YOU ANNOY ME (listen to MP3 sample)

THE SONG: Last one. The title of this song was originally "It Annoys Me" but we tweaked it. The original idea was a Mike Naydock creation. I rewrote the second verse a bit after we changed the title. The band wrote the "Come On" section in the studio. I still can't remember the voicings on the guitar parts. We did this really fast. I love the Vatican reference. The song is basically about false humility.

THE RECORDING: Also recorded fast. Leslie guitars in the second verse, a bit of slide in the solo, and a cool crescendo at the end. Nothing to it.
