker 1: that groove for about a year and hadn't managed it. 42 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 4: Attempted a few times and didn't quite gell. 43 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 1: But that party, that experience seemed perfect for that groove, 44 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: and it just came together quickly. But the lyrics are 45 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 1: literally what happened in the story of the song, other 46 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: than the fact in the song I changed the ending 47 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: to give it a happier ending where the police actually 48 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: joined the party in the song, but in the reality 49 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: it was. 50 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: Actually just a tapping inning. 51 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 1: They they they threatened me with saying we come back, 52 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: it will be a huge fine. I'm like, oh whatever, 53 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: and so off they went and never came back anyway. 54 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: So we kept partying. So it was a happy ending 55 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: both stories, the real one and the thing. But I 56 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 1: made the song, as I say, you changed the story 57 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: a little bit to make it a bit more universal. 58 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 3: It's cool that the song says that the cops came 59 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 3: and joined the party.
