Yeah, and I think the opening to "Maine" sounds similar to that of "Good Day Sunshine," but that doesn't mean I think the Beatles (or would it be Michael Jackson now?) should sue Linnell. -- May the light shine upon thee, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 May 2001 11:51:34 -0400 (EDT) From: "Jason A.

As for "Mr. Xcitement" and "Your Mom's Alright" both being on there, that would be pretty weird.

If so, the song doesn't just *sound* like Twisting, it *is* Twisting. It's sped up, with the vocals down a little bit, but it's definately the last 10 or so seconds of the song.

You can even hear the background vocals if you listen closely.
