and, of course you can slide down from 7 to 0 on the E to mimick the fade
that M.Mills did on "Late Show".

On backing vocals: I've found that it's preetty easy to do the backing
vocals while playing bass on this song. There's the two lines in the last
verse, as well as that weird "eee-e-e-ahah" in the refrain.
