The original inspiration for the song was Neil's son,
Liam Finn, who uttered several phrases which later became lyrics while affected by fever. The song shares musical similarities with "
Norwegian Wood" by
the Beatles. The song is unusual in the modern pop/rock era, being a 3/4 time signature song, compared to most contemporary music being in 4/4. This gives it a distinctive, waltz-like swing. On the live album, LIVE 92–94, Pt. 1 – Track 8, Neil counts out 1,2,3 1,2,3 after slowing the band down during the performance intro. ==Reception==
