Bad is the key word and Isaak's high pitched wailing makes this sound a bit spooky too (1995).

This song urges us to break loose from convention (and connect with our inner beast?). Figure it's a good intro to the next song (1968 #2).

Know quite aq bit qabout #9 I have worked with Pete Brown, the lyricist, and recently went to see him when he was producing in Hollywood. If the chorus sounds lyrically out of step with the rest of the song, well it is. Pete had the verses, but they didn't haqve a hook or a title. Eric Clapton came up with "In the Sunshine If Your Love" which Pete hated but they had nothing else so went with it.
