Comments: In the introduction to the live version of the song on 'Greatest Hits Live', Lonnie Jordan reveals that the inspiration for the song came when he spilled a glass of wine on a mixing board in the recording studio. Eric Burdon found the event funny, so he and Jordan used it as the inspiration for the song. Nevertheless, Burdon was not co-credited for the songwriting.
