Spoken intro:
James: This is the song that everybody wants to hear
Matt: Everybody
Brian Fuller: Whether you're a man, woman, child, dog, bird, they all wanna hear this song.
James: You name it
Brian Lewis: Everybody loves it!
Matt: Everybody wants it
Brian Fuller: Oh, Louie that was good. Everybody loves it. They do. And it's not because Matt does the lead.
Matt: They've gotta love it! And it's only because I do the lead.
Rick: I pretty much guarantee it.
Matt: With the fun that's enthralled through me, there's nothing that could possibly touch this song (Laughter).
Brian Fuller: But it is, it's a fun song to do on stage, and everybody wants us to record it, "What album is that on?" when they come to the table, "what album is that song on?" So...
Matt: It's not on, well now it is on an album
Brian Fuller: It is on an album. And it's coming up
James: Right now
