This was written by guitarist/singer Lowell George and his frequent collaborator Martin Kibbee. Kibbee had the original idea, then played it for George, who added the guitar part.
This is probably the song that convinced Warner Bros. not to drop the band because it showed their commercial potential. Ironically, neither the song nor the album charted.
Kibbee and George started their own publishing company around this time called Naked Snake Music because they had lost the rights to their earlier songs.
Kibbee was often credited, including on this song, as Fred Martin. This meant that the writing credit would go to "George/Martin." George Martin was the producer for The Beatles and this was their way to pay tribute to him.
The inability of this song to chart led to the personnel changes that added guitarist Paul Barrere and expanded the lineup from four people to six.
