You know I haven't listened to it in ages, but I DO think I stumbled upon it when playing around with arpeggios the other week / fortnight. (Actually gay little arpeggios are pretty much the only way I know how to flesh out an arrangement or add a little width to a melody, hence the birth of my recording of PIG).

It's fun enough to play around with... but I still dislike the song and think it's crap. :o) Comparatively speaking or otherwise.
