This song was written way back when, by yours truly and a very close friend that sadly does not share the same plane of existence that we live on anymore. We wrote this, as well as many others back in the mid to late 80’s in the Hypnotic Pons band days. At that time they had this thing called the Tascam Porta One Ministudio where you could write and record songs onto a cassette tape. Remember those? Well, on the Porta One Ministudio, you could record up to 4 whopping tracks! And if you kind of knew what you were doing, you could bounce those tracks over to a single track and record even more!  Sounds like some kind of crazy martian technology right!? There used to be a local music store near us where we would actually rent this crazy machine, and that’s how we spent a lot of our spare time for a few summers towards the end of high school and into college. Mostly just to amuse ourselves and friends.

This song was requested by my brother, and how he knew or even remembered this song I’ll never know. I guess I could just ask him? Seems like there was some old school tape to tape piracy going on that I wasn’t aware of. My first intent was to just break out the original song that’s on an OLD cassette tape, that’s located in a big box of tapes, and release that but unfortunately the tapes are in bad condition with some drop outs and the quality just wasn’t there. That’s when I figured to just redo it, and hopefully make it sound way better.

The song is about a tree frog. Not any particular one, so if you have a pet tree frog you could pretend it’s about him or her. There probably won’t be any other songs about frogs here, in case you were wondering, so I apologize in advance to all the Anura fans out there.
