| Typical john entwistle song. Dark humour all over it. Love it. John entwistle at his vocal best. His sax best. And of course, his bass is flawless as usual. | |

| He played the horns on this one too. :O It's straightforward and silly, about how his wife is gonna bitch to him about being gone for a while, and he thinks he has to hide from the monster. | |
