The words and melody were mostly from Al and the musical bed and instrumental breaks were mostly my ideas and even if Al says he doesn't like the song, he has been playing it onstage consistently for the last 32 years! As soon as we added the saxophone in the studio there were obvious comparisons to YOTC. There was no attempt or even conversation about writing anything similar to ' Year Of The Cat' which Al wrote with Peter Wood.
