FROM THE ALBUM: Frank.
-
This is not, in fact, a song, but 10 seconds
of studio chatter. This is the newsgroup's best go and deciphering it.
E.T. Thorngren (producer): Here we go! Who
counts? (or "roll counts" - uncertain since it doesn't sound like it's
being posed as a question, but the next line doesn't make sense if it's
not)
Jools: Fatty. (a reference to Gilson, who
had recently lost much weight)
(someone sniggers. Glenn?)
E.T.: Somebody count!
Gil: I'm not fat.
Jools: I take it back, I take it back. Alright?

Michelle Jacksier offers this transcription
of a radio interview in which Glenn talks about the track.
This interview took place on WLUP radio in
Chicago with Danny Bonaduce, Glenn and Chris in November 1994 when they
were in Chicago, and just wonderful I might add.
Caller: At the beginning of Frank,
GT: Yeah
Caller: where you guys, ok I can recite
the whole thing, where its like ok, who counts, and you say "fatty"
GT: Actually, it's Jools who says "fatty"
It was the first day of recording and.. well Gilson was having a a bit
of a thing with is weight at the time, and Jools laughingly referred to
him as fatty and Gilson our drummer at the time got a bit upset.
caller: oh ok
GT: so there was a 10 second period of silence
followed by "I'm not fat" (laughter)
