This song was inspired from listening to children's records in my collection, and by a series of dreams I had. This track appeared on the "Area Sets" album in a much more minimalist form. Tent Sleeps 4 did this one live. Scott created a film for this which was projected onto the audience from a hand held projector. The "Forks and Knives and Spoons" chorus seems to have some mental magneticism. Nearly twenty years later, someone sang the chorus to me at the Lava Lounge during a record release party.
