There's two versions of this song which have official releases. The studio version is on
the 1996 album 'Jawbox'. However there is also a demo version on My Scr*pbook of Fatal
Accidents. Both versions are pretty identical though in terms of bass lines. There are
also only two bass parts to this song.
